Where is the fuse Box for a 1990 Chevy Corsica?
side of the dash under a panel as you open the drivers door
How do I reset the low coolant sensor in a 1996 six cylinder Corsica?
Try disconnecting the neg side of the battery to reset the computer. If this does not work you probably have a bad low coolant sensor which is located just aft of the thermostat housing. you can pick one of those up at any auto parts store for under 20 dollars
First of all, make very sure you keep enough antifreeze in your resovior when driving, or you could do serious and potentially irrepairable damage to your engine.
Some things to check are
Your water pump could be leaking through the weep hole on the bottom side- this means the bearings are worn out, and you need to replace your water pump. No sweat if this is it, you can be back in buisness for about 40 bucks if you install it yourself.
Check all of your radiator hoses to see if they are cracked or split. Also check the clamps at the ends of the hoses to make sure those aren't leaking. Don't forget the two hoses up near the firewall that go to your heater core.
Your radiator has a small valve on the bottom to drain the antifreeze out, check to see if it somehow got paritally opened.
Your radiator could be cracked and leaking
Check your plastic resovoir to see if somehow it got cracked or is leaking
Your radiator cap could be loose or leaking (or missing)
You could have a blown head gasket (but if you aren't getting massive amounts of white smoke when it's running, I doubt this is it)
I guess you could have a cracked engine block, but this is very severe, and I doubt it would happen. (assuming you don't have a habit of taking your corsica to the drag strip) :)
If all else fails, put on some old clothes, and lay under your car with a flashlight and look for where it is dripping from. Then follow the wet back to the source of the problem. This is messy and uncomfortable, but unfortunately is sometimes the only option. If you have to do this, keep in mind that the antifreeze splashes around under your hood, so it can be very difficult to find the leak.
90 corsica engine radiator fan wouldn't work?
Unplug fan connector, run wires from battery to fan connector, test run fan, if fan works then it's fine/if not the replace the fan. Next make sure everything is connected then start vehicle turn on A.C., in a few mins the fan should start automaticly. A.C bypasses the coolant temp switch. Next test temp switch. If none of the above helps log onto alldatadiy.com, subscribe to your vehicle and look up the whole system and trouble shoot
How do you change a front drivers side turn signal on a 1991 Chevy Corsica?
Remove the wiring harness from the back of your 1991 Chevy Corsica turn signal. Remove the turn signal retaining bolts. The entire turn signal will come out. Reverse the process to install the new turn signal.
How do you replace the blower motor in a 1992 Chevy Corsica?
Generally, getting access from under the hood ,you remove the 6 screws holding the motor in place, then remove the ground and hot wire and finally the vent tube. Reverse procedure.
Borrow, rent or buy a GM code scanner and see if there are any stored codes in the computer. It could also be something simple like a map sensor or temperature sensor that is out of calibration. If the computer is being told that the engine is warm, it won't send extra fuel during startup. Also, check the compression and ignition. A weak spark will make it difficult to start when cold. Low compression is a serious problem and there isn't much you can do for it except rebuild or replace the engine. Good luck.

Where is the power steering pump in a 1992 Chevy Corsica?
Passenger side top of engine, in front of the alternator.
How do you change the belt tensioner on a 96 Corsica?
I don't know if your 96 is the same as mine, but I just did this job on a 95 Corsica with 3.1 V6. On mine, I had to lower the engine to get at the bolt holding the tensioner on the engine.
Required tools:
- Hydraulic Service Jack (3-ton minimum recommended)
- 2 jack stands
- 2 tire chocks
- wrench or bar capable of releiving pressure on belt tensioner
(I used 15mm open ended wrench)
- 2'long 2x4
- 6"x10"x3/4" piece of plywood.
- standard metric socket/wratchet set for small fender bolts (<8mm)
all the way up to 15 mmm engine mounting bolts.
1. Set rear brake and chock rear tires
2. Loosen lug nuts on passenger side front tire.
3. Lift and support front of car on jack stands. I recommend placing them beneath front tires, under the jack notches, at the lowest heights.
4. Remove tire and mud guard(s) to expose the lower pulley assembly. You should be able to see the front crank shaft pulley wheel with the tensioner assembly located to the left.
5. Loosen the serpentine belt and slip it off of the alternator. Leave the belt on the car unless it absolutely needs replacement (A separate job that possibly requires removing a different set of bolts and mounts than what is described in step 9).
6. Use hydraulic service jack with sufficient lift (despite the fact that the car is already on jacks) and support to reach the oil pan, raise the engine 1-2 inches, and, most importantly, support the engine while you lower it in step 10. I used a $70 3-ton service jack from Wal-Mart. Anything lighter and cheaper probably won't work.
7. Place plywood between the jack head and the oil pan and raise the engine 1-2 inches in order to relieve pressure of engine mounting bolts.
8. Wedge a wood 2x4 (approx. 2' long) behind the alternater. This will allow better access to the tensioner bolt by keeping the engine from rolling towards the firewall during step 10, and it can be used as a pry bar to help realine the these bolt holes during reassembly.
9. Remove the three 15 mm bolts from the engine mounting bracket closest to the pulley assembly. On mine car there were two in back and one in front.
10. Slowly unscrew service jack handle and watch the passenger side of the engine lower. Let it down very slowley until you can see/get to the tensioner bolt. Retighten the jack handle. If you are not going to block the engine at this heigth and will only rely upon the jack to hold the engine while you replace the tensioner, DO NOT GET UNDER THE ENGINE FOR ANY REASON (you should not need to anyway).
11. You should now be able to see the tensioner bolt. I used standard socket with ratchet and 4" extender. If angle is extreme, you might need to use a swivle. Also, you might also need to unclip the coolant hose from its fender brackets and lower it or pull it back to improve access the the bolt.
12. Remove and replace tensioner.
13. Reroute serpentine belt around the tensioner and all other other pulleys except for the alternator.
14. Do reverse of steps 10 - 1. JOB COMPLETE.
Dented oil pan in 93 Chevy Corsica?
if you have no leaks it is not a big deal to have a dent. if the dent is huge it may cause inacurate readings on your dipstick, you could remove the pan and place it on a flat surface and work the dent out slowly but this could weaken the metal for the pan.
My turn signals on my car won't blink on my dashboard?
If turn signals are not blinking on the dashboard but they are still working, the cause might be a burned out bulb in one of the blinkers on the outside of the car. There might also be a fuse burned out or bulbs burned out in the dash. Even the flasher can be the problem in this situation.
Why does your 1993 Corsica die when stopping?
Selnoid has gone out in the transmission not allowing it to downshift to first when slowing down then stopping.
Where is the ecu or ecm located on the 1994 Chevy Corsica?
The ecu or ecm is located on the passenger side, behind the kick panel, if not there, remove the bottom cover on that side and look up, it has three plugs connected to it and is usually bolted or cliped on to a bracket. you may have to remove the glove box to gain access.
Where do you hook up the connector to charge the freon for the AC unit on a 1996 Chevy Corsica?
6 Cyl - Under the Air Filter Assembly 4 Cyl - Looking at the engine, it is located on the left side behind the engine. Be aware that this location may require your hands/arms to be dangerously close to the belt pulleys when hooking up. It is a good idea to hook up connection with engine off, then start engine and charge A/C. When charge is complete, turn off engine then disconnect. Safety First! Good luck, I hope this info helps!
What would cause a 95 Chevy corsica to act like it is stalling when you hit the gas to accerlate?
could be the catalytic converter or it might need a new transmission.
Do you have to remove the steering wheel to change the heater core on a 1991 Chevy Corsica?
no
By L024308 10-7-2008
I just changed one. I took the lower part of the dash loose. To take the lower part of the dash loose remove 2 nuts on the outside corners of dash and remove a screw in each of the 2 brackets toward the center of the dash. There were 2 bolts that hold the steering wheel to the dash. I removed these bolts and let the steering wheel drop down about an inch so I could pull the dash out a couple inches to get to 2 clips on the rear seat diverter cover (first plastic cover to get to the heater core).
See "How do I change the heater core on a 91 Corsica?"
Most likely you have a vacume leak under the dash.Check for lines off or broken.They will harden and crack with excessive heat,such as in the engine compartment.
Most likely there's a leak at the bottom driver-side of the windshield. After the mat dries out, close the windows and concentrate a strong stream of water from a hose, starting with that area. If you see no leak, go on around the windshield a little bit at a time. Water can run from anywhere and drip down behind the cowl. I had the same problem. Two fixes. 1. Leak in the heater core or core in/out flex connectors. (replace it) 2. Blockage in A/C evaporator/condenser drain. (overflows into driver footwell. I had this problem with my 93 Corsica. A buddy with a 91 Beretta showed me it was the same problem that he had. There was a crack in the gutter where it is welded to the firewall as well as dried up sealant between the firewall and wheel well in the engine compartment. Try pulling up the carpet and underlay, in my case the water had come in and was running down the firewall behind the brake pedal but under the underlay. Here is a link to some photos of my drivers side leak: http://www.forthopetradingpost.com/corsica.html Good Luck!
How many quarts of transmission fluid fills a 1990 Chevrolet Corsica transmission?

How do you remove the driver side airbag on a 1995 Corsica?
Warning: Before attempting this repair, be sure to disconnect the battery cables. There still may be residual current flowing to the module, so never put your head or face in front of the bag while working on it. Perform this job at your own risk, and please exercise extreme caution. It's not a difficult job, but it's probably best left to professionals. With that said:
There are four 10mm screws located on the back of the steering wheel that must be removed to lift out the air bag module. Once you have the module out, remove the green tab from the wire harness attached to the air bag. The green tab just pulls out allowing the clip to be unfastened.
How do you fix service engine light on 96 corsica?
on mine i just changed the o2 sensor located in the front by fan
the first thing you should check is your oxygen sensor. kinda looks like the butt end of a spark plug and screws into the top of your exhuast where it comes off the head. in a corsica its usually found right in front of your fan assembly. this was a problem for the corsica i used to own. not very difficult to change nor is it very expensive but boy what a change it made. .
