Buick Rendezvous

what is a etc sensor for a buick rendevous

It is number 32 in the under the hood fuse box. It takes a number 15 fuse.

If the motors for the dials are out, the best bet is to take this in to a firm that rebuilds speedometers. If it's the lights, you'll have to decide if you want to go through the hassle of pulling the needles off the cluster to access them and they're soldered in. I did with my '04 Vous and I got 12 12V lights from radio shack for $20 and did it in an afternoon.

If it's a cracked head, the engine will need a new head. If it's a cracked block, you'll need a new engine. But it would be a good idea to take it to a reputable mechanic for a second opinion. Don't tell them what you think is wrong, just ask why it's leaking. Remember that when a dealership mechanic gets to have a good reputation, he'll often start his own shop. The best ones leave the dealership. The dealership is not necessarily the best place to take your vehicle.

I think all you have to do is either look for a screw on the door any where but I think its on the bottem and unscrew it or it may pull off Im not sure excatly. If there are no screws on the door pannel try to pull it off but You have to have a certain tool to pull it off as I recall

There are a few screws, one is behind the red reflector on the door, then one where the door pull is, then the screw by the door handle, and i think that's it. then you carefully pull the door panel away from the door and then up to unhook it from the window channel and also pull the tweeter housing away as well. they use those lil metal clips that don't like to pull out easy and you can mess up the door panel if you arent careful.

May be located in the head nearest the firewall on the driver's side. That's where it is on my 95 3100.

REMOVAL - 1500/2500 FRONT

Raise and support the vehicle.

Remove the wheel and tire assembly.

Remove the caliper from the steering knuckle, (Refer to 5 - BRAKES/HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL/DISC BRAKE CALIPERS - REMOVAL) and remove caliper adapter assembly (Caliper Adapter Assembly).

NOTE: Do not allow brake hose to support caliper adapter assembly.

Remove the cotter pin from the axle nut. Remove the axel nut.

Remove the 4 hub/bearing studs found on the inside of the sterring nuckle. Loosen the clamps holding the anti-lock cable.

Tap on the axle to release the splines from the axle to the hub.

Carefully remove the rotor from the axle and steering nuckle taking care not to stress the antilock cable.

. Just to add to the removal of the rotor and bearing assy. Snap-on makes a socket like tool that goes between 1 of the 4 inner hub/bearing bolts and uses the power steering of the truck to loosen the hub assy. Cost around $30 bucks, but well worth it if your hub assy is seized or stubborn.

To see the number of the fuses you can either consult your manual or it's posted inside the cover when you open the fuse boxes.

The BCM for an XG Falcon is located under the dash. It is mounted just to the left of the hand brake, and should be easy to change.

This is a broad question im sure the directions are different depending on where the fuel lines are that need replacement are routed

* J 41820 is a C clamp type device used to separate ball joints/studs, it uses the action of undoing the nut to force separate the joint as you loosen the nut. you can also just use a splitter fork. ...I do. hope this helps.

Reverse procedure to install, ensure you use cotter pins in the castle nuts when you install, do not loosen nuts to line up pins with holes tighten further if necessary ....Take your time pay attention to what you are doing and you can accomplish this job easily...good luck....kickstar.

unbolt the top motor mounts. throw a strap over the back of the engine. put the strap onto something else so you can pull the engine forward. then its just a matter of laying over the engine and reaching back there.

i have an 02 impala and i recently found out my bcm is bad. I found out that this is located on the left hand side of the steering column.... it should be the same in the 01 since the parts can be swapped in both cars. i hope this helps

Ebay or you can download it from http://www.extendedgmwarranty.com/owners-manual/buick_owner_manuals.html

Written under the hood on a placard and in your owner's manual.

well first inside the vehicle in the back, ours is in the back inside the black plastic storage area. There is a bolt that when turned lets the tire down this has to be turned. It lowers the tire outside under the buick.

Yes

no. i changed mine and it worked rite away

it should be fuse #19 (green 30amp fuse) in the fuse box located under the dash board on the driver side.

It is located in the fuse box of the car. It is normally labeled accessory or cig, on the diagram in the owners manual.

Each row has 15 seats, so that total is 600. If every row after the first has 6 more seats than the one before it, you can then add (1+2+3+4+....+39) and multiple by 6. Add this to 600 and that will be the total.

If all the other windows operate it's not a fuse. Try taking the door panel off and tap the window motor with a small hammer. If the motor starts working it's the motor. If the motor still doesn't work it's probably a bum switch.

I don't test for water in my fuel tank. I put in a bottle of dry gas and it's good to go. If you think someone may have purposely dumped water down your fill neck, you're going to have to syphon it back out and refill with fresh fuel. Don't forget to add some dry gas.

Check the motor for the wipers.
