Where is the blower motor on 1993 lumina sedan located?
Located on the passenger side, under the dash. Accessible from the floorboard. Not easy to get to but I've taken it out and put it back in several times. Recently replaced with a new replacement motor. You'll have to remove a thing or 2 to get to it and then it's just 3 screws to remove it. 1 screw is a little tricky to get out because it's next to the wheel well. Pulling it out is a little tough because the blower wheel hangs up but you can get it worked out and then you'll have to work at it to get it back in. Hope this helps!

3.1L V6 are famous for bad intake manifold gaskets that are made of plastic. See if you can find the source of the leak and how bad. Too much leaking could cause overheating problems. A bad water pump will also cause problems. btw, I blew my engine by not getting the intake manifold gasket repaired in a timely fashion. IF you have the money I would get it changed to avoid problems down the road.
How do you install CD player Chevy Equinox?
Depending on what year, and possible model, it could be a little or a lot different. I have a 2005 Equinox LT. If you take a flat screw driver and pry it up under the plastic below the shifter, there is a series of clips that hold the console surrond on.
Once you get it off you need to put the key into the ignition and turn to the run (not start the car, but just before you crank the engine). This is so you can place the car in drive, but please put the emergency brake on just in case. now you can take the clip out where the windows plug in where you pried up and a couple other clips for the other console functions. Here you need and socket set to take out the four screws holding it in. then slide the unit towards you and there is 2 or 3 plugs into the back. The antenna is kinda wierd looking like it hsouldn't come out, but just give it a good yank. And there you go, just go backwards to install. (I know, I went backwards) If you are having trouble getting a CD player to work that wasn't original to the car, then you probably need an unlcok code that a Chevy dealer can give you with a receipt for it or maybe it is broken. Good luck.
No, look inside the glove box, on the left hand side, there should be a YELLOW button that says "trunk" on it. This will also release the trunk.
What is the sequence for tightening the head bolts where do you start?
i usually follow the picture when you get the head gasket. failing that, i start from the centre head bolts and go around in a clockwise direction working outwards. some people suggest using a star pattern like doing up wheels but it's too easy to forget where your up to unless you use a pen marker to remind you which ones you have tightened.
Freeze plugs in a 96 Lumina are located at several places on the engine block. They are designed to expand and burst in a freeze instead of the engine being damaged.
