You don't get any air flow thur vents on face of dash on a 2004 GMC Safari?
The problem with air flow Thur vents on face of the dash was fixed by repairing the small hard plastic vacuum hose that runs from the PCV valve on the driver side valve cover to a vacuum splitter near the coolant overflow and washer fluid bottles. It gets brittle due to engine heat and cracks or breaks. Your local parts supplier has a soft rubber vacuum
hose that will slip over the line, be sure to inspect the entire line and replace any of it that
feels brittle. 3 ft. of hose $3.00, and about 1 hour time.
What is the most common failure of the 4.3 fuel system?
weak fuel pump or fuel lines leaking under intake penilum or fuel regulator or injection unit (spider itself) and or plugged injector tubes. (94 safari 4.3 CPI injection)
Presumably you are talking about some country. Please clarify what country you are talking about.
Where is the rear jacking point for a 1992 GMC Safari van?
the jack position i would assume if no frame would be on the sides where the unibody meets in front of the rear wheel but i am almost certain there is a frame
Where are the wiper relays in a 1997 GMC Safari?
The wiper relays in my 1995 Safari were inside the wiper motor housing. They kept going out because water would get into the housing. If you unscrew the front of the cover, you will see the circuits and contacts. YOu can clean the contacts, but the best bet is just to replace the entire thing.
on my 98 safari i thought water was getting into my wiper motor, since the only time they acted up is when it was raining,and they would work - when they felt like it - or when i would flex the wiring connector which led into the wiper motor - called my dealer they said it would be the circuit board, I removed the screws from the cover of the wiper motor which is the circuit board and with the wiring harness still plugged into it i pulled it towards me to reveal the components on the other side, the relay is the first the you see when you follow the wiring into the circuit board, you will see 4 to 5 solder points connecting the relay to the circuit board, these solder joints worked loose, to repair simply resolder adding additional solder.
The boards are releativley cheap at the auto stores, but before spending the money try unplugging and replugging the connectors to the boards.
Why doesnt somebody post some engine schematics to visualize?
Pictures currently are not allowed. You can get some from [http://www.themotorbookstore.com/index.html Here].
you may have the wrong sized tire on . ie.. to large or one size to large in height causing the tire to rub the wheel well. check with the dealer to see what size it should be.
How do you change ignition switch without key 1996 GMC Safari?
You have to drill the guts out of the ignition lock cylinder to remove the lock cylinder.A new lock cylinder will come with 2 keys. The original ignition switch itself is probably okay and reusable.
Why does the dome light not turn on when you open the back gate of your 1997 safari?
Have you replaced the bulb. It may be defective.
How do you fix a sticking heat flap on a 1996 GMC Safari?
Most likely this is due to a broken vacuum line under the hood. Probably not a rubber hose, but a plastic tube that had dried out and cracked. Mine just crumbled apart and I replaced it all with a hose.
How do you get my rear hatch to open on a 2002 GMC Safari?
Remove the plastic molding covering the inside of the rear hatch. The hole located at the bottom of the hatch (long slot) is where you'll need to insert a flat blade screw driver. There is a pivot point that connects both latches through rods (left and right) on the rear hatch. Cause the pivot point to pivot using the flat blade screw driver and push the hatch outward. The rear hatch should now be open.

How do you remove heater core in a Chevy van?
seriously have somebody else do it and be very happy. I did mine and will never forget my 6 hours of agony will not ever do it again. So many stupid crap that just kills you. pay it's worth it.
I have a 99 Astro that had the same issue. It is a real trick to re-atatch linkage. Once the center handle has been removed along with the two accessible trim screws, you can (with minimal loss of flesh from the back of your hand) reach in and pull on the release to gain better access. The linkage has a plastic retainer to hold it into the latch lever and the broken retainer can be replaced with a suitable clip. (I used one from an RC car I had laying around) Good Luck!
PS- Be prepared to break the original interior trim to get access to the linkage where the rod may fall out. GM bad design! I suggest when you put the new trim in, make access ports so you can get to the problem easier next time. Otherwise you will go through the same problem. Oh, be prepared to sweat and get filthy when you embark on this exercise in futility. I agree with the other person when he said Good Luck; you will need it!
Overland vans is the name of the company you are looking for. They are in Harrison Michigan... all kinds of lift kits for astro, safari, and full size gmc and ford vans.... hope this helps
Where is the fuel filter located on a 2000 GMC safari van?
I have a 1998 gmc safari van and my fuel filter is located on the inside of drivers side of frame rail about half way back of frame.
How do you change the lift supports on the dutch door of a GM safari van?
Have someone support the door while you take a thin flat screwdriver and pry the metal clips off of the ends of the old support. Once the clips are off, the old support will pop off. The new one is just pressed into place with the clips on.
It puts power to the other wheel when you run off the road.
How do you change passenger side mirror on 1996 gmc safari?
remove interior left corner cap--then remove 3 screws and then remove mirror--->reverse procedure to put back new mirror...u r almost a technician
A loose wire in the circuit somewhere; a faulty circuit breaker; faulty receptacles/luminaries.
The problem could be due to corrosion of the insulation of old wiring (not UF cable type used long ago) going to the garage. This happened to my garage that was built approximately 60 years ago. Suggest tracing the wiring with an ohm meter or continuity tester from the source to the garage to see if the line is open or close.
If a 2000 GMC Safari stopped running and now will turn over but not start what is wrong?
Note: The sympton with my van was it started but started to require a few trys to get it started....then it required 4-5 trys. Eventually I could not get it started. If I was able to get it started it stayed running and ran fine.
At the risk of sounding like my dad, any internal combustion engine requires three things to run: -Fuel -'Fire' -Compression
Sounds as though you're looking at the most likely problem areas.
Some additional input:
-Fuel: Just because you replaced the fuel filter, that doesn't mean you're getting fuel. If you've replaced all that other stuff without blowing anything up, try disconnecting the fuel line at the point where it enters the carb/injector system, stick a can or fuel-proof container under the end and try cranking the engine a couple times. If nothing comes out, you've got a bad fuel pump. (As previously mentioned in some of my GM related rants, the fuel pump is in the gas tank. Good luck.) -'Fire': Using a thick glove or rag, disconnect one of the plug wires and hold it close to the engine block while someone cranks the engine a couple times. If no electrical flash between the plug wire and ground, you're still missing something in the ignition system. -Compression: Probably not an issue, unless you've already confirmed you've got fuel and 'fire'. Even with a blown head gasket, the thing should try to fire and maybe even run-roughly.
First thing DONT EVER hold the spark plug wire with any part of YOU when cranking over the van or any car .if it there is a very high voltage that can kill you before that the easyest way to test the fuel pump is to have somone turn the ignition to on not to start just till the radio wiper work but of couse have them turned off so you can hear . listen right at the gas refill door if your FUEL PUMP is working you will here it prime for startup.. If you dont here anything then start cheking fuses if all fuses are ok then your pump is fubar Iv had to replace mine. Just remember its either gas or electrical that will stop your vehical from starting .After rereading your Q if it starts and runs and stops and will not start again that sounds like the FUEL FILTER had that happen to me too. The fuel filter when cold at first start it allows fuel threw butt after fuel passing threw the filter heats up by friction and swells up making it inpassable IE no start but engine crancks but wont start that is the first thing to check from what you discribed good luck
