The thermostat is inside of the thermostat housing, where the top radiator hose connects. You will need to disconnect the top hose and unbolt the thermostat housing to get to the new thermostat. Make sure that the new unit comes with a housing gasket, as some gaskets are sold separately. Make sure to clean all of the old gasket off, and use gasket sealer as per the installation instructions.

How do you replace the headlight bulb located on a Acura Legend?
Lift the hood to find the rear of each head lamp assembly. there is cup-shaped cover over the rear that needs to be rotated 1/4 turn one way or the other and removed to access the bulb inside. With fingers or needle-nose pliers, depress and unhook the centering wire-keepers off of the bulb and pull-out the bulb by the connector. Now, an enhancement that I have made would be to buy those white-hots or other blue bulbs and carve-off the alignment nobule, in order to accept that bulb's connector into the harness...Happy-happy,,glad-glad,,smile-smile!!! Reassemble in reverse and keep on truckin' wichobadself !...BB

Does the fan work?
if not, check fuses.
if does work, check coolant level first.
Next, check heater valve in engine compartment, on fire wall, has ~ 1 inch hoses
connected between the engine and to the heater core inside the passenger side.
Have someone turn temperature knob inside car and observe cable on Heater Valve is moving. (Can be simple as the screw on top of heater valve loose or
cable maybe stuck). Heater valve can be stuck closed. Check hose gets hot between valve and heater core.
Where is the EGR valve located on a 1998 Acura RL and how hard is it to replace?
It is located directly under the black metal tube which runs across the rear of the engine compartment and on the passenger side. First remove the Acura cover, then remove the support bar referenced above. Remove the spring clip on top of the EGR valve as well as the rubber boot. Next remove the 2 bolts on either side of the valve, as well as the small rubber hose. It should be stuck on rather tightly by the gasket, and at this point it requires a little bit of effort to break it loose. Make sure to replace the gasket when you put the new valve on. Pretty simple fix, valve can just be expensive.

How do you reset the maintenance required light on a 1989 Mitsubishi pickup?
Just to the right side of the steering wheel post is a 1 inch by 2 inch plastic plug. The emergency lights are placed in a similar plug on the left side of the wheel. The plastic plug will come out easily with a small screwdriver or such, and located behind it about 1.5 inches, you will find a small switch. Take a screwdriver or lever and move the switch to the right or left. That will turn off the light for 50 k when you will need to do it again. when you do it again you will move the switch to the other side.

How do you change window regulator in 1998 Acura RL 3.5?
If you are moderately handy and careful, this is a reasonable DIY project.
The biggest challenge is removing the interior door panel without damage. It is fastened around the outside edge - sides and bottom - by plastic clips. It is fastened through the middle by various screws. Once these are all removed or undone, the panel lifts up, out of brackets that hold it at the top.
Remove the screws first. There is a little trim piece at the back of the door handle inset that you can pop out with a small screwdrive, and an Philips head screw behind that. There is another philps screw in the middle of the door below the armrest. This actually stays in the panel, but you need to unscrew it. There is also one in the middle of a round rubber bumper near the top outer corner of the door.
Definitely get a tool from your local auto parts store that is made for sliding under panels and gently removing clips. I happen to have an AmPro tool I purchased at a local auto parts store. Without this, it is very easy to have them pull through the door panel or break, both things you want to avoid. There are two clips along the bottom, and two on each side.
Once you think you have these all removed, the panel should lift straight up and off. If not, you probably missed something. Go back and check, do not force it.
A helper is handy here, since you now will need to remove the wires and cables holding the panel close to the door. The door handle and cable is one. There is a flat aluminum clip at one end of the latch assembly on the back of the panel. Remove the single screw in the middle and voila, the handle assembly is now detached. There is a wire harness plug into the bottom of the window power switch, and into the door light at the outer end of the panel. Each of these need squeezing from the sides of the connectors to pull them out. The ash tray also needs to be removed. Open it, and use a screwdriver to press down on the rod that goes from side to side at the top. It should be obvious once you see it, it is what holds the tray in place. This then lets that assembly come out.
Now remove the speaker (4 screws and a squeeze connector for the wires), and the speaker enclosure (4 screws).
Now you will be faced with wires - held to the panel by clips, some trim pieces on the upper corners of the door (each with a small white clip). Use that tool again and gently remove any clips that are still into the door.
Call your helper again, to assist in removing the plastic barrier that is no longer held in by any clips, but on really gooey stuf along the edge of the door. I used a razor knife as I pulled it away, to keep it from stretching in long strings and really making a mess. Definitely helps to have someone who can hold this up as you are removing it.
Now you should have reasonable access - albeit tight - to the regulator and motor. Still that gooey stuff around the door, try to keep it off of you, wires, and other parts.
The motor and cable coil assembly is held in place by 4 bolts (metrics) that are in keyhole sockets. This is very obvious, it is to the upper inside of the door. You can loosen the bolts, and slide it up and out. The other part - the track and slide for the windor - is straight up and down, smack in the middle of the door. As I recall, it has two bolts at the top and two at the bottom. Also a bracket that the bottom of the window sits in. Before you remove this, attached the window in some way so it does not slide down and in your way. An old rag or paper towels over the top of the door frame, and duct tape around that and on each side of the window should do the trick.
Oh, and there is a squeeze connector where this is wired in the center of the door, too.
Assembly is just the reverse of all this.
You can get a new regulator assembly and motor from Auto Parts Warehouse for about $90.
I have not been able to locate a source for replacement clips. Very easy to damage the ones that hold the wires in place, so if these do not snug up during reassembly, consider some silicone caulk to hold them in place to prevent rattles. Make sure this caulk fastens them to the door and not just the flexible plastic sheeting.
Definitely a lot of labor involved, give yourself plenty of time and don't rush.
Oh, and if you need to drive the car before you get it fixed and want to keep the window up, you can use a wire tie around the slide mechanism and through existing holes in the door to keep the window in place. This is at the upper part of the door, so you need to remove the panel completely but might be able to cheat and not remove all the plastic sheet. This is also something to consider if you don't want to invest in a new regulator, but just want to make sure the window doesn't come down by itself.
