What is the proper spark plug gapping on 2001 Oldsmobile alero?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Check inside the engine compartment on the left shock tower. There should be an engine information label which if you can read (usually very small) should tell you the spark plug gap. My 2001 shows it to be 0.050 inch gap, which just set on 4 new plugs and is excellent.

How can you stop the door chime from sounding when the door is shut and the key is removed from the ignition of a 96 Ford Taurus?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It might be a fault with the anti-theft feature. Ford has had several recalls due to this. Web search for safety recall on faulty key-in-ignition chime. I had the same problem with my 1998 Ford Explorer Sport although it started chiming all by itself. On my Exlorer there is a set of 5 wires in a yellow sheath running from the ignition module to a brown connection point/harness in a very uncomfortable position directly under the steering column above the pedals. I unplugged the connection at this point. This stopped the key-in-ignition chiming but I still get the chime alerts for headlights left on, initial chime when the key is turned. The pinging, or ringing chime comes from the multifunction computer located under the dash behind the radio. Hope this help.

Another possibilityIt could also be caused by a stuck door ajar sensor.

See "Related Questions" below for much more about dealing with door sensors.

On one of my older Taurus' I simply followed the irritating noise to the source, up around in the neighborhood of the fuseblock.

There was a simple wire connection to pull off and the silence was golden.

Major information: The 90's series of Taurus's all had a weak ignition lock. Once it is worn it is possible to remove the key without the ignition switch being fully locked, when this happens the "key in" chime will sound, just as it does when you leave the key in the ignition. This has NOTHING to do with anything EXCEPT the ignition switch itself and is easily serviced by replacing the lock, a relatively simple procedure.

How do you replace windshield wipers on 2001 alero?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Easiest way: Get the entire replacement arm (not just the blade). Flip up the wiper and you should find a little tab on the under side where it's attached to the metal part of the arm. Push the tab down and everything should slide up. You will the rod with a hook at the end. The new wipers should slide into place with the hook over the top of the small plastic piece that is curved on one side and has a tab on the other. You'll hear a click when it snaps into place. That's basically it.... Of the cars I've owned, one of the easiest to replace wipers. (There are usually picture instructions in the replacement wipers if you get stuck, too.)

Where Is the ACCESSORIES aka IGNITION yellow wire for installing a new stereo into a 2004 oldmobile alero?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The wire harness for the stereo is suitable for the stereo power. The "ignition" (ACC) wire that is convenient to use for the stereo/accessories is the power wire for the fan control knob. The fan control only gets power in "accessories" or "on" therefore is as good as a remote.

__==__-- -- -- ---- -- -- -----^

(Power pin, looking at the front of the fan control plug)

(To be sure you are using the right wire (before cutting it), insert accessory wire into the front of plug and see if the stereo works with the key in the ACC position.)

What is wrong with 1999 Alero-makes a low groaning grinding noise from the front right when driving?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Sounds like it might be time to replace the front struts. They're like shock absorders, just more expensive. If the noise gets worse when you take a right hand turn, it could be the CV joint too.

How do you remove and replace front wheel bearings on a 1996 Chevy Blazer 4x4?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

you cannot replace the wheel bearings by themselves in a 4x4. they designed the hubs to have wheel bearings inside them. you must replace the whole hub assembly to get new wheel bearings. should run from 50-100 dollars a piece from a parts store, and about twice that at a dealer.

You need a 36mm socket and a breaker bar . Take the spline nut off the end of the cv shaft. I suggest doing this with the wheel still on the ground. Then jack the truck up. Remove the caliper and rotor, take out the three bolts holding in the hub. Be careful around the abs sensor. They are expensive. Installation is the reverse of removal. Torqe the spline nut to approx 180 ft.lbs.
