How do you adjust emergency brake on Saturn L200?

There is a boot that attaches at the base of the parking brake lever. Remove the boot by prying it gently with a flathead screwdriver. Once it is free slide it up and you will see a 10mm nut attached under the parking brake handle. You can tighten this to your liking with a deepwell 10mm socket. I'm not sure how to explain how tight you should make this by be careful not to overtighten as it will engage your rear brakes continuously and that's no good for many reasons.

How do you change the third brake light in a 2002 L200 Saturn?

The plastic housing is relatively easy to remove, mine came straight down but I had to work it around a little.

Once the housing is off, you'll need to find replacement bulbs. They are a little different, and if you buy them from a dealer, they're expensive; but you can buy the bulb and an adapter from O'Reilly or Auto Zone. As I remember, there are 6 bulbs. I would replace them all once you start. Just get it done with and you won't need to worry about it for another 10 years.

See sources and related links below for light bulb information.

Can someone tell you where the thermostat is located on a 2002 Saturn L200 the car has intermittent heat although the temp gauge stays the same maybe low coolant?

Why is there water in the front floor boards of my 2002 Saturn L200?

possible leaking heater core

My sister has a 2003 l200I pulled the carpet up. Looks like the water wascoming from calking cracked on the inner fender well.Its a hairline crack.In the engine compartment. Its hard to get your hand in there. I put silicone on my hand and placed it above and below the calking and anywhere else in that area.I think I got it this time. Previosly I removed plastic from behind windshield wipers and sealed gutter area. Removed and blew out AC drain. Also removed door panel and sealed.Those three areas were not the culprits. The inner carpet is like a sponge. I would pull the carpet up. Must have squeezed out at least half a gallon of water.

Where is the fuse for the auto seat belts?

In the fuse box!!! Yes, there is more than one fuse box, (underdash and underhood). But, if you remove the cover to the fuse boxes, assuming they are there. There should be a description of the circuit that each fuse is attached to. Or, find a wiring diagram for the seat belt circuit that is for your year integra. For a factory manual, look for an ETM (electrical troubleshooting manual). Sometime you can find wiring diagrams (schematics) online.

Where are the cabin air filters-02 Saturn L200?

take the glovebox out and it is sitting behind it

Alternative answerCheck under the hood, behind the engine. Along the back side of where the hood normally rests is a grille. Just barely in front of the grille is a black plastic door that lifts up. CAREFULLY lift it (it breaks easily) to reveal the cabin air filter.

How do you know if your car starter is going bad?

It will give a heavy dashing sound

Another Answer:Well, actually...

Often a starter gives no warning, but when it does, below are a few possibilities.

  • The solenoid does not engage. You may hear the starter "click", but if the contact has failed, the starter may not operate.
  • It may operate more slowly, even though you've tested the battery and know that it is functioning properly.
  • It may become intermittent, with the starter occasionally spinning freely and not engaging the engine.

Unfortunately, some of the indications of a failing starter are also the indication of a failing battery. Have the battery and charging system tested at a local auto parts retailer that provides that service. OReilly and Auto Zone will both test your battery and charging system, without removing anything from the vehicle, for free, provided that they aren't overly busy, and can afford the luxury of sending an associate out to your car.

What valve do you put freon in?

Assuming you are talking about a 96 or newer 134a system; There are two valves that enter the system. Both are on the metal lines coming off of the compressor. They are different sizes and covered with small black screw off caps. When you get a recharge kit it will only connect to the suction side valve (smaller of the two) which is where you charge the system.

1998 Saturn sl2 electric window on passenger side will not roll up?

I have this same Saturn. The driver's side rear window failed several years ago. The passenger's side failed tonight. Without taking the door apart to look it SEEMS like the window has simply separated from the track. Perhaps there is a pin or clip that comes of?? If you help the window up manually and roll it up at the same time you can get it to lock into the up possition. I am hoping someone else will have a more complete answer.

How do you replace the number 4 cylinder coil pack?

How to Change Spark Plugs on 4.6 & 5.4 Liter By Dave West I've replaced plugs on quite a few 5.4Ls now (the 4.6L with plug wires is similar) and once you've done a set they really are not as bad as they look. Contrary to what some people will say, you don't have to remove the fuel rails. The Coil on Plug (COP) assemblies will come out past the fuel rail. I take an old piece of seat foam and put it on top of the radiator support to the engine to allow me to lay on it without hurting my tummy. It makes the job way less painful. Start by removing the cover over the throttle body (the black plastic cover that says "5.4" on it). There are three 10mm head bolts that hold it on. Next remove the air intake tube from the throttle body to the air filter housing. You loosen the hose clamps at either end of it; disconnect the connector on the AT (about half way up the air intake hose), the pull out the small hoses that go into the air intake tube near the throttle body. Next remove the brace from the power steering reservoir to thermostat housing. There are three 8mm or 5/16" head screws that hold it on. Now you should be able to see the COPs. To remove the COPs you can use a 7mm or 9/32" wrench or nut driver or socket, extension and ratchet or all of the above. If you turn the fuel injectors to the side it will give you more room to work with the COPs. Unplug the connector on each COP by pressing the tab in and pulling on the connector. After you're done that just twist and pull the COPs out. A couple of the COPs on the driver's side and #4 on the passenger's side are a bit hard to get at but with some patience they will come out. After you've removed the COPs take a blow gun and blow out the spark plug holes. Don't be surprised if there is rust and junk in them. Next you can actually remove the plugs. Use a combination of extensions, swivels (universal joints), sockets and ratchets to get at them. Whatever works best for you is good. On the harder ones to get at I usually use a socket with a 4" extension, then a swivel, then a long extension, then the ratchet. The plugs are way down in the hole which is why I use the extension then the swivel. The swivel makes it easier to clear the firewall. Set the gap on the new plugs to whatever it says on your emissions decal on the radiator support....usually .052-.056". Apply a small amount of anti-seize to the threads only on the spark plug. You can use a piece of vacuum hose or fuel hose over the end of the plug to get it started in the hole. Carefully start the plugs in their holes. If you can't get them most of the way in by hand with the hose take a look and see why not. Cross threaded plug threads are no fun! The plugs are to be tightened to 13 lb-ft. which is just hand tight with a short ratchet. Don't over tighten them! The threads in the aluminum heads have enough problems as it is. After that just put everything back together in reverse order. Apply some dielectric grease to the plug boots as well to help seal them. I've done enough of these that I can replace the plugs in approximately 45 minutes but don't be surprised if the first time you do it takes a few hours.
