How do I change a 1999 Chrysler LHS radiator?

R&R of a radiator on a '99 LHS is a bit labor intensive. First of all, are you sure you need to pull the radiator? If so, then here goes.

First of all, drain the coolant from the radiator. Get under the front end of the car on the passenger side and locate the coolant drain valve. (this is easier if the car is on ramps or on a lift. I would not advise jacking the car up unless you have good trustworthy jack stands to support the vehicle while you are under it.) Open the drain valve and place a drain pan under it to catch the coolant.

Now, open the hood and locate the upper radiator support bracket. The bracket extends from the right fender to the left fender and has alot of bolts holding it on. It also supports the headlamp assembly and also fastens to the front facia with three fasteners. The bracket also usually has all your belt routing stickers and emissions stickers attached. Remove all the bolts from the upper radiator support bracket and remove it from the vehicle. You will notice the hood release cable also fastens on the front of the bracket, once you have the bracket loose, you will just remove the cable from the hood release.

Now you need to remove the electric cooling fan shroud assembly. It is held on by clips and screws at all four corners. You will need to remove these in order to remove the assembly. Also, locate the electrical connector that supplies power to the fans and disconnect it as well. Then, remove the fan assembly from the radiator. Then remove the upper and lower radiator hoses from the radiator. Remove the transmission cooler lines from the radiator as well and wrap some plastic sandwich bag around the ends and tape or use a rubber band to secure the plastic. This keeps the fluid in the lines from running all over the place and keeps dirt/coolant/whatever from getting in the lines.

You will need to remove the coolant hose connected to your reservoir tank as well and secure it with a clamp or something to keep all the coolant from running out of the tank.

Next, check the radiator for any other fasteners, etc. You should be ready to lift it out of the car. Once out, do what you need to do and the installation is the reverse of removal.

Once you put the radiator in and EVERYTHING is back in its place, fill the radiator using the coolant reservoir. (make sure your drain valve on the radiator is closed!) You will notice a small bleeder port on the upper radiator hose housing on the engine. You will need to open this during the fill process to allow air to escape from the system. Once you see coolant flowing from the port and no more air bubbles, close the port. Run engine, check for leaks, continue to add coolant until car reaches operating temp then watch coolant level to make sure reservoir stays on the "full hot" line. Shut off the car and let it cool (usually overnite) then recheck everything in the morning including coolant level, add if necessary.

Good luck! Try to pick up a "Haynes" repair book (autozone) as it will help you alot in this process. The Chilton books are great to use too, however they are usually more expensive and I have made ALOT of repairs using Haynes manuals with great success.

Where is the sensor for turn signals and hazard lights on 1994 Chrysler LHS?

There is no sensor. There is a turn signal flasher relay and hazard flasher relay. They are located somewhere under the dash. Where I could not say. You just have to look for them. Look in your owner's manual, and it may list the location. If not go to www.autozone.com and use the component location tool.

Where is the fuse box on a 1996 Chrysler LHS?

The fuse box is located exactly where the user manual specifies. To the left of the steering wheel, behind the removeable panel that is exposed when the door is open. There is also a fuse and relay center under the hood, in a plastic cube between the windshield and the battery. This one for "under-the-hood" systems.

How do you change the brake light bulb in a 1999 Chrysler LHS?

Pull back the carpet and remove the 2 plastic "wing nuts". This will allow the entire taillight assembly to hang loose. Remove the bulb assembly by turning it 1/4 turn and replace the bulb.

Where is the fuel filter on the Chrysler LHS located?

it's located in front of the gas tank on the passenger side on the undercarriage of the car, tuck up in a thin "corridor" where brake lines and the fuel line converge.

Where is the thermostat located on the 96 Chrysler LHS?

It is located on the top front of the engine. The top radiator hose is connected to a metal thermostat cover on the engine block. It's held in place with 2 half inch bolts. Hope this helps.

Location of the egr valve in 1997 Chrysler LHS?

Passenger side near the firewall. Look for a piece of plastic clipped to a metal bracket and the plastic will have EGR on it. This is a two piece system, follow the hoses for the other part.

Where is the oxygen sensor on a 1997 Chrysler LHS?

There are four oxygen sensors on the 1997 Chrysler LHS. 2 before the catalytic converter and 2 after.

How do you raise strut and steering knuckle in order to install ball joint stud into knuckle 1996 Lhs?

There is no need to "raise" the strut. With the strut bottomed, the lower control arm can be pushed down far enough to get the ball joint stud under the steering knuckle and guide the ball joint stud into the bore. Take care not to damage the CV joint rubber boot as the ball joint stud will be very close to it. Also you can detach the lower control arm from the frame by removing the bushing bolt which will make it easier to install the the ball joint stud and less likely to damage the boot. When the need arises for ball joint replacement on these vehicles, I usually replace the entire lower control arm assembly. They aren't that expensive and the ball joint is already installed in the control arm along with a new rubber bushing on the other end. The rubber bushing is usually also worn out by the time the ball joint is worn out. I usually replace both left and right lower control arms at the same time since they both wear at the same rate. Check wheel alignment afterwards. Most of the time realignment isn't required but it needs to be checked. The real payoff is a noticeable improvement in ride quality and steering control. Good luck, Jay

How do you reset the ECM on a 97 Chrysler LHS?

Remove 20 Amp fuse in the power distribution center located in cavity B.

How do I Change the Battery in a 1999 Chrysler LHS?

The directions in the manual are simple and straightforward, unfortunately, they are useless. They tell the steps to changing the battery, but they don't tell one how to actuallyremove the air filter (for example), just above the battery.

I am changing the battery because the car hasn't been driven for two years, so "take the car to Sears" is not a solution.

I'd like to know how to remove/change/release the device that holds the air filter holder in place.

If it's like my 1999 300M I understand your frustration. I ended up taking out the air filter housing complete with the bracket that screws to the frame rail because I couldn't figure out how (or even IF) it came apart. This requires cutting the cable tie holding some harness to the back of the bracket.

With the housing and bracket out and in hand for inspection, it seems that the housing is intended to just push onto the bracket and kind of retain itself. So just pull REALLY hard to disengage the housing from the bracket. Once you have it apart, you might put some sort of lube in the rubber busing on the housing so you can pull it out with a more reasonable level of force next time.

after you get that off take the passenger tire off there is a panel there you can take off and the battery will slide out. such a pain in the butt!!!

Why would same diagnostic code up up twice for oxygen sensor that was changed and replaced already?

THERE IS MORE THAN ONE

AnswerPresuming you didn't manually reset the code reader, which is done by using a computer plugged into the system (in which case it better be cleared for at least a short while or you've got a bad sensor, reader or elec connection), not terribly plain English of how I understand it:

There is a part of the sensor/computer operations that continually runs tests automatically and records values (that can differ), but if accumulated (the term I always heard) over a few runs indicate a problem then identifies and sends the error code. If you haven't reset it, just driving the car with a good 02 sensor through a few cycles...which are also determined by on off of key, until it overrides itself and sees a good reading and turns off light is all that is needed. Differs as does the computer determing good values and what tests to run when, but a handlful of on offs and 50 miles or so is standard to do it.

How to open a hood with a broken cable?

I had the same problem with my 1995 LHS. The only remedy is to carry a set of pliers in your glove box. I replaced the cable handle once but it broke again.

Why is abs light track control light on a Chrysler lhs 2000?

A faulty wheel speed sensor may cause the ABS light to go on. If the "Track Control Off" light is also activated, the faulty sensor is probably on one of the front wheels, since this is a front wheel drive vehicle.
