GMC Safari

Almost always this is the power window motor failing. The window motor is usually NOT available with the regulator aftermarket. You may have to drill out the factory motor rivits if this is the original motor. Common problem on GM Truck type vehicles. Above answer is 100%. I replaced both right and left with motors I bought at Checker Autoparts. I had to drill out the original pop rivets, and I pop rivets to reinstall the new ones. This is a lot easier than trying to use the screws and nuts furnished with the replacements. Have fun!!

Check to see if the parking lights and tailights are working - if not may be a fuse (same circuit)

Several ways: 1) put one rear tire on a jackstand and see if the vehicle will drive off the stand - if so it's locking/limited slip. If not - open. 2) Lift the entire rear end up and w/the tranny in neutral spin one tire by hand. If the other spins the same direction it's a locking diff - if it spins the opposite direction - open diff. 3) Put one rear tire on grass and the other on pavement and floor it. If the one in the grass does all the spinning and you barely move - open. If you put rubber on the pavement - locking. 4) VIN Code will tell you.

More comments: The locking rear axle on the later model Safari/Astro is a "fly weight" locker that works like an open axle until it senses too much speed difference between the two rear wheels. When that happens, there is a fly weight that is thrown outward to lock the rear axles. So, Item #2 above, won't work on this axle if you turn a wheel by hand since you can't get enough speed difference (unless you are Superman). Items #1&3 will work OK, just be careful. Regarding Item #4, the VIN won't tell you about the axle. The easiest way to determine if van has a locker is to look on the RPO code placard on the edge of the passenger front door. If it has "G80" listed, then the van has a locking differential. If no G80 listed, then it is an open axle. By the way, if it has "GU6" listed, the van has a 3.42:1 axle ratio. If it has "GT4" listed, the van has a 3.73:1 axle ratio.

Jack up the rear of the van. Place the gear selector in neutral. Rotate the rear tire by hand. If the opposite tire revolves in the same direction then it is posi. If the opposite tire revolves in the opposite direction then it is not posi.

There is a circuit board that is a part of the wiper motor cover, this will cause the wipers to stop sweeping at times or completely. This can be purchased seperatly from the motor through Dorman, any Carquest Auto Parts store shore be able to help you.

I had an issue that I thought might be the relay switch, it was the connection plug on the frame just under the transmission where it crosses from the drivers side to passenger side. Maybe that is the cause as it was for me.

The Vortec is the GM 4.3L VIN Code "W" engine, the X is the non-Vortec

My suggestion is to take van to autozone and they will pull the trouble code out of memory for free. Then you can go from there.

i have a 1989 safari van . the relay on mine is located on the passenger side beside the heaterfan . look on the very far right side...just above where your feet would go

double sided tape

The fuel filter is located under the vehicle, on the driver's side, just ahead of the rear wheel. It is an inline fuel and can be changed with wrenches (no special tools). If the engine has been run recently, the line will be under pressure. Either release the pressure, or just loosen one of the connections slightly and catch the fuel in a pan.

Try using a higher size fuse you have a short in the wireing

the pump is in side the fule tank drop tank replace pump get a astro van manual

I HAVE A 01 MALIBU AND MY ABS LIGHT IS ON COME TO FIND OUT THAT I NEED NEW ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS ON MY CAR...... I HAD BRAKE PADS PUT ON LAST MONTH BUT THEY WORE OUT QUICK A MALIBU IS NOTHING BUT TROUBLE..... I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE THEFT SYSTEM AS WELL..... the car blow low beeps a couple of times on its own.... also none of the lower buttons on the temp. panel works such as the AC, and rear defrost and the other 2 buttons I'm trying to find out whats wrong with that now b/c i need my ac i live in Hot Georgia

push warning flasher on for ten seconds turn off. my van will do it once in awhile and it works. gmc has a recall on this problem.

Short to Ground Replace fuse with a test light Turn on lights test light will illuminate Check each fixture individually until test light goes out (current flow stops). This will indicate which fixture or wiring is bad. be sure to check parking, tail, and license plate lights also

In the same place as it is on every other V6 engine built in the world!!! On top of the engine, between the heads, under the throttle body.

The sensor is on the driver side of the head. It has a single wire to it.

remove air intake, filter etc, remove 6 bolts on fan cover and remove fan cover, then slip off belt(i dunno how to do this part) remove screws holding alternator, disconnect..

somewhat accurate but not totally 1 disconnect battery 2 remove air filter box and set a side

3 release pressure from the belt tensioner with either a johnson bar and i believe 15 mil 3/4 socket be careful loaded pretty strong

4 onto the hard part three mount bolts 12 and 13 mil as well as 10 mil for the positive connection there is also a 2 wire plug that will pull off the alt there is a small gm clip holding this in place the lower alt bolt also has a nut on the back side of it which you can reach by hand to stop it from turning ,Finally there is a bolt thst mounts your dipstick to the rear of the alt and block this one is for little hands may be easier with the dog house off ,, hope this helps a bit more

the best answer to this question can be found in the used car section of Kelley Blue Book. (kbb.com) the value of a GMC Safari van with 100000 miles on it and a v6 with the basics for that model van is $2,865. Now this is the basic two wheel drive model in good condition. For the best answer i encourage you to go onto kelley blue book and enter all of the special features for your van.

I have replace my van's fuel pump, you have to empty the fuel tank take the fuel tank down ,on top of the tank there is a round cover with eletrical wires and hoses for the fuel lines remove carefully and fuel pump is rigth there inside the fuel tank make sure to replaced all gaskets filters good luck from ed

The GMC Safari is a popular line of minivans/vans that were introduced in 1985 and produced until 2005 by General Motors. They are sometimes difficult to place in an exact vehicular category. Because they resemble and have the attributes of a minivan, but are somewhat larger than the contemporaries. The GMC Safaris are also more adept at towing and hauling than other minivans.

We have both a 2000 Safari and Astro and the lights turns off the same in both vans. To the left of the lights knob there is a button you can press to turn the dome lights on and off. If you press it 4 times it will turn your running lights off. The headlights automatically turn on in our vans and they are turned off the same way.

Rotational forces not applied to the fourth tire.

Check the braking system and the axle drive system.

Coolant sensors can cause a lot of various problems. The ECM relies on the coolant sensor for temperature readings. This is so that it can adjust the timing, fuel, and other related systems. But without knowing more I couldn't say that it is your problem.

i just had to fix my fuel pump. you gotta drop the tank. any DIY can get under van and see whats gotta be taken off. id start by jacking van up on drivers side about a foot for gas tank to clear bottom of van. next remove guard on bottom of tank then find and remove wire harness and gas lines on passenger side of van. ok drop tank and remove round plate looking thing on top of tank this is attached to your fuel pump. my fuel pump had a rubber hose going from pump to filter that had a hole in it . i replaced this , the filter and cleaned out tank with mild acid solution rinsed it out then replaced it and its been running great ever since
