TESTING WARNING
During the following test, the starter motor must not be energized for longer than 5 seconds, otherwise you run the risk of burning out the starter motor coil.

  1. Remove the starter motor from the vehicle.
  2. Detach the field coil lead from terminal M on the starter motor.
  3. Using jumper wires, connect a 12 volt battery to the starter motor so that the negative battery terminal is attached to the starter motor housing and to solenoid terminal M, and that the positive battery terminal is connected to starter motor solenoid terminal S. The starter motor plunger should move outward; if it does not, replace the solenoid with a new one. Fig. 1: To test the solenoid plunger, first detach the field coil lead from alternator terminal M, then attach a 12 volt battery to the starter motor as shown . . . i need to find out - 90882g50.gif
    Fig. 2: . . . then detach the negative jumper wire from terminal M. The plunger should remain extended 90882g51.gif
    Fig. 3: Detach the other negative lead from the starter motor housing. The solenoid plunger should now retract to its normal resting position
    Fig. 4: Use an ammeter to measure the amount of current draw the stai need to find out - 90882g53.gifses 90882g53.gif

  4. Detach the negative battery jumper wire from terminal M on the starter motor solenoid, and check the plunger for movement. The plunger should remain extended; if the plunger returns to its resting position, replace the solenoid with a new one.
  5. While observing the solenoid plunger, detach the negative battery lead from the starter motor housing. The plunger should return to its normal resting position; if it does not, replace the solenoid with a new one.
  6. Reattach the 12 volt battery and install an ammeter to the starter motor as shown in the accompanying illustration. The starter motor should rotate smoothly and steadily with the pinion gear moving out, and the ammeter should display less than 60 amps at 11.5 volts (Samurai models), or 90 amps at 11 volts (Sidekick, Tracker, X-90 and Sidekick Sport models). If the ammeter does not display the specified values, or if the starter motor does not operate smoothly and steadily, replace the starter motor with a new one.

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. If necessary for added under-vehicle clearance, apply the parking brake, block the rear wheels, then raise and safely support the front of the vehicle on jackstands.
  3. From beneath the vehicle, label and detach all wiring from the starter motor solenoid terminals.
  4. Remove one of the two starter motor mounting bolts and loosen the other bolt until it can be turned by hand, then support the starter motor with one hand while removing the last starter motor mounting bolt.
  5. Lower the starter motor down and away from the engine and transmission. To install:
  6. Hold the starter motor in position and install the two mounting bolts. Tighten the two bolts securely.
  7. Reattach all applicable wiring to the starter motor solenoid. Ensure that the wiring terminals and connectors are clean and free of corrosion.
  8. If necessary, lower the vehicle.
  9. Connect the negative battery cable.

SOURCE: speedometer backlight on a 2004

First thing to check is that your dimmer switch is turned all the way up. Next, check the instrument cluster fuse located underneath the drivers side steering wheel. Pull out and replace the instrument cluster fuse. If your dimmer switch and fuse are good then you will need to remove the screws holding the cluster in place and then un clip the wiring harness from the back of unit. Now pull the cluster away from the dash and twist each bulb holder out and then pull each light bulb straight out of its socket and replace with a brand new light bulb found at most auto parts stores.

2004 Chevrolet Tracker. What size serpentine belts are on it.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to sub category.

You order them to the vehicle, not by size. The three belts are here with the OEM Parts numbers. Parts suppliers have a book with all the makes, models and years, and that book tells them the length, width and form, (ribbed or plain).

You can also pick them up from Walmart, or eBay.

I have a 2004 chevy tracker and the instrument panel and parking lights won't go out when the engine is off. Can somebody please help me?

Hello. It seems either a relay is malfunctioning and/or the headlamp switch in your lighting system is at fault. Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.
