How does the wiring work for pop-up headlights in a 1986 Pontiac Firebird?

99.9% of the problems associated with headlight problems for you guys is NOT related to the nylon gear failure! You guys are fortunate in that your problem can likely be fixed with less than a buck's worth of supplies from a common place such as Home Depot or any hardware store. In the 4th gens, the shaft which turns to raise and lower the headlight is connected to the gear via a rubber piece which sets in the gear itself or, in the case of brass gears with no rubber, the shaft is actually connected via tabs to the brass gear. In the 3rd generation Firebirds, this actual physical connection doesn't exist. Instead, in each light are located three hard "pucks". These pucks provide the mechanical connection between the nylon gear and the shaft which raises or lowers the headlight. Over time, these pucks will actually disintegrate into small granules and dust! The very good news for you guys is these pucks are nothing special. You can use just about anything you can get your hands on that is the proper size and will fit in the areas these three pucks "used" to be located at. I recommend using a thick rubber hose or tubing of the proper diameter and length (1/2" outside diameter and about 1/2" in length) but I have heard of one guy who didn't want to go out and buy anything but had a hot glue stick laying around so sliced off some pieces of that instead! I don't recommend that though since I don't know how long the glue stick will last in there :) Instead, slice three 1/2" pieces off your hose/tubing and drop them in place where your pucks used to be located. Once you do this you can put your light back together and you'll be good to go! Total cost for this fix is about $0.12 or there abouts :)

take out your headlight motor and open it up. If you see a bunch of dust and granules in there you will probably also find your gear to be just fine and all you need to do is perform the fix I mention above. Good luck and consider yourself lucky you don't have the expense the 4th generation guys have!

I found this thru a website and just cut and pasted it for everyone to use. I am going to try it this weekend and I hope it helps you. The website is

How do you change a 2003 Buick rendezvous headlight?

Several things to remember: 1) The entire housing is plastic, and easy to break; 2) DON'T pull the tab all the way up (see manual), and 3) there is ALSO a snap-in-place post-and-socket holding the assembly in place that's completely hidden, and is EASILY BROKEN. Don't twist the housing too much.

its located in the woners manual but you remove a wing nut on the fender pull the wite slider on the back of the headlight and pull it out takes less than 3 min

2004 buick rendezvous

* No way to remove the assembly without breaking at least one plastic mount on each assembly. Once you do that you can change the bulbs and secure the assembly with the white tabs and the wing nut screws. I did call the dealer service center to ask how to remove it. My best guess is they would have to break them out as well and replace the bulbs.

Why is your turn signal blinking quicker than normal how do you fix that?

usually if it is flashing faster, that is your cars way of telling you that a bulb is burned out

You have a 1978 trans are you just had the motor built 400 and you got it in the car and was filling up the fluids and it is steaming out the left head gasket how do you change it and what do you need?

To replace the Head Gasket you will need: Head Gasket Water pump gasket Intake Gaskets Hi-temp RTV to seal the valley pan Torque wrench Gasket scraper This will be long but hang on!! Ensure that the engine is at TDC. This will make setting the timing much easier later on. Step one: Remove the plug wires, vaccuum lines, electrical wires, radiator hoses, heater hoses, throttle cable, trans kickdown cable (if equipped), water temp gauge, from the intake and carb. Also remove the valve covers BE SURE TO LABEL WHERE EVERYTHING GOES!!!!! Step two: Remove the header/manifold bolts, the gasket, and the bottom header/manifold bolts (those attaching the exhaust to the header/manifold), remove the plugs from the head (only to ensure you don't break them, and then move the header/manifolds out of the way as much as possible (no need to pull them out) Step Three: Remove the bolts that secure the intake to the heads, as well as the bolts that secure the water pump to the eninge (there are also two bolts that attach to the water pan) remove the water pump, and then the intake. (they are 7/16"), then double check to ensure all electrical connectors, throttle cable, vaccuum lines etc. are removed from the carb and intake. Then remove the intake, you may have to pry ever so slightly in order to get it loose. Step Four: You should now be able to remove the two bolts securing the valley pan (1/2" or 9/16" usually). you will have to carefully pry it loose, as the valley pan is probably sealed with RTV. NOTE: ENSURE THAT YOU DO NOT DROP ANYTHING DOWN INTO THE OIL PAN AFTER YOU REMOVE THE VALLEY PAN!!!! Step Five: Now loosen the nuts that hold the rocker arms down. These bolts only need to be loosend enough to allow you to remove the pushrods. Once all rocker arms are loosend then remove the pushrods, make sure that you remember the order in which they were removed. Step Six: Now you are ready to remove the head. Loosen and remove the bolts holding the head to the block, NOTE: the bolts vary in length, make sure that you remember where they go!. With all the bolts removed pry up on the corner of the head to remove it. When you remove the head, there will be antifreeze that will leak everywhere. also note the location of the two plastic keepers on the gasket Step Seven: Clean the heads. Use a gasket scraper to remove any of the old gasket. be careful not to gouge the head, just remove the gasket. Do the same for the engine block. Also clean up the mess left over from removing the head, to include removing all of the old gaket material Step Eight: Reassembly. With everything cleaned up, place the new gasket on the engine block, make sure that you insert the plastic keepers as well. Then set the head back on the engine, and reinsert the bolts. Follow the recommended steps to torque the head bolts. Reinsert the push rods, and tighten the rocker arm bolts to specs. Apply RTV to the valleypan, and allow it to become takcy before setting it back on the engine, and tightening the bolts. Next install the intake and gaskets, as well as the exhaust manifolds (beware the exhaust manifolds can be a pain to install). Reinstall the water pump as well. Tighten all bolts, reconnect the wires and vaccuum lines, and reinstall the valve covers. Step Nine: Setting the timing. The engine should already be at TDC. Reinstall the distributor and note the location of the rotor. The nearest point on the cap will be #1. From there install the rest of the plug wires and then the cap. Step Ten: Start the enigne, and look for leaks, be prepared to shut off the engine just in case. Finally adjust the timing, and idle speed, and you should be good to go!!!

What is better a Ls1 or a Ws6 firehawk?

These two designations aren't really related. The LS1 is an engine designation. A pretty good one too. It will be a fuel injected 350. The WS6 is a designation for the Trans Am that was started in 1978. It included quick ratio steering, larger anti-sway bars, better springs and shocks, etc. In some cases through the years it may have included a higher performance engine. I've not really kept up with the newer ones. I would think the LS1 equipped car would also have the WS6 suspension....but you'd need the build sheet to know for sure.

How many 1989 Pontiac turbo trans ams were made?

Answer

00000000000000000000 never mad a single turbo trans am


WRONG....They absolutely did make them. They were the same engine as the Buick GN. There were 1555 made from what I can find. There of course, were also the 80-81 Turbo T/A. So proclaiming there were never any turbo T/As made shows your ignorance. Perhaps you should know what you are talking about before so absolutely claiming what you obviously have no clue about.
