2006 Chevrolet Uplander Questions & Answers
2006 uplander cooling system diagram
Is your coolant boiling over? How hot does the engine get in degrees F? Not counting the temp gage,any signs of overheating? Sometimes when you open the cooling system, you get air in the system that can effect temp gage. You could use a non-contact infrared temp gun on the engine, then compare reading to temp gage. The readings should be close. When it is overheating, are the radiator fan/s on?
Can you check coolant flow through the radiator? I haven't checked to see if you have radiator cap? Sometimes on a cool engine, I remove the thermostat, hook everything up, make sure coolant is full. The coolant flow is instant when you crank or start it because you don't have to wait for engine to warm-up, no thermostat.
Where is the fusible link located on a 2006 chev uplander with a 3.5l
From what I can see, you only have one fusible link, and it starts at the under hood fuse block, is shown as gray with white stripe, and it turns into a red/black wire carrying power to the instrument panel fuse block.
It probably originates at where the battery cable red wire connects to the under hood fuse block.
How to tighten the brakes on 2006 uplander
brake pads indicate disc brakes---I am not aware of any adjustments for disc brakes---you say loose---what's loose--the pads may rattle after they been worn a bit but there's usually spring keepers on the pads to keep them from making noise--unless you have underlying issues that were not evident before showing up--need more info---this is like trying to cut hair over the telephone
I have chevy uplander 2006. the speedometer quit working. then I have had trouble with the tranny doesn't want to shift, if I stop and restart engine it helps
Hi. I read your request and it isn't possible for me to tell you what your car needs from your description. Your vehicle is 12yrs old and if it has around 200K miles on it. It may be time for a replacement transmission. This suggestion is based on average transmission life span for a Uplander. The life of the drive line can be greatly extended with consistent, on-time preventive maintenance. Does this apply to you? How is your transmission maintenance history? Is the fluid the proper level and red in color? has the engine turned on or started flashing at all? If so have you had any of the codes read? Please have the codes read if this applies. This situation usually requires diagnostics to find out what is wrong with your car's transmission and speedometer. Shutting the engine off and restarting it may help but issn't enough for a diagnosis. The speedometer also requires diagnostics. With this issue more than likely the fault will either be a bad output speed sensor, broken wire, corrosion on plug/terminal or the gauge cluster itself will need to sent out for repair or be replaced. Please write back and give some back ground on your experience and tools you might have for performing diagnostics. For example line pressure and a multimeter to look at wiring and circuit operation.
