#1 of 2 Idler pulley same as tensioner pulley? by larryco

Nov 17, 2010 (4:43 pm)

Can someone tell me if the pulley on the tensioner pulley assembly is the same pulley used on the idler pulley? In other words if the pulley is taken off the tensioner assembly can it be used on ther idler pulley? I'm on-line looking for an idler pulley and it sure seems that both the idler pulley and the pulley used in the tensioer assembly are the same. I have a 1996 3.8L Town and Country. Thanks for any feedback.

#2 of 2 check engine light does not work by hlp1973

when i bought my 1996 dodge caravan we found that the check engine light did not work.
codes could still be read, and since i have purchased the van a few years ago i have replaced 6 or 7 codes along with a new fuel pump and of course routine stuff.
 
finally had all the codes gone and thought i was good to go for my inspection.but faile because they want the light to come on when they turn the key.
the mechanic sudjested a new bulb so i you tubed how to do this and replaced all the bulbs while i had it appart.
 
it still did not work, so we purchased a used part and replaced the symbol panel. guess what still does not work.
 
the symbol panel is on the top of the dash, while below that is my gauges for speed and gas.i assume that they are not connected, is this correct?
 
the reason why i am asking is because my dash board light does not work. the gauges all work fine but the light at night does not come on.could this be linked??
 
do i need to remove the steering wheel to remove the dash and replace the light bulb for the dashboard light?
 
i also have a blue wire that hangs above the pedals, i assume a radio wire or something?
 
does anyone have any sudgestions on what i should look for now and where to look for it, i have two weeks left and a small purse to get this car ready for its inspection. any help would be great!!
 
thanks heather
