How do you remove the rotor from a 1986 Prelude?
I think you're talking about the brake rotor...right? If so, it's probably only seized on the hub by rust...typical for some FWD's. Get a good hammer and beat on the back of the rotorin various spots until it comes off. WD 40 on the hub or any type of oil will help.
What is the meaning of resistor?
Resistors are one of the three basic electronic components. They restrict the flow of current in an electrical circuit. Fixed resistors have a fixed value of resistance, and are used in almost every electronic circuit for lots of different reasons.
Resistance:
Electrical resistance describes how an electrical conductor (a wire) opposes the flow of an electrical current (flow of electrons). To overcome this opposition a voltage (a energy) must dropped (used) across the conductor (wire). Resistance can be described by ohms law:
Ohms Law: R = V / I (Resistance = Voltage / Current) (resistance measured in ohms)
where:
Voltage [V]= the energy lost across an component (voltage measured in volts).
Current [I] = the charge (electrons) flowing through an component (current measured in Amps).
Electrical resistance can be thought of as sticking your hand out a car window. The faster [current] you drive the harder the wind presses [resistance] against you hand and therefore it takes more energy [voltage] to hold your hand steady.
When trying to overcome electrical resistance, the electrical energy lost is turned into heat. This is how the elements of a household stove, toaster, and fan heater work. Because of the vacuum in a light bulb, the electrical energy lost is instead turned into light. It can be seen the electrical resistance plays a large role in modern life.
Resistor:
The resistor is the most common electronic component and is used to limit and/or control the voltage and current in an electronic circuit. Resistors are carefully manufactured to provide a predetermined value of electrical resistance which may range from 0.1 ohms to 100,000,000 ohms, depending on the application. The physical size of a resistor also varies dependant on the amount of power passing through the resistor, given by:
P = V x I (Power = Voltage x Current) (power measured in watts)
There are also many types of resistors including:
· Variable Resistor - changes resistance when its shaft is rotated (volume knob on a stereo).
· Thermistor - changes resistance when the temperature changes (used in a thermostat).
· Light Dependant Resistor (LDR) - changes resistance when the lighting changes (used in children's night-lights).
Resistor Example:
An LED is a small red light (such as the one on the front of most TVs) and requires 2.0 volts and 0.02 amps to operate correctly. If we connected that LED up directly to a 12 volt battery, the voltage would be too high, and too much current would flow... the LED would blow up. We need to use a resistor to limit the voltage and current.
But which value of resistance should the have resistor? Uses ohms law:
R = V / I = (12.0 - 2.0) / 0.02 = 500 ohms
(Note: the voltage across the resistor is the battery voltage minus the voltage we want across the LED)
But which value of power should the resistor be capable of handling?
P = V x I = (12.0 - 2.0) / 0.02 = 0.2 Watts
ANSWER: HOW ELSE WE BE ABLE TO AMPLIFY A SIGNAL that is the answer.
How do you replace the fuel pump on a 1977 Cadillac Sedan DeVille?
The fuel pump will be located on the left front side of the engine, right behind the harmonic balancer. The power steering assembly will have to be removed to gain access to the pump. It will have three lines going to it, and two bolts holding it on.
Where is the voltage regulator on a 97 Cadillac deville?
The voltage regulator on your 1997 Cadillac Deville, is located on the top of the alternator. Some aftermarket alternators have the voltage regulator, on the back of the alternator.
Why did i replace the top radiator hose filled with antifreeze and the engine still smokes?
Because there is antifreeze int he system and it takes a while to burn through.
Also replace the bottom hose too. <> If it smokes from under the hood, It has antifreeze on the engine exterior, You can wash it off. Or just drive it and it will burn off. If it smokes from the exhaust, There is engine damage.
How do you get a new AC compressor started on a 1987 Pontiac 6000 since it is low on freon?
You can get a retro-kit at Wal-Mart or local parts store with complete instructions. You can jusmp out pressure switch at accumulator with paper clip to start compressor during refill procedure
hey if you do not have freon in the system you have to go to an auto repair shop that does a/c work and have the system vacuumed down to 3in hg.then you can add freon this cant be done by you unless you have an a/c vacuum pump and the proper connection hoses and gauges. don`t know if you`ve had the car retrofitted to except r134 instead of the r112 that year came with, because if you hav`nt you ca`t buy r112 without an license. but all you have to do is go to auto zone or pep boys and buy a refit kit for about 40 bucks. change the nozzles yourself add in the oil and then go to your a/c shop and let them pull a vacuum on your system then add the freon from the kit and hope you don`t have a leak somewhere hope this was able to help you out
Where is the thermostat located on a 2000 Cadillac Seville sls?
Looking from the front down on the right hand side you have to remove the air filter box to access it. There is a hose that goes into a metal housing that splits the water flow in 2 directions. Remove the 2 bolts that hold the thermostat in the housing and pull back on the hose. Make sure to match your old one with the new one before you install it.

How do you access and jump start a battery in a cadialac 2003?
Yes. Positive (red) terminal is on fuse box under hood. Small tab located directly behind power steering pulley on top. Or just ground to the body. Also, the battery is under the back seat
What is the value of a 1980 Cadillac DeVille?
Google Kelly Blue Book and enter in the information such as condition and mileage, it's your best bet for an estimate
How do you remove the rotor of a 1991 Sunbird?
The wheel comes off first then the caliper then the rotor just slips off. GoodluckJoe
How do you pull up codes for a 1990 cadillac sedan deville?
Witth the ign on, push the OFF and WARM buttons in together , hold, then release and read the codes hold down the OFF and WARM buttons of the a/c panel with ign on, release buttons after double 8's are seen , then read codes.
How do you replace the water pump and where is it located on a 1998 Plymouth Neon 2.0L dohc?
The water pump is timing belt driven. You should buy or borrow a service manual, as this is a very intensive repair.
How do you reset or disable the factory alarm on a 1993 Isuzu Trooper?
this all applies to my 95 Trooper but according to your references, it applies to a 93 also. I know what WON'T WORK. Pulling the fuse in the left bulkhead will not do it. Glueing the console alarm switch to off will not work. Removing all the wires to this switch will not work. I could find no reference to the anti-theft system in the under hood fuse block. My dome lights arent working--probably the bulbs are burned out. Would replacing them be a good idea to get a test indication? I have an almost new battery. Apparently the alarm sounding draws it down quickly as I could not get the starter to engage without a jump this morning. Even though I got it started, I dare not drive it for fear it will happen in a remote spot.
How do you troubleshoot an ABS light on a 1997 Cadillac Deville?
This is a start but beyond this get your wallet out. The ABS and Traction Control are an integrated unit, ie: either could be at fault. First place to look is the wheel sensors, take one wheel off at a time and in behind on the back side of the hub assembly you will see an electrical connector with two wires going into it. Unsnap the connector and measure the resistance across the (wheel side) of the plug with your digital meter - set meter to ohms - mine were about 1.110 to 1.052 on the 2K ohms scale. What the actual reading should be I dont know but you can get a good idea if one is bad by comparing the measurements from all four wheels. Obviously a reading on one well above or below the others is a good indication of a bad sensor. The other check to do on each sensor is to check that the sensor is outputting. Connect your leads across the (wheel side) of the plug again and set your meter to AC volts on the lowest scale. Now put your wheel back on with a couple of nuts hand tight and spin the wheel while watching the meter. Mine showed about 0.40 volts turning as fast as I could - the voltage will vary the faster you turn. If you have no AC volts on one then take the brake caliper off and the rotor and inspect / clean the sensor and pulse mechanism from the inside & try again. Next - *switch on your ignition* & connect your meter across the (CAR SIDE) of the plug and switch to DC volts on say the 20 volt range - the reading on mine was about 4.7 volts and varied about 0.2 between all readings. (DO NOT SHORT OUT THESE BY ACCIDENT - GO SLOW USE EXTREME CARE) Again I do not know the actual spec but a reading on one greatly different from the others is a good indicator that something is wrong with the ABS module itself or the wiring leading back to it. Follow each line and check all plugs found. On the rear wheels the right and left sensors converge into a four wire plug fastned to a cross member about mid point. You can actually do all your checks here for the rear wheels without taking the wheels off if you want. The front is impossible to follow any distance.
Note that the plugs Cadilac uses for this system is absolutely pathetic considering the extreme harshness of the environment being right at the wheels and inches from the ground. Stones sticks or ice could rip them right off the car and they are watertight plugs not waterproof. WHAT A CRUEL JOKE! GM Engineers are morons. Instal an expensive safety system to insure it will never work when you need it most - wet & snowing. In any case this is as far as I got, all my readings were similar and therefore my problem is (not likely) to be a sensor. I'll add to this as I (learn more) & work back toward the actual system.
No it is not necessary to remove the axle nut in order to remove the front caliper. Once you remove the caliper the rotor should come off.
Blinking oil light 96 deville?
you need do take the oil pressure switch off . install a manual oil pressure gage . then check oil pressure , cold and hot , cold will be higher / 30-40psi . hot at idle shouldbe around 8-12 psi or so. , if that checks out ok , you might just need a new oil pressure switch(it shoul be beside the oil filter . on the housing . if lower , your oil pump oe engine is worn out. time for a rebuild . hope this helps.
Where is the starter motor relay on a ford 92 aerostar?
It is behind the battery on the drivers side inner fender. It has a heavy red wire that you can follow to the positive side of the battery. (There are some other wires also so if you replace the starter relay, mark your wires so as not to mix them up.) Hopefully this will help.
Where can I find Wiring diagrams cadillac escalade v-8?
