How do you reset the warning lights on the interior of 2000 Chevy Monte Carlo?

I hate to answer a question with a question, but it would help to know which ones are on. The oil change warning is done by putting the igniton switch to the run/acc position. Run/acc position is just before the start position. Then push the gas pedal down and up 5 times methodically within 7 seconds. The oil change light should then flash 3 times and reset. If there are multiple lights on I would take it to Autozone and have the DTC codes read and cleared. If the DTC codes cannot be read or reset, you might be looking at an engine control module. Most warning lamps have Vbatt or ground in common and the engine control module will put the opposite polarity to the other side of the lamp. It would be hard for me to see multiple lamps on due to a short or open. My low coolant lamp has been a nuesance ever since I bought my 1999 Monte Carlo. Temperature guage is normal and the coolant level is good, but idiot lamp comes and goes.

How do I replace heater core in 1986 Chevy Monte Carlo SS?

Answer

everyone should have a manual for their vehicle, and the library should have a professional shop manual available in the REFERENCE section...make copies of the right sections...good luck :)

My 1985 Monte Carlo shop manual does not cover heater core replacement. The heater core in a 1986 Monte Carlo including SS V8 with air and many other GM makes and years is removed from under the hood by removing one screw after separating the top cover and bottom half of the plastic AC module. First position the windshield wipers vertically by turning on the ignition and the wipers, then turning off the ignition when the wipers are at the top of their stroke. Remove the bottom windshield trim plate. Remove the heater hoses from the heater core. In most cases it is not necessary to drain the system because the hose connection is above the water level. Remove all electrical connections. Remove the passenger side leaf screen and windshield squirter. Separate the top and bottom half of the AC module by removing the surrounding screws, all screws in the center of the module and screws attaching the top cover to the fire wall. It may be necessary to run a knife between the top and bottom halves of the AC unit to break the seal. It may also be necessary to break the hard sealant bead at the firewall. This can be done by tapping with a screwdriver and hammer. Remove the screw at the top of the core and slide the core out. When putting the AC module back together, a new gasket can be fabricated by cutting and piecing household adhesive backed weather stripping.

When I start a 1996 Monte Carlo with the 3.4 DOHC motor it has an idle speed of 1000 rpms is that normal for this motor?

that would be good for the cold idle and should drop three times as the car warms up and should idle about 650 to 800 auto trans

Which fuse is for the dash and tailights in a 1997 Monte Carlo?

When you open the passeger side door you will see a cover for the fuse panel on the right side of the dash board. On the back of the cover is a list of all the fuse circuits. There is also a fuse block in the engine compartment mounted on the driver's side wheel well behind the windshield washer reservoir. It may be in there labeled "parking lights". Your owner's manual contains all this information. Don't have one then get one. Dealer, salvage yard, E-Bay, or a Google Search are sources.
