Hey Barry, go to your local O'Reilly's, Autozone, or Advance Auto and tell them your issue and ask them for their recommendations..... they WILL help you and it will be much easier than listening and trying to understand what I (or anyone) says on here..

Lock/unlock motor may be failing. Remove the door panel and remove the connector from the lock motor. Check the dc voltage at the connector while pressing the lock switch. If you see battery voltage, replace the motor. If the voltage is low, inspect the wiring.

If you have anything on the seats, it may be telling your computer that someone isn't wearing a seat belt. Are there any dash lights on?

that dosent sound like a bad fuel filter to me id try having your tires balanced the fuel filter is located in the tank and usually does not require any service. the tires could be out of round or just out of balance.

no need to do that with us as we have no reason for you to do that this is a free advice site TRy calling direct on the phone to the supplier/ provider that has your account

The factory hood ajar switch is integrated into the factory hood latch. It is a 3 wire connector with Pink/Black (A), Purple (B), and Black (C) wires in it. Wires A and B are signal wires from the BCM, Wire C is the ground.

Sorry dude , but you'll never figure it out . The electronics involved ,you haven't got a clue as to how this stuff works '

The liftgate can be opened by operating the switch on the instrument panel. Battery voltage is supplied to the liftgate actuator through the body control module (BCM). The BCM will pulse the liftgate actuator when a release input is received through the key fob, or the instrument panel switch. Not sure what your talking about . There is no sensor. there is a relay in the I/P fuse box LIFTGATE PCB relay . an a lift gate actuator motor inside the door . An there is a door ajar switch ,which is part of the latch mechanism. Do you have light lit on the instrument cluster - a picture of a little car with a door open , an maybe a chime sounding ? Not

If there is no exterior handle to open the hatch you are in a pickle. The rear hatch interior moulding assembly will have to be removed from inside the vehicle to access the lock assembly. This may crack/damage the moulding assembly as it is not designed to be removed this way. Once removed the door can usually be opened manually and then diagnosed for the problem. It may be a defective lock solenoid or latch assembly. I would have a pro look at it as they know how to disassemble these things with minamal to no damage.

Could be a couple of things,,,, one of your abs sensors is going out or bad,,, or maybe the charging wire coming off the alternator is coroded or loose

run the fault codes to find which sensor is faulty It may be preventing proper operation until the system is fixed.

No timing belt chain last a lifetime on those unless you got noise in the front of the engine if not you dont need to change it

Never knew it had one. I do believe the cars came with a valet key.

if you are talking about the abs sensor, it is part of the hub assembly and needs replaced as a unit If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_4c166ba81493f541

The accessories fuse should be the one

Sounds like me.

Um an egr valve isn't a part that your can just clean and it will fix your check engine light issues. You can remove it and if you see carbon buildup you remove it but more than likely it needs to be replaced. There are some new fuel additives that improve emissions and clean catalytic converters maybe these additives also clean the egr valve. Hope this helps good luck

Rather difficult but not impossible, check youtube for a complete walk-through
