In the trunk up next to wheel wells. Start peeling carpet out of the trunk walls and you will find it. The rear speaker wires run right to it. Please beware that only the 10 speaker systems have a factory amp. The stock 6 speaker systems run straight off of the factory radio. You can buy a factory amp bypass harness for this model at any good car audio shop. Please find my answer helpful.

that means the left headlight occasionally doesn't work.

no enough information to leave us all wondering what you bypassed. You know exactly what you did but failed to communicate to anyone in this forum what you bypassed to get it to go.

Hi Anon To find out what the problem is, you will have to get the code read as this will indicate what the fault is, when the engine management light comes on it could be 1000's of different things, so each error has its own code, you will have to take it to a garage or dealership to enable them to connect a diagnostics reader to your vehicle, reduced power is telling you , you can only drive it slowly as there is a fault and it is not 100% sure what the fault is ( car computers are not intelligent they just know something is wrong ) so it is saying reduce your speed until the fault is fixed. hope that halps

NEED 4DIGIT PIN OR HAVE IT UNLOCKED......U CAN NOT BYPASS IT....

Check the battery

from the book the oil pump is driven by a chain from the crankshaft. It is very possible that the oil pump has come loose and thrown/broken the pump chain. It will require a sump removal to check it out. recheck the oil level as what you read may have been a froth level . there is no reason for extra oil unless it was overfilled to start with or there is water contamination ( white /grey oil)

the transmission warning light is an indication of a fault in the transmission which you apparently ignored. You were supposed to have that fault codes read immediately the light came on as that is when the repair will be at the cheapest. have the codes read now to determine what is wrong

d-ick!!!

take the bulb back out and clean inside the bulb holder, there may be some corrosion or other debris in there

One Drive shaft support And two new flex couplings and you will be good as new!!!!

In cold weather some steaming is normal as a cold engine warms up. Otherwise, it sounds like a blown head gasket.

your car is safe to drive you just wont have abs braking system. you can get it checked by a shop chances are it will be needing a wheel sensor. not too expensive.

if this is the 1.6 version then at this year its no doubt worn out ,well known for wearing out and burning oil .

Hi Typical problems arrising from a faulty thermostat are, overheating, water pipes pressured up verry hard, warm water in the expansion tank and or radiator but engine hot, and it might even throw up an error code maybe P0604. Hope that helps
