How do you change heater core 1984 montecarlo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If my memory is correct, everything can be changed from under the hood. The heater box should be on the passenger side by the firewall. Remove all of the screws that hold the top of the box on. Be very careful when removing the top of the box. The sealant is insanely strong and you can crack the box, if you pry or pull too hard. Once the top it off it should be right there. Disconnect the heater hoses and lift the heater core up and out. Make sure to check the new heater core for leaks before installing it. This is easy, cork both tubes off and dunk it in a bucket of water. If you see bubbles, take it back because it is leaking. When reassembling the heater air box make sure you apply a liberal amount of sealant. This will prevent leaks.

How do you program a key fob on a 1996 Monte Carlo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

there is a connector under the dash that is used for the computer called an OBD 2 connector. It is rectangle in shape, about 1 1/2 inches long. More than likely you will have to unbolt this. When unbolted, find the numbers on the connector. It should be numbered 1-8 on the top and 9-16 on the bottom(nombers are very hard to see.) You will need to jump pin #4 and #8 with a wire or paper clip. Turn the key on. (some GM models you do not have to have the key on.) The locks will cycle automatically. Once the locks cycle, push the unlock and lock buttons on the key fob within 10 seconds and hold until locks cycle again. Once locks cycle, release and fob should be programmed.

How do you reset the security light on your 2002 Monte Carlo?

Asked by Wiki User

To reset the security light on an Oldsmobile vehicle, first the driver must turn the key to the "on" position, without starting the engine. Next, he or she should turn the key to attempt to start the engine, but not completely, so that it doesn't start before moving the key back to the "on" position. After about 12 minutes, the light will?æbe reset, and the key should be removed.?æ

How do you remove the steering wheel on my 2003 Monte Carlo SS?

i think this one is simple if you dont have a puller for the job you should not be trying very dumb since the old cars are the easiest to work on once you take the horn ring off and the big nut off the shaft you'll need a wheel puller to pull the wheel off.

How do you aim the headlights on a 1999 Monte Carlo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The low beam lights have three attachment points and these act as the adjustment knobs; looking at the light, one is at the 11 o'clock position, the second is at two o'clock, and the third is at five o'clock. These allow for vertical and horizontal alignment. On the high beam, there is only one point, located at the seven o'clock position, and it allows vertical movement only.

What do you do if the low tire pressure reset option does not appear on the radio menu of a 2002 Monte Carlo?

I too would like to know the answer as my 2001 Chevy Impala done the same thing. Tire pressure monitor will not reset through the radio menu. ____

My 02 was doing the same thing. No option in the radio menu. I ended up having to disco the battery for a few seconds to reset the memory. Worked like a charm!

Where is the bolt to loosen the serpentine belt on a 99 Monte Carlo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The belt is held in place by a tensioner. it looks like a flat pulley with nothing attached.it has a nut on top that is used to release the pressure on the belt. It is a good idea to get the tool that is needed to do the job. it can be done with regular mechanic's tool. If there is space to use them. make a drawing of the belt pattern before you do anything. it make it much easier to put back on. i made that mistake. Take what ever tool you are going to use and slowy turn the bolt counter clockwise. you should be able to see the tension on the belt release. Slide the belt off of one of the components, and return the tensioner to it original place. notes. the tool needed is not expensive, and can be found at most parts stores. also replace the belt with one that is the same as the one you removed. some have anywhere from 4-7 grooves. hope it helps. duboff

How do you jump start a 1998 Monte Carlo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

WARNING

Failure to follow these instructions carefully, especially in the + / - polarity matching of the hookups, could result in damage to both batteries and/or burns to your person. Please be safe.

1 Open the hoods on both cars. Locate the batteries.

2 Close the hood on the running car, and move it into position so that both cars' batteries are as close as possible. (Reopen the hood.)

3 Attach a red jumper cable clamp to each battery's positive (+) terminal.

4 Locate a large, unpainted metal surface on the engine of each car. A bracket near the alternator works best. (The alternator is a grapefruit-sized motor-like device on the front of the engine.)

5 Attach a black jumper cable clamp to each location described in step 4.

NOTE: The last connection you make could make a small spark, and the engine on the running car should slow slightly. If this does not happen, check all 4 clamp connections by wiggling them.

6 Let the dead battery charge for about 5 minutes before attempting to start the car.

More details below

To jump a car, get some jumper cables and another car, and line the other car's front up with the dead one so that the batteries of each car can be as close enough together so the cables will reach. Leave the car with the good battery running. Now you're ready to connect the cables.

Start by connecting the negative cable to each battery first. Then connect your positive cables. Be sure to "manage" your clamps so you don't short anything out. Triple check your battery polarities before making cable connections - do not blow it connecting the units up incorrectly. Negative to negative, and positive to positive.

Have the one car that's fine running before making the last connection. What will happen when the last connection is made is that the "good" battery will start to charge the "dead" one, and this will drag down the "good" one. You'll want to have the vehicle with the "good" battery running so that the charging system can help transfer energy to the "dead" battery and minimize the impact of the discharge on your "good" battery. Wait a few minutes while the other battery charges off of the good one and the charging system of the operating vehicle.

The car should start after that. If it sounded like it was going to start and it didn't, wait even longer and try again. Each time you try to start the car with the "dead" battery, you'll be draining the dead battery more, so make sure and let it charge a bit.

Another answer

Jump starting a car battery is best accomplished with a pair of jump cables, normally sold in a "jump start pack", to jump start from the good battery of another car.

It's a good idea to read your owner's manual on the subject. Certain manufacturers recommend different techniques. For example BMW suggests turning on the headlights and blower fan. The technique is to connect the positive cable from the jump pack between the positive terminal on your battery and the positive terminal on the other car's good battery, and the negative cable from the jump pack to the negative terminal on your battery, or - better - to a grounding point on your vehicle, to the other car battery's negative terminal.

Don't ever get the jump cables reversed as doing that will cause the them to heat up so much that their insulation will melt and may even catch on fire and you may also cause damage to both cars' electrical systems.

Make sure you know the voltage on your car, most are 12 volt systems but some are 6 volt. If jumping from another car make sure they are both the same voltage.

Start the car to be jumped from and connect the positive cable ends to the positives terminals of both batteries and the negative cable to the negative terminals on both batteries. Allow the jumper car to run for a while before trying to start the jumpee car.

Another way to start a car that has a dead battery

If the vehicle with the dead battery has a manual transmission and it's parked on a hill, or you can push it to one, you can try another method: with the car in first gear and the ignition on, push in the clutch and let it roll down hill. When it gets going about 10 miles an hour or so, release the clutch quickly and it will snag the flywheel and force your engine to start turning, and that should start the car. If you aren't going fast enough, the engine will stall. Push in the clutch quickly after it starts and rev the engine a bit to insure it is going to keep running. Wait a few minutes before driving off to insure the battery gets a bit of a charge from the charging system, too. This can also be done in reverse, but it is much more dangerous, and it is inadvisable unless you are good at it and actually have a clear spot to roll backwards on.

Can you use an aftermarket radio in Chevy Monte Carlo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Have a professional do it or if your up to it, you can DIY with a few mods. You will loose the radio features such as chimes and tire pressure reset etc. but, install the radio in the normal fashion into the dash. a little modification to the dash cover is sometimes necessary depending on the radio. Hook up the aftermarket radio to the GM color codes below. The ACC will not work with this type install and you must read all the way for this to work. Find a new spot in the fuse box that works off the key (a tester is needed) wire this new wire to the ACC wire of your radio. You MUST have an antenna adapter for an aftermarket radio. Reinstall the radio/dash/etc.

Car Radio Battery Constant 12v+ Wire: Orange

(There is sometimes two orange. Use the "Hot" one.

Car Radio Accessory Switched 12v+ Wire: Yellow

(The yellow wire will not work, run a new as previously mentioned)

Car Radio Ground Wire: Black

Car Radio Illumination Wire: Gray

(Use only if your new radio has this feature)

Left Front Speaker Positive Wire (+): Tan

Left Front Speaker Negative Wire (-): Gray

Right Front Speaker Positive Wire (+): Light Green

Right Front Speaker Negative Wire (-): Dark Green

Left Rear Speaker Positive Wire (+): Brown

Left Rear Speaker Negative Wire (-): Yellow

Right Rear Speaker Positive Wire (+): Dark Blue

Right Rear Speaker Negative Wire (-): Light Blue

After the install, Go to the trunk and locate the Gmos box in the trunk. (looks like a small aluminum amp) unplug the Large plug from the module (box) and notice its the same plug that was in you radio. Locate and cut the speaker wire colors above and also cut the same number of wire directly across from them on the other side of the plug. There should be two wires left in the plug when your done. Connect the wires as follows:

LF(+) Tan connects to Blue w/ white stripe

LF(-) Grey Connects to Green w/ Black stripe

RF(+) Light Green connects to Blue with black stripe

RF(-) Dark Green connects to Dark Green

LR(+) Brown connects to Tan**

LR(-) Yellow connects to White

RR(+) Dark Blue connects to red

RR (-) Light blue connects to Tan**

**There are two tan wires the same color in this group keep them beside their corresponding color where they were in the plug. If the rear speakers don't play then swap these two.

Wire nut and/or tape these and plug the plug back in the module (not that it will do anything now) and your radio is "Good-to-go"

Good luck!

How do you determine what the volt light on a 1997 Monte Carlo means on a car that starts?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If the voltage light stays on after stating the car it means you have a problem with the charging system. Possibly the alternator has gone bad. Start the car and with a volt meter check the voltage at the battery terminals. it should read between 13-14.5 volts. If not, your alternator is not working. Most auto parts stores will check your system free of charge.

Asked by Wiki User

Most cars will not run hot if the radiator is a little low. It sounds like you may have a pin hole in your heater core (coil) and the stem could be coming through your vents. This should have some smell to it. Most cars will not run hot if the radiator is a little low.
