John Bell Hood was a famous Confederate general in the US Civil War. An 1853 graduate of West Point, he joined the Confederate army in 1861 and quickly rose in rank to full general (four stars) by July 1864. He fought in the Battles of Gaines Mill (Seven Days Campaign), Second Manassas, Antietam, Gettysburg, Chickamauga, Atlanta, Franklin and Nashville. Hood lost use of his right arm at Gettysburg and his left leg was amputated after being wounded at Chickamauga. He assumed command of the Army of Tennessee before the fall of Atlanta and led the army on an unsuccessful invasion of Tennessee in November and December of 1864. Decisively defeated at Nashville on Dec 16, Hood retreated to Mississippi and resigned. He lived in New Orleans after the war, fathering 11 children before dying of Yellow Fever in 1879. Fort Hood Texas is named after John Bell Hood.
Where is rough road sensor in a saturn vue?
The Right Front ABS wheel speed sensor is also used as a rough road sensor to assist the knock sensor in dectecting weather there is a knock from engine or bump from the road in order to adjust the spark and fuel.
Where is the transmission dip stick located on a 2004 mercury mountaineer?
The 2004 Mercury Mountaineer does not have an automatic transmission fluid
dipstick . I know that the 2002 and newer Ford Explorer four door versions
do not have a dipstick for the automatic transmission fluid level .
About how long should it take to change the thermostat on a Saturn Vue with the V6 and AWD?
You need to drain the radiator, remove the right engine mount, take the serpentine belt off (if this is a V6 3.0) the water pump will be in the center of the block remove and replace with new one, make sure the gasket (o-ring) is in the correct position before mounting... Reinstall in reverse...
Saturn vue 03 cooling fan consistantly running?
The on-board computer senses a problem with the engine. A general fault condition is registered which keeps the cooling fan running regardless of temperature until the code can be cleared from the computer.
The general fault code means the problem is not deterministic. It happened on my 03 Vue after a slight hesitation under moderate load (going uphill with the A/C on). My mechanic replaced both fuel pumps (not cheap), and the problem was reduced but not eliminated completely.
To keep the problem from occurring too frequently:
(1) Do not buy cheap gas, (use Chevron, Shell, Mobil, 76, etc.)
(2) Do not run your tank empty
(3) Add a few gallons of 89 octane to every fill up
Mechanics charge a fee to hook up a computer and clear the code. You can do this yourself and save a few bucks by disconnecting the battery cable for a few minutes. Sometimes I need to pull the fuse (relay?) in the fuse box marked "main cooling fan".
The persistent cooling fan problem on my 03 Vue is quite intermittent - it happens to me only twice a year.
Why do the brake rotors become warped on your 2006 Saturn 6-cyl VUE after about 6000 miles?
Rotors warp when they overheat. Perhaps you're riding the brakes, have a sticking caliper or are going downhill a lot and are overheating the brakes that way. Often pulling a trailer will overheat the brakes, especially if the trailer does not have electric brakes.
If none of the above seem to apply to your situation, perhaps someone put cheaper rotors on the vehicle; some of the import rotors look the same but they warp quite easily. Also not torquing the lug nuts correctly can warp the rotors. If the lug nuts are put on too tight the rotors will warp on some vehicles.
Where is the oil filter located for the 2006 4 cylinder Saturn vue?
its on the top right side of the engine beside the intake manifold. it has a large black plastic hex fitting on top that take a special filter cartridge socket to fit the hex. found one at pepboys where all of the oil wrenches are located.
How do you replace manifold on 2004 Saturn?
Depends on which one, there is an intake manifold and an exhaust manifold.
The intake(normally aspirated)- you have to remove the air intake tube, throttle body, disconnect sensor, injector wires/vacuum hoses. Disconnect the fuel line to fuel rail, then you can unbolt the intake manifold.
The exhaust manifold- is a little hard being against the firewall, you would have to disconnect the O2 sensor wires and exhaust pipe. I would spray the exhaust studs with penetrating lube. The upper nuts you should be able to get from the top, the bottom nuts you will need to get to from under the vehicle with a swivel and extentions.
How do you turn on daytime running lights on 2004 Saturn Vue?
Daytime Running Lamps are automatic if you have the car turned on, in gear, the parking brake off and the ambient light is bright enough to not trigger the automatic switch. If however the car is on, it's in gear, the parking brake is off and the ambient light is bright and the day time running lamps are still off then you may need to just turn your headlights off. If that doesn't fix it, you may have a bad resistor, a burnt out light, a burnt out fuse or bad wiring. The first three are easy to fix. The last is not.
Can you rebuild the transmission on a 2003 Saturn Vue?
not on the 4 cylinder model, this is not a typical transmission like the one found in most vehicles. this is a special cvt transmission that resembles that of a snow mobile and works with bands and belts. i would not advise to purchase nor try to repair one of these vehicles. if you can somehow contact a saturn rep, saturn will cover half of the cost of the repairs if the vehicle has under 100k miles.
Horn won't work on 2002 Saturn vue?
My horn does not work either. My 2002 has 64000 miles so it shocked me when I bought it and the horn did not work. Get someone under the hood while you press the horn. If it clicks then it works. The horn is behind the right headlight. Remove the headlight and replace the horn. If you know how you can check the voltage to make sure it is connected properly. I had to but then I had front end damage and I did not trust the repair shop to have it connected.
How is the oil filter on a 2005 Saturn vue removed?
With a 3/8 drive ratchet. It is located at the front of the Motor just crawl under the front of the vue and look up. It is a canister type filter.
When you turn the steering wheel it makes noise on my Saturn vue?
If it is a whining noise, the vehicle is low on steering fluid or the power steering pump may be going bad. If it is a clicking noise, the CV joints may be going bad.
NOPE a Saturn vue has electric power steering and no pawer steering pumpA Saturn vue has 4 stabilizer links and they are made of plastic
Moog makes metal replacements for the front but the rear still come from the dealer and are plastic
they wear out and make noise when you turn
replace them and the noise should go away
If the DRL's flicker, then go out, It's likely the BCM. My 2002 SL2 had the same issue.
On my 03 Vue, I have found that every time a low beam burns out, the good bulb and the DRl light on the dash flash repeatedly upon putting it in gear and then it will shut the good bulb off untill the bad bulb is replaced. After that they operate as normal.
it could be the rack and pinion
What do you do if your wipers are stuck in the up position?
the park tab is bent. it is a thick piece of metal that must be bent back slightly toward the wiper motor with a hammer or plyers.
I assume this issue started when there was snow/ice on the windshield?
What type of antifreeze do you use in a Saturn vue?
GM Dexacool or any other brand that indicates it is "dexacool" compatible
What does the service engine soon light mean on a Ford F-150?
A: Code P0133 reads "Bank 1 Sensor 1 circuit slow response"; meaning the front oxygen sensor (located before catalytic converter) has slow response time to the changes in the air-fuel mixture. This could happen for many reasons, for example: bad oxygen sensor itself, bad or contaminated airflow sensor, intake manifold leak, exhaust leak, problem with the wiring, etc.
Visit your local dealer or a mechanic for proper testing procedure to pinpoint the exact cause. ---- A: The code P0102 reads "Mass air flow circuit low input". There is a certain procedure to test Mas Air Flow sensor (MAF) for proper operation. When you bring your car to a dealer, they will perform this procedure to check if the sensor is faulty. Mass Air Flow sensor failure is very common. ---- A: The code P1400 reads "DPFE Sensor Voltage Low" (Ford, Mazda). Often it's caused by bad DPFE sensor or clogged EGR passages. Visit your local Ford dealer, they will be able to help you. ---- A: P1000 is not actually a trouble code. It just means that the Readiness code has not been set yet or in other words, the engine computer hasn't completed testing certain emission control components. If there is no other problems with the car emission system, the code P1000 will disappear after driving for some time (the drive circle must include idling, stop and go traffic, acceleration and steady cruising). ---- A: Code P0171 reads "System too lean (Bank 1)" and code P0174 reads "System too lean (Bank 2)" What it means is that the engine is running lean. There are many possible problems that may cause the air-fuel mixture to be lean: Defective or contaminated airflow sensor, intake vacuum leak, dirty fuel filter, etc. There are certain tests to be performed to find the exact cause of the problem. Common problems with Ford engines are defective airflow sensors and vacuum leaks. As of my knowledge, Ford issued Technical Service Bulletin on this problem, you can check it at Alldata DIY.
I'd suggest to visit your local Ford dealer, they will be able to repair the problem properly. ---- A: Yes, overfilling the gas tank can trigger the "check engine" light to come on. Modern cars are equipped with an Evaporative System that prevents gasoline vapors from escaping into the atmosphere. When we overfill the gas tank, the excess gasoline can enter the part of the Evaporative system called Charcoal Canister and this can cause some problems. Don't fill the tank past the first click of the pump. Check your owner's manual.
