a resivore is is where you keep a big storage in
the one on the radiator
in the master cylinder resivore ; )
The horn is located inside the drivers side fender, behind the window washer resivore.
You Put The Antifreeze In The Coolant Resivore.. These Escape Don't Have A Radiater Cap..... Hope This Helps
when the pump is going out it will make a humming noise from the bearings even if the resivore is full.
First: check the Serpentine (V) Belt, if it's missing or damaged, Replace (AC Delco # 6K1093, Metric # 6PK2770). Second : Check the Power Steering "Resivore" Fluid Level, if it's low or empty, find out where it's leaking from and get it fixed...
First check air compressor located under windshield wiper fluid resivore. Open to see if piston is broken if broken used unit is 250.00 or 400.00 new also of your truck is leaning down in the front on passanges side you may have to replace strut with air bag can not rebuild they run 150.00 used and 350.00 new can be done on your own
On the left (driver's side) valve cover. Standing by the fender, take a flashlight and looking down toward the engine, just by the Windshield Washer Reservoir Cap, you will see a rubber hose going down to a nipple held by a spring clamp. That's the PCV Valve. You need to remove the "resivore" for access.....
Your oil cooler is leaking, Caddy dealer quoted $2500 to completely repair, (they recommend new hoses when this happens). i got the parts on eBay for about $400, get the complete kit, and it is a semi-advanced repair. the oil cooler is located in the bottom of the V in your engine, so you'll be taking lots of parts off, and remember to mark all your vacuum lines.
First Bleed the rear brakes then the fronts. Check the brake fluid in the resivore. Also check the the E-Brake switch is working properly, Then drive the van a few feet an cram on the brakes hard. If previous suggestion does not help, there is a chance that the valve is jammed and will not center. Replacement may be necessary. Just take your foot and stomp the break pedal real hard, 4 to 5 times. This should push the ball back over. Give it a try. Works for me.
Had the same problem wiht my cougar. in some cases it is a faulty sensor. The sensor is really easy to replace and only costs like 15 dollars from any ford dealership. Also you must fill the coolant past the recommended full mark. I replaced my sensor and still had problems, but when i filled the resivore up slightly past the "hot" fill mark i have never had problems wiht it since ALSO WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD THE COOLANT LEVEL IS ALWAYS LOWER THAN HOT. MIGHT WANT TO TAKE THE CAP OFF AND LOOK IN RADIATIOR WHILE COLD, MAY JUST BE A LITTLE LOW OF COOLANT. ANOTHER WORK AROUND WOULD BE TO UNPLUG WIRES TO SENSOR AND PUT A JUMPER WIRE BETWEEN THE TWO AND DISABLE THE PROBLEM.
This is how i did it last year on my 97 Cutlass Supreme: First you need a cursing jar, a six pack & a short piece of rubber hose that fits over the plugs. Start by properly gapping your new plugs. Remove the front top engine mounts(aka dog bones), put a bolt on one of the engine mount & attach a strap(ratchet) to it and anything in front of the car that won't move(I used the vise on my workbench). Put the parking brakes on, the car in neutral, then move the engine forward as far as it will go without damaging anything. I then remove the coolant overflow "resivore" & moved the alternator out of the way. Bingo, 5 minutes per plugs(used the rubber hose to start the plugs by hand, it prevents crossthreading). 2 hrs later(including the front plugs) I put away the cursing jar & started the car...
