How Do I Remove the Drivers Side Door Panel on a 1994 Jeep Wrangler

How Do I Remove the Drivers Side Door Panel on a 1994 Jeep Wrangler?

Jeep introduced the Wrangler model in 1987 and continued the YJ version until 1995. The door panel on the 1994 Jeep Wrangler can be removed to access the interior components of the door. Speakers and door lock assemblies often need maintenance, and removing the door panel is the only way to access them. The panel in each model-year of Jeep Wrangler is identical and removed the same way.

Instructions

    1

    Remove the two Phillips head screws that hold the interior door handle in place. There is a screw at each end of the handle.

    2

    Remove the Phillips head screw on the door handle lock mechanism.

    3

    Pry off the plastic panel from the metal surround with a flat head screwdriver. Place the screwdriver between the plastic panel and the metal door and slide it in between until each plastic clip has been removed. Work around the door in a clockwise fashion until the panel is removed.

    4

    Disconnect the locking rods from the interior door handle. The locking rods connect to the handle and need to be pulled up through the bracket manually to be removed.

    5

    Remove the panel and place it on a flat surface. If the panel needs to be re-installed, do so in the reverse order of removal.

How to Pull Codes From a 1994 Toyota Pickup

How to Pull Codes From a 1994 Toyota Pickup

You can pull the codes from your 1994 Toyota pickup right from home using an OBD I scan tool. This tool is used to retrieve trouble codes and reset the On-Board Diagnostics computer (OBD). It can be purchased at any auto parts retailer. Sensors positioned throughout the vehicle monitor all the functions of the mechanical and electrical functions of the pickup. The OBD computer alerts you to any trouble codes by illuminating a warning or service light on the pickups instrument panel.

Instructions

    1

    Plug the OBD I scan tool into the diagnostic port located on the drivers side dash under the steering column. The port is the same size and shape as the OBD I scan tools cable. Dont force it into the port, or you may bend the pins.

    2

    Put the key into the ignition, and turn it to the "II" position, but dont start the engine.

    Turn on the scan tool. Wait for it to retrieve the codes. It will display them on the face of the scan tool.

    3

    Write down the codes.

    4

    Unplug the scan tool, and turn off the vehicle.

How to Disconnect the Battery from a 1994 Chevy S10 Pickup

Disconnecting the battery cables from the battery on your Chevy S10 pickup is necessary anytime you are working on the engine or electrical system in your truck. The cables come off very quickly and will ensure the engine cannot get accidentally started or cranked over while you are working around moving parts or parts that could become suddenly energized. If you are replacing a battery in your S10, you will need to remove the cables as well.

Instructions

    1

    Open the hood of the truck and locate the battery on the passengers side of the truck. Loosen the clamp bolt on the negative battery cable end with a wrench.

    2

    Lift the negative battery cable off the negative battery terminal and isolate the cable away from the battery. Loosen the clamp bolt on the positive battery cable end with a wrench the lift the cable off the battery.

    3

    Isolate the positive battery cable from the battery terminals while you work. Since the cables are no longer connected to the battery, they can be secured away from the battery together with no risk.

How to Place a Timing Belt on a 1994 Toyota Tercel

How to Place a Timing Belt on a 1994 Toyota Tercel

The Tercel is a subcompact car manufactured by Toyota from 1978 to 2000. The fourth generation of this series includes 1991 through 1994. The standard engine for the 1994 Toyota Tercel is the 3E-E, a four-cylinder, 1.5-liter engine with a single overhead camshaft. The recommended replacement interval for the timing belt in a 1994 Tercel is at least 60,000 miles.

Instructions

    1

    Remove the cable from the negative battery terminal with a socket wrench. Disconnect the undercover on the right side of the engine, and detach the cables for the throttle and accelerator. Detach the PVC hoses and the accessory drive belts.

    2

    Disconnect the air cleaner, air intake assembly and spark plugs with a socket wrench. Detach the vacuum valve from the mounting insulator on the right side of the engine.

    3

    Place a floor jack under the engine and support the engine to take the weight off the engine mounts. Remove the insulator assembly for the right engine mount. Disconnect the valve cover with a socket wrench.

    4

    Turned the crankshaft clockwise to align the timing mark on the crankshaft sprocket with the zero mark on the crankshaft housing. Disconnect the crankshaft pulley with a socket wrench. Remove the covers and guide for the timing belt.

    5

    Detach the spring for the timing belt tensioner, and remove the tensioner spring. Loosen the idler pulley for the timing belt with a socket wrench, and push the idler pulley as far to the left as possible. Tighten the idler pulley to hold it in place temporarily.

    6

    Remove the timing belt from the pulleys and disconnect the idler pulley with a socket wrench. Mount an adjustable wrench to the camshaft to hold it in place and remove the center bolt from the camshaft sprocket. Disconnect the sprocket from the camshaft.

    7

    Remove the spring for the timing belt tensioner. Measure the free length of the spring at the inside faces of the hooks and replace the spring if this length is greater than 1.512 inches.

    8

    Align the camshaft pin with the No. 1 mark on the bearing cap of the camshaft. Align the pin hole on the camshaft with the 3E mark on the camshaft sprocket. Install the camshaft sprocket onto the camshaft and tighten the retaining bolt to 37 foot-pounds with a torque wrench.

    9

    Align the timing mark on the crankshaft timing pulley with the timing mark on the oil pump. Place the new timing belt onto the crankshaft sprocket and camshaft sprocket. Attach the spring for the timing belt tensioner and loosen the bolt for the idler pulley to apply tension to the timing belt.

    10

    Tighten the bolt for the crankshaft pulley with a socket wrench. Rotate the crankshaft two full turns clockwise and align the timing marks again. Torque the bolt for the idler pulley bolt to 13 foot-pounds with a torque wrench.

    11

    Replace the guide and covers for the timing belt with a socket wrench. Connect the crankshaft pulley and tighten its mounting bolt to 112 foot-pounds with a torque wrench. Perform steps 1 through 3 in reverse order to install the remaining components.
