Thanks, this looks like what I am trying to get at. I am guessing the screws that hold this thing on can be accessed from the interior of the van, probably by removing the trim panels next to the third row seat. Sound about right?

It's hard to tell but it looks like there are 3 bolts under the trim that hold the channel cover on. I took a couple more photos, but I don't have anything in the manual about what's behind the rear trim panel. Maybe you can save the photos and blow them up and make them a bit more legible.

Billandy202, hope you figured out your axle out ok. I just have a '99 manual and don't remember too much of a struggle when I did my RF axle a while back.

thanks- I think I should start by pulling off the door panel and seeing if I can make the necessary adjustments that way. The diagram you sent is helpful. What book did that come out of? I tried to find the shop manual for this van at our local library yesterday but they did not have it.

I got a factory service manual when I got my van. It was a bit spendy (~$120), especially since I'm not much of a mechanic. Factory manuals for newer cars seem to be running around $300, so next time I'll just wait and buy a Haines manual if I get ambitious about trying to fix something.
I understand Hyundai has (or had; my link is dead) factory manuals on line for free, which is how they all should be.

Ok, I figured out what my problem is. The middle (waist?) hinge has three metal wheels that roll inside the channel and guide the door. Mine is missing part of one of the "wheels" and that is allowing the door an extra 1/4 to 1/2 inch of free play which is causing it to bind up.
I will go ahead and get a new hinge and that should do it.">

I went to pick up a Hayne's manual for my '01 Villager the other day. It seems like they have really cheaped out on them lately,though. It was real thin, and the pictures were blurry. Anyway, I read the part on how to replace my fuel pressure regulator. I just ordered the part from carjunky.com $90.00 compared to $210.00 from the dealer. Of course, it's not a genuine Mercury part, but the last one from the dealer only lasted a year.

99 Villager Electronic control bulbs

One of the faceplate bulbs burned out on the EATC climate control unit on my 99. To my dismay, my local dealer informed me that the unit must be replaced. For a burned out bulb? He couldn't even come up with a bulb number. The shop manual clearly states how to replace the bulbs. It looks to be no big deal and no harder than replacing the radio bulbs.
I'm sure the bulbs are out there somewhere, I just need a generic bulb part number so I can search them out. Any one got one?
Thanks,
Steve

Steve Cutchen's old FAQ site has some part numbers. They may be for the previous generation Quests though.

I have a 95 Quest with a check engine light that comes on. A local parts store checks codes for free but we can't find the connection point. Is it under the dash or in the engine compartment?
