How do you remove or change windshield wipers on a Chevrolet astro van?

  • Step 1 is to be sure you get the correct-fitting replacement wiper blades. All 1985-2005 Chevy Astro Vans take 18" replacement windshield wiper blades on both sides front. The rear arm takes a 14" rear wiper blade.
  • Step 2: As far as installation, the replacement wiper blades will come with simple-to-follow, step-by-step, illustrated removal and installation instructions, and once you have the instructions and the wiper blade/arm in your hands and in front of you, it will all make sense and will an easy maintenance task. The old ones simply snap-off and the new ones simply snap right back on. Very simple and takes 5-15 minutes usually not requiring any tools.

Why is Chevy van horn not working?

A blown fuse may be the reason a horn is not working in a Chevy van. It could also be caused by a faulty horn relay.

How do you replace the water pump on a 1997 Chevy van?

It is pretty easy but you can mess it up so get a manual on your truck from the parts store which will help on the next repair.

Added info: My manual was incorrect on how to get the fan off the water pump. I'm not sure if the 97 is the same as a 1999 and 2000, but I think it is. First thing is to take off the air filter "box"and radiator overflow tank. Then the plastic fan shroud. Then you should be able to get to everything. Your local auto parts store should have a special tool to hold the fan pully while you loosen the big nut that goes on the front of the water pump (look at the new water pump to determine if the threads are right or left hand threads so you know which way to turn the nut to loosen). Once you get the fan and clutch off the water pump, then it's pretty straight forward. One thing is you must have new gaskets when putting on the new water pump. These gaskets will want to fall off when you try to put the pump on (a real pain in the butt). Buy some of the gasket maker stuff that is made for waterpumps/theromostat housings and use on the gaskets to hold in place.

How can you fix an oil pressure switch that keeps leaking?

If it really is the switch itself which is leaking, then it cannot be fixed, and needs to be replaced. On the other hand, if the leak is at the threads where it screws into the block, then a fix that may work is to remove the swith, clean the threads on the switch, and in the block opening, wrap the switch threads with teflon plumber's tape, and replace the switch into the block, tightening it firmly. Hope this helps.j3h.

What fuse on a 1979 Chevy van a great laker causes the headlights to turn on?

What is wrong with a 1998 Chevrolet Astro van that has blinking security light and will not start?

Your problem is being caused by the GM Passlock security system. It basically monitors your ignition keyswitch to determine if it has been turned without the proper key inserted. However, this system can begin to operate erratically as the vehicle ages (and the keylock cylinder has been turned numerous times). The owner's manual recommends calling GM roadside assistance for immediate help, or taking the vehicle to a GM dealer for repair. This system can be (and must be) overriden when installing a "remote start" system on your car. I know folks who have purchased the override module just for the purpose of removing the security feature due to its erratic operation.

+++++

read up on the system and check all the basics... everyone should have a manual for their vehicle, and the local library should have a SHOP manual available in the reference section--make copies of the right info and read up..you'll be a pro in no time ...good luck:)

Where could you find a Wiring diagram for a 1994 Chevrolet Astro Van?

Try your local library. That is where I go for automotive manuals, mine even lets me check them out.

Another answer: Many auto parts stores carry Haynes manuals for most cars ($10-$15). I've found them invaluable when working on my own cars. The Haynes manuals cover almost everything you can do on your car, to include wiring diagrams, diagnostic codes (and how to read them), regular maintenance, brakes, emissions, all the way to engine overhaul.

THIS is a completely useless answer,I'm sorry,but if anyone wanting a diagram was going to go to the library,why wait on someone to tell them too?Why doesn't anyone just post a freaking diagram,or not waste everyone's time with whats basically an ad for Haynes and your local library?

How do you remove the rear seat headrests on a 2005 Chevrolet Equinox?

It's not in the owner's manual. I recently purchased a used 2005 Equinox myself and needed to remove the rear seat headrests to allow my child booster seats to position correctly. After an extensive internet search I found the anwer at: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20070513143128AALmM37 I used a small finishing nail for this procedure and was able to successfully remove my Equinox's rear headrests. Answer: Raise the head restraint to the full-up position (beyond the highest fixed position). Insert a small nail into the guide hole (located on the opposite side from the adjusting button).
Pull up to remove the head restraint. Good Luck 01/17/2008
