on the part thats almost directly behind my engine what is suppost to be plugged in there?, and those 3 black boxes, are they hard to replace? the PO left the car in a field and it got a rats nest right infront of those and they chewed some of the wires in half

 

bumb, comeon guys i literally have no clue as to what is under the hood so i really need help

 

i'm confused. are you asking for which relays you circled, or are you asking if there's something missing from the pic?

 

on the three boxes i need to replace the one closest to the fender, but my main question is what plugs into that big black box behind my engine

 

that's the windshield wiper motor

 

okay, so what is suppost to plug into the left side of it? i could feel some prongs earlier but i couldnt really see it

 

are there any wiring harnesses going to it at all?

 

i think there is one coming from the lower part, i wouldnt quote me on it because i was more worried about why my car wasnt starting but there isnt anything coming from the top plug

 

well the first obvious question is if the wipers work... but nothing there will stop the engine from running

 

well, my stalk is broken so until i get that replaced ill be able to answer that question, now what about those 3 relays? would one of those cause my car not to run?

 

oh yes... one of them is your fuel pump relay

 

when you turn the key can you here the pump run if you can how old is the gas if no fuel pump hum the one of the relays is bad its ether the one by the fender or the one under the other one farthest from the fender

 

The big black box, as previously mentioned is your wiper motor, the prongs you feel on the left side of it, most likely is where your washer pump goes, D*** rats really did a number on you, huh... I'll see if my manual list something for your model...

 

and when you replace the realays and still no pump noise replace the fuel pump it will run mine sat for 12 years before i got it in january you can also try hitting the the gas tank to free up the pump but use a hammer and peice of wood so you dont puncture the tank

after this website helped with the troubleshooting the fuel pump issue mine happen to be bad on top of the knuklehead work the po did and a new set of injectors the car runs great

 

do you have all of the intake parts there is supposed to be a black box behind the bumper an air tube with two sensurs ones the mass air flow sensure and the other is somthing i have no idea what but its small and has two wires the maf has three wires i belive

 

If I remember correctly the other is an air temp sensor...

 

my fuel pump turns on when i turn my key on, and the one that has a wire chewed threw is the one closest to the fender, the others looked fine unless they got them down farther

 

behind the bumber?, im not sure that anythings there but i havent really looked there but ill look tomorrow when i get out of school, where exactly is it behind the bumber?

 

does anyone know what those other two relays are for?, i know ones for the fuel pump but what about the others?

 

coolant fan and AC compressor

 

do you know what order they are in? it would be really helpful

 

sorry, mine have been jacked around... I unplugged the one that was supposed to be the fuel one, and then I started my car...lol
I'll see if I remember where I saw what it's supposed to be

 

ok....

from the fender, working your way in...



AC
fan
Fuel

 

okay so my AC is the one that got chewed on,still not good but better because i dont need that at the moment

 

is that relay an AC connector or an AC compressor control?

 

Compressor clutch control

Ive seen the relays moved around quite a bit. Check wire colors instead of location to ID the function

AC will be small wires of greens and pink. It will have no red, gray, or large gauge wires

 

these were green and pink

 

that was the hole i was talking about, the prongs are in there

 

Wiper motor, it has two connectors, the big one you see there and one small 3 wire connector almost behind the engine. Those are included in the light harness

 

i thought the entire thing was my wiper moter? im talking about the plug on the upper side of the box

 

ok, back on this problem, i got the relay replaced and i found the plug for my wiper moter. but when i turn on my wipers they dont move, i can hear the moter kick on and start to move inside but my wipers do nothing, any tips here?

 

bumb

 

Check to see if the wiper arms move at all by hand. It could be that the NYLON drive gear (WTF is it with GM and nylon gears?) in the wiper motor has been wiped out. LOL. Anyways, my ex-brother-in-law and my sister had a problem with this on their second gen Camaro (that I really wish I had right now) and they had to get a new wiper motor.

If the arms don't move, they could be bound up by rust or some other crud hiding in the cowl. Remove the cowl and clean everything nicely (I'm sure there's something in there with as long as the car has sat).

 

the arms moves if i move it by hand, that mean the nylon gear is gone on this too??

 

Probably. Or they could be loose at the drive arm under the cowl screen. There is an arm connected to the motor shaft that connects to the rest of the linkage through 2 screws. Make sure they aren't loose, missing, or stripped. Also make sure that the arm is connected to the motor shaft.

 

ill look into that tomorrow, it was hard finding that damn plug to begin with

 

how do you pull up the cowl screen?
