How do you replace headlight bulb on echo?
Open the hood and locate the wires going to the back of the headlight assembly. Unplug this connector from the lightbulb. Then pull the rubber cover off (don't unscrew it, just pull it off). There is a wire retaining spring holding the bulb in place underneath the rubber cover. You must push the loose side toward the headlight and lift it up to release this wire and then remove the old bulb. Put the new bulb in (orient so that the plugs are on top and sides, but no bottom). replace the retaining wire and rubber cover. Plug the connector back in.
How do you replace exhaust pipe gasket for a 1997 K1500 43 V-6?
If you are talking about where the manifold meets the heads that is a lot of work. If you are talking about where there are two flnges pretty easy. There are usually three bolts holding together. I would replace bolts, nuts, and washers if posibble. Just take the nuts off, then you need something big to pry bake the exhaust, a really big screwdriver works good. Remove your old gasket and clean the surface as best you can. Get a new gasket and use some silicone. I forget who makes it but when you go to an auto parts store they make a bunch of different types of silicone. This one is copper, it looks orange and has to be high temperature. Apply this stuff to bith sides of gasket, reinstall. Install bolts and tighten. Let sit for a little while.
How do you change front brakes of Toyota Echo Hatchback 2004?
Jack up front corner (I used a jack applied to the square cross section tube (aka frame rail) just behind the front wheel and ~ 2 feet in. Remove front wheel. Get a 14mm ratchet and remove the two bolts that hold the outer part of the caliper to the fixed part of the caliper. Pull (or gently tap with a hammer) the outer part of the caliper off. Rotate and pull the two 14mm pins and rubber boots from the fixed caliper, clean then lube with permatex copper antiseize (install boot first then the pin. Remove the brake pads. Transfer the thin metal inner shim and outer shim holders from the old pands to the new. Install the new pads and reinstall the outer part of the caliper (you may need a c clamp to push the caliper's piston back.) Note, the one pad with the protruding metal tab is on the inside and the tab is on the highest point.
What are some problems that the Toyota Echo 2001 has when the engine light is on?
Its usually an emissions thing (bad O2 sensor). But don't guess, just get the code read, you can get it read for free from almost any major auto parts store, then google the code for an answer.
If a Toyota Echo has no star wheel how do you retract the new brake shoes when replacing them?
there is a self adjuster on the front shoe, you can open and the opposing part will retract towards shoe. There is also a rubber plug that will let you do the same with the drum on. Looks like an adjustment hole towards fron of backing plate.
Where is thermostat on Toyota Echo?
The thermostat is located under the alternator on the engine block. Just follow the lower radiator hose to the engine block and is held in place by plastic housing with two 10mm nuts.
Where is ACC Fuse 15a change 2001 Toyota Echo?
There is a fusebox inside the car on the driver's side under the dash (near where the driver's left knee would be if driving the car), you have to remove the plastic panel that is at the back of the storage comparment. Look for the 15amp accessory fuse in this box.

01 echo oxygen sensor replacement?
There are two oxygen sensors, the one closer to the engine (before the catalytic converter) is typically the one that goes bad first. This one is also easier to replace. You need a small flathead screwdriver, follow the wires from the sensor to where it plugs into a socket - its a tight space, you will need a flashlight. There is a little plastic tab on the connector piece that you must pry UP with the small screw driver, then you can pull the plug out of the socket. After that, you can use an open end wrench or adjustable wrench to unbolt the old O2 sensor from the exhaust. This can require a lot of force, so a breaker bar may be necessary, I also recommend using penetrating oil. It is highly recommended that you put high temp anti-seize compound on the threads of the new O2 sensor before installing it. Bolt it in and plug it into the socket and you are done. The job is slightly more complicated if you are reusing the old wiring harness - you will need to cut the wires from the old O2 sensor and solder the connector/plug piece onto the leads of the new O2 sensor, make sure you match the length of the original (you don't want a lot of extra slack).
The post catalytic converter O2 sensor is considerably more work, but not that much more difficult. Unfortunately the wires run under the passenger seat to a plug under the center console. You actually have to remove the passenger seat to replace the O2 sensor, but its not that big of a job really. Full instructions can be found here:

How do you Replace Oxygen sensors on 2001 Toyota Echo?
Get under the car, follow the exhaust line until you see the O2 sensor (toward the front of the car), unplug the plastic snap in connector by inserting a tiny flat head screwdriver into the top portion of the connector and prying the plastic tab UP. Once unplugged, you can remove the old sensor with an adjustable wrench, they can be difficult to remove, you may need penetrating oil and a hammer to whack the wrench and/or a breaker bar for leverage. In theory, its a very easy job. Be sure to use some kind of high temp anti-seize on the threads of the replacement O2 sensor so that it is easier to remove in the future.
ONLY use OEM (Denso) O2 sensors for the replacement, you can get them for around $35. Other brands will often cause your check engine light to go off intermittently.
I am not 100% sure but i am quite confident that it is the cell that lets humans have empathy, self awareness and forgiveness.
In 2006 it was found that whales and dolphins have spindle cells. Another animal that has spindle cells is apes and gorillas.
New Answer.
Spindle cells are only found in cancerous tumors. They have a very unique appearance and are characteristic of a specific type of dysplasia which is very rare in caner patients.
Spindle cells have an atypical spindle shape, have elongated nuclei and ropes of collagen. They arise from abnormal mitosis, cell division, that leads to the development of the cancerous tumor.
Spindle cell tumors start in the skins epithelial cells or lining of the internal organs. As the cancer progresses it can be spread to other areas.
(The above answer relates to the spindle neurons.)
What size is the rear wiper blade on 2002 Toyota Echo?
The rear wiper is not listed in aftermarket application catalogs. This usually means you have to get a Toyota replacement at the dealer and they'll be able to look up size and the correct part number.
Front wiper options are available aftermarket - see related link.
Why does your Toyota Echo beep when you turn it on?
A door isn't shut all the way or door closed sensor is not functioning properly?
How do you change a blower motor on a 2003 Toyota Echo?
This relates to your question but does not answer it. Call Toyota's 800 number and register a complaint about the premature death of your blower motor. It appears to be quite common with all the Toyota Echos. Enough complaints and they may start reimbursing people for this common failure.
Where are the spark plugs located on a 2003 Toyota Echo?
On top of the engine, but you have to remove the cover to see them.
How do you replace the catalytic converter on a 2001 Toyota Echo?
It's really not too hard, which is good since the dealer wanted $1400 just for the parts alone last time I checked. You have several options:
1) Cut out the old cat with a grinder or sawzall and weld in a new one, this option is the most work, but cost could be as low as $45. To do this right, you should remove the cat assembly from the car, cut out the cat, loosely attach the new cat, reinstall the whole assembly, spot weld the new cat, remove the entire assembly again, finish the weld, reinstall the assembly.
2) Take it to a mechanic that specializes in this type of work and have them do #1 for you. Cost could be around $300 to $500.
3) This is the option I would recommend - buy a new assembly that is a direct fit with new cat. Remove the old assembly and bolt in the new one, its a pretty easy job that takes about an hour (longer if you are doing it for the first time or if anything gives you trouble). Cost of a replacement assembly with new cat can be as low as $245 (cheapest place to buy online is partsgeek,
Part Number: 8042-05017868). Make sure you buy the mounting kit as well
Part Number: 8042-05120662 for $11 this comes with a gasket that is essential and you might as well change out the other parts from the kit considering it is so inexpensive. You will not need the nuts that come with the kit though.
To remove the assembly, you should start by removing the two O2 sensors. The O2 sensors can be removed with a pipe wrench or a special O2 sensor socket (available free to borrow from most big chain parts stores). For the front 02 sensor, you could just unplug it and take it out later after you have the entire assembly off the car or remove it from the assembly now to avoid possibly damaging it. Either way, you will have to remove the back O2 sensor from the assembly now. If your O2 sensors have more than 80k miles on them, now might be a good time to replace them.
Next remove the 2 bolts at the engine exhaust header, you will need a socket extension for this (if you don't have one, you can get a set of 3 for $8 from harbor freight, Item #39193) and probably a breaker bar to get it started (I slip a hollow metal pipe over the end of my socket wrench to give me more leverage). I highly recommend spraying lubricant on those bolt threads before you begin (deep creep is my favorite). Access the bolts from under the car, just a bit back from where the front O2 sensor plugs into its socket, follow the pipe from the cat and you will find the two bolts holding it on. Use the new bolts (from mounting kit) to figure out what size socket to use. After those are out, remove the mounting bracket from where the cat assembly attaches to the muffler assembly (toward the back rear passenger side tire). If that bolt is badly rusted, you may have to cut it out with a grinder and replace. There is a gasket in this joint as well that should be replaced, it is inexpensive. You may need to bang this joint a bit with a rubber mallet to get the two parts separated after you remove the bracket holding it together.
After both ends are detached, you will notice the assembly is still being held up on the car by some rubber blocks with holes in them. You have to slip the metal retainer bars from the cat assembly out of those rubber blocks, this is tricky the first time you do it, but not a big deal once you get the idea. I always shoot a little lubricant into the rubber channel and over the end of the metal part that has to be pulled though. I then use a small screwdriver (or awl), shove it into the rubber tunnel and pull the metal bracket through. There are four of these in total.
Once you have the assembly completely removed from the car, you can repeat the above in reverse. HOWEVER, remove and replace the exhaust header gasket FIRST, and make sure it is carefully pushed all the way down the pipe it goes over before you try to hang the new cat assembly. This is a very tight fit, be careful not to damage the new gasket (you can always get another one from local parts store for about $5).
Hang the new assembly on the rubber hangers. Then install the new bolts at the exhaust header. You will have to tighten these down very far to prevent all exhaust leakage from this joint. Try to tighten them evenly, doing a little on one bolt then a little on the other, etc. until done.
Clean the muffler joint completely removing all remnants of the old gasket, and add the new gasket. Reattach the muffler joint. This can be difficult if your replacement part does not exactly match the OEM part which has a small groove in it (look closely at the original part end and your new part end). You may need to do a small amount of sanding or grinding and a lot of hammering with a rubber mallet to get the new cat assembly into the the muffler assembly. Once in, add the bracket over the joint.
Realistically, the first time you do this, it could take 3-5 hours. If you were experienced and nothing went wrong, it could be done in half an hour.
When do you need to change your timing belt in your 2003 Toyota Echo?
There is no timing belt to change. One of many reasons the echo is such a great car! It has a timing chain, and the timing chain has NO scheduled replacement time. The general rule for timing belts on Japanese cars is 60,000 miles. I do not know the specific mfg. suggestions. I will tell you that a broken timing belt at highway speeds usually results in a bunch of bent valves and scored pistons. $1000.00 + in damage. So do not delay!!!!! Here is a maintenance chart. I do not see timing belt anywhere. http://www.villatoyota.com/en/service/maintenance/index.spy?cmd=menu&menuid=536&make=Toyota&model=Echo&trim=&year=2000 Y-THINK-Y
How do you know it is surging? The most common cause for a jump in idle speed while the AC is running is when the cooling fan cycles on and puts a draw on the alternator.
What does the light that looks like a blue thermometer on the instrument panel mean?
It just means the engine hasn't warmed up yet. The car will not go into overdrive until the engine warms up (and blue light goes out). Other than that, it isn't really important. If it never goes out, you probably need to replace a thermostat, which would be important as you will not get optimal fuel economy if your car is not using overdrive.
How do you replace the fuel filter on a 2004 Toyota Echo?
Pretty sure its the same as the 2000 Toyota echo, see related link.
Where is the ac condenser located in a 2003 Toyota Echo?
See related link, also note that the AC compressor is the bottom most item that the drive belt touches.
Echoes are a reflection of a sound. It sounds like a repeat recording of a sound.
How do you install sway bar links on a 2001 Toyota Echo?
The hardest part to this is actually getting the old ones out, since they're usually rusty. I did this by using an exacto blade to score and cut the old bushings, then, using a screwdriver and pliers, i hacked at the old bushings until you get enough out, top and bottom to get a hacksaw or saws-all in there to saw through the old linkage. Once you get the old ones out, installing the new ones is pretty strait forward. Remeber that the washers "cup" the bushings and the little lip on the bushings faces towards the sway bar and control arm, not facing the washers. The harderst part is getting enough room to fit the spacer on the bolt in between the sway bar and control arm, for this i used some scrap wood and levered the swar bar up. If the bolt is askew, meaning not perfectly vertical, you may need another piece of wood to push against the bolt as you tap it upward. Also I found cheap aftermarket links instead of the expensive ones from Toyota.
Good luck.
