How do i change the thermostat on a '02 rodeo
Hi, you have to start by removing the fuel pump fuse and start car, when it dies try to start again, no more spluttering just cranking, the fuel system is now depressurised.
You can now disconnect both of the quick disconnect fuel lines at rear lower section of inlet manifold this is hard to get to some access this by removing the EGR valve so you can get your arms down there watch out for sharp edges of manifold. You dont need to take the top section of the inlet manifold off but will need new lower inlet manifold gaskets to head.
Once manifold is off block all intake ports with rag or put tape over ports to stop dirt and stuff falling into ports while continuing to work on the coolant pipes below to get to thermostat. Undo only 4 long centre bolts and the 4 nuts, one in each corner(no.3 in picture).

Someone else mention that the WINTER button makes the car start in 2nd gear to improve traction and reduce slipping in snow and ice. perhaps your winter button is active and it needs to be unclicked. in regular weather starting in 2nd would be like you describe.
I have a Isuzu Rodea
sounds like it is off track, you will need to remove the door panel, screws in the arm rests, one on the crank or a snap ring, and possible one in the inner middle of the door panel, once all screws and crank are off/out the take a flat tip screw driver and work around the outer of the door panel as there are like 10 plastic clips on the inside of the panel, once panel is off inspect the regulator, this is attached to the window crank, make sure the cable is not frayed or broken if so then you will need a new regulator. Hope this helps Tim
I am trying to change my head light bulbs but i
The Haynes manual is incorrect for this model year. 2002 Rodeo instructions are similar to the older model vehicles in that there is a retainer clip that secures the bulb in place. Directions: There are two separate rubber boots at the back of the headlight assy. The smaller of two which covers the connector plug can be removed by pulling straight back. This can be somewhat difficult as there is little room to work and care should be taken if not to destroy the existing bulb. The second boot can be removed by pulling back on one its (2) rubber tangs. I found a pair of needle nose pliers at a slight angle helps. Then you can see the wire clip that holds the actual bulb in the housing. Push the clip in (towards the bulb) and to the side away from the retainer clip. The bulb will now be free and just about drop out. Reverse the steps to replace.
My lever that controls the
The blower motor has a resistor attached to it that probably has gone bad. When you use the fan select switch, power is sent through one of the resistor channels to control the speed of the blower motor.
You can test to see if the resistor is completing the ground circuit by connecting a wire from ground and touching it on one of the resistor terminals. If the blower motor comes on, then the speed control switch may be bad ( or the wiring harness is not making the connection). If the blower doesn't kick on, then try touching the ground wire on the negative side of the motor. The motor should rotate. If not the motor is bad. If it does rotate, the resistor is bad.

Where on the transmission -- is the shift solenoid
It is located just under the pan in a block called the valve body, it contains 2 shift solenoids, and a million little canals for oil. There is no drain plug on it, just have to drop the pan and spill out the fluid, that drips for months afterward. You can change these things if you are handy, if not, don't even attempt it. Watch out for the check balls,
How doI add transmission fluid to my 2002 Rodeo
This has to be done from underneath the vehicle, and you have to pump it in. Not an easy task. This was Isuzu's bright idea. Don't get me wrong, I had a 00 Rodeo, and loved it. Had to do the same thing with the transmission. It is easier to take it to someone, but if you cannot, then go to the auto parts store, buy a pump, some transmission fluid, and put it in. I believe that the car has to be running, and the transmission has to be in neutral to add the fluid.

Have you tested out your fans? Check your fuses and the actual fuse box. Could be a bad fuse or bad fuse box because I had that happen to me. The fuse was okay (it still had some kind of power going to it ) but the actual box underneath was melted.
Where is the transmission dip
On 1996 and later models, the transmission uses an overfill screw instead od a dipstick. On the transmission pan there are 2 screws, one is the drain plag and sits lowest and to the rear, the overfill screw is to the rear on the passenger side, this is where you fill with fluid until it just starts to run out of the opening.
Why does it sound like coolant is getting flushed
If there are no leaks this is fine. The coolant contracts as it cools over night and this noise you hear is the system equalizing itself while coming under pressure from the forces of the water pump, radiator cap spring, thermostat spring and any other expansion - contraction issues involved in the cooling system components. Hope this helps ease your mind. Let me know. Thanks. PS be sure your system is filled with the proper type and ratio of coolant to water for you areas temperature ranch.
