Where is the vehicle speed sensor located in an 1999 Mercury Villager?
Under the drivers side, on top of the transmission cranckcase. You'll see a cable with a clip-on connection to the VSS. It can be very hard to remove as it may seize up over time and there's not alot of room to work in.

How low does your tank have to be for gas to freeze?
Gasoline does not freeze.
But, it is common for there to be minimal amounts of water inside a fuel tank, and when there is not enough gasoline to dilute it, that small amount of water then can freeze.
There are additives designed to deal with that water and prevent it from causing starting problems.
How do you take the doors off of a 2000 Honda Civic DX you need to get your window back on track?
The 2000 may not be much different from my 91 in that you don't take the doors off the car, you take the inner door trim off the doors. Remove any screws you can find around the handle and in places you can't normally see, like up by the dash and hinges and behind the latch. Once these are out, you have to pull the inner door trim away from the sheet metal of the door starting at the bottom with your fingers or a plastic putty knife to get it started. (Again, this is how I did my 91) Being sure all screws are out, you have to pull hard to get it to start popping lose. Work your way around. When all are out, it will be hanging by a lip on the top of the door. It should then lift off the lip and come free, working it past the latch. I used silicone to attach the glass to the scissor-mounted glass rest, but raised and lowered the window a few times to see just where the two should meet. I think its best to try to put it back where the factory had it. You don't need or want much silicone, but the two surfaces must be clean so they stick together. Let it dry for a couple days before stressing the connection by using the window. To put the door panel back on, work in reverse order. Be careful to align the friction clips at the bottom before you pound them back in. The screws should line up perfectly or you've shifted it from where it was before.
How many oxygen sensors are on a 1998 Ford Windstar Van?

Overdrive light off flashing in ford winstar 2000?
Problem with the electronics of the transmission. Take it to a professional.
Has the TPS (throttle position sensor) been replaced? If so, this will happen 100% of the time after a short amount of miles & you have to reset the transmission to the new sensor.
Where can you find a engine control unit?
If you meant Ignition control, that is usually behind the motor. This is just below your distributor where your plug wires meet.
How do you remove or attach the armrest in a Ford Windstar?
Use a pneumatic die grinder to grind two flat spots, parallel to each other on the shoulder of the threaded stud sticking out of the arm rest. Grind down enough on both sides and use a 7/16 open end wrench on it. Make sure the threads are clean on both surfaces and then thread the stud into the seat back armrest bracket. You can pull back the upholstery on the seat back far enough to expose the mount bracket so you can see what you are doing. You have to hold the armrest up and there will be a lot of tension as the stud turns in the armrest housing. Just make sure your not cross threaded and you will be fine. After the thread was in about 2/3 of the way; use a thinner wrench because the clearance between the armrest and the seat back bracket gets to tight for a standard wrench. Snug it down and make sure the arm rest moves up and down freely and your done.
Because the engine cooling fan does not work properly or does not work at all.
There are many reasons which may cause Engine overheat. the above is also one of them.
- Loss of coolant
- loss of coolant because coolant leaks from anywhere on the cooling system.
- Loss of coolant because radiator cap is broken and will cause overheat.
- Loss of coolant because radiator cap pressure is less than the required.
- Loss of coolant because compression leak in to the cooling system.
- Radiator internally blocked. (Heat exchanger blocked, if equipped)
- Radiator externally blocked. (Air flow blocked)
- Engine Overloaded (engine can be overloaded because of loss of power due to malfunction of some parts, in this case there must have other symptoms).
- Thermostat does not direct water circulation to the Heat Exchanger.
- Engine mechanical condition is not good (Power balance)
- Engine ignition timing is retarded.
- After a repair Engine started to overheat.(AC or Radiator fan is rotating wrong direction, polarity changed)
Is the 2013 Ford E-Series-VAN front wheel drive rear wheel drive or four wheel drive?
The 2013 Ford E-Series-VAN has rear wheel drive.
Gas, or petroleum as we quaint bumpkins say, was made when rainforests from several million years ago were crushed beneath the tons of sediment which formed over the top of them. Over millions of years, the biochemicals in the trees and animals were squeezed out and the intense pressure formed a mixture of hydrocarbons; cruse oil.
Gas is a hydrocarbon, and only forms in this way. Crude oil is taken from the ground and heated. Gas will only condense at a particular temperature (look up fractional distillation), so can be separated from the mix. The rest is used for tar, jet fuel etc.
The big problem is that gas isn't being made at the moment. It takes millions of years to make gas, so even if we replanted the rainforests, oil will still run out.
Where is the speed sensor located on a 1992 Chevy Silverado 2500 4x4?
It's located in the wheel hub assembly there is one on each side. may have to pull brake caliper and rotor off to get to it. its a little black plug that goes inside the wheel bearing should have a Allen head bolt holding it in.The other end should un plug in the inner fender or on the upper control arm

I have a problem with my 2 door Toyota rav4 2002 fuel gauge. it reads empty when in fact it is partly full. When filled up at pumps it then reads only half full. What can I do to fix this.
Remove the fuse. Fuse box is located on the driver side of the dash, between the dash and driver side door.
Note: The airbag is part of the safety systems in the car and should not be disarmed.
On my 2000 Windstar the electric sliding doors don't work and keeps blowing 6 fuse?
door contact switches grounded or bad... dave
How do you replace sparkplugs on a 2000 Chrysler cirrus?
In my 2000 4cly 2.4l is was the easiest thing in the world. There are in a line across the front. 1-2-3-4 Left to Right. You will need a deep socket with the rubber thing inside so the sparkplug doesn't fall out of the socket after you have loosened them and need to lift them out of the hole. You don't not have to take any manifold off, just gently pull the rubber plug boots off the spark plugs. The order of the boots is important. Label them or just do one at a time. in my 1999 the front 3 are easy, take the boots off, and take em out. the back 3, this is fun, u have to take off the upper intake manifold just to reach them. they are under the manifold. it gets pretty easy when you mess up and have to redo it 4 times, lol.
Where is the instrument panel light bulb located in a 2001 Kia Sportage and how do you replace it?
Its a 15 amp fuse in the fuse box under the hood on the passenger side near the front. Its the only 15 amp fuse and it is in a clip. Remove the clip, replace the fuse and then reset the clip.
if you mean the rear vent window it could be a loose wire if you have power and ground then the window motor is bad
Where is the interior light delay relay on a 98 Ford Windstar?

This can be a warped rotor or tire out of balance. If it only happens when braking it is a warped rotor.
How do you turn off the interior courtesy lights on a 2002 Chevy Camaro convertible?

How do you change the speed sensor on a 1998 Ford Windstar?
to change the sensor you can get to it from the bottom at the rear of the engine.there is a heat shield at the collector pipe that you will need to remove for access. it's impossible to get a good view so get a small mirror and flashlight. it is right behind the exhaust collector and it only has one 10mm bolt. you need to be somewhat of a contortionist to get it but with a little patience you can get it out without removing the exhaust pipe like it is recommended.
A better alternative to the above procedure is to go in from the passenger side in the wheel well. Because anytime you have to play with exhaust bolts more than likely after all this time these bolts are either rusted or welded in place and you end up braking them. Procedure works better if there is a vehicle hoist, but a jack and jack stands work too. Procedure is as follows:
1) loosen right front (passenger side) wheel
2) Raise front of vehicle as high as you can and place jack stands under sub frame of vehicle.
3) Remove tire and wheel asseembly.
4) Place jack under engine assembly on right side of vehicle
5) Start removing motor mount.
a) Remove 8mm bolt holding fluid lines in place.
b) Remove 18mm nut on bottom of engine mount and sub frame .
c) Remove two motor mount bolts
6) jack engine up about 1/2 inch to an inch to be able to lift engine mount out of place.
7) Remove engine mount bracket from engine
a) remove three 13mm bolts from bottom side of bracket to engine
b) remove one 13mm bolt from engine bracket side
c) remove one 13mm bolt from top of engine bracket and remove bracket.
***Now you have a clear shot at the VSS ****
8) Remove insulation piece of foam from cable area.
9) Carefully disconnect the VSS from the cable.
****Next step optional makes everything easier but adds an extra step****
10) Remove the two 8mm bolts holding the speedometer cap in place.
11) Remove the speedometer cap and VSS together.
12) Unbolt 8mm bolt holding VSS to speedometer cap and remove VSS.
13) Remove speedometer gear from VSS by removing U clip and place on new VSS.
14) Bolt VSS back onto Speedometer cap.
15) Replace speedometer cap on to transmission.
16) Reverse steps 1 to 9 to finish install.
Total time for somebody who knows what their doing 1.6 hrs. For backyard mechanic allow double so 3.2 hrs to complete. This procedure is a lot easier because you can see what you are working on and have plenty of room for your hands.
Why don't my power windows on my 2001 Nissan Frontier work unless the ignition is turned on?
That is just how the vehicle is wired, its not a defect, its a safety feature, the windows arent supposed to work, unless the ignition is on.
