new guy with project 99LT

[310tahoe]

let me try this again ...

hey guys/girls... just wheeled and dealed myself a 99 tahoe LT with a bad motor... i pulled one out of a T-***** 99..and it runs fine...but...

1) headlights stay on
2) brake lights dont work
3) 3rd light doesnt work
4) blows air non stop..no matter what the knob says
5) cant make hot air come out
6) front doors sag
7) check engine light on
8.) battery drains in 3 days
9) brakes go to floor (looks like new booster)
10) brakes lock up on one wheel
11) brake fluid leaks from seal on bottum of brake fluid resivior

Which problems should we tackle first?

Brake pedal going to the floor is most likely air in the lines, easy fix...bleed the lines. Which brake locks up? The leak is a bad seal I bet, could be letting air into the lines.

The door sag can most liekly be fixed with new hinge bushings.

The check engine light....what code(s)

All the electrical issues, have you checked fuses of the problem areas that do not work?

I am just trying to put a dent in to this for you. The HVAC I am no expert on.

problem is.. here in los angeles.. unless you have a house and a driveway you have to "find" places to park cars..

so its at my buddies house the only thing i have done to it so far is remove the interior to scrub the dirt/grease and pot smell out of it..

going in a few minutes to take a look at it.. and most likely going to go to chevy and see how much a whole new turn signal switch is..

Welcome!

Where in 310 are you?


Brakes, fix the leaking fluid reservoir and then bleed all the lines.

Brakes lights, make sure you check all the grounds and clean them up.

Door sag, new bolt and bushing kit.

Engine light, have codes checked.

Hot air, is ithe engine getting up to operating temperature?

If one wheel is locking up and its on the rear its probably the wheel cylinder and is leaking brake fluid on the brakes(would also explain the pedal going to floor)....or if its locking up in the front then replace the caliper and hose on the side thats locking up-

headlights staying on---daytime running lights?

brake lights not lighting up---fuse?-brake switch?-bulb?

No heat--not enough antifreeze, bad coolant shut off valve inline with heater hose, stopped up heater core, or the heater control unit bad
