Buick Rendezvous

just use self taper screws

You can change it yourself.. not really that hard.. Open the hood then look on the engine side of the headlight. There is a black cover that removes by moving the clip. Then remove the wire from the bulb. next, there is a metal clip. It is a little hard to get the clip off but once you get it off it is very easy.. Just remove the clip then take out old bulb and replace.

It could be one of the following: 1. Tires are out of balance, 2. Perhaps one or both tires may wobble. 3. Brake rotors may have warped.

on a 2003 , The spare tire is under the floor carpet in the back ,, then open the panel

You will have to remove the pushrods, and there are two ways to do it. Lisle makes a pushrod tool specifically for 3100 and 3400 gm engines which tips the rockers far enough away from the pushrods so they can be removed, or you can just loosen the rockers up enough until the pushrods are able to come out. I would recommend buying the tool and removing the pushrods that way though because otherwise you will have to loosen and retighten the rocker bolts which have a few different torque specifications. They have revised their specs on rocker torque i think a couple of times, and i have seen a lot of rockers which people have pulled the threads right out when tightening the rockers too hard so if you do take the rockers off, i would take a 3/8 ratchet and get it good and snug. Do not reef on it just get it good and snug. The tool is neat though because it acts as a lever and pulls on the bottom side of the rocker on one side and pushes on the top of the other side and you can pull the pushrods right out and then you don't have to worry about anything. The tool is inexpensive too, maybe 15-20 dollars i think. I hope this information helps You will have to remove the pushrods, and there are two ways to do it.

There are two oxygen sensors on my wife's 02 rendezvous. I replaced them less than 1 month ago, had a service engine soon indicator on the panel. The easy O2 sensor to replace is just after the catalytic converter. The other O2 sensor is on the exhaust manifold on the rear (near firewall) bank of cylinders. I was able to gain access to and replace this one from underneath the car reaching up around the exhaust pipe. It's not a difficult fix. You'll will need an O2 sensor socket and/or a O2 sensor wrench. I bought both at Autozone. The wrench (sold for Ford and SUVs, Greatneck tools) was about 30 dollars the socket about 10 dollars, autozone has a tool lending program and one of these tools was a part of that program, but of course they didn't have one availlable to lend. I figured I'd bring back the one I didn't use. As it turned out, I ended up using both, so didn't take back either. Including tools, it was still far less money than it would have been at the dealer. I had a printout of the cost of the sensors from rockauto.com, my autozone couldn't quite match rockauto's price, but they did deeply discount the sensors. They were quite helpful, so I gave autozone the business. I also bought a subscription for the ALLDATA repair manual on the Rendezvous. It was semifunctional, diagrams are poor. Judging from my chilton's manual for my camry, you'd be far better off getting a Chilton's repair manual for the rendezvous. I guess one buys the CD and they give the purchaser a code to unlock the specific model manual. Rockauto.com has it for less than if buying it from Chilton directly. Rockautos's price is about 13.99 not sure about shipping. I think I paid 30 dollars for the crappy ALLDATA manual. Goodluck

Jack up the car and take off the tire. After the tire has been removed, decompress the brake caliper and remove the brake shoes. Remove the 2 bolts attaching the caliper and remove the caliper. There are 2 more bolts left, they hold the caliper mount on. Remove those 2 and the Rotors wil come right off

It is located about half way down the block on the drivers side closer to the back.

There are two sensors one for the gauge and one for the engine. One (temp. Sensor) is located on the front top of engine by the goose neck for the upper radiator hose. the other (Temp. Sensor Switch) is on drivers side engine block.

Owner's manual. ANSWER On my 1995, the rear wiper knob is in the center stack of the dash , just to the right of the radio. I believe it is the same on 1995 to 2001 4 door Explorers.

The brake light switch is either worn or poorly adjusted. The switch is under the dashboard. The brake pedal mechanism SHOULD cause the switch to trip when you touch the brake pedal. You may need to replace the switch, but the good news is, it's not too difficult, just a couple hand tools. you talking about the tail lites or the dash lite? if its the dash lite your emergency brake might be slightly engaged.

under the dash on the driver side

Either on the rear view mirror, on right by the radio

I have the same problem. I believe the idle air control valve either needs to be cleaned or replaced.

When a car accelerates slowly, it could just be that the car is not warmed up fully. Another reason for slow acceleration is a problem with the transmission. It could be low on fluid or need to have the fluid and the screen changed.

Most likely your wiper blade needs replacing. Before replacing however, you can check to see if the arm moves freely away from the window and if there's good pressure back towards the window. You can also see if the wiper blade moves freely on the wiper arm and that its not binding. If both of these checks seem ok, then its probably just a worn wiper blade.

The fuses on the Rendezvous are located on the side of the center floor console, on the PASSENGER side!!

Improvement on whomever wrote the answer above.

There are two places for fuses. The smaller fuse panel that most problems will be solved at are as stated above. However, there is another fuse panel under the hood. Consult your user manual to find the location of both fuse panels and a diagram on which fuse is part of which circuit. Without the diagram, you would have a very hard time finding what fuse you are looking for.

The correct way GM lists in their service manual is to take off the engine dog bones, attach a pulling strap to the engine and hoist and roll it until you gain access. That is the same procedure for many SUV/Van GM front wheel drives.

I suspect it is because the pedal return is weak. My Park Avenue does the same thing. I can lift the pedal with very little pressure from my toe and the indicator goes off.

Clean battery terminals, then tighten down the battery cables.

With the ignition key---like any other time.
