How do you change the fog lamp on a 2001 Oldsmobile intrigue?

*VERY EASY*.... just reach underneath the bumper, right behind the fog light. You turn it counterclockwise (if you were looking at the back of the bulb) and pull it out. It is pretty tight, so the smaller the hands the better. You might use pliers to initially loosen it, but be careful because it's ONLY PLASTIC!

What size steel line on 99 intrigue power steering?

To answer your question, use an open-end wrench or pair of calipers to measure the old one. The best approach for repairing leaking power steering pressure hoses / lines is to get the part as an assembly from the parts store. I'm an automotive professional and have had almost no success with making my own.

What happens if the anti-lock brake light and the brake light comes on in an 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue?

It is telling you that you have a problem. The anti-lock brake light is telling you that the anti-lock safety device is in the off position. There may be a blown fuse for that unit, or a switch to turn it back on, or it may need a mechanic. Look for a switch first. If the brake light is on all the time, you may have a cylinder leaking brake fluid. There is a switch that is thrown if the breaking system gets out of adjustment that way, that is if one side gets more break fluid than the other.

How do i turn theService engine light off on a 2000 Olds intrigue?

Reset the error codes in the OBD computer. Autozone will read the error code(s) out for you for free and reset the OBD2 in your vehicle. The Service Engine Soon (SES) light came on because a sensor somewhere detected an out of tolerance condition. If this happens, the on-board diagnostics stores an error code (or possibly multiple codes), which illuminates the "Service Engine Soon" light. Resetting the codes will turn off the light, but may be only temporary. If the out of tolerance condition recurs, the code will again be stored and the SES light will light. You need to correct the underlying problem, which the code will help indicate. Some conditions, such as a random misfire, will clear on their own after 5 or 10 engine starts without the misfire. If this starts happening, it is time for a tune up - new spark plugs, fuel filter, air filter, etc. Editted the above, and added the following... Depending on your area, you can go to your local AutoZone, and they can sometimes reset your light. But in some areas, laws wont allow them too. My local AutoZone is like this, but if you hold their little code scanner, and ask them which buttons to press to reset it, its you that reset it and not them. Some will do this, but not all. Disconnecting the battery on a 1996 or newer vehicle no longer works for GM.

How do you know your alternator is bad on 98 Oldsmobile intrigue?

Almost all of the local parts stores here offer free testing of alternators.. O'Reilly, Murray's, Autozone, Advance, just to name a few.

How do you remove the door panel and replace the window motor on a 1991 Mercedes 500 SL?

The question you ask is too involved for a proper answer. You need to go to a car parts store, and get a repair manual for your car. They cost about $16.00 Or, go to a Public Library.

Tim should check the repair manual section a little more carefully, they don't have manuals for Mercedes... All of the available manuals, including the Factory Service Manual from Mercedes (2 Cd's) are all but useless.

The factory service manual from Mercedes doesn't give you any information about how the cars come apart... I have worked as a mechanic (Not Mercedes) while I was getting my Mechanical Engineering degree... They are nice cars, but they are unique in many respects. They do not come apart like most other cars on the planet. The door panels do not snap in as every other car in the world does... You have to lift the door panel up to release it... What you have to do first in order to lift up the door panel varies...

Mercedes typically likes to have no visible fasteners if it is at all possible, so figuring out how to get the door panel off without damaging it may be no simple task.

I have seen responses on the net stating "Remove the two screws holding the armrest"

Please... I haven't ever seen a Mercedes with screws through the armrest... I've only owned a couple, but neither one had any visible screws in the interior of the car... Not one visible screw. The only fasteners visible from the inside of the car were the heads of the bolts holding the door to the frame.

Tim should stick to giving advice to people working on their Chevy or their Toyota... Those cars are simple to work on.

Where is the fusebox in a 2000 Oldsmobile intrigue?

If it is the same as a 1998, there are TWO(2) fuseboxes.

If your at the front of the car looking at the engine the drain plug is located on the lower right side of the radiator on the side facing the engine. The plug is a white plastic wing nut like screw.

What causes the add coolant light to stay on even when you've filled the coolant up in the coolant holder?

Coolant sensor is shot. Replace with new one.

AnswerThe reed switch may be stuck. My 98 Grand Am coolant tank ran dry last week when my lower intake manifold gasket started to leak. Fixed the leak and refilled the tank only to see the coolant light still on. Tapped the switch/sensor on the bottom OS the tank with a rubber mallet so the magnetic float could loosen up and float back up. Sure enough, turned on the ignition and light was out.

How many miles can you put on a 3.5 v6?

I have 82K on mine so far. Runs fine, but uses about 1qt of oil every 1000 miles or so. No major issues in the 82K. My kid used this car for a while, so it had a mix of city/hwy driving. Had to replace the CKP sensor once, and a few times the car wouldn't start right up, which caused a misfire code. Engine controller "fixed itself" (problem was intermittent) and usually is fine. All the weird quirks I have had with this car - and it sounds like from this and other boards they are common issues - flickering headlights, misbehaving climate control system, temperamental power windows, poor quality trim and paint. I doubt I'll keep it much longer, so I'll venture to guess that it may last another 50K or so before it self-destructs.

Answer3-400K if you do regular oil changes 5- 7000 km intervals

I'm hoping for 400Kmi out of mine before lockup.

The light flicker on mine seems to be a glare point triggering the lights to turn off (thinking it is daylight). It seems many people posting to the web sites are not putting much thought into this issue.

Thanks for the input on the cranking issue.

I have a 2000 olds and I have 186,000.00 mile and still running just now needs a new aldinator in the past a new tranie but that was previous owner but I LOVE the car!!!!
