I can't figure out how to gain access to the seat belt tensioner (ie remove the cover) Am I an idiot? (don't answer that ) It is a 1989 4.3 extended cab. Thanks in advance for any help.
I'm trying to replace the low beam bulb I have removed the two screws and the assembly is loose. How do I get the assembly out so that I can replace the bulb The TORX screws I see, seem to be for adjustment only
I have a 1994 S10 P/U I bought new. When I turn on the wipers, I get both speeds and spray, but they won't shut off. I have to pull the fuse. Only when they are turned on, they don't shut off. When the power is interrupted(fuse pulled), they "reset". The wiring has never been disturbed, no alarm, stereo, etc. have been added. What is the probable cause? I alredy replaced the lever on the column.
hello, i'm glad i found this useful forum. i have a 91 s-10 pickup 4wd with 235,000 miles. i just replaced the engine, and awhile ago most of the other driveline parts were replaced. all i lack is having it painted and a decent seat and it will be like a new truck - so why quit now! whats a good source for getting a seat? the one in it is acceptable but is pretty worn out. the previous owner was heavier than i am and it isn't firm anymore, and has rips. i havent checked on a junkyard seat, but if thats the best thing i might. i almost blacked out when i saw the price they wanted for a j c whitney seat (who i never buy from anyway) but its the only site i turned up that was selling them. any ideas? experiences? its just a basic bench seat, not power, and cloth.
Personally if it was me, I would just stop by at a junkyard. You can find some basically brand new [non-permissible content removed] at junkyards for practically free.
I have just recently purchased a 2000 GMC Sonoma SLS. Unfortunetly the gentlemen before me has broken both the tailgate cables. I tried to order some today but the guy at the parts counter said he couldn;t find the cables for my vehicle. So my question is, what size cables will fit my truck or if theres another set that will fit it from another truck?
Right up under my oil filter is the transmission plug I believe so I'm scared to take that out. I can't find the oil pan anywhere, I thought I found it but there are no plugs anywhere?
">I called 3 Walmarts to find Goodyear Wrangler Tires for our Sonoma -none in stock. Called Grismer they could sell them for $20 more a piece! I said no thanks. So i called 2 walmarts and asked if Goodyear Viva 2 would make much difference since i don't do loading but 2x a year. They said no. They put 2 in front and I was going to going to have to get the other 2 on back somehwere else. However, i see a big difference in handling-no so good. Yes I have on 2 styles of tires now. But I am concerned I should have had a specific truck tire. Not to mention the valves they put on are for a monster truck tire (sticks out past wheel)-looks so stupid. I have to go back to have them fix the latter and I want my old flat tires back. Anyone hear of putting performance tires on truck? Think I will be okay to get the other AE Viva 2 put on back? 99 Sonoma Ext Cab

You click on a topic, and get 20 out of 23 posts not related. Mix in a wiper blade post when it started out seats and what not. How the heck do you follow through with this nonsense?

Are your turn signals and Emergency flashers different lenses and bulbs?
If so, turn signal if out on one side is always a bulb out on that side. If all are out not working, then check flasher. Even if warning lights do work.
hello, my name is don, and i just finished rebuilding my 2000 s10 2.2l vin5 engine. it runs great, but im having some issues with my temp, and fuel guage not working at all. as i was driving to seat the rings, the check engine light came on. i plugged my code reader into the OBD2 port with the engine running, and later on with it not, and nothing at all from the reader. i know it works fine as i plugged it into another one of my other cars. i was thinking maybe a grounding issue, so i double checked all my grounds, and still nothing. can you help me out with this prob?? please. thank you don
ur the man dude!! the cig fuse was done, my diagnostics work fine now, im getting a knock sensor code, and mytemp and fuel guages still dont work at all. any other pointers for me?? thanks don
The thing with codes is, erase them and see what comes back. If you had temp and fuel before the engine work. You need to find out what is not hooked up, or what wire maybe pinched and shorted.
i got the knock sensor code erased, drove it for good while, nothing at all. went to drive up the street to the store, and it came on immediately. im pretty sure there arent any wires shorted. if there were, fuses would be popping left and right, wouldnt they?? when i drove it last night by the way, my brights light on the dash doesnt work, along with the guages, and the needles for the guages dont work at all either. everything wlse works fine as far as i know though. could this issue be tied into a grounding problem that wont necessarily make the engine not run? anything at all helps me out, and i appreciate everything youre telling me already. thanks again, don
i just fired it up this morning, and cleared the code withe my OBD2 reader, i noticed that when the key is in the on position, right before it powers the ignition, primes the fuel pump, etc. my odometer readings show, but when i turn the key to the fully on position, to start it, they go off/away. im thinking this is tied into the same thing as everything else. am i wrong?? waht do you think?? thank you for taking the time again to help me out, much appreciation. thank you, don
would this be behind the key, in the steering column? i checked the ign fuse and every other fuse i could, and there fine. does the switch maybe explain every problem im having?thanks again for all the pointers, learning a lot as well. don
I was diagnosing the indicator light problem, it appears to be related to the ignition switch. As far as all your problems, you have to start some where. The switch is located at the key assy, follow the bundle of large wires to locate it. Be careful taking off the top cover with the hazard switch, it is easily broken.
yea my switch broke off awhile age..do you have to take the steering wheel, etc off to get this out, or can you just go through the column itself? and how would you test the ignition to c if its the problem??thanks a ton don
ohhh yea, looks like a blast. thank you so much for your help. i appreciate it greatly, i will let you know what i find out if/when i find it, thanks again, don
I can find the access door for the oil filter but not the oil drain plug.
