Where is the Selenoid?
if it is the starter solenoid it is in the starter. If it is the door lock it is inside the door panel
About the brake switch
It is a fuse, bulb and or bad wiring at the light or trailer wiring harness (if it has one)
I would try these options first before I began messing with the brake switch. These almost never fail
Heater blowing cold air with coolant, fine with plain water
it sounds like the heater core is clogged bad if u know someone with a air compressor put a air nossel on it that you pull the trigger to blos air in to the heater core after you take the lines off i had to do this before on a jeep cherokee it did the job
Outside sliding door handle?
Yes. It is a difficult job, but not impossible. The hardest part is actually removing the interior door handle. Here are the steps.
- remove the interior door handle by pressing the door panel in and prying out the C-ring retainer clip
- remove the lock slide switch bezel with 1 screw, then insert a blade on the bottom left of the slider between the slider and bezel, and release the clip, the slide the bezel toward the rear of the vehicle and pull out
- carefully unclip the door panel around the lower edge and sides and lift the door panel UP and off
- remove the interior lock slide switch with 2 screws
- pull back the plastic vapor shield part way to expose the mechanism
- there is a cable that runs from the mechanism to the exterior handle, unclip it from the door frame
- there is a rod that drops down from the door handle to the mechanism, release the rod from the plastic clip
- locate a large (likely black phillips) screw next to the door handle on the EDGE of the door, remove it
- locate a 10mm screw on the inside behind the door handle, remove it
- locate the final 10mm screw behind the handle through an access hole, remove it (careful not to let it fall inside the door)
- the door handle will push out through the door part way- there is another C-clip securing the lock cylinder that will need to be removed, and the lock cylinder can be pushed into the door cavity
- pull the door handle through the outside of the door skin- the door handle assembly is still attached inside the door by the latch cable- the cable can be easily removed from the handle assembly to remove it completely
- you will likely find that the end of the door handle itself is broken off- don’t buy a new handle! Email me and I will show you my free and possibly better solution that will likely last the life of the vehicle dbonnell1972 at yahoo dot com
re-assembly is the reverse of the removal
Where is the radiator plug
im not sure but it must be below somewhere,anyway you need to takethe bottom radiator hose off to flush it out ,put a rag around a garden hose stuff in the bottom inlet undo radiator cap n flush till clear
Fitting front shocks to a lucida 1994 diesel
PLEASE do not remove the center nut! what you have are called struts. The center nut is what holds the strut/spring together. removing the center nut will cause the strut to come apart with a force that could at worce kill you. Remove the 3 surrounding nuts then the two bolts at the bottom of the strut replace with new. You will have to have a front wheel allignment when done.
Autobox
If the coolant level is okay, and the temps are running where they should...could be tie for a tranny flush, and filter.
Depending on where you live, adn the hourly rates of your mechanic/garage get ready to lay out around $150.
Good luck, and happy new year from FixYa.com
Overheating
First you need to make sure the fans are coming on and if they are make sure they are coming on when the car is over heating because there is a fan relay by your fuses if its going bad it wont turn the fans on or it willl only turn them on sometimes..
Howl rear right wheel
As a matter of fact the diff can make noise on and off the gas, my own car a 1996 Corvette does this, it needs the ring and pinion replaced, is this what you are talking about when you say they told you that you needed a whole new differential?
Need radiator flushed. where do
there is one on the bottom of the radiator on the passenger side - lay on the floor and it is there - no guards in the way - according to the owners manual from the dealership there is also one under the driver seat (I have not done that one yet but I will be doing that one this weekend hope this helps:)
Toyota previa misfiring
It sounds like the rotor button is not making a good connetion. i recommend replacing the distributor cap and rotor button to be safe. It is a cheap solution.
No power
I have the same problem. There must be something other than the EFI fuse.
My indicator are not working
Hi
It sounds like you have a loose connection either grab a torch and look under the dash as much as possible to see if any connections are loose or take it to an auto electrician and and ask for a quote to check out the issue.
Toyot Previa - high mounted stop light
This is slightly counter-intuitive, but the plastic lens needs to go in and up before it comes out. After removing the two screws, use something thin and flat to pull down on the underside painted part of the wing between the two screws. A little bit of prying downwards. Two raised lips become visible - they are holding the lens from being able to be pushed up and in. A second pair of hands could help. Then use your thumbs on the lens close to the screws, gripping with your fingers on the top of the wing and squeeze up. POP!
