The head light switch is the problem here,it controls both.

Nothings easy on achieva.- Remove power steering, top motor mount(make sure motor is supported from top) ,right front wheel,(support body).Remove splash panel.now you have room .might have to move engine up or down

If its a 3100 or 3.1 its under power steering pump.you will need belt tension wrench or thin crescent wrench to release tension for belt removal.

Most likely your turn signal flasher is bad. The hazard flasher is a different flasher.

It maybe tied into another circuit..so check all your fuses..especially if you have a digital clock mounted on the dashboard..Sometimes they have that cig. fuse within other circuits...that's why i said...check all your fuses..

If the engine is idling and running well, you possibly need to look elsewhere. Is your air cleaner clogged up? Does the transmission seem to be shifting ? If it is not coming out of first gear, you could have a speed sensor bad.

They look like black garden hoses, and there is 2 of them, inlet and outlet.

if your turn signals are working your bulb`s are OK something is wrong with your turn signal switch in your stering collum

check your fuel preasure, and make sure cat-converters are not clogged,start there.

raise car, remove any obstruction from out of the way of the oil pan. if you arent pulling the motor it will mean you need to drop the front k member. after that remove all bolts from pan, pry it off with a putty knife, remove old gasket with razor knife, reapply gasket, possibly adding RTV silicone if your car needs it. reverse all other steps and you are clear. unless you know for sure its just the oil pan leaking i would suggest changing front and rear main seals on the crank as well.

I would have my master cylinder checked for leaks and have my back calipers or drums checked for bad seales or sruck brake pistons

find the cable and use what ever you can to pull it vice grip or if the back seat folds down do so climb in and use a scew driver in the slot where the latch is

you need to get a belt tensioner tool to put in tensioner square slot. to release belt tension.then you raise vechicle and safely support it.remove tire.then inner fender splash shield.then you remove tensioner bolt.becareful not to mash your fingers or hand.

use a curved ratchet wrench. Try elbows if possible. They also make wratchet wrenches that are angled

Ignore the first post then, i just saw this one afterwards which you clarified it being the serpentine belt. In which case, you need to find the alternator. Found it? good! now check the bracket holding the alternator in place, there should be a bolt on there that holds it tightly to some sort of track allowing you to change the angle the alternator is sitting at. That one is the adjustment bolt that allows you to tighten or loosen the serpentine belt. On those years, GM used the alternator to bind the belt to save money on design. So just loosen the bolts on the alternator, bring it up to loosen the belt (you might need a prybar to help you move it), BUT BEFORE YOU TAKE THE BELT OFF, make a diagram of the belt routing, cause once its off if you don't have oneon hand, putting a new belt back in can be pretty tricky since there are many curves it needs to take and can seem to be in the right place on either side of the pulleys, but it will end up being too tight of too loose.

1. Place the vehicle on a level surface, in park, parking break set. On the passenger side wheel well, remove the plastic shroud that wraps under the engine. This will make access to the lower pulleys easier. 2. Place a floor jack beneath the oil pan with a small wooden plank to distribute the lifting pressure. 3. Raise the jack until the vehicle begins to rise. 4. Connect a rachet-style tie down between the lifting eye located directly in front of the alternator to a solid and sturdy point on the front of the car. Jack the strap until there is firm tension on it. This keeps the engine from rocking backwards when you later remove the engine mount. 5. Release tension on the belt by lifting the belt-tensioner. I didn't have a wrench handle long enough to reach into the small space, so I used a different method. I used a strap with a hook on the end, like those straps with the rachets on them for tying things down. I lowered the hook end from the rear side of the strut and looped it to the front side and hooked it onto the end of the belt tensioner. To release tension I just pulled up on the strap until the belt was loose enough to pull off the alternator. Skip this step if you just want to cut the belt off or it is already broken. 6. The upper engine mount is located next to the strut. It connects to two other sections that bolt to the engine. The rear mount is below the alternator. The front mount is below the power steering pump. Only the rear mount needs to be removed. Here are the steps to remove the parts needed for removing and re-installing the belt. On the upper engine mount locate three 15mm bolts, two connect at the rear and one at the front. Remove all three bolts. The engine will rotate slightly when removing the bolts, so you may have to rotate it slightly while pulling the bolts out. Next, remove the rear mount. There are two 15mm nuts and one bolt holding it in place. When the rear mount is disconnected, there is a gap between the upper engine mount and the rear mount. The belt will slide out through that gap. To complete removal, slide the belt through the gap between the upper engine mount that you unbolted and the two engine mount sections. 7. When installing the new belt, slide it into the gap that you used for removing the old belt. Seat it onto all pulleys to make sure you don't have any kinks or twists. Wait until the vehicle is reassembled before placing the belt onto the alternator pulley. 8. Reverse the procedure to reassemble the engine mount. I don't have torque values for the bolts; I just made them as tight as they were when I removed them.

Not sure, but if you go to Autozone they can look it up on their computer and tell you. Free.

Sounds as if it is dumping fuel. Are sure it is black?

cleaned tps sensor with trottle body and put in injector cleaner with premium gasoline and found when i had the lube and oil done they loosened a spark plug wire. although it is not perfect yet it seems to be headed in the right direction. thanks for your help. pat
