1995 Chevy Beretta car problems

Published by admin at 3:04 pm under Uncategorized

I was hoping that someone can give me some tips on something with my car, I have a 1995 chevy beretta and I know the wiring in the car is messed up to some degree (it came that way) such as if i use the back window defrost my auto locks wont work until i shut the car off and restart it….the clock on my radio works once in a while it comes on and goes off whenever it wants unless i leave the car off but just turn the key back…but anywho here is my question
a few years back I notice my windshield defroster no longer works when i turn the knob for it, the heat works just fine it could be warmer though not sure how to fix that or how to fix the defroster for the front and I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to fix it or if it can be fix or know of someone thats in or close to the plymouth indiana are that can take a look at it and possibly fix it?

1. If just the Heater is blowing no matter where the selector is positioned then you have a control issue. This is Vacuum Controlled. Make sure you have Vacuum going to the selector. If you hear a hissing sound from under the dash you have a leak. If you have Vacuum going to the selector then it’s not working. Get 1 from a Salvage Yard.

2.

Check your thermostat, sounds like it might be stuck in the open position.  I’ve bought new ones over the years that had that problem from the get go.  They now have come out with a more expensive one, around 10-12 bux, that is supposed to last longer.
 
As for the electrical problems, these are always fun.  The main harness might be 30-35 feet long, from the front to the rear of the car.  When then clock goes off and comes back, does it lose time?  If not, the problem is in the radio.  If it does lose time, the problem is most likely a problem with the plug on the back of the radio.  Your radio has two hot feeds, one for the radio that is switched off and on with the key.  The hot for the clock isn’t switched and remains on all the time.  You can usually find the pinout for the plugs on Google.
