Easy to replace two bolts one the back of the steering wheel 10mm I think, call the dealer and junk yards not sure of the cost.

    thank you!!!! are front bumpers easy to fix??

  • Ed Adams Feb 09, 2013

    Thanks for reminding me you need to have the front impact sensors checked to make sure they don't need replacing and always disconnect the battery when working on that system. Autozone maybe able to check the codes and they will do it for free.

    The front bumper is a cover it is a little harder to fix

SOURCE: 2 things. how do i replace the brake light on my

The vehcle has what called advanced qirbag system. It has weight sensors on the passenger front seat. This is for if you have a small child undeer 30 pounds in the front seat the airbags will not deploy. Try sitting in the seat with the car running if the light go out that is why. If it does not have the dealer recalbrate the weight sensors. P.S. don't put small this on the seat like boxes or books that will throw the calibration off. hope this helps.

SOURCE: 1994 Dodge Caravan driver's window won't close.

Start by removing the plastic insert at the door handle. This can be pried out with a screw driver, remove the door handle, prior out the plastic tabs, remove the screws there will be approximately four or five screws, lift the panel up and pull awar from the door. Remove the door regulator, you do this by using a punch and pundh out the rivets, then you drill out the aluminum holding in the glass using 1/4 inch drill bit, remove the door regulator and check for damage, you also need to remove the door motor and take it apart. The door motor will have three plastic plugs in the motor remove these, you can purchase new plugs at any auto store for $8.51, howevwer I would recommend you replace with ball bearings which can be purchased for $.64 cents each at any hardware store, pack the motor with wheel bearing grease and replace. You will need 1/4 inch bolts and lock washweer and nuts to replace the door regulator. Normally the switch will not be the problem. I would recommend you replace all the door regulators and rebuild all the motors. If one is going bad the others will follow. Expect to take allday to complete the job. Door regulators can be purchased on line for around $18 to 30 dollars. Good luck.

SOURCE: Automatic Sliding Door problems on 2005 Dodge Caravan

We have the same problem, just opposite doors - the passenger slider will close to 80%, but the driver still functions fine. There must be an easier solution than new wiring harness/motor??

SOURCE: Broker Dodge Nitro Door Handle

I had my hadle break the other day. I went to the dealership and they wanted $170.00 to replace. The door handle was $60 by it self (for a piece of plastic)!! I read a solution on here that used epoxy putty (JB Weld for Plastic) find it at your hardware store and it worked. Pushing the latch out to touch the handle, I used the epoxy putty on the break and taped the handle to the door to apply pressure and now it's strong as steel. I spent $5.50 for the epoxy putty and saved over $160. Let another handle break, I'm ready!!!!

Airbag light does not come on when starting a 1996 yoyota camry... plz help

Did it used to?
Her e are the options. If it used to, but does not now, could be a bad wire connection or a bad "air bag module" or defect in the computer.
In any regard, the air bag may not deploy when you need it to, if that light is not working.
That lack of a light might mean the circuit is now dead.
If it never did, any of the above conditions may be true, and one more.
The air bag may have deployed in a wreck and no one replaced it because of the extreme high cost, and you may have no air bag.
God bless your efforts.

How long should it take for the self leveling rear suspension in a 2005 GMC Envoy XL Denali Edition to almost go empty. If i let the car sit overnight most of the air is gone and the rear is low, however...

The air suspension system should stay up for several days without going completely down, which probably means that you have a small leak which is quite common even on relatively new air bags or struts.

A general rule of thumb is that if the compressor isn't kicking on several times during a drive then they are good to go. The air bags are a pain to change, so most people don't change them until they are really bad.

Rod blew up how much is it going to be

This sounds NOT good. There is no small cost, as the issue must be completely examined...What failed? Oil? metal? contamination, overheat?
You may consider a wrecking yard motor, with low mileage, and install that. Otherwise, repair is generally cost prohibitive. Bummer when you car turns to instant junk.

1996 Jetta Auto Trans Slippage

The automatic transmission in these cars are known for early failure. They are very complex and often cost more to rebuild than it would be to buy a new one. I know that many transmission shops wont even touch this car. Your best bet would be to search your local junkyards and find a transmission from a car that was wrecked (you know it was working when wrecked) or a transmission from a junkyard that will guarantee it's functionality. A new transmission will cost about $2,000 -$3,000 installed, depending on where you go. If the car is in good shape, it may be worth saving. In great condition it's worth about $3,000. Keep that in mind. If it's not in great shape, it might be a good idea to find a different car. Good luck.

Air bag light flashing (red)

Airbags dont need to be replaced. There is an issue with the electrical that connects to the airbags. This is not a DIY project because if you connect the wrong wires it could cause the bags to deploy and you could get seriously hurt - or cost $3,000 if your lucky to replace the bags

Faulty side air bags

Oh so sorry about that. Really they would not fix it but do you know that you ought to be servicing the air-bags periodically?

Many a lot of people do not know. Try to fix it at your expence if they wont take up responsibility that there's a malfunction.

Take care and drive carefully.

Rate this please.

2006 reo passenger air bag light says its off. how do i turn it on?

The passenger air bag will only come on if there is weight in the seat. The manual says 40 lbs, but it is more than that. When my 60 son sits in the front, the air bag stays off. This is a safety mechanism. An air bag can kill a small child, so it automatically turns itself off if there is little or no weight in the seat. Also saves having to have the air bag repacked if you have a wreck with no one in the front passenger seat--a costly repair.
