Ha. good luck with this job. It is NOT fun. Ive done it myself. You have to pull off that black plastic piece that goes across bottom of windshield and at the back of hood. The motor is back in the corner, on the driver side of car. Its not easy to do. Be prepared for a long job, probably some cut hands. You`ll have to have fairly small hands to really get a hold of this job.
How do you install window motor in a 2000 firebird?
Hi
I just did mine today and it took longer than expected.
I used this photo guide from www.FirebirdNation.com, but...
http://www.firebirdnation.com/pdf/windowreplacement.pdf
http://www.firebirdnation.com/pdf/windowreplacement2.pdf
below is my experiences with it-sometimes they aren't clear so here goes:
Know that your hands will likely be scratched up and greasy, and this is not a run of the mill fix.
- The problem with these motors I believe, is that there is some sort of thermal fuse component that over time, causes the motor to become unresponsive. I heard on a forum that they only last about 5 years, but mine is a 94 and just gave out this year.
- I'm assuming that 2000 is just like 1994 in the sense that they are both 4th gen, and the door panels look the same as well.
- You will first need to purchase a replacement motor from somewhere.
- Start with the window completely up.
- Disconnect the car battery
- Take off your door panel, do not be overly forceful, this is easy.
(see www.firebirdnation.com/pdf/doorpanel.pdf if you need help)
- Tape/clamp your window so there is minimal vertical movement.
- Take off your midrange speaker for a lot of extra room to work.
- Take off plastic water seal (Will put back on again too)
- Unplug your motor assembly by reaching unto the speaker cavity hole. I had to feel it, there is a clip that once pushed, is easy to come out.
- You will need to punch out and then drill out the rivets holding in your window motor/regulator assembly in the door cavity. Do not make a bigger hole than necessary, there should be 4.
- Take the whole motor/regulator assembly out via the cavity near the back latch of the door. There are 3 wheels that need to come out one at a time. They are guided on two long tracks. You may also need to do some disassembly with a 10 mm socket to some parts to be able to slide the window motor/regulator assembly all the way out. I had to take off the vertical track guide near the latch of the door. Regardless, the assembly must come out of the door.
- Once out, you need to drill a safety hole in the large arc-gear and the center panel thingy, for the purpose of putting a decent sized bolt in there. This is to prevent the circular spring from taking your arm off once you take off the motor part. The motor's nine teeth prevent the arc-gear from moving.
- You will need to punch out and drill out the rivets holding the window motor in place. Do this after you have installed the safety bolt as discussed. Greasy, huh?
- Now take your new window motor and re-rivet it inplace of the old one. (I had to drill yet a bit out to get my rivets to fit. These are different sized rivets than what holds it in the door! Riveter-grip-guns are about 25-30 dollars, and a box of rivets are about 5 dollars. I suggest seeing the correct size you need before buying a box).
- Once the three rivets are in place, you may disassemble your safety bolt. The tension of the spring may have shifted your safety holes a bit from where you originally drilled them. If you don't realign them you won't be able to line up the rivet holes back to the door like they were originally, and it's a pain. What you can do is reconnect your battery and window switch, as well as the connector to your new window motor, and adjust it right there before you put it back in the door. This will test your new motor right before your eyes. Try the best you can to line up your safety holes as they were, with your window button. Once they are aligned as before you may carefully put the assembly back into place, which is going to be a minor pain. Now would be a great time to grease your window tracks by the way.
- Your window may have settled during your operation. A second person is helpful in holding up the window, as the tracks will shift with it. This is all crucial in lining up the rivet holes in the door, so that you can re-rivet them. It is not really feasible to use bolts here, because only one side is accessible.
- Once your rivets are in place, start the reconstruction process. Don't forget to connect your window motor electrically.
- Hope this helps, and good luck!
If you bypass the VATS, it won't care about the type of key at all. It will use any type of key as long as it's correctly cut.
Engine firing order on a 1997 Pontiac firebird 3.8?
The very best thing you can do is goto www.autozone.com and you will be able to sign up and get online Electronic manuals for just about any car --- currently there is no cost -- the manuals will show you everything from engine rebuilds to torque settings.
Can you replace a firebird v6 engine with a firebird v8 engine?
Yes you can but you must first make a few modifications. You will have to make sure that you have the computer and wiring from the v8, motor mounts in some cases, might as well get the transmission. From there you will have different things going on for different years. You may not even have to do anything I said depending on what specific year the car and the engine are.
I have a 200 firebird also and this has happened to me several times. What it is, is a problem with the igition lock cylinder. When you turn the key, all the accessories come on but the motor doesn't even try to turn. It's because even though you have turned the key as far as you can, the key for some reason is getting caught on accessories. It usually will start eventually. I've had mine replaced several times.
Also bear in mind that one of the causes of ignition lock degradation is having a lot of weight on the key. If you have a very large keyring, consider using a separate keyring with just the car key on it.
#2 Hello, this is randall if it clicks at all it could be starter sylynoid,if dash lights go dim after the click you may have bad or dirty connection at batt,eng ground or starter check all terminals. someone.
Is it a standard or automatic transmission? If it is a standard it could be the safety switch on the clutch pedal that is malfunctioning.
How do you fix a turn signal that will turn on but not flash on a 1996 Firebird?
When my Firebird was doing the same thing I tried a new bulb and it didn't work. So I bought a new rear pigtail and put that in. Works like a champ now.
...Or replace the flasher unit - about $5 at Wal-Mart. Usually located on the driver's side under the dash; silver, round, three prongs, about an inch tall.
when that happened to me, i simply reversed the bulb i was putting in.
two silver beads on bottom bulb insert....like, batts...+ and -... try turning the bulb,
before putting it in.
