What cause back lights and dash lights to blow fuse in 1997 GMC Sierra?

Fuses That "Blow" Repeatedly

Without being able to "hands-on" troubleshoot the circuit served by the repeatedly blowing fuse, no one can identify the specificcause/defect.

The following generic answer applies to any electrical circuit, whether in a vehicle or in a building, or whether alternating current [AC] or direct current [DC].

Fuses [and Circuit Breakers] are safety devices designed and installed in electrical circuits TO PROTECT the conductors [wires] from short circuit conditions and/or overload conditions which can cause extreme overheating of the conductors that can result in damage to the insulation and the conductors. And in worst case, the probability of a FIRE which could destroy the vehicle, house, or other structure in which the circuit is located.

When a fuse [and replacement fuses, or "tripping" Circuit Breakers] "blow," especially if it happens repeatedly, is an indication of an UNSAFE CONDITION in that circuit, usually a short.

The proper "fix" is for a qualified technician, who knows what he/she is doing, to troubleshoot the involved circuit, find and identify the defect, and make proper repair [s], BEFORE replacing the fuse again [with the properly sized fuse or before resetting a circuit breaker].

Some ignorant few will suggest installing a larger fuse or breaker to solve the problem, BUT that will only amplify the problem, not solve it. Do not follow "bad" advice and install a larger fuse in a misguided attempt to correct the problem. To install a larger fuse would almost guarantee damage to the wiring and an electrical system fire.

What is the year on a gm 350 casting number 1101213120?

In looking over the casting numbers at mortec.com, I was unable to find anything that started with 1101 or ended in 3120. Also, none of them had more than 8 numbers.

Perhaps it is not a Chevy number, or you may not have gotten the number correctly. On a Chevy v8 engine, there is a small flat surface in front of the passenger side cylinder head that contains numbers that can identify the engine and it's original application.

How do you fix an air condiosoner pump because it does not spin or work?

Do you mean that the AC clutch does not engage the compressor? Or do you mean that the AC compressor won't turn even if the clutch is engaged? If the compressor is siezed and will not turn even if the clutch is engaged, the only choice is to replace the compressor. If you can turn the compressor by hand (understand that the belt pulley will turn freely with the engine if the clutch isn't engaged) but the compressor clutch isn't engaging, it might just be out of refrigerant. There is a sensor, usually somewhere near the receiver/dryer) that detects the "low side" refrigerant pressure. Once the refrigerant pressure at the sensor drops below a specified level, the compressor will not turn on. In other words, if the compressor clutch won't engage it might just be out of refrigerant.

How do you disable the seat belt warning buzzer on a 2005 GM Sierra truck?

I got thePut it on. (Tada!) You're traveling at 50 sum mph in a 4000 lb. piece of steel, why wouldn't you want to be strapped into it. If you get knocked out of the driver's seat by an impact, you wont be able to control it further... causing more death and destruction. The warning buzzer is designed to prevent this from happening by annoying you until you finally give in and buckle up. People think it is a quick and easy way for the police to make money off of you because they shouldn't be concerned about your safety because you chose to leave it off. Heads up: Of course they don't care if you die, they are more concerned about who else you kill besides yourself. Think, vehicle without a driver in the seat. Stop being a teenager... and wear your seatbelt. An AlternativeThe buzzer won't sound if you disconnect the small black plug at the base of the driver's belt buckle (near the floor). It's a set of two black wires. If the model doesn't have a plug, simply cutting and taping each wire off will also do the trick.

How can you fix your ignition switch in your 1995 GMC sierra if your key won't turn even if you had tried with a new key being cut Can you do this at home How much will it cost to get fixed if you can?

If it has air bags, don't try. If it has a security chip on the keyswitch, don't try. If it doesn't have either, remove the steering wheel and expose the turn signal switch. You should be able to see one or more screws that hold the switch assembly in place. Remove the screws, pull the switch and take it with you to an auto parts retailer. You should be able to get a new keyswitch assembly there. Note that it's only the lock mechanism. You aren't really doing anything to the electrical.

How do you replace a headlight on a 92 gm sierra?

undo the two 3/32 bolts running thru headlamp assemblies and remove headlamp assembly to access bulb

What is a tow package?

A towing package is a provision made by the vehicle's manufacturer that slightly increases your vehicle's towing capacity over a similar vehicle w/out the package. For example: let's say a dodge caravan can tow 2000lbs without the package. If you add the package, it might be able to tow 3500lbs. These numbers aren't the actual capacities; therefore I was just using them as an example. A lot of times, a tow package consists of extra wiring harnesses, brake controllers, etc.

How do you reset change oil light in 2005 gmc canyon 5cilinder?

97 gmc vortec 350 running slightly rough at idle it has 118000 on it and looks like it has never had anything done like cap and rotor or any sensors any recommendations on what I should do first?

Cap, rotor, wires and plugs, and if they've never been changed, probably the Oxygen sensors as well.

Check the EGR valve, make sure it's opening properly and hasn't caked over with deposits. Get a new gasket before you remove the EGR valve.

A PCV valve would probably be a good idea.

Of course, make sure all of the filters are in okay.

What causes engine to miss other than plugs wires ect?

Check for hairline cracks (very hard to see) inside the distributor cap. This causes cross firing.

Can you replace a long bed with a short bed on a 1981 gmc sierra?

You can't accomplish this task and have the truck look the way you want. The long bed has a longer distance between the back of the truck cab and the rear wheel wells. Also the frame of the vehicle is longer with the long bed. If you put the short bed on with the wheel wells over the rear tires, you would have a gap of probably a few feet between the back of the truck cab to the front end of the bed. This would leave that section of the vehicle frame exposed on top along with your driveshaft, exhaust, and whatever else is mounted in that area.

Replace headlight bulb 2007 GMC sierra?

Assuming you have the new body style, on the drivers side you simply reach in and twist the headlamp 1/4 turn, the bulb will pop out. Replace and reinsert. Be careful not to touch the new bulb with your fingers, it will leave your body oil which will create a hot spot and shorten the life of the bulb. If you should touch it, clean it with rubbing alcohol.

On the passenger side, you have to pull the lid off the air cleaner which should give you enough room to reach in and perform the same process as the driver side.

Both sides are a little tight, but it is doable.

What type of rear end is best for a 1930 ford hot rod?

It would depend on what you are doing with the car, and what look your going for. A lot of guys would put some sort of IRS under there, chromed of course, for looks, and some function, I guess. Others would go more for a "period" look. Over the years guys have varied from type, to type, in search of strength, and the need for a wide selection of gear ratio's. They ran the Pontiac rear end for a while, I remember them using the Old's rear end for a while, and then Ford sewed up the market with strength, wide assortment of gear ratios, and the quick change charactoristics needed, in the 9 inch, which is to date the most popular rear end in most all forms of racing. Happy motoring, Chuck.
