2001 PT Cruiser: Anyone have procedure for replacing PS/alternator/AC drive belts, and difficulty? (It looks like the start would be to remove the right front wheel & then spashguard.)

My 2001 300m has 97K and I was wondering if it wise to replace the serpentine belt now. I plan on keeping this car for another 100k so if I replace it now I shouldn't have any problem. Does anyone think this is a wise move? I don't believe the original will last 200K and I don't want to be...

My parents own a 1991 Plymouth Grand Voyager SE with a 3.3 V6 engine and a 4-speed automatic transmission. When they were taking some big stuff over to a store for refunds, they ran into a couple of problems with the van. 1st: During the day, the van was running fine at first. But when my...

Interesting problem. 2004 Sebring convertible has locked the doors twice now, automatically. First time the wife was warming it up and cleaning off the snow. Second time was just after she pulled into the garage. Go out, went in to the house, came back out and the doors were locked. Talked to the...

Recently, there would be this clicking when you started it - 3-5 times, then it would start. Does this mean a loose ground or something? I've put 2 batteries in it since I got it in April, 2004. Now, the check engine light stays on, and if you drive it too far (with a borrowed good battery) the...

Does Chrysler sell PT cruisers sell any convertible PTs that also have the woody siding? I have seen plenty of either, but never both. Not yet anyway. thanks

Got a 2001 Chrysler 300M with about 66k miles. During the last few days in January 2006, it choked a couple of times when stepping on the break pedal. It litterally died out and the engine light came on. However, I was able to restart it every time. It seems like it dies when breaking, and...

The passenger side wiper keeps stopping on the Passenger's side. The arm under the front cowl keeps falling off the splined shaft that connects it to the wiper arm. I have hammered it back on about 6 times, and it keeps falling off. There is no way to thread it for a nut, or groove it for a...

I have a 97 Plymouth Grand Voyager. The headlights are quite dirty inside. It really seems to cut down on their illumination where the dims are "really" dim and brights not that much brighter than dims. I called a chrysler dealer today. He was quite familiar with the problem but said they are...

What is the metal pushbutton which is in front of the driver's left knee? It's in a 1993 Grand Caravan. It might be in all Caravans for all I know.

I've tried giving these away on ebay, but have found no takers. Local used auto parts stores are not interested. It just now dawned on me to try the newsgroups. I don't want money for these seats... I just want to find somebody who can use them, so I won't have to throw them out. I don't think...

I have a '99 Intrepid with a 2.7 liter engine that has a thermostat housing cover that has a slight leak around the air bleeder vent. The housing cover is made of a molded "plastic" and it seems that the leak is occurring between the plastic and the brass vent. Does anyone know, is this a common...

Hello Caravan Enthusiasts, Mine finally started giving me problems. When making a fairly sharp right turn and at least 40 MPH the rear end feels like my lugs are loose. The van has new tires, brakes and bearings. It has been to a mechanic who installed new motor mounts, a sway bar, new transmission...

I have a 1993 grand voyager 3.0 that has no spark and no fuel pump noise after i turn the key on. And my check engine light comes on then goes right out as I turn the key on? I replaced the fuel pump and asd relays. still nothing. i check for power going to the asd and fuel pump Relays and I...

JUST CHANGED REAR DRUMS, PADS AND WHEEL CYLANDERS. THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH STAY ON WHEN I START THE VAN AND GO OFF AFTER ABOUT 2 MINUTES. THE ABS KEEPS RUNNING (NOT PULSING BUT THE HUMMING WHEN THE WYWTEM IS BEING CHECKED) ABOUT EVERY 15 SEC. ALSO WHEN I SHUT THE VAN OFF BRAKE FLUID...

My check engine light is on and the battery light is also on. I have had nothing but problems with this vehicle since I purchased it. It has had four air conditioner compressors replaced to date. NOW, my new problem is: check engine light is on - the machine code states to replace computer, I...

I have a friend who owns a 99 T&C and continually locks herself out because the van locks automatically when the doors are shut no matter where the keys are. The manual says nothing about programming the locks, and I would like to help her figure it out. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

I have almost 1/2 of dash taken apart and can not locate resistor block. I assume its somewhere in inlet plenum only have 3 fan speeds out of 5 for front hvac blower motor. I have replacement but can't locate original resistor block's location. Thanks

Hi everyone. I'm hoping somebody in here with a little more Lebaron experience than me can help with a solution to very nasty problem. I have a 1988 Lebaron convertible, 2.5L with automatic transmission. On days when the temperature drops below about 40 degrees Fahrenheit, the car will fire up and...
