VW Vanagon

The CC system on a Vanagon is vacuum actuated; overly complex and thus failure prone IMHO. For fault you describe I'd start by replacing the CC control module; located (on my '91 Westy) behind the glove box (as in remove the glove box to get to it). There's only a few components to the CC system; the vacuum pump (engine compartment); the control module (indicated above); and the vacuum breaker switch (under the brake pedal). Vacuum pump and/or vacuum breaker switch failure (to include hoses) will result in decrease in speed or inability to set at all (won't hold a vacuum); continuing to accelerate could be caused by faulty control module. Bentley (factory) manual has good fault logic tree for troubleshooting system; somebody might have posted same to internet. Suggest Bus Depot or Go Westy for best internet parts prices (w/quality). Good luck!

Starter is located in the back of the engine attached to the transmission, it is held in with 2 bolts and 1 nut on a stud... disconnect the battery before you start or else you might get some good sparks... getting to it can be a real knuckle buster... good luck

check for vacuum leaks

it is under the dash driver side there is a fuse block i believe it on the top right corner it is roung like you probably think it is a small square black block pull it and replace

To change the starter on a GMC Jimmy 95 you must look under the truck and locate the starter. There will be a bar in the way of removing the starter. You will have to remove the two screws and manuver the starter around the bar. This will be tricky so take your time. Once you remove the starter replace with the new one and manuver back in place screw in and your done.

The flasher is part of the hazard light switch.

The seals and gaskets on your gas tank are aging OR you have a crack or microfissure in your filler gas filler neck OR gasket and lines for overflow gas reservoir are cracked and aging.

Left side of the steering wheel behind the dash board. You would need to remove the underside panel of the dash board as well as a metal plate. You would probably also have to remove the dimmer switch panel and the metal bracket just behind it if you want to see where your hand is going. Access to the flasher is through the underside. Look for a light blue plastic connector.

On your 1994 PLYMOUTH ACCLAIM, the FLASHER is: FRONT SEATING AREA, PASSENGER SIDE, UNDER DASH, MOUNTED BEHIND GLOVE COMPARTMENT You can find this stuff free at autozone.com, repair info, component location.

Don't know if they have one. Now use "body computer" for that function. If there is one, its above the driver's feet up under the dash. My 2005 doesn't have one I found out, not sure when they made the change.

.052 - .056 inch

Check on and near the steering column under the dash. If one side works, turn it on and follow the sound.

Just take the screws out and the whole assembly will come off the van. Unplug wiring harness. Remove bulb holder and replace bulb.

There is a switch on the right side of the instrument cluster near the hazard (4-way) switch. If that doesn't work check the fuse. If that is not the problem check the connectors at the rear window. There are testing procedures for testing the heating elements, they may not be working.

the switch is in the steering colum you will have to remove the steering wheel to acess it. the flasher fuse is round shaped about the size of a quarter in the fues panel under dash

The top of the master cylinder is filled with brake fluid (resevoir)

located on fuse box under dash

To change out the ignition switch (key lock): I found you can follow the instructions in Haynes, autozone.com, etc. up to the point of the release pin. Instead of approaching from the bottom with the punch or awl - you won't find any hole, you need about 8 - 10 inches of wire like bailing wire (stiff, about 3/32" diameter). Look down from above at the key/lock housing. At about the middle of the housing you will see a cylindrical shape in the housing that will be pointing toward the driver's seat. This contains the channel to reach the release pin. You will be able to see (still looking from above) a rectangular slot where you can reach the channel. Take the wire and bend in a "L" shape with a gentle arch so the shortest end has about 1 1/2" straight wire. Insert the short end in the opening to find the pin and push it in to release the lock mechanism. I have a 94 Ford Ranger XLT v6 4L that this description fits exactly!! I even took my old door key with the new ignition key to a locksmith and had them finish cutting the new ignition key for the old door locks. Total costs for me to do the change ~$35.00 the local Ford dealership wanted $325.00. Total time including install, buying part, getting keys cut 1.5 hours. This site is great!

FRONT SEATING AREA, DRIVER SIDE, UNDER LEFT HAND SIDE OF INSTRUMENT PANEL BETWEEN JUNCTION BLOCK AND BRAKE PEDAL.

Under the dash board under the steering column. The left side wall next to the break look up under there. There should be a fuse box and near it should be the flasher. silver cylinder about 1 " long Hope this helps.

I believe that one in under the dash on top of or along the steering column.

The turn signal and hazard flashers are located on the bottom right hand side of the driver's side dash below steering column, to the left side of the ashtray. Take out the three screws and pull down. The hazard flasher is on the left and the blinker flasher is on the right.

.....I found that it was more then three screws but it was where the above stated it was.

.....You may not be able to get the whole dash down, I just bent it down enough to get my arm in there and put the new flasher in... good luck but it fixed my problem so i was happy

I had the same problem, but after asking everyone I knew, I found the answer online. The above is correct, but to make it easier to get to the flasher, you may want to take out the ashtray and remove the screw that was hidden by the ashtray. This will make it a little easier to spread the dash apart to get to the flasher.

I answered a similar question about fixing the flasher, so I'll pearoast a slightly modified version of it here. It will answer your question, too. By "changing the flasher", I am assuming you mean the emergency flasher switch, or the turn signal switch. In either case, it is an integrated unit, along with cruise control (if you have it) on the steering column. Fixing it, in this case, means replacing it. Your best bet is to buy a replacement from a junkyard. When I did mine, I had to buy an entire steering column and take the unit from that; the yard wouldn't sell me the signal unit alone. Even then, it only cost me $80 - a bargain. The process isn't hard, but I couldn't explain it well enough to do it justice. It boils down to basically this: 1) Disconnect the battery and remove the airbag fuse. 2) Remove the airbag from the steering wheel. (Be careful!) 3) Remove the steering wheel and drop it from it's mounting bolts. 4) Remove the plastic housing. 5) Disconnect the signal unit and mount the new one. 6) Put it back the way you found it. I PROBABLY MISSED A STEP OR TWO! Get a good manual (I use Haynes) and read it thoroughly before starting a project like this. Good luck to you! Mr. Dog
