Now I feel pretty dumb asking this, but the last thing i want to do is bust a piece of plastic.
The owners manual is really slack on my 96 3.8 showing me how to replace the air filter, the diagrams just dont fit the reality. Has anyone got a simple 1,2,3 step to avoid me breaking something.
Also .... the light bulb that is supposed to illuminate door switches has fallen out from where it should be, and I cant find anything it should click into, does anyone know where it should go. Thanks

 

the air filter is pretty simple... just pop the clips and lift the hood away. the air filter sits in there. there are 2 clips.

 

A '96 is a little different than a '00, niteman...

1. Locate the "clamp" (having a brain fart on what it is actually called) that is near the top of the filter housing.
2. Loosen it up w/screwdriver
3. Separate tubing from filter housing (may require some twisting/rotating of pieces)
4. Intake housing can now be slid out
5. Unbuckle the filter housing to get to filter
6. Install is opposite of removal

 

thanks will check it out
anyone help on he doorlight thing?

 

doorlight? *checking notes to see if he missed something*

 

air filter is a big help and i need to find a much better something thats more useful and easy to use.

 

cough *cold air intake* cough, and i'll go check my car for the door switch light thingy and i'll get back to you.

 

Look at the doorpanel above the window and lock switches. You should see a little hole. Now look on the other side of the panel where this hole was. That's where the light goes. It's kind of a pain sometimes to twist it in or out.
