How can you disable the immobilizer system on a Rover 400?
Asked by Wiki User
you can't. simple as that. but if i'm taking you up right and you are genuinely having problems with the immobiliser then i'd reccommend you use a second and last higher digit to sort the problem out for good. just say your code is 3545 don't enter it, but instead enter 3646 and you should here a click from the drivers side engine. thats it. it worked for me and i never had a problem since. by the way if you don't know the original keycode then you won't be able to up the second and last digit accordingly so will not work. hope this helps.
How do you change a 2003 Buick rendezvous headlight?
Asked by Wiki User
Several things to remember: 1) The entire housing is plastic, and easy to break; 2) DON'T pull the tab all the way up (see manual), and 3) there is ALSO a snap-in-place post-and-socket holding the assembly in place that's completely hidden, and is EASILY BROKEN. Don't twist the housing too much.
its located in the woners manual but you remove a wing nut on the fender pull the wite slider on the back of the headlight and pull it out takes less than 3 min

2004 buick rendezvous
* No way to remove the assembly without breaking at least one plastic mount on each assembly. Once you do that you can change the bulbs and secure the assembly with the white tabs and the wing nut screws. I did call the dealer service center to ask how to remove it. My best guess is they would have to break them out as well and replace the bulbs.
Buick Rendezvous ABS lights traction off lights and service abs system all come on at the same time?
Asked by Wiki User
sounds like a wheel speed sensor has gone out you will need ot replace the wheel bearing.
Where is the instrument panel fuse on a 2006 Buick Rendezvous?
Asked by Wiki User
Dont think this question is detailed enough what is wrong with it? what do you mean panel? the cluster? what is not working
How do you remove the instrument cluster on a 2002 Xterra?
Asked by Wiki User
1. Take 3 screws off the wheel shaft cover
2. Take 2 screws off the lower dashboard cover (underneath your wheel/top of your knee). There are 1 on each side next to the hood puller.
3. Lower the wheel to the lowest possible
4. Start pulling the cluster cover from the top left all the way to the right (all on the top)
5. Carefully pull the left side right next/below the AC ventilation
All of the cover use metal/plastic clip except those 5 screws.
If you got hard time removing the cover, use flat screwdriver to pry it (use cloth to cover the tip to avoid scratch)
Good luck

Can a dealer program a used bcm?
Asked by Wiki User
According to my buddy who is a ase certified mechanic yes they can, but most of the time they will tell you that they cannot due to the fact they would rather make the markup on a new module and the installation, hope this answers your question.
How do you reset the 'low tire pressure' warning light on a 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix?
Asked by Wiki User
It is done with the radio controls. Read your owner's manual. My 97 has a yellow button under the dash to the right of the steering column. Press it immediately AFTER you have inflated your tires evenly. Don't know about radio control options.
How do you change a 2006 buick rendezvous cabin air filter?
Asked by Wiki User
I own an 04 and the filter is located behind the glove compartment- just open it up and it should be in the back there- just pull it out.
How do you change rear springs on a 2001 Taurus?
Asked by Wiki User
It's easier than it seems. First, disconnect the brake lines at the caliper or wheel cylinder on both sides. Then loosen the pinch bolts on both sides that tighten the hub assembly onto the bottom of the struts. Using a pry bar, stand on the bar and remove the hub assembly from the strut on both sides. Locate the top of the struts on either side inside the car under the window. You wil have to remove the upholstery that is directly below the window to locate the top of the strut. Remove the three nuts attaching the top of the strut to the body of the car. Once removing these, the strut will just fall away. Go back outside and guide the strut out of the wheel well.
Once out of the car, you will have to remove the spring from the strut using a spring compressor. Since the springs are bad, probably the struts are bad also so the best idea is to buy "quickstruts" at your local auto parts store. These are a strut and spring combination ready to bolt into your car directly. It really is alot easier. Assembly is the reverse of removal. If the struts were recently changed, then use the spring compressor to shorten the length of the springs until they are loose in the struts, then remove the strut mount, but only when there is NO pressure from the spring on it or serious injury WILL result. Once you get the strut mounts removed from the struts, just take the the springs and the mounts and simply transfer them to the new struts and reassemble making SURE that the strut mounts are totally tight on the top of the strut shaft. Loosen the spring compressor until the springs are tight in the struts and you can safely remove the compressor. Then just remount this assembly into the car. Assembly is the reverse of removal. Good luck.
What is the fuse number for the front power outlet on a 2002 Ford Explorer center console?
Asked by Wiki User
There are 3 separate 20 amp fuses for the 3 powerpoints . All 3 fuses are in the power distribution box in the engine compartment. They are in locations # 7, # 9, and # 35 for the rear powerpoint. They are all maxi cartridge fuses. Sorry, I don't know if it is # 7 or # 9 DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE - THE PD BOX IS " LIVE "
Where are the child seat anchors on buick rendezvous?
Asked by Wiki User
The anchors of a Rendezvous are not well marked, they are marked by grey dots
on the back seat. There are two sets on each side of the back seat. To anchor
your third strap (top part of the seat), there is an anchor behind the seat on
each side (not marked at all). You also will have a third headset anchor' at
the very back. This one is marked with an icon of a boat anchor.
Where is the onstar fuse located on a 2007 Buick Rendezvous?
Asked by Wiki User
It's Fuse 32 in the Fuse box that is in the engine area. The inside of the fuse box should show you a diagram so you can see which one it actually is.
Is the bcm located in the center console in a 99 sunfire?
Asked by Wiki User
The bcm for a 99 Sunfire should be under the dash. It is on the drivers side near the kick panel.

ughh i have the same problem. you need to fix the windshield wiper motor
You just drove through water and now your car is making a rattling noise like there is a loose bolt?
Asked by Wiki User
It is a heat shield on your exhaust pipe or muffler. The hot pipe when splashed by cold water cause the metal to expand and contract so quickly the weld cracked off and the heat shield now rattles It is a heat shield on your exhaust pipe or muffler.

What is the distributor in the ignition system?
Asked by MYMIMI75
The distributor in the ignition system of an internal combustion engine is a device which routes the high voltage in the correct firing order to the spark plugs.
It consists of a rotating arm or rotor inside the distributor cap, on top of the distributor shaft, but insulated from it and the body of the vehicle ("earth"). The metal part of the rotor contacts the central high voltage cable from the coil via a spring loaded carbon brush. The metal part of the rotor arm passes close to (but does not touch) the output contacts which connect via high tension cables to the spark plug of each cylinder. As the rotor spins within the distributor, electrical current is able to jump the small gaps created between the rotor arm and the contacts due to the high voltage created by the ignition coil.
The distributor shaft has a cam that operates the contact breaker. Opening the points causes a high induction voltage in the system's ignition coil.
The distributor also houses the centrifugal advance unit: a set of hinged weights attached to the distributor shaft, that cause the breaker points mounting plate to slightly rotate and advance the spark timing with higher engine rpm. In addition, the distributor has a vacuum advance unit that advances the timing even further as a function of the vacuum in the inlet manifold. Usually there is also a capacitor attached to the distributor. The capacitor is connected parallel to the breaker points, to suppress sparking and prevent wear of the points.
Around the 1970s the primary breaker points were largely replaced with Hall effect sensors. As this is a non-contacting device and the primary circuit is controlled by solid state electronics, a great amount of maintenance in point adjustment and replacement was eliminated. This also eliminates any problem with breaker follower or cam wear, and by eliminating a side load extends distributor shaft bearing life. The remaining secondary (high voltage) circuit was as described above, using a single coil and a rotary distributor.
Distributor capsThese are used in automobile engine to cover the distributor and its internal rotor. The rotor switches a high sparking voltage to the spark plugs so that these fire in correct sequence.The distributor cap is a prime example of a component that eventually succumbs to heat and vibration. But even if its bakelite housing has not broken or cracked, carbon deposits and eroded metal terminals can cause distributor-cap failure. However it is a fairly easy and inexpensive part to replace.
The distributor cap has one post for each cylinder and in points ignition systems there is a central post for the coil voltage coming into the distributor. In HEI (High Energy Ignition) systems where there is not a central post, the ignition coil sits on top of the distributor. On the inside of the cap there is a terminal that corresponds to each post and the plug terminals are arranged around the circumference of the cap according to the firing order in order to send the secondary voltage to the proper spark plug at the right time.
The "rotor" head is attached to the top of the distributor shaft which is driven by a gear on the engine's camshaft and thus synchronized to it. This rotor is pressed against a carbon brush on the center terminal of the distributor cap which connects to the ignition coil either through the top and wired directly to the coil in HEI systems; or via the center terminal in points ignition systems and remotely connected to the coil. The rotor is constructed such that the center tab is electrically connected to its outer edge so the voltage coming in to the center post will travel through the carbon point to the outer edge of the rotor. As the camshaft rotates, the rotor spins and its outer edge passes each of the internal plug terminals to fire each spark plug.
Direct ignitionModern engine designs are tending to do away with the distributor and coil, instead performing the distribution function in the primary circuit electronically and applying the primary (low-voltage) pulse to individual coils on top of each spark plug (Direct Ignition or coil-on-plug). This avoids the need to switch very high voltages, which is very often a source of trouble, especially in damp conditions. AnswerThe distributor is the part that takes the voltage from the coil and turn it into a pulsed spark sending it out to the cylinders in sequential order. It is the part on the car that has all the spark plug wires coming out of it. AnswerIt is a rotory switch that connects the high-voltage ouput of the ignition coil to the correct spark plug according to the firing order. It is typically driven by a gear on the camshaft so that it rotates at half engine speed.Most modern engines do not have distributors, instead they have a separate ignition coil for each spark plug.
