Check the fuse if that has not been done, if the fuse is good then give the wiper motor a light tap where the wire harness connects too. The circuit board on the electric motor assembly where the wire harness connects too is know to crack and will need to be re soldered or replace. The replacement part can be bought at Auto Zone for around $15.00 i believe or you can just re solder if you can and save your self the money for another day. The only other place would be the wiper switch it self may need to be replaced, but if there is no low or hi working on the wipers. I'm going to lean towards the wiper motor circuit where the harness clips to. Good luck and hope you get the wipers working again soon.

Just change the fuel filter, and take the air filter off the carburetor. Let somebody start your engine, and choke the carburetor with the palm of your hand and
open a little and close again. Observe if your car tend to start Also find if some gas gets into your hand. If it is, then, the fuel system is okey. And it still does not start, check the plugs for sparks. No sparks, check
your ignition coil. It may need replacement. After
everything is checked, start your engine..

One solution is to get a "universal" relay block (connector) and wire it to the fuel pump wires on the back of the existing relay block. You can mount them virtually anywhere you want. These are readily available at most parts stores. They sell them for people that want to add flood and/or headlamps to their 4X4's.

Another solution is to get an OEM relay block out of the salvage yard.

Compression, air/vaccume leak, pluged injector.
My guess would be a bad injector, GM has an update kit for all of the injectors, with all new injectors, a body, and fuel regulator!

there is a circuit board on the back of the wiper motor that has a bad connection. You can buy the circuit board and replace it yourself. If you are handy with a solder iron, you can make the repairs on the circuit board yourself.

The injector might be leaking ,there fore firing when it is not supposed to.

check your fuel preasure, and also check injectors. start there.

the rear access is a plug that has a small tack welded at top and bottom with a hammer and cold chisel blade smaller than opening hit metal plug will give way most auto stores sell to rubber plug that is used to replace the metal one

very simple, just remove the wheel, then remove the drum and there you go, the inside of the rear drum brakes.
if you plan on taking stuff apart your better have the proper tools and knowledge before you go any further.

The best, SAFEST, and cheapest way to fix anything that has to with your brakes is just replace the brake line.

The brake fluid you're losing doesn't only affect that brake it will affect al four of your brakes and if the leak expands you could mash the peddle one time and have absolutely no brakes at all.

Brake lines aren't that much and it shoud take you under an hour to change it.

I hope this helps you out.

I would say its your Ignition switch or the fuse for tranny is blown or the tranny is unplugged.My truck had a problem where it was stuck in third gear, the tach never moved,the gear indicator light went out.I left it at the tranny shop all day and nobody could find the problem.All you need to do is check your fuses with a test light.I looked at all my fuses and they were all good but when I used a test I found that some fuses didnt have power supplied to them from the ignition switch.Your fuses need power on both sides to complete that circiut.So I would say go get a test light because they are cheap and check your fuses before you go right back to the parts store for that ignition switch.Good Luck

if only in certain gears its the trans need overhaulmwill be costly for hard parts

You would appear to have a loose connection somewhere in the electrical system--battery connections, loose fuses, loose connectors on engine computer, etc. Park the truck with the engine running and start wiggling wires, connectors, fuses around the engine compartment. Look especially at various ground wires attached to the frame or body. Check the body to frame grounding cable--a woven wire cable.

make sure you have the right fuse for the box in sometimes they just stick one in ... check your ground .. and dont use your fingers to put the bulb in .. the oil from your fingers gives it a shorter life...

sometimes using a fuel additive might help. K44 i think is what it is called helps clean the injectors....hope this helps

You will need to remove the the retainer clip and remove the brake switch and the rod will then slide off the pedal pin.

It could be the throw out bearing, especially if it is popping out of gears. or hard getting into gears.
