Fix It

Lift the hood of the Focus and prop it open.

Locate the air filter box. It is the large black box just behind the left headlight.

Unbolt the air filter box from the air intake hose using the socket wrench and socket.

Remove the air filter box from the engine bay and place the new one in its place.

Connect the new air filter box to the air intake hose and bolt it into place.

Open the Saturn Vues hood and locate the terminals on the battery.

Move the operational vehicle close enough to the Vue that the jumper cables can reach between them.

Connect one of the jumper cables red clamps to the positive (+) terminal on the dead battery, and then connect the other red clamp to the positive terminal on the jumper vehicles battery.

On the jumper vehicles battery, connect a black clamp to the negative (-) terminal and then connect the other black clamp to an unpainted metal surface on the engine block to ground the connection.

After five to 10 minutes, start the Saturn Vue. Idle the engine for another five to 10 minutes before disconnecting the jumper cables.

Disconnect the jumper cables by reversing the above steps. Close the hood. The jump start process is now complete.

Pop open the hood of the vehicle. Find the battery. Behind the batter is a black fuse box. Release the retaining clips and lift off the top of the box.

Look for the "Reset" button below a reddish-orange block. Press the button and hold it for five seconds.

Put the key in the ignition and turn the vehicle on, but dont start the engine. Wait one minute. The light should have turned off. If not, turn off the vehicle and turn the ignition to the "ACC" setting. Press the "Reset" button again and hold it for 15 seconds.

Turn off the car and remove the key. Put the key back in the ignition and start the engine. Let it run for at least two minutes. The computer should now have registered the reset and the service engine light should now be off.

Spray window cleaner on the rear window of the vehicle and wipe the window with a rag or newspaper. Inspect the defroster tab. Crack the vial contained in the defroster repair kit. Apply the adhesive in the vial to the window and the back of the defroster tab supplied with the repair kit. Hold the defroster tab against the window for one minute. Slide the connector for the defroster onto the repaired tab.

Start the vehicle. Turn on the rear defroster.

Place the black and red leads of a voltmeter on each defroster grid. When the voltmeter reads zero, you have found the broken lead.

Apply the masking tape supplied with the defroster repair kit above and below the broken line in the defroster grid. Shake the container of conductive paint for 30 seconds.

Spray the conductive paint over the gap left between the top and bottom sections of masking tape. Remove the masking tape from the window. Allow the paint to dry for 30 minutes before using the vehicles rear-window defroster.

Remove the negative battery cable with a socket wrench, and wait two minutes. This allows the capacitor in the airbag system to discharge, and prevents the airbag from deploying. Discharge the rigerant in the air conditioning system, and detach evaporators suction line jumper.

Remove the mounting screws that attach the heater to the air conditioning unit with a socket wrench. Push the mounting bracket and rigerant lines out of the way to gain access to the heater.

Detach the wiring harnesses for the fin sensing cycling clutch switch, blower motor resistor and blower motor relay. Cover the alternator with a shop cloth to prevent coolant from spilling on it. Drain the coolant in the radiator into a clean container for later use.

Disconnect the coolant hoses from the heater with a socket wrench. Remove the right headlight assembly, support assembly for the right radiator core, support panel for the right cowl grille and the grille panel. Disconnect the screws that attach the heater housing to the blower motor housing.

Disconnect the door motor link from the distribution duct in the passenger compartment. Use a socket wrench to remove the nuts in the glove compartment that fasten the heater to the dashboard.

Remove the stamped nut in the engine compartment that connects the heater housing to the dashboard with a socket wrench. Detach the heater housing from the housing for the blower motor. Pull the heater housing from the dashboard so that the door link clears the hole in the dash panel. Remove the heater housing from the vehicle.

Remove the pivot shaft nut from the blend-air door of the heater housing with a socket wrench. Pivot shaft nut. Detach the mounting flange boot and lever from the blend-air door. Disconnect the motor relay and its mounting bracket from the high-speed blower motor on the heater housing. Disconnect the screws from the top cover of the heater housing with a socket wrench, and remove the cover.

Remove the screw that fastens the tube support bracket for the heater core to the mounting boss. Remove the heater core from its housing.

Place the new heater core into its housing, and fasten its support bracket to the mounting boss with the retaining screw. Tighten the screw to 20 inch-pounds with a torque wrench.

Complete the installation of the new heater core by performing steps two through seven in reverse order. Attach the suction line jumper for the evaporator, and charge the air conditioner with rigerant. Connect the cable for the negative battery terminal with a socket wrench.

Find the red wire on the left side of the amplifier. Connect one end of the voltmeter to this wire and the other end to a piece of exposed metal. This should make a complete circuit. If the amplifier does not power on following this, then the problem may be with the amplifiers wiring.

Find the ground wire at the back of the amplifier. The wire is black and should be attached to a piece of exposed metal. Apply a piece of electrical tape to the ground wire and attach it firmly to a piece of exposed metal if not already connected. This creates a full circuit.

Remove the white fuse from the fuse terminal located on the left of most amplifiers and replace it with a new one. A blown fuse will generate no power for the amplifier, rendering it useless.

Stick pieces of electrical tape to each wire that is coming out and into the back of the amplifier. Each wire is partially exposed at one section to allow a connection to the fuse terminal. However, this can cause short circuits, and the connection between these wires and the fuse terminal isnt vital as it is powered by the main wire running on the side of the amplifier.

Empty the carburetor of fuel by closing the petcock and starting the engine. Let the engine run until it stalls.

Remove the entire air cleaner assembly, including the air cleaner cover, the air cleaner and the air cleaner backing plate. Use an Allen wrench to remove the cover, Torx sockets or drivers to remove the air cleaner and a socket wrench to remove the backing plate. Disconnect the breather tubes by hand.

Detach the enrichener knob from the bracket above the horn.

Pull the carburetor partly out of the black, rubber seal ring that connects it to the intake manifold. Use a flashlight or shop light to locate the enrichener cable and find where it screws into the carburetor. Remove the old cable by unscrewing it.

Clip the knob end of the new enrichener assembly into the bracket above the horn. Snake the enrichener valve end of the new enrichener cable assembly under the gas tank to the back of the carburetor.

Insert the wire and ball end of the enrichener valve into the opening in the back of the carburetor. Thread and hand-tighten the black, plastic cable sealing cap on the end of the enrichener assembly to the back of the carburetor. Do not use a wrench.

Reseat the carburetor in the seal ring. Visually inspect the carburetor. Reattach the entire air cleaner assembly, including the breather tubes.
