Chevy Cavalier

you can check by a sight glass tube on the side of the transaxle, it is a sealed transmission! remember if you have more than 100,000 miles on it don't flush the transmission!!!

Inside the trunk, pull the carpeting away from the tail light area and that should expose the wiring harness with all the light sockets. Just squeeze the tabs ant twist the sockets aproximately 1/3rd of a turn counter-clockwise. This will expose the bulbs.

eventually, but it will take much longer for the engine to heat up, thus taking much longer to get heat inside of the car.

car wont run if the belt is broken ! Run a compression test.

On the dashboard section, behind the glovebox compartment.

No, there were not any recalls for the 2004 Chevy Cavalier. Though many people have reported problems with the dashboard lights going out.

• Detach the negative battery cable then the positive battery cable
• If car is equipped with Delco Loc 2 or Theftlock audio system make sure you have the activation code first before disconnecting the battery cables
• Detach any brackets or braces that would interfere with the removal of the battery then remove the hold-down clamp from the battery carrier
• Carefully lift the battery out

To replace the Cavaliers water pump, drain the radiator. Remove the pumps drive belt. Unbolt the pump and take it off ( you might have to take the fan and shroud off to get to the pump.) Install the new pump and put the belt back on. Refill the radiator with antifreeze.

Whay type of model do you have?

300E

32 mm socket!

I'm trying to get an answer!

Yes, they will. I have a set of 4 on my 97' Chevy 2 door and they fit the rims fine. The tires also fall within a 3% diameter of each other and shouldn't effect the brakes and will be a safe tire change. If you're going from the manufactures tire (195/70/14) to 195/75/14 the only major difference you will notice is a 3-4% difference (a slower difference) in the way your speedometer reads speed. This isn't much, but keep in mind, if you're speedometer reads 65-70, you're probably actually going 67-72ish. Aside from that minor difference, the tires feel and function just like the specified manufactures tires did for me. Follow the PSI ratings on the tire, as apposed to the ones on the door, as those are for the original tires. Hope that helps ya some :D

Remove the instrument panel cover. Take hold of the dash light lightbulb. Push the lightbulb in and turn at the same time. The lightbulb will come out. Reverse the process to install the new dashboard lights.

I had a problem where the end of my key 'fell off' inside the ignition. I'm not sure how this happened, but it did and the ignition was rendered useless. As far as I know, you cannot actually change the cylinder inside the ignition. I settled for removing the entire unit. The rivets you mentioned are not actually rivets, but bolts without the hex head, presumably that way for theft prevention. If you're desperate you can take a dremel tool with a cutting wheel and either make a slice on one of the bolt heads so that you can use a screwdriver to remove it, or cut the strap holding it to the steering column - it's probably an easy replacement.

depends if it is standard transmission it is located on the left side of the transaxle.

you jump start it and drive it around for 20 minutes and the altinator should charge it

The purge valve solenoid on your 2001 Chevy Cavalier is located on the side of the engine. It is mounted on the block right below the intake manifold and can be distinguished because of the bracket attached to it.

Hopefully it was just a fuseable link. I did the same thing on a Kubota. I got a wiring diagram and found the location of the fueseable link and replaced it. Life was good after that.

How do you replace a turn signal bulb in a 1998 cavalier

Remove the wheel, remove the two caliper bolts and hang the caliper with a wire or bungee cord: you don't want any pressure on the brake hose. Then remove the two caliper carrier bolts and remove the carrier. The rotor just slides off after that.

If a 1997 Cavalier is the same:

(I don't know how to technically drain the coolant system, as my car was doing that on its own...but do that first)

FIRST, remove the serpentine belt (note its existing route): Locate the idler pully...it's near the top of the engine in between the alternator and the power steering pully. Using a socket wrench (15mm) (hard to fit in there..I used a small breaker bar) or box wrench on the nut in the center of the pully, turn the pully clockwise. This will release the tension on the belt enough to remove it from the alternator. Be careful letting the idler pully go back as it will go much farther back than where it was without the belt on it. Now move the belt out of your way.

SECOND, remove the three bolts that connect the pully onto the water pump. I believe these were 13mm. Again, sockets are hard to fit in there. Remove the pully. This will give you better access to remove the next four bolts (I learned this the hard way). Now, remove the four bolts that hold the water pump on. They're all fairly easy to get to, except one...farthest down, but you should be able to do it. Wiggle the pump out and remove. More coolant will come out.

THIRD, and this is probably one of the most important things, remove the old gasket. After all, a new gasket or pump won't be too good if the gasket can seat well. Mine had 160,000 miles of time to bake itself on there (not fun). I found swearing did not help, but a screwdriver, file, sandpaper, etc will. Clean up the area and all the junk you don't want inside your coolant system.

FOURTH, put on new gasket or new pump and gasket....pump was only about $20, so why not change the whole thing while you're there.

I don't have the torque specs or know the proper way to refill the coolant system, but the above got my car working. Good luck!

If it is a manual transmission, it has none. If it is Auto, look around some more and you will find it. Clue, Owner's manual! if you have the 2.4L T engine it does not have a dip stick

Reverse the process to install the newYou will need to remove the covers from your 2003 Chevy Cavalier rear speakers. The covers are held in place with two retaining screws. Remove the speaker retaining screws. Remove the wiring harness from the back of the speakers.

the pinch welds are the best place to life the car
