Plymouth Reliant

To open the trunk of a Plymouth Reliant K from inside, locate the trunk release lever, typically found on the driver's side near the floor or on the lower dashboard. Pull the lever to release the trunk latch. If the lever is missing or malfunctioning, you may need to fold down the rear seats (if equipped) to access the trunk area directly. Always consult the owner's manual for specific instructions related to your model.

To replace the speedometer cable on a 1988 Plymouth Reliant LE, first, disconnect the negative battery terminal for safety. Remove the instrument cluster by unscrewing the bolts and carefully pulling it out. Detach the old speedometer cable from the back of the cluster and the transmission, then install the new cable by reversing the process, ensuring it is securely connected at both ends. Reassemble the dashboard and reconnect the battery to complete the installation.

The Reliant Robin typically uses standard 7-inch round headlights, which means that many aftermarket headlights designed for classic cars can fit. Brands like Hella, Cibie, and Lucas often offer compatible options. It's essential to check the specific model year and any wiring requirements to ensure a proper fit and functionality. Always consult the vehicle's manual or a specialist for the best match.

On a 1988 Plymouth Reliant, the knock sensor is typically located on the engine block, near the cylinder head. It is usually found on the lower part of the engine, often on the driver's side. To access it, you may need to remove certain components for better visibility. If you're having trouble locating it, consulting a repair manual or a service guide for the specific engine type can be helpful.

To unlock a stuck passenger side door, first check if the child safety lock is engaged; if so, try to disengage it from the driver's side. If the door is still stuck, gently pull on the handle while pressing the unlock button or using the key fob. If it remains stuck, use a lubricant like WD-40 on the door latch mechanism, and try to jiggle the door while pulling the handle. If these methods fail, consult a professional locksmith to avoid damaging the door.

It is a dot, dash, line, or arrow that is used to "time an engine".

As Reliant Robin is not classed as a car but a tricycle you do not need to have a qualified driver with you.

There are actually two different devices that fit this description. The sensor that runs the guage is directly above the oil filter on the passenger side of the engine. This part has a conecter that looks like the threads of a bolts. The sensor for the computer is connected to the same housing for the thermostat. This part has a connecter with a two prong plug.

From what the Fuel Pressure Regulator instructions said all you have to do is open the gas tank lid, though there will still always be some pressure so keep a rag aound.

Sounds like your oxygen sensor is bad

A timing belt implies you are working on the 2.2 or 2.5 liter engine. The 2.6 liter engine has a timing chain.

If you are working on the timing belt, I would recommend getting a repair manual for your car. If you are attempting to re-tension an old belt, you should consider installing a new belt, but be prepared to unbolt one of the engine mounts. Having said that, there is a tensioner on the firewall side of the engine, which is hidden under a plastic cover. Depending on how many accessories you have, this cover is probably one of the more difficult items to remove in one piece from your engine. Once exposed, have a friend help you loosen and re-tension the belt (approximately 5/16-inch deflection measured half-way between the camshaft sprocket and the tensioner pulley).

Noisy lifters in 2.2 and 2.5 sohc engines are usually indicative of a worn camshaft, as many were replaced under warranty.

This switch is located on the very front of the transmission. To see it you'll need to get underneath the car, look right behind the rad support panel. On my car there is a metal cover or plate, limiting access to it. This cover appears easy to remove ie; some bolts.

My Plymouth reliant has a 2.5 4-cyl. there is also a 2.2 4-cyl. in the early models.
