#967 of 1888 98 astro / will not start by jes2 Jul 11, 2005 (12:33 pm)
i was driving along & my 98 astro van just died. the radio was still playing but the engine went dead? when i turn the key to the on possession everything works fine . when i try to start the engine everything goes dead, and the engine wouldn't turn over . normally when you start the engine cold the gages all reset but the gages are all staying stuck at their last readings, but, i do see that the alternator gage is at zero, i didn't notice this while driving and all the other ones are stuck at a normal setting. . could the alternator of gone bad? or could it be the ignition stitch? or a fuse block?

#970 of 1888 Re: passenger window won't go down on '95 Astro Van [racetrackmomma] by suzan3 Jul 19, 2005 (11:52 am)
Replying to: racetrackmomma (May 30, 2005 2:58 pm) Same thing happened to me. ('95 GMC Safari). We are in a heat wave, the air conditioner kicked long ago. (not worth fixing). Tried the motor (not). Tried the switchs (not) And it was unbearable driving in this heat with the passenger window up.   But thanks to this forum - YAY - I just fixed it! yayayayay Someone said to slice open the rubber boot between the door and body and look for a broken blue wire. Sure enough - I found the same thing. Twisted it back and wrapped it with electrical tape and yay - the window finally went down!   Thanks to ? who posted on this forum. I owe ya a beer!
#972 of 1888 where's the fuel pump relay? by edbd1s Jul 20, 2005 (11:11 am)
Before my mechanic takes a couple hundred from me to replace a fuel pump, I want to install a new fuel pump relay, just in case. I have a 94 Chevy Astro. How do I find where to replace it? Replies to this message: giant44s (Aug 06, 2005 7:50 am)

Replying to: accesstoo (Jun 02, 2002 9:18 am) Hi Tom   you seem to know your vans can you help me with this wiper problem. In you message you state   Turns out more often than not, the connector (covered in rubber) tends to come loose. We used tie-wraps (no kidding) to hold them snug. It works, don't laugh and it saves about $200 in repairs.   Can you tell me where i find this connector covered in rubber I have a 94 astro and I can leave the wipers on and sometimes they come on by themselves and sometimes they wont. when they do work they will turn off on thier own as well. it is very frustrating. I do not know much about under the hood but if I get an idea of how something works I can usually get my head around it.. any help would be much appreciated.   Julia Replies to this message: ad600 (Jul 23, 2005 8:44 am)

Replying to: giant44s (Jul 18, 2005 6:20 am) hey all, my brother has a 92 astro van awd with 4.3. His cut out on him driving down the road one day and would not restart. He changed the fuel filter and it started and drove, but with lack of power, A week later he stopped at a gas station and went to restart it and it wouldn't. When you turn the key on to ignition, you can hear the pump kick in. He is bound and determined, plus blockheaded, so I got to ask any ideas???
