Geo Tracker

Hi, First, do you have a 3 speed auto or a 4 speed? If this is concerning a 3 speed auto I had this very same problem. The VSS is an iuntegral part of the speedometer on the 3 speed. The problem is in one of three places, the speedometer (not repairable, only replaceable) the speedo cable (could be not fully connected on the speedo) or the car's computer. The speed is replaceable as the whole assy, I found it a few places, the speedo cable is the easiest to check, disconnect from the transmission so you have some cable to work with then remove the instrument panel assy and check that the cable is fully connected and not broken so that the cable is not staying connected, if it's broken, then get a new cable from a Chevy dealer and it's easy to replace just start at the instrument panel first or it's an impossible task. The instrument panel assy is eaqually easy to replace, just remove the speedo cable from the tranny first so you can have extra cable inside. If it's the computer then it's also easy to replace but so far I've only found that it was the cable and the speedo. If it's a 4 speed auto then the VSS is mounted on the rear of the tranny and is not to bad to replace. Good luck. Steve H.

To change the voltage regulator on a 94 Geo Tracker, locate it in the black plastic box on the back of the alternator. Unplug each cable from the regulator, remove it and replace.

Hi, The starter should be located on the right side of the engine, tucked in real close to the engine. If you will look down from the battery side, you should see the starter about in a line with the front side of the battery. If the starter is not working or sometimes not working, try hitting the starter while someone turns the key to the start position...really, this works. Until you can replace the starter, this is a way to keep going. It does mean you need to replace the unit but it's only two bolts and a few wires and looks like an easy job, you need jackstands or ramps or someone tha'll let you use their garage lift. I have to do this so I've been going through the same thing. Hope this helps and good luck. Steve H.

Hi, The first would be buy new, crazy, too expensive! Second is can you find one at a local salvage / junkyard, that's what I did. Third is to empty the washer tank and make a repair with epoxy. If the hole is too big, then try to fit a piece of hard plastic or some type of lexan, the kind they use for windows, over the hole and epoxy the hole closed wth the plastic piece. I'll bet though that your tank is cracked and an epoxy repair should cover and fix the crack. In the meantime, after you patch the tank, you'll do yourself a favor by finding a used tank. I was able to find one right away when I needed one. Good luck. Steve H.

There are two fuse boxes one under the steering column. The other is under

hood in front of battery. Both have schematic to what fuse goes where. Also

if you have manual still available it will have a diagram as well

or

mitchels.

or buy a used FSM on Fleabay.com for $20 bucks.

and more important, what diagram there are about 1000.

add Diagram of WHAT?

It could be a broken or disconnected speedo cable, that's one thing, the other is that the speedo itself has died that's what happened to me. The thing to do is first check the cable. You need to disconnect it from both ends and see that the inside works, the hard part is removing the instrument panel assy. This whole deal takes a bit of time and sure helps if you've got help but it's doable. If the cable's ok then you need to buy a new instrument assy.

Richard Gora is also using the older Geo alternator from the 3 cylinder models. This alternator has 3 wires. One is drirectly from the battery and 2 others are (or more correctly were) in a green plug. These are the power from the key and the lead to the "no charge" light. My problem is that I do not have the plug and need to determine which of the two wires goes where. Any help ? Thanks !!! Doc PS I have an ohmeter etc etc fcorp1@tampabay.rr.com

thru the trany dipstick tube(the tube u pull the transmission dipstick out of) usally its at the back of the motor between the motor and the firewall. but you need to make sure you add the fluid while the motor is running, and the trany is in park.

in the glovebox

Try the right (passenger) side firewall near battery.

The crank sensor on the 2.0 DOHC engine is behind the flywheel (flex plate) on the back of the motor. In order to change it you must pull the transmission or motor.

Try turning the sterring wheel just a little while trying to turn the key. Also you might try pulling up on the gear shift lever if this is a column shifter while trying to turn the key. Hope this works.

There is a small " U- shaped " clip behind the crank. You can buy a window crank removal tool or use a small right angled pick. Another way is to take a thin rag and slide it behind the window cranks and pull up on it. Make sure you are going against the open end of the clip and pray it doesn't fly across the room. hahahahah Good luck!

I have a 1995 Geo Tracker and there is a handle just to the right of the gear shift (I have 5 forward) that's clearly marked "2" and "4". I'm fairly certain that yours isn't that simple. Sooooo -- go to GM dot com and join the community (you need your vin number). They will permit you to download an owner's manual in pdf, and I'm certain you will find it there. In addition ebooks on line offers free copies of owner's manuals for later years.

Answer

What does your owner's manual say? If you don't have one, then either get one and follow that schedule or, call a dealer and find out the correct change interval. If this is an interference engine, then serious engine damage will occur if it breaks the belt. Don't guess, find out for sure. If you cannot get a definitive answer, then replace it at 60,000 just to be safe.

Answer

The Haynes manual, and two online sources I've looked up say up to '96 change at 60K and '96 and newer 100K. To add to my confusion one source states it's an interference motor another that it isn't.

yes very safe as long as it is in neurtal and if 4x4 tc should be in neutral as well

Hi, You didn't specify whether you want for an auto or a manual so I'll give you both The Auto Trans takes 3.2 pints and the manual takes 5.8 pints. Those are the only fluid specs I have so I have to think it's with the pan dropped and the filter replaced not a complete flush as in an overhaul, but you probably are asking about what I mentioned, a fluid and filter change. follow up if need be and good luck.

it is in the transmission

Disconnect the negative cable from the battery for about one minute and the light goes off, if the light comes on again you must use an scanner and find out which code you have to fix the sensor that sends that code from emissions system.

I'm in the middle of this job on a 1995. Found out the hard way (didn't read the service manual close enough) that you must remove the timing belt to do this job. So much for what I thought was going to be an easy task.
