#9 of 38 2001 Tracker power windows fuse by jschirle Jun 17, 2007 (5:36 pm)
Hey all..   I have a 2001 Tracker w/ about 60K miles.   My problem is with the power windows -- specifically, the fuse keeps blowing, and I keep having to replace it.   I took it to the dealer the 1st time, they checked everything, said it was all OK, just needed a new fuse. They said it had probably blown if, for example, 2 people had tried to roll different windows at the same time (which would have been a possibility at the time they stopped working).   2nd time I was alone in the car, but had just turned the AC on -- I thought that was perhaps the culprit.   3rd time I shut the AC off, and made certain I wasn't doing anything else -- ran the window down, and the fuse blew and I couldn't get it back up w/o changing the fuse (I now keep spares in the car).   Any idea why this is happening and what I can do to keep from putting a new $3 fuse into my car several times a day?   Thanks!   John
#10 of 38 Oil Leak, From the front of the oil pan? by tripster Jul 19, 2007 (6:38 am)
1998 Tracker,I have a oil leak that looks to be from the front of the oil pan, I replaced the gasket and it did not fix it, I then pulled the timing cover to check the front crank seal and it looks good and dry. Any sugestions? Replies to this message: jkj66 (Aug 21, 2008 1:05 pm)
#11 of 38 4WD won't engage by 04tracker Oct 02, 2007 (6:04 am)
After moving the 4WD handle forward to 4HI, the 4WD light blinks but won't stay solid and the system doesn't engage. How can it not engage? Isn't the 4x4 system mechanically controlled by the lever? My Tracker is 2004 with 17,000. How do I fix it? Replies to this message: scotter (Oct 03, 2007 3:40 am)

Replying to: 04tracker (Oct 02, 2007 6:04 am) Your half correct. The 4 wheel drive is mechanically engaged with the lever, but that only engages the front drive shaft in the transfer case. The front differential is pneumatically engaged by what is nothing more than a small air compressor, which is mounted on the rear of the front bumper frame, passenger side. Your “air pump” is defective, and is not engaging the front differential, thus the reason for the blinking light.   In actuality it is a complex little air pump, with a pressure sensor/regulator, a check valve, a bypass valve, and a blow off valve, all controlled by a 5 cent printed circuit board, which is the most likely reason the unit failed. I have had to replace mine ( same symptoms as yours, blinking light) and I have 2 friends with a Tracker and Vitara who had to replace theirs, again same symptom as you.   The Chevy dealer price was a little over $400, and the Suzuki dealer was $200. As with all Tracker dealer only parts, its much less expensive to go to the Suzuki dealer.
#13 of 38 4 wheel drive will not engage by otet443 Nov 09, 2007 (8:15 pm)
my 2003 tracker 4 wheel drive will not engage. The floor shift works fine but the light on the dash will not light up and the front axle will not engage. Is there a sensor or fuse of somekind I need to look for?
#14 of 38 chevy tracker 4 wheel drive by otet443 Nov 11, 2007 (7:41 am)
About the 4 wheel drive not engaging, the small air compressor starts running for about 10 secs after shifting into 4 wheel drive, but light still doesn't come on the dash.
#15 of 38 1998 TRACKER 4WD NOT ENGAGING by twilight777 Dec 17, 2007 (11:44 am)
My 4wd light comes on steady, hi-lo. 4wd is not engaging. Any ideas?
#16 of 38 Oil light by tmcherney Feb 05, 2008 (8:15 am)
Have a 2003 Chevy Tracker. The Oil light is coming on ONLY when the vehicle has warmed up (live in MN) and when coming to a stop. Not on otherwise.   Had a recent oil change and check it frequently - plenty of oil.   2 diagnositcs by Tires Plus found nothing.   Any ideas?   Thanks!

Replying to: tmcherney (Feb 05, 2008 8:15 am) restrictive/defective oil filter. In the past 5 years i have had 4 defective oil filters between my cars and motorcycles. Its not completely unheard of. that or what is your idle like when your at a stop light. can you see where the tach is? as long as your oil level is correct, i would replace the oil filter. its a cheap check. Then i would check your idle. when that light comes on give it a tiny bit of gas and see if it goes out...

Replying to: fakechevy (Jun 12, 2007 7:28 pm) Did you ever get your leak stoped? I have basicly the same problem.
