Re: rear fan motor

it turned out to be a bad contact at the plug from the motor. the motor is located just forward of the back right wheel if you look under the van there is 3 bolts that hold it on. I was wondering if anyone knows what the coil is connected to the wires from the fan. It is just forward of the fan with...

Re: Odometer Rollback

my odometer was rolled back either in surrey where I bought it or in japan. Even if your odometer wasn't rolled back your gauge pod could have been changed. anyway in 3 years my alternator failed and thats it knock on wood.

Re: A/C orfice plugged?

when the clutch engages a few seconds later the pump stops turning and the belt starts squelling.I think theres a blockage causing the compressor to seize due to too much pressure.

A/C orfice plugged?

Does anyone know where the orfices are located in the a/c system? I think my ice box orfice is plugged. What happens is a few seconds after I turn the A/C on the compressor stops turning. I took it out and put 12V to it and it seems to turn fine this is why I think I have a blockage.

Re: Handbrake light comes on (and off) when going over bumps...

The light is just coming on because your brake pads are getting smaller. This does not mean your brake pads need to be replaced wait till the light comes on all the time. Also don't add brake fluid because when you do put in new pads and push the calipers back you will have too much fluid.

Re: An interesting electrical problem...

You should get a spark with everything off and no key because when you open your car door the interior lights go on. Maybe your trunk isnt fully shut and your interior lights are on all the time.Try putting the fuse back in and push the door open switch with your finger to simulate all doors shut th...
