How do you take a dash out of a 1964 impala?
Drop the steering column down to get it out of the way. There is a removable panel at the front and just below the steering column. Remove the panel and the bolt that holds the metal band around the column itself. Go down to where the column and the firewll meet and remove the band that holds the column there as well. drop the column but no need to remove it any farther. Then go up to the outside beazel around your gauges and remove all of the serews holding that beazel in. All of these screws are on the front an not behind the dash so don't go crawling up from the bottom. When the beazel is loose slide it foreward slightly and remove the gauge panel from the back of the beazel. There are somepressed nuts you will need to remove to do this. Once done pull beazel out of the way and work on your gauge panel.
Where is the heater control valve locate on a 1996 impala ss?
On most cars it will be attached to one of your two heater hoses which will be next to each other coming off of the firewall in the back of the engine bay. It will be two similar hoses withing a foot of each other and they will both be hot once the car warms up
On the 96 Chevy Impala SS the hot water supplying the heater core circulates all the time. The actual amount of heat is controled by a flap in the heater box. As you increase the heater control knob toward hot, it opens the door a little further allowing more air to move through the heater coil. Lack of heat or a reduced amount of heat has been blamed on the heater core or the water supply system being plugged. The dealer wil suggest back flushing. This has worked for many with the problem.
How do you remove a door panel on a 2000 VW Beetle?
There are three T-25 head screws along the bottom of the inside door panel. Remove them. The face of the inside door handle is removable--just pry it off, probably don't even need a screwdriver to get it off. Underneath, you'll find two #1 Phillips head screws. Remove them. Finally, grasp the door panel from the bottom and pull up. It hangs over a little lip against the window. Watch the door lock, make sure the panel clears that. You should have access to all the wiring harnesses that keep the panel attached

How do you remove the headrest of a 2002 Chevrolet Impala?
There are tabs that are hard to see on side of the round plastic guide that sits on top of the seatback. Both will probably be on the side that faces the passenger window. Depress each of these tabs with a small screwdriver or similar, and work the headrest posts out. It is easiest if they are depressed simultaneously.
The problem you have is the GM heater control unit has lost it's calibration, which can happen from time to time. The way to reset it is, start your car and turn your heater off, and shut off the car, pull out the keys. Then with vehicle off, disconnect the battery, (or batteries if two). Let sit for 10 minuites, then re-connect battery. Get in and start the engine, DON'T touch anything, let the heater control unit re-calibrate for at least 40 seconds, (by the clock), then try turning on the heater. Usually problem over, ! W. Cook Canada
try the above first, its free. If that doesn't work, if you have all speeds on your blower motor, then it sounds like the gears in the drivers blend door actuator are stripped, and the door is stuck about 1/2 way.

Where is the secondary air pump on your 2000 Chevy impala 3.4 engine?
Secondary Air Pumps on 1999 to 2004 Chevrolet Impala 3.8/3.1
Underneath your driver's side front fender (in front of the tire), you will find a black removable panel on the bottom. This panel can be removed or adjusted by removing the three screws attached at the bottom (front) of the fender and two screws inside the wheel well towards the bottom front. With the car jacked up and safetly standing on jack stands, remove the front driver's side tire. You can now fold this black panel back (it has a hinge point for this purpose) and gain access to the secondary air pump.
P0410 diagnostic error codes often require replacement of the secondary air pump.
Further info:
A secondary air injection (AIR) pump is used on these vehicles in order to lower the tail pipe emissions during startup. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) grounds the AIR pump relay control circuit, which energizes the AIR pump. The PCM also grounds the AIR combination valve vacuum control circuit, which energizes the AIR vacuum solenoid valve. Vacuum is then applied to both AIR combination valve diaphragms, which open the shutoff valves. The PCM enables both circuits simultaneously when AIR system operation is desired. When the AIR system is active, the AIR pump forces fresh air into the exhaust stream in order to accelerate catalyst operation. The AIR solenoid valves replace the conventional check valves. When the AIR system is inactive the shutoff valves prevent air flow in either direction. DTC P0412 applies to the AIR vacuum control solenoid circuit. DTC P0418 applies to the AIR pump relay control circuit. DTC P0410 sets if an air flow problem is detected.
The PCM will run up to 3 diagnostic tests using the HO2S1 voltage in order to diagnose the AIR system. The first test is a two-part, passive test. The two parts are the AIR Passive Test 1, and AIR Passive Test 2. The second test is a one-part active test called the AIR Active Test.
The AIR Passive/Active Tests consist of:
AIR Passive Test 1
When the AIR system is enabled, the PCM monitors the HO2S 1 voltage for a specific amount of time calculated by the coolant temperature at startup. The HO2S 1 is monitored for 10 seconds if the coolant temperature is more than 90?C (194?F), or for 70 seconds if the coolant temperature is less than 90?C (194?F).
If the HO2S 1 voltage is less than a calibrated amount, the PCM interprets this as an indication that the AIR System is operational and it is considered a test passed.
When the AIR Passive Test 1 completes, the PCM then runs AIR Passive Test 2.
AIR Passive Test 2
When the AIR System is disabled, the PCM monitors the HO2S 1 voltage. The HO2S 1 voltage should increase above a calibrated amount and switch normally.
When the AIR Passive Test 2 is complete and both AIR passive tests indicate a pass, no further action is taken. If either test fails or is inconclusive, the diagnostic will proceed to the AIR Active Test.
AIR Active Test
During this test the PCM turns the AIR system on during closed loop operation. When the AIR system is activated, the PCM monitors the HO2S voltage. If the AIR system is operating properly, the HO2S 1 voltage should go below a predetermined level.
The PCM will repeat this test up to 3 consecutive times with a short delay between each command.
If the PCM determines that the HO2S 1 voltage did not respond as expected during the tests, DTC P0410 will set.
Conditions for Running the DTC
DTCs P0101, P0102, P0103, P0107, P0108, P0112, P0113, P0117, P0118, P0121, P0122, P0123, P0171, P0172, P0300, P0412, P0418, P0442, P0443, P1441, and HO2S DTCs are not set.
The engine operates for more than 2 seconds.
Condition For Not Passing AIR Active Test
The HO2S 1 voltage changes less than 0.06 v or is more than 225 mV for 1.5 seconds during 2.5 seconds of AIR pump operation.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The pre-catalyst HO2S voltage remains above than 300 mV (Passive) or 150 mV (Active) for a calibrated period of time. AND
The short term FT does not increase a calibrated amount during the test.
Both conditions exist for 3 consecutive tests.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during the first trip in which the diagnostic test has been run and failed.
The PCM will store conditions which were present when the DTC set as Freeze Frame and Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The PCM will turn OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during the third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has run and passed.
The history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles have occurred without a malfunction.
The DTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.
Diagnostic Aids
Inspect for the following conditions:
Many situations may lead to an intermittent condition. Perform each inspection or test as directed.
Important: : Remove any debris from the connector surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.
? Loose terminal connection
- Use a corresponding mating terminal to test for proper tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections , and to Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems for diagnosis and repair.
- Inspect the harness connectors for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and faulty terminal to wire connection. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections , and to Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems for diagnosis and repair.
? Damaged harness--Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the harness inspection does not reveal a problem, observe the display on the scan tool while moving connectors and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A change in the scan tool display may indicate the location of the fault. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems for diagnosis and repair.
? Inspect the powertrain control module (PCM) and the engine grounds for clean and secure connections. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems for diagnosis and repair.
If the condition is determined to be intermittent, reviewing the Snapshot or Freeze Frame/Failure Records may be useful in determining when the DTC or condition was identified.
