Alero :: Drivers Side Power Window Quit Going Down
Recently my '02 drivers window quit going down. The motor and assembly will go down, but the window stays up.
I could lower the window carefully with my hands, and it would go back up like it should, but if I wanted to take it down again I would have to do it with my hands.
Now its at the point where the power assembly still works, but the window acts like its stuck if I try to take it down using my hands, and only goes about 1 inch then sticks. But it will go back to its 'home' position when I use the up button.
I thought this would be a minor inconvenience and I could tolerate it for awhile, but I never realised just how much I use that window.
So, what may have happened, and how to go about correcting it?
Alero :: 2004 - Passenger Door Window Not Rolling Up
A friend of mine slammed my passenger door with the window down and we heard a snap, and it stopped rolling up. I took him home and the next day I went to my friend that is somewhat experienced with cars and we took apart my door panel, and found these 2 objects just broken off at the bottom of the panel. What are these and where can I purchase them?

I have an RC200T a month old from new and I'm experiencing noise in the cabin. The only way I can describe it is its like the window is partly open but its not. I've been into my local dealership and they seem to think its because its a frameless window. I'm not sure if its a common issue and if lexus would do a fix.
I have owned several cars with frameless windows and not experienced the amount of noise I am in mine. It is noticeable when cars overtake or when cars pass in the opposite direction on a 2 lane road. What to do to cure it apart from turning the radio up.
Alero :: Codes Can't Be Read In 2002 Vehicle
I have a 2002 Alero 2.2 4 cyl and the gauges, head lamps in auto position, windows, fan, and radio will not come on. When car is off and key turned to acc. radio will work. It still drives ok, doesnt seem to be draining the batt but the check engine light came on. I took it to autozone and they COULD NOT read the codes and didn't know why.
The speedometer, temp and fuel gauges haven't worked for months now and the rest of the accessories not turning on is a recent issue.
The only thing that comes on regularly is the backlight for the dashboard and now the check engine light. I had the ignition switch replaced right before the speedometer, fuel and temp gauges stopped working. I noticed tapping the key sometimes gets the radio, windows, and fan working but not the dashboard gauges. Don't want to replace the ignition switch again since it doesn't seem to do anything for the dashboard gauges.
Alero :: 2002 - Emission Evap Not Ready?
2002 olds alero 3400 engine.....I had a code of a p1401 insufficient flow to egr ..Which is most of the time the clogged passage. I took the throttle off an accessed the egr passage. Boy was it clogged with carbon so I cleaned it out thoroughly, which fixed the problem.
I reset the computer I drove it a few days and now all the monitors are ready, except the evap monitor. I have drove a few days highway, street, stop and go etc my tank being half filled etc. And its still not ready. Car has to take emission soon. Its a coincidence because the Alero ac isn't working so it can't be turned on right now.I ran into a similar problem with a 2000 Monte Carlo the evap wouldn't go to the ready status he had a short somewhere and the ac compressor would work intermittently. The compressor finally worked one day with defrost on and the evap went to ready.

I have a 2002 Alero with 124,000 miles and it's been giving me problems lately. Sometimes while I'm driving my car just shuts off. Radio still on and lights work, but the car just stops running. There are days where I can start my car with no problems and there are days where my vehicle doesn't start at all for days/weeks. I've taken my car to two different shops and they didn't find anything wrong with it but as soon as I got it back it started doing the same thing again. What is wrong with this car or what I need to do?

The sound is coming from the front passenger side. The noise gets louder the faster I go, put in neutal and noise still there press brake noise there turn wheel no change in pitch. Jacked it up and there's no play in wheel. Just changed both front wheel bearings 6 months ago.
Just changes all brakes today and got all new tires today. I'm thinking maybe the differential bearing but not sure and if so how to change it. I travel from Mississippi to Baton Rouge, LA everyday for work, about 240 miles round trip. What would happen if a bearing went out while driving 70 mph on interstate.
Alero :: 2002 V6 Engine Idles Roughly When Parked / Hesitation On Acceleration
Lately I have been having some trouble with 2002 Oldsmobile Alero v6. When the car is sitting in park I have noticed that the engine idles roughly, And when I try to drive it, the car hesitates on the acceleration every now and then. Also the emissions light (the orange one) will come on for awhile and then dissapear. At first I though it was dirty fuel injectors so I added some Fuel injector cleaner, but that has not fixed the problem. I was thinking the park plugs may need replacing?
View 1 RepliesAlero :: 2002 - Power Steering Leak Developed On Driver Side Near Front Wheel
A Power Steering leak has developed on my 2002 Alero's driver side near the front wheel. I've been aware from other posts that it may be the Rack and Pinion, a power steering pump or a seal. There has been no noises in my steering when I drive and its steering well as it ever was. I am wondering is there a way to detect what of the three things it may be?, without taking it into a dealership or shop?
View 4 RepliesCamry :: 2002 - How To Do Cabin Air Filter Orientation
2002 Camry LE 2.4
To replace the cabin air filter, there is a tray that you pull out. The tray has an arrow pointing up. I've read someone's comment on the forum that the up arrow on the filter should be oriented the same way as the up arrow on the tray. I'm wondering if the up arrow on the tray is only meant specifically for the orientation of the tray, to make sure you slide it incorrectly and not for the filter, per se.
Usually, for air filters (home, car, industrial, whatever) the arrow almost always indicates the direction of air flow. I have seen on some car air filters that the direction of the arrow just simply meant to put the filter in with the arrow pointing up, while other manufacturers mean the arrow to be pointing in the direction of air flow.
I just got this 2002 for my mom, and I'm doing the maintenance on it before I bring it to her. The very new aftermarket cabin air filter in there has the arrow pointing up, in line with the arrow on the tray. I'm much more familiar with the Gen 9 Corolla, and on that car the direction of air flow is going down. For some brands, you must put the filter with the arrow pointing down and others up, depending on what they meant (air flow direction, or orientation of filter). I assume the air flow is going down for this car. So, for this generic filter that is in there, should I switch the orientation? It doesn't have a name brand on it, but it's practically brand new, so I don't want to spend the money on a Denso or other OEM/OES filter.

I just got some work done on my Camry (CEL P0440 and P0446). The lights have been taken care of after the Charcoal Canister and hoses above the gas tank were replaced. Since then, I've noticed that I'm getting a gas smell in the cabin when the AC is turned on and when I turn the AC off and roll the windows down. No CEL is on, and I was able to pass emissions.

I'm having some trouble regulating the cabin temp in my 2002 SC430. It's cold outside here in Atlanta (in the 30's in the morning) and for some reason even when I have the temp set on 66 (not in auto mode) the cabin gets really hot! If I drop it to 65 the AC comes on. It's just weird.
Not sure where the temp sensor is located (will check the manual for that) but having a problem regulating the cabin temp. If put it the auto mode -- it ramps the fan up to high and cooks us all inside the car.
Chevrolet - S-10 :: 2002 - Air / Hissing Noise Inside The Cabin
my 2002 chevy s-10 started making an air/hissing noise inside the cab. It seems to be coming from around the air conditioner controls (center front). It hisses while running, whether moving or not, does not change when the air conditioner or fan is running or not, but does improve when accelerating quickly. What could this be and would it be an easy fix or a professional job (my husband restores old cars, but doesn't do a lot with the newer ones)?
View 1 RepliesVolvo - S80 :: 2002 - Intermittently Shut Off / Smelling Gasoline In Cabin Recently?
My 02' Volvo s80 has been malfunctioning recently and I am not entirely sure what it could be. Today I was driving it slowly and it just all the sudden lost power and turned off, I was able to start it back up about 30 seconds later then parked it and restarted it again after a few minutes. Seems to drive ok afterwards. I've been smelling gasoline in the cabin recently. And it has run out of gasoline at least three times in a the past few months. I am suspecting a fuel filter. I checked the fuse and relay which turned out to be fine. Then I put my ear near the gas tank area as someone turned the car on and off. I could hear a flowing type sound, so the fuel pump sounds like it's operating correctly. Could it be a fuel filter causing the random shut offs? I read that when a car runs out of gasoline the deposits and gunk at the bottom of the tank are forced out which could clog the fuel filter. Maybe the reason for the smell of gasoline too? My instrument cluster has been on the fritz so I've been calculating the gas on a notebook. However recently the gas seems to be fluctuating the amount it takes. Sometimes it will take a lot of gasoline and other times it will spill out.
