Geo Tracker

Remove the Phillips screws holding the lens in place, remove the lens, push bulb into socket and rotate counter-clockwise, reverse procedure to install.

There are three light bulbs when the brake light column is taken out. If just my brake light is out, which bulb needs to be replaced?

As this is a 96 model, it can be either a OBD1 or OBD2 system. If it is a 1 system, removing the battery cable for 5 minutes will reset the light. If it is a 2 system, you will need a code reader to do this. Have the problem fixed as it may cause damage to parts such as the catalytic converter. maybe mine is different, but I seem to be able to reset it by removing the battery cable I think he means IF YOU WANT TO READ THE CODES, if you just want them gone, remove the battery cable mine is a 96 OBD2, by the way, all 96 is OBD2, he does have a good point about looking into why they are crying, but I think we all want to erase them, then see how long it is till they come back on, then maybe it's time to go to autozone and get them read for free

If you are asking where MIL is it is under hood on passenger side Blue/Yellow wire and Black wire. As far as timing notch on crank pulley,paint white, connect timing gun,8 degrees BTDC @800 rpm,if off loosen distributer bolt and adjust accordingly. This is assuming all other components are in working order timing belt etc.

The oil light is comign on to tell you the oil pressure is low. It is not a gauge to tell you oil is low. Your oil pump may be going out and when it loses pressure it sets the light off. Or you could have engine wear to the place that the oil pressure is running low enough to set the warning light off. You may have a bad oil pressure sending unit as well setting off the light so I woul dcheck the oil sending unit first, maybe hook a gauge to it and see what for oil pressure you have and try to determine why your light is coming on.

Inside the glove box, left hand side.

first off on fleabay you can buy a used FSM factor service manual for $20

why work blind?

i cant tell you the mix ratio, dont know your location on earth/.

death valley

or, N.Pole?

page 6B5 FSM 90

just the rad and block holds. 10 pints (usa) 5 quarts total. {spec, is 9.9pt}

so for 50/50% coolant

mix 5 pints if coolant with 5 pints of water

or buy 50/50 in a jug

or pour in pure antifreeze at 5 pints. (one jug is 8 pints)

the fill with tap water, distilled water is for wimps , use TAP.

Is you Geo Tracker overheating or the temperature is running almost hot then you need to change you thermostat

If you have a 4x4 version its about around 4 grand. If its the 2x4 version its more like 3.5 grand

pull the parking brake lever up hard. providing your cables are good and functional the shoes will expand and the adjuster inside will reset.

Hi, I can relate to you what I had to do. I took the tire iron and banged on the soelnoid while my wife turned the key. I worked for me all the time. I learned it from a to truck driver that came on a AAA call and he showed me what to do until I replaced, I had it replaced because it was a real pain job to replace the starter. I found a good starter at a local junkyard. I hope this is timely for you and good luck Steve H.

fuse, swich, cut wire or the flasher could be out. iwould put my money on the flasher.

What year is your Malibu? In my 2001, I had to take it out part of the way (I assume you mean the face of the radio portion of the dash), and then put the key back in the ignition and put it in gear to move the gear shift in order to have room to get the base out.

disconnect negative(-) battery cable, disconect the two wires at the back of the starter. unbolt starter and remover, then to install do same ateps in reverse. o and the atarter is under the intake manafold were the motor and trany meet.

lock them in tight.

It is in a brace in front of the gas tank.

No oil bad bearings.

If it's an interference engine and the timing belt slips or breaks the pistons can slam into the valves causing damage.

This is easy. All you need is a Philips head screw driver. There are two screws at the bottom of the plastic lense. unscrew them and gently pull the entire assembly out. Then you can turn the bulb connectors on the inside to release the bulb and replace it. Sometime the connectors are tough or stuck, but they twist about 90 degrees and then release. Then reassemble.

behind left front speaker.

on LHD cars, , in UK not.

see my profile

go to bad ecu and see full instructions there for removal.

The PCM is located on the left side of the dash. Remove the speaker grill and then remove the speaker to gain access.

on the firewall under the clutch pedal, It is actually a switch

== == == == Hi, First I like them and they help prevent accidents and I wonder if all these cars that are built in Canada have them by default because it's a Canadian law, well I'll come off my pulpit now that's said...I've been going over this schematic 'till my eyes hurt. It seems as if part of the brake circuit goes through the DRL controller so you can't deactivate it but you may be able to disconnect it from the headlights. There looks as if there are two wires that mat be able to be interrupted. There is a red/green and a red/white wire that come from the DRL controller that could be the key. I need to find this pesky thing first and try it myself but I may need to wait 'till Spring 'cuz it's snowy and I park outside. If you find it please let us all know. I have a feeling it's under the dash but I'll do some investigating. I'll go to a dealer and ask the service people and poke around for answers. Let's hope this helps. Here's an answer that I found. I hope it'll help. Can someone tell me which wire to cut to eliminate the day time running lights feature on my ?97 Tracker? I?m moving to a country that does not allow the use of headlights during daylight hours. (That?s my story and I?m sticking to it.) First off - you shouldn't cut the wires, in case you ever come back to this country and have to reactivate the DRLs. That said, this is how they are hooked on my ?96 Tracker. Behind the fuse box in the drivers footwell is the headlight relay with a big white connector with 2 rows of wires going into it. Pull that out (press in the tab to release it.) On the top row of wires is one that is a red wire with a black tracer and silver bands on it. Use an unbent paper clip - I used the point of my test light - to depress the tab holding it in, remove it from the connector and wrap it with electrical tape. You have now disconnected the DRLs. Now for that pesky dashboard light. Same connector, bottom row, is an orange wire with a white tracer. Detach and tape in the same manner. No more DRLs and no obnoxious little dashboard light either. Disclaimer - this worked on a '96 Tracker 2dr. Check local laws regarding disconnection of DRLs. Also be sure the wires are taped off with electrical tape so as to not cause a short circuit or fire. Legal disclaimer - I accept no responsibility for any consequences resulting from this action, and other standard legal BS. --Cory J. Brown '96 Geo Tracker

Hi, You should find the hood release inside the glove compartment on the right top. Steve H.

Hi, The first thing I'd do is replace the wire, you probably can't get just the single wire so replace the set then try again. On the firewall there's this thing that all my books call the igniter, if the wires don't do it but I think they will, then go to a local auto recycler (junkyard that sells parts) and get the other part. Hope this helps. Steve H.

COuld be a number of things. check out the temp sending unit , check for a faulty thermostat, could be a broken or loose wire from the sending unit. these are the things I would check first.
