How do you aim the headlights on a 1999 Monte Carlo?
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.
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!
How do you repair power window motor on 03 mustang gt?

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

How do you fix locked up brakes?
Are you talking about seized brakes? As in the wheels no longer turn because the brakes are stuck? or.......?
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.

The 2002 Monte Carlo blinker flasher relay switch is located beneath the drivers side dashboard. The blinker flasher relay switch will be above the brake pedal.
the local shop wanted $1400. DIY cost me about $700 for gasket set and having heads checked.
Where is the fuse that controls the High Blower speed exclusively on the 1985 Monte Carlo SS?
The 25 amp fuse in the buse block protects the blower circuit. If the high speed blower speed is lost, check the four pin plug C516 behind the right valve cover. This contector will eventually corrode producing a loss of continuity and lost of the High Speed Blower speed.

What cause your car to have no heat?
Generally, the cause is a thermostat that is stuck open. A good way to test is to turn the heater control to off for a few minutes, then turn on and see if you have heat. If you do, you need a new thermostat.
