You will need to install an AC bypass pulley. This will take the place of your AC compressor and will allow you to use your stock belt. about $25 from Rockauto.com.

Light problem is likely due to light switch or blown fuse. Other probs are does it crank or not.

That is a pretty tall order. A "complete" wiring diagram would take a whole lot more room to post than is allowable on fixya. Also, there would most likely be a bunch of copyright laws broken if we did.
Also it would be impossible to post the correct wiring diagrams for your vehicle because you failed to mention MAKE, MODEL, ENGINE SIZE, and TRANSMISSION TYPE. (This makes big differences in wiring diagrams.)
The best advise I can give you is to subscribe to the repair information for your vehicle at ALLDATA
for about $27 you can get ALL of the factory repair information for your vehicle.

The only other suggestion I have is to take it to a professional automotive sevice technician and see if he can get it straightened out for you.

Where's The Fuse?

What Else Could Be Wrong?

check the vans oil to make sure the oil is not foamy or has a whitesh color to it, if so, then it is getting antifreeze into the oil, but if the oil checks out fine, then remove the spark plugs 1 at a time , and examined them to make sure they don't have any antifreeze on them, while you have the plugs out, give each cylinder a compression test to see if any of the cylinders have low readings, if so, and the other cylinders had good readings, then i would suspect a blown head gasket, or a cracked head, or block, also if all of the above checks out ok, then i would check the fuel filter, and if it hasn't been replaced, it could be stopping up on you , and not allowing the proper amount of fuel to be properly distributed to your vans engine. hope that this information has been helpful to you.

Sounds like The catalyst converter needs to be replace. This is part of the exhaust system, it filters the carbon and other gasses to reduce pollution which in turn keeps the exhaust from being black.

It can also the the Main Manifold gasket.

In eighter case your car has to get to a garage, this is one that cant be talked through to fix at home.

please be more specific in your question

What is the question here??

Send us the year, model and cyl number about your Chevrolet.

The hood is actually latched twice. One latch releases when you pull the handle under the dash, then you have to raise the hood a bit and release the second latch under the front / middle part of the hood. I have had to pop the hood with a long screwdriver from the front through the grill when the cable broke. If you can see this through the grill you might be able to open it this way.

You will need to have the trans removed and rebuilt
No other solution
Figure $1500.00

You have a leaky axle seal. Sometimes this is cause by the vent or breather being plugged. Sometimes they just wear out and another cause is bad bearings. Either way the axle has to be pulled and seal replaced.

Not sure which one you need to replace (there are several but the r&r is the same. Welsh plugs are generally not easy to get at. Removal is simple....take a screwdriver and put it into one side of the cup and strike the back with a hammer and the plug will turn sideways. You can easily grab it with pliers.
You need a straight shot at it to install the new one. Usually you can put a large socket inside it and drive it in. If you cannot get in there to do that you can use a rubber replacement plug. Just put it in the hole and tighten the nut in the center. The plug will expand and seal. As far as objects in your way, if you can't get in there with either method, you will need to start removing things 'till you can.

This IS unusual!

Do the pumps actually fail, or is leakage the issue?

If leakage is the issue, you may have a damaged gasket mating surface on the engine, that prevents getting a good seal on a new gasket and water pump.

If this is the case, you might try putting on 2 gaskets to make up for the damage and use a good sealer (personally I like Coppercoat).

Hope this was of some small measure of help.

Good luck!

Can you be a little more specific? What year and model is your car? Which engine do you have? Is it carburated or fuel injected? A little more information will be a big help in coming up with a solution for your question.

The transmission filter is located inside the large pan on the bottom of the transmission. There will be many small 10mm bolts to remove approx 15 of them.Just loosen them because when the seal is broke on the pan gasket the fluid will start to come out that is how it is drained. Once removed you will see it sitting there. Remove it install the new one with the o ring and replace the pan gasket. The gasket usually always comes with the filter. Re-install pan and tighten bolts in a criss cross pattern equally

Yes some vehicles do have an ac compressor bypass kit. What is the year, make, model,and engine size of the vehicle you are question about.
