Both low beam headlights are not working.Bill - 1999 Isuzu Rodeo - Preventive Maintenance - 10/10/2010High beam lights work, however, when I switch to low beam the lights go out.-
10/10/2010 BillBad dimmer switch. Play with switch a bit and see if you can ever get the lows to come on. Unlikely low beam on both burned out. How old are the headlight bulbs?
8/26/2011 DavidCantonWhy would it be the dimmer switch? This only controls how bright the dash lights are. More likely is the turn signal stock as this also houses the high/low beam switch. Not an easy thing to change though.

My check engine light goes on and off on my standard shift isuzu.mom - 1998 Isuzu Rodeo - Preventive Maintenance - 10/1/2010-
10/1/2010 darkmindYou have to troubleshoot first your check engine light to identify what is the stored trouble code in your vehicle? You can visit AutoZone or nearby auto parts store for free diagnostic. The trouble code will help you identify the fault in your vehicle’s trouble and point you to the right path in fixing your vehicle.
You can also visit this link if you want to have an idea how troubleshoot your check engine light http://www.automd.com/.../
10/1/2010 darkmindIt means your ECU/computer in your vehicles senses irregularities in your vehicle’s operation, it’s like a warning sign.

9/30/2010 Bobbybank one means it is on the side of the exhaust that has the number one cylinder. and sensor 2 means that it is the sensor after the catalytic convertor. As to which one is bank one you will need to get the cylinder numbering for the iszu 3.5l i'm not sure off the top of my head.

When I turn on the A/C the fuse blows after about 5 minutesRandy - 1997 Isuzu N - Preventive Maintenance - 9/1/2010-
9/1/2010 Voltes VIf you are blowing the fuse for the clutch you have an issue with the clutch winding (likely) or the wiring to the clutch (less likely). You can inspect the wiring to the clutch fairly easily and the overheating issue is likely related to reduced airflow through the radiator. Be sure there is no debris on the condenser or between the condenser and the radiator. You have a fan clutch that should be fairly stiff to turn the fan when the engine is off and it is hot. The fan shroud must be in place to direct the air through the fan.

Where can I find a reasonable priced gas tank for my isuzu trooper?AutoMD Member - 1994 Isuzu Trooper - Preventive Maintenance - 8/14/2010 -
Gas guage pegged at E Recently bought vehicle and found tank was completely full. Have driven over a hundred milesJL - 1999 Isuzu Rodeo - Preventive Maintenance - 8/5/2010also intermittant part of wiper function not working-
8/5/2010 EmilMDCheck all the wires for corrosion or damage first and check your fuel sender. Check the fuel gauge fuse, if blown replace it. To test the Fuel Sender Unit, you have to locate the sender unit first (top of the tank connected to the Fuel pump) Connect a ground to the sender unit connector, if the gauge reads to full, you have a bad sender unit.
If the indicator doesn't move, remove the gauge and jump the terminal located to the back of the gauge, if it does move, you have to replace the wire between the gauge and the Fuel Sender, but if it doesn't move, replace the gauge.

8/5/2010 JLThat sounds like a do'er. I have looked into fuel tank sending units and very few on-lines have it. Advance has one and a picture (looks like an old time cigarette holder) for $3.99. Could that be the deal...replace that along with an O ring? Wow thanks so much. I'm in Fredericksburg, Va.

4/7/2010 HouseCallAutoThere is a greater than 90% probability that you need a fuel level sending unit which is in the tank.

I cant get the power stering pump to loosen so i can change the belt ?djones - 1996 Isuzu Trooper - Preventive Maintenance - 3/26/2010-
3/26/2010 HouseCallAutoI see in a diagram that the P/S pump has a lock bolt just to the right of the pump if you were looking at the pump from the face of the pulley. Looks like a half-moon shape bracket.
