69 chevelle door hinge on passenger side is loose and moves up and down at the hinge were it is fastened to the body . do I have to take off the fender to get at these bolts

Remove drivers door panel

look for a broken wire in all the wires there. May also be broken between the door and the body. Wish you luck in finding the broken wire.

Spray some WD-40 into the switches, right there in the door, and working the switches gingerly. It could be some moisture from an open window that has corroded the switch contacts, or some "road dust" has gummied up the switch contacts.

If that doesn't work, try holding the switch down while wiggling the wiring "tube" that runs from the door into the body of the vehicle. It will be located in the area of the door hinges.

If that makes it work, even intermittently, then the likely problem is a wire or two that have fatigued and broken, or become loose.

From this chart - I think you may be misreading the number - 3970010 is possibly the actual number: Which makes the engine pretty old 68-72 350 V8 - 4 bolt main. I included past this number so that you can see that the number you posted doesn't actually exist. And thus my conclusion that the 9 is most likely a 0.

The problem is ur DOOR HiNGE BUSHiNG! Test ur DOOR if it moves by lifting up, if it moves look at how the hinge plays, the BOLTS might only be loose and needs tightening! Replacing the HiNGE BUSHiNG, pull out the PiN, that holds the hinge from the door to the body panel. Look at the center hole, notice a copper/brass bushing, take it off and replace w/ new one! U need 4 pcs. for each door! Hope that might help u out! Taah!

may need new hinges on door and body of vehicle, if so it is about 600 -700 to replace , may be able to get new bushing and pins , without replacing hinges

WEll, usually not a bushing, but there is often lots of wear at the pivot pin. Usually best to replace entire hinge, as teh tolerance goes off when the pin wears...

1. Remove sliding door trim panel , watershield, and access hole cover plates.
2. Unlatch pizza sliding door.

3. Remove latch actuator rod retainer from center door retainer hole.

4. Disconnect pizza rear door latch actuator rod from pizza remote control assembly by opening pizza clip.

5. Open pizza door sufficiently to gain access to pizza three bolts attaching pizza rear latch to pizza sliding door. Remove bolts.

6. Remove pizza sliding door rear latch with pizza remote control actuator rod attached to pizza latch, from pizza sliding door.------------- First you need to get the right tools for the job and the right parts to fix the problem.There is a hinge pin in both the upper and lower hinges and four brass bushings and there is two different size bushings in each hinge and also two hinge pin retaining washers.as for the tools you need a spring compressor,jack,hammer,punch. First open the door all the way,put jack under door,I like to use a 2by4 board on top of the jack to help spread the wieght of the door out a little,next if the door has a wireing harness in the jamp loosen the rubber insulation form both the door and the body this gives a couble of inches of slack in the wireing.Next use the spring compressor to remove the spring,then use the punch and hammer to drive out the pins.it is very hard to get them to move an first but gets easyer as they start to move.I would recomend having a helper to hold the door upright as it will fall when the pin is removed from the hinge.Onece the pins are out move the door and jack away from the body to gain more axcess room the replace the bushings,two in the door side and two in the body side,then slide door and jack back and align hinge holes and install new pins. I allways grease the bushing and pins before installing.Drive the new pins all the way flush with the hinge and install the retainers.Reinstall the spring and reattach the wireing insulation. ------- Open the door so it is directly above the bench. Observe how all the fasteners, be they bolts or pins with bushings, are aligned. Generally, the bolts and pins point toward the center of the hinge from the top or bottom, The bolts and bushings are on the body-side bracket for the upper bracket and the door bracket for the lower one. This will help. Thanks please keep updated. please do rate the solution positively .thank you for using fixya

IF the battery died, you may need the dealership to re initiate the windows or the body shop may have pulled a wire loose????. Try the passenger side. Move the window all the way up and all the way down. Then try the driver's side switch again. Don't delay. Warranty should cover you up to 4 years from new.

Adjust it for what? I am gonna say that it is probably not striking the stiker latch dead center and is below it and when you close it it hits and you either have to hold up on the door or it hits low and then closes hard. Solution: the striker pin at he opposite side than the hinges is the rod that sticks out where the latch hits. It can be unloosened by a wrench or star wrench or allen wrench head depending on vehicle. Lossen it move it which way up or down till it latches good. this is a cure for bigger problem usually the hinges are worn and the door is dropping down (especially on long heavy car doors, usually 2 door versions) Check the hinges by lifting the door up at the entrance end if it lifts and drops sloppily on the hinge or moves on it without the entire care moving up and down it is worn. If you are actually adjusting the hinges. Try putting a long wobble head extention on a rachet or whatever allows access to the hinge bolts and put them in place and then close slowly and adjust till all body lines line up and door closes good without interference.( this can be a little tedious) use 2 people or 3 it really helps. If all this fails take it to a body shop and for a small fee they will do it in a few minutes.

You'll need to support/make stable the door first. remove four (4) 12mm hinge bolts which attach the hinges to the door. Move the door about 4 inches away from the veh to access the door wire harness connector. Disconnect the door wire harness at the connector (connector at the veh body) by sliding the boot off connector & exposing the connector underneath. The connector has a 'release' tab center of the connector. press it and wiggle the connector loose. Install the new door in reverse order.
