I have a 1998 GMC Sonoma 2.2 ltr. 4 cyl. auto that I need to replace the throttle position sensor on. I wanted to know if it is hard to do, and how to do it?

1997 Jimmy turn signal flasher location by sjj62

Where is the turn signal flasher located on a 1997 GMC Jimmy 4WD? I bought a replacement turn signal flasher ( a round plastic module with 2 prongs) but have no idea where or how to replace it. I checked under the dash on the driver side but have no clue where it goes. I see a black plastic module with all of the wires going into it but don't see how to access it or how it comes apart or if the flasher even goes in there. I checked in the glove box and under the dash on the passenger side as well.

Check under the hood, most GMC's and Chevy's have a large fuse box under the hood that contain the large fuses.

Electric Power Problems by kdhoover39

I have a 1991, S10. I turned on my radio, it went dead like it didn't have enough power. I push my horn and it sounds like a relay behind the dash is buzzing, the horn does not honk. My dome light wont come on when the door is open but it will slightly light up when I push the horn or cigarette lighter in. Is it possessed? Or is there a simple solution to the problem?

95 Blazer fuse issue by john222

I have a 95 Chvey Blazer that keeps blowing the 20 amp fuse for the dash board panel. Half the gauges go along with the speedometer and if running at night with the "lights on" indicator buzzes continuously. However other important operating functions that also stop.is proper transmission shifting, and direct charging of the system by the alternator. If this fuse blows the car runs only on direct battery power. This issue seems to happen only during cold or wet weather or when the engine is cold. However if I idle run the car warming it up, for a while hopefully, without draining the battery I can put a new fuse in and it won't blow and the car runs fine. Brought it to a Chevy dealer and they too are at a loss. Thanks

Are you talking about the lower trim panel just above the trans in the middle if the dash just below the AC controls?
Or the panel on the driver side under the steering wheel?
The 97 Jimmy has the automatic trans shifter on the floor between the 2 seats. Just in front of that on the dash is the cigarette lighter and utility outlets with the AC above that and the radio above that. When you remove the center lower dash panel you get the plastic vents from the heater right behind it and the lighter.
I must be blind because I just can't seem to find the turn signal flasher for the life of me.

The turn signal flasher should be just to the left of the cig. lighter . There will be 2 canisters side by side. Thats where my 95 is & Chilton does not make any refferance to any differance with floor shift or air. So to my best knowleged that is where it is. mags

Obviously there is an amp spike or short intermintant. The easiest to check first and most likely the cause is the alternator. Even though it is charging, there may be an intermitant short at the internal regulator. On your alternator there is a plug with some small wires leading to it. Next time you think that the fuse should blow, disconect that plug to your alternator prior to starting the vehicle. This will turn your check engine light on and prevent charging, but its just a test. If the fuse doesn't blow, I would be very suspicious of an intermitant short in the regulator. Ok, try this a couple of times. Don't reconect that plug until the engine is off. By the way, is this fuse #4 20amp ? If this doesn't work, post more info such as engine size, production date, fuse # location, auto or manual trans, and I'll give you some other ideas you can try. Good luck.
