2001 Chevrolet Astro - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

If your door locks are not working and your cigarette lighter is also not working the fuse is burned out. On my 2001 astro van it is #13 in the fuse box under the steering wheel. I have replaced mine and so far no problems. Good Luck.

The power for the data link connector is from a 25amp fuse Number 7 in the IP fuse box. As long as the check engine light is on the computer has power.The main computer power is from two ECM fuses in the box near the battery.The fuse locations should be in the back of your owners manual.

Is it possible it's up inside the fender well area? I've seen vehicles where you have to pull down the moulding above your tire to access the antenna

Spray carb cleaner or starting fluid around the vacuum lines with the engine running. When you hear the engine rev up, you have found the area with the vacuum leak.

Look on YouTube fore the Way to show Ya BEst Answer or Dealer Here We Come

Best way to do it is look on youtube to see how it,s done

have the system checked to get a trouble code then you will have a better idea where to look

They only come on sometimes ? Brake Warning Indicator The instrument panel cluster (IPC) illuminates the brake warning indicator when the following occurs: ?€¢ The body control module (BCM) detects that the park brake is engaged. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the BCM requesting illumination.

?€¢ The EBCM detects a low brake fluid condition and sends a class 2 message to the IPC.

?€¢ The IPC performs the bulb check.

?€¢ An ABS-disabling malfunction also disables dynamic rear proportioning (DRP).

ABS Indicator The IPC illuminates the ABS indicator when the following occurs: ?€¢ The electronic brake control module (EBCM) detects an ABS-disabling malfunction. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the EBCM requesting illumination.

?€¢ The IPC performs the bulb check.

?€¢ The IPC detects a loss of class 2 communications with the EBCM. sounds like you have an intermittent problem for now ! a wiring issue or wheel speed sensor going bad. Need to check for codes in abs module , that will give you an Idea where to look first. These systems can set a lot of codes, component codes , wiring codes etc... need to know what code first.

Yes you can, that 's the best way, just remove rear end cover and axle's your there.

You may need to shim the starter. The rebuilds are not very accurate in the pinion placement locations when the nose bushings are replaced. You should have those in the starter box or the local parts store will have some. Be sure that the engine that is in the vehicle is the one you think it is. There may be different pinion gears for a different model. Hondas do that. 11 tooth,12 tooth,etc. Is it 4WD?

this is an indication of a fuel vapour lock in the fuel system. Run the fault codes and look for problems in the canister system and EGR sections

is the selector lever engaging in the right place i'd have this checked as could be showing park but actually in neutral

Item that need to replace is the blower resistor. It is on the firewall side.
