Why would the radio and dome light fuse keep blowing in a 94 Spirit?

A reason not obvious could be the trunk light bulb which is on the same circuit. We had a case where the bulb looked good, but the filament was loose and would sometimes connect ok and sometimes short. The only case where the fuse would blow was when you opend the trunk AND the filament decided to short. Prior to diagnosing this, the dealer told us it was the radio which we had removed, but which didn't solve the problem. or at least rules out another part of the puzzle.

How do you replace the water pump on a 1993 Dodge Spirit?

Depending on engine it is pretty simple... I have a 2.5L 4Cylinder Dodge Spirit...

First u drain the coolant.

Remove Serpintine belt

Remove the A/C Compressor and keep it out of the way with someone such as rope or a bungee cord, whatever you might have to keep it up and out of the way...

Remove Alternator.

Remove the main mounting bracket that holds the AC Compresser and Alternator on.

Remove the 3 bolts holding the water pump housing to the engine block.

Now all you have to do is remove the water pump from the water pump housing then do this in reverse. Installing the new gaskets and such.

Important: you have to remove the pump pulley from the old pump and install it securely on the new pump. Chaeck that the new pump copmes with the large "J" figure plastic gasket included. While it is possible to form a gasket with silicone sealer, it is better and easier to put a smaller quantity of silicone sealer on both sides of the plastic gasket to ensure no leaks result. It took me about 4 hours to replace the pump, but I also cleaned the radiator and changed the hoses, flushing the system. Amclaussen.

What would cause a 1994 Dodge Spirit to have a scrapping sound from the front passenger side wheel but only when turning right and accelerating?

most likely a bad axle or maybe wheel bearing

Check to see if the inner mud guard isn't rubbing at some point. Axle should be a click or thumping, not a scrape. Brakes worn on that side more and you are down to metal possibly.

Lower Tank afew inches so that you can be able to disconnect wires and pipes without putting to much pressure on them and distroying them.

Where is the fuel switch on a dodge spirit 1993?

I've worked on a lot of spirits and acclaims. Never have seen a shut off switch. Chrysler doesn't use shut off switches to my knowledge. That's a Ford thing.

Why would all the lights in a 92 Dodge Spirit work except for the headlights which were just replaced?

The problem could be one of two things. The most comon problem is the multi-function switch, (the swotch that turns your brights on and your signals, and your wipers when the contacts get worn out the headlights may not work,) Also doge had some serious problems with ignition switches, not to be confused with the tumbler this is what the tumbler mounts in.

How do you adjust the calibration of the thermostat sensor readings to the dashboard gauge readings on a 1993 Dodge Spirit The gauge says it's overheating yet the car continues running properly?

you have one of two problems. either you have a bad gauge or a bad sensor. I would go to a pick and pull junkyard and get a new sender off of a car at the junkyard, if that does not help, I would go back to the junkyard and get the gauge of another car and replace it. This will solve your problem Dodge Spirit and Plymouth Acclaims have issues with the temp sensor. Also, you could have a leaking head gasket which is my current problem on my 94 Spirit.

How do you remove key switch 91 dodge spirit?

Removing the Key Switch requires a special torx bit screwdriver with a hole in it, or you can use a basic torx bit and use a drill with a small bit to drill out the center part of the screw with the stub in it that wont allow a normal torx bit to go into.

How do you replace the blower motor on a Dodge Spirit?

If you're blower motor isn't working, before replacing, check for power through the system by checking for continuity or voltage with a multimeter. The AC/Heating system gets it's own power through the ignition switch seperately from other accessories and only passes power in the RUN position, so check for power there first. If you don't have power at the ignition switch, check the fusible link between the battery and firewall (There's a whole group of them about a foot away from the firewall on the left side). I found out that was the problem with my ventilation system after I'd already torn apart the dash. If you have to replace the blower motor (make sure it is the blower motor first, because it's not a fun project), you'll have to remove the glovebox. You'll then have to remove the fan enclosure by removing several bolts. You'll probably have to replace the gasket as well, as the one in my car fell apart once the enclosure was removed. You'll then have to remove the fan by decompressing a spring clip and removing from the center spindle. You can then remove the fan. In my car, there wasn't a connector at the blower motor, so you'd have to desolder or cut the wires. If you do cut the wires, you'll have to resolder the new blower motor in and put heatshrink over the solder joints (adhesive preferably), as I don't believe it is advised to use crimps due to the amount of current. Ultimately there'll be soldering involved, most likely in a cramped space, so be careful of solder drips. If the fusible link is blown, check the connection at the ignition switch. Mine melted pretty severely, which is probably what blew the fusible link. If you change the fusible link, put a fuse holder in it's place. If you have to replace the ignition switch connector as well, solder everything... no crimps.

Where are the input and output vehicle speed sensors on a 1989 dodge spirit with the 2.5 liter automatic?

92 dodge Spirit After I've been driving it for about 15 minutes the check engine light comes on and then when I turn it off and start it again the light isn't on. Can anyone help me?

Could be that after you started it then turned it off then restarted it that you've reset the codes and fooled the Computer... you need to have the codes run on the car to see what the problem really is, i dont think its anything major since the car seems to be running good.

This is happening to my car too and I had the codes run and they did a scope on my engine and a bunch of other things and they could not find anything wrong. They said to be careful and monitor the temperature because it did occassionally show it was over heating but other than that not to worry. It has now also stopped over heating. Mine is a 94 but the problem sounds the same.
