How can I install brake anti-rattle clips?
Brake anti-rattle clips are used to reduce brake noise and vibration caused by loose-fitting brake pads. Here are the general steps for installing brake anti-rattle clips:
- Remove the wheel/tire assembly from the vehicle.
- Remove the brake pads from the caliper.
- Clean the caliper, rotor, and brake pad mounting surfaces with brake cleaner and a wire brush.
- Apply a thin layer of brake lubricant to the caliper, rotor, and brake pad mounting surfaces.
- Install the brake pads into the caliper, making sure they are properly aligned and seated.
- Install the brake anti-rattle clips onto the brake pad ears or shims. Some clips may have a specific orientation, so check the manufacturer's instructions.
- Use a brake pad spreader tool or C-clamp to compress the caliper piston back into its bore. This will allow enough space for the brake pads to fit over the rotor with the anti-rattle clips in place.
- Reinstall the caliper onto the rotor and torque the caliper bolts to the manufacturer's specifications.
- Repeat the process for the other side of the vehicle.
- Reinstall the wheel/tire assembly and torque the lug nuts to the manufacturer's specifications.
- Pump the brake pedal a few times to ensure proper brake pad-to-rotor contact before driving the vehicle.
Why won't Rad fan run if fan motor, fan relay, temp sender all okay?
check terminals on the ECM
the circuit is when the coolant temp sensor ( not the gauge sender) reaches a predetermined setting , power is supplied to the ECM which in turn activates the fan relay and switches on the fan
there are normally 2 fuses in the circuit
the gauge sender is normally a single wire unit and the sensor unit has 4 wires to it

What is causing my 1994
How long since overall tune-up? Did you check for applicable trouble codes? You should be able to check some codes, yourself.
Cycle the key, on--off, on--off, on, then the check engine lite on the dash starts flashing, you count the flashes to get the codes. Your looking for two digit code, example, a code 24, is two quick flashes a slight pause then four flashes.
If I replace an ignition coil, I usually replace spark plugs and plug wires, also. Could be other issues besides spark?

Wipers stopped working in a snowstorm
Your wiper linkage bushing might be loose or worn-out. The weight of the snow prevents the main link to transfer the motion to the wiper link because the bushings are worn-out.
