Your ECM is located underneath your glovebox. 1. Open glovebox and remove two screws at the rear corners of the compartment. (Should be just above the bottom surface of your glovebox) 2. Remove bottom section of glovebox. 3. Do what you will with the ECM that you have just revealed =] Have fun! ---Was removing my heater core when I came across the ECM by complete accident. ---1986 Isuzu Trooper II
Oil dipstick and tranny dipstick tigether on rear of engine, next to firewall, on drivers' side of vehicle.
It may. depending on if the vehicles are 2 door or 4 door. if they are both 4-door models it should be totally fine. if the 86 is a 2 door I'm not sure. double check with measurements. NO, Different body lines, 2 and 4 door
What is the problem? Do you want to replace fan or fan clutch?
