Chrysler Pacifica

Nothing is wrong with the Chrysler Pacifica. It does have occasional problems with

failure of the motor mounts on some years but other than that it is a pretty reliable vehicle. It does not get great fuel mileage with an average of 16 city 23 highway and combined 18

miles per gallon.

It is on the valve body, inside the transmission.

When its cold make sure the radiator is full of 50 50mistake a meat thermometer put in radiator when the temp of the water reaches the thermostat setting around 195 this is approximate I didn't look in the book. The upper radiator will get hot when it opens if the car starts to overheat and the stat did not open shut it down and replace the stat. If the stat is opening make sure the fan is coming on. If the fan doesn't come on jumper it off the battery if it spins replace the temp sending unit for the fan. If you have an inferred thermometer you can check the radiator for hot and cold spots it could be plugging up in spots and can be used instead of a meat thermometer

If it is a rapid clicking, the battery has failed.

THERE ARE TWO BOLTS ON EACH SIDE OF THE CALIPER REMOVE THOSE AND PULL THE CALIPER OFF

It's in a real bad place. Above the oil filter, below the power steering pump, above the air conditioning compressor with about a 1/2 inch around it. If your light comes on intermittently Have a shop replace it cost me 13 dollars for switch I spent 3 hours trying to get to it in the wheel well gave up took it to a shop they said wait for it only take a few min. 3 1/2 hours later they finished best 64 dollars I have spent

this is a 2006 chrysler pacifca 3.5l sideways mounted engine.

well it can be tough and its much easier you can acess the bottom of the car. get a skinny serpintine tool that has the 1/4 inch adapter. put the tool into the square hole located on the bottom portion of the tensioner near the tensioner pully. pull towards front of the vehicle with one hand. hold. and pull belt off the altenator with the other hand. now i would recemmond then just takking off all the belts off the a/c, power steering, crank pully. then once you you get it all up and sorta out. you want to get it off the tensionor pully. thats tricky. you have to push it off the pully. (towards the driver side when your standing on the passenger side of the vehicle.) twist the belt so it can slip down between the tensionor pully and the timing chaiin cover. then down and out. the belt should be out. then make sure you have the correct belt by matching them up side by side end to end. (may need 2 people.) now to put it back on i started with the tensionor pully. rule of thumb is smooth side of belt goes to smooth pully and ribbed belt goes to ribbed pullys. the tensionor pully is a smooth pully. to get it back in its correct home you must fold the belt in half. smooth part to smooth part. (so the ribbed sides are on both sides. now you will notice a gap between the tensionor pully and where the tensionor actually bolts into the timing cover right above the tensionor pully. that hap your going to have to push the folded belt threw. stand on the passenger side of vehicle. put folded belt on top of the tennsionor pully to the right of the tensionor. now i used a medium sized ice pick long enough to reach behind the tensionor to pull the belt through that gap i was talking about. once you got it almost all the way around that pully it can usually be a breaze from there. the belt portion that comes off the bottom of the tensionor pully then goes towards the back of the car around the crank pully near the bottom of the car. look at a belt diagram and you should be set the rest of the pullys are easier by doing it by the bottom of the car.

good luck

I had the same problem. The dealer replaced the engine mounts at $550.

My wife drives a 2005 Pacifica, so I assume that the procedure is the same, if not similar. Check the owners manual to be certain. (The procedure is outlined in the manual.) 1. Open the tail gate. 2. Remove the two bolts that hold the tail light assembly to the body. 3. Carefully rotate the assembly out (parallel to the ground) until it snaps free from the body. (Place a small piece of cloth at the apex of the horizontal V shaped edge where the ball-jointed peg is attached to the body. This will help to prevent the assembly from scratching the paint job.) 4. You then have ready access to all of the bulb connectors from the back side of the assembly. 5. Rotate the bulb connector counter clockwise to free the bulb connector. 6. Pull the bulb straight out of the connector. 7. Align the new bulb as the old bulb was aligned, and gently, yet firmly, push the new bulb into place. 8. Return the connector to the empty hole in the assembly and rotate it clockwise to secure it. 9. Push the ball-jointed peg into its receptacle in the body, and reconnect the assembly to the body with the two bolts remove in step 2.

The OBD port is under the dash on the driver side.

Expect a shop to charge around $200. It's a real easy DIY task, if you feel so inclined.

The spark plugs are located under the each of the coil packs, 3 in the front and 3 in the rear. the 3 front ones are accessible only after removing the intake(big U shaped thing on the engine, under the engine cover
underneath upper air intake. alldatadiy.com for detailed instructions. will take the better part of an afternoon to change em

It is on the back side of the oil pan. Use a thirteen mm wrench to remove it.

It is between the heads, under the lower intake manifold.

I would check for a broken motor mount.

After removing the securing screws on top, you have to pull the headlight unit forward. You might have to flex the bumper fascia down a little to get a grip, as you'll need to pull assertively to disengage the retainer clip on the bottom of the unit.

To replace the rear wiper blade on a Chrysler Pacifica, you must first remove the old blade. You can remove it by pushing the small blade that holds the wiper in place up, and push the blade back. Once the blade is free from the hook remove it. Put the new blade in position so the hook is in position to go over the wiper attachment. Clip it into position and you are done.

Just had my oil changed and there are 5.5 quarts of oil.
