vacuum pump
I found that my wire in the trunk went to the trunk light. Now this vacuum pump it does not work. I do not see any water stains on it. What powers this pump and how do I test this pump. I figured out my mystery wires on my own. I am hoping some one on this forum can help me with this pump issue. Is there some sort of diagnostic procedure for this pump? Can some one help me this time or am I on my own again?

The Service Manual lists a series of tests to do on the pump. If you are to get any help I suggest you change the attitude a bit. No one is paid to help you, it is done by Crossfire owners to help fellow Crossfire owners with their problems. Your input with the wire problem gave incorrect wire colors and a blurry picture, hopefully it will be better this time, otherwise your best option will be to throw yourself on the tender mercy of a dealer. |

Re: vacuum pump
Well I also own a Geo Metro convertible and am a member of the Geo Metro forum. I have to say that the people on that forum are much more helpful. I don't understand the problem of looking in your trunk and telling me the wire goes to the trunk light. Someone in the Metro forum would have done it that night and gotten back to me. I am new to this Crossfire but if I have to I can figure out most things myself in time. I have to say that I am a bit disappointed in this forum. Not all that much help in the short time I have been on here. I hope this forum is as good as the Geo Metro forum but only time will tell. Sorry if the truth hurts but that has been my experience in the short time I have been on here.

Re: vacuum pump
Yeah I feel really bad for not running out in 40 degree weather and tearing my car apart to help you out.. I'll try to do better for you next time. If only Velcro was used on all our panels!

Re: vacuum pump
I demanded nothing I asked for help. Sarcastic comments show ignorance. Sorry for you.

Ignorance is displayed in the inability to help yourself.. there are service manuals for free here. |
Re: vacuum pump
The word is you're not you funny. I just find this forum not all it should be. Thanks to the ones who tried to help me. Still not a constructive comment on how to diagnose the problem with the vacuum pump not working. Where does that leave me and what should I say about that?

Re: vacuum pump
The free help around here needs fired? We'll let you hire the new help..
I do believe there is "ask a mechanic" online.. your not happy with the answer they give you a refund right? And since I know you'll be grateful .. I'll throw out the "your welcome" while I'm still up tonight.. http://www.justanswer.com/sip/car-me...31saAqwV8P8HAQ |

Re: vacuum pump
Don't worry I'm done with this forum. I do not find people on here helpful or encouraging. I can find my way with this car on my own. I just love all your small minded derogatory comments. I will not post on this forum again. What a waste of my time. What a sad bunch shame on all of you.

Re: vacuum pump
New Crossfire owner here. What is this vacuum pump you speak of and what is it 's function.
I appreciate all answers and thank everyone who replies. This is my first Crossfire and my mind is a sponge trying to soak up all the info on this site. |
Re: vacuum pump
Your door and trunk locks are pneumatic. The pump operates the locks - look for the yellow hoses....
(There is an additional electric trunk lock that activates only while the top is going up or down - many of us disable it, as it can cause the trunk to refuse to open at times - who the hell is going to open your trunk in the 24 seconds the top is moving anyway?) |
