first you have to know if you have spark at the plugs and if you have fuel pressure with a gage. then check the computer for codes and data on a scan tool this will help to both eliminate systems and possibly verify where you need to start diagnoses.

Make sure you have gas in the tank. Sometime the fuel gauge is not right. You should hear the fuel pump running for about 2 seconds when you turn the key on

I would say a new horn Put battery voltage directly to it & see if it works If it made any sound-- how could it be a fuse ? If it was a fuse, nothing would happen & a new fuse wouldn't do anything, until you found & fixed the reason a fuse failed

Alternator defective? Connected incorrectly?

remove the door panel, peel back the plastic barrier and reach through the holes in the door

If the relay is clicking,then the horn is the problem,make sure it has a good connection,if so,replace the horn.

cheapest way is go to autowreckers get the complete rear axle assembly, your car is front wheel drive right? so you have a solid axle in the rear not a massive job to change it!

do you have a defective heater switch? a ohmn meter is the fastest way to check this out, or go to auto wreckers and get a used switch and try that

you said you just replaced the fan speed resistor. make sure to check your connection and also check the fuse and if it does not work you might have to check your fan motor itself.

here is your cooling system electrical wiring diagram. use a digital volt ohm meter to check for power at relays and be sure to check fan operation (turn car on and fans and poke with a stick if fan starts operating and then shuts off it is drawing to much power and needs to be replaced. if blades will not turn fan is locked up and needs to be replaced. do not run engine for too long without proper functionong cooling system you could cause sever engine damage i.e. headgasket or cracked block. also be sure the radiator has plenty of coolant and is functioning normally hope this helps

Are we talking about the cooling fan not coming on if so first thing is to check the fuses if they are good there is a good chance that the motor is bad and needs to be replaced. Its not hard to do will take about 1.5 hours in the drive way.

Check the relay it's located in the fuse box under the hood.

Main bearing cap bolts there is a outer cap bolt that are torqued to 20 ft lbs + 1/4 turn. Then there a inner cap bolt that are torqued to 15 ft lbs + 1/4 turn. Con rod bolts are torqued 20 ft lbs +1/4 turn

It sounds like the bearings in your alternator are going so it's charging your battery but no a 100%.

Hi Kay, I'm glad to help! Kay, if you turn the key on and nothing happens at all. In other words: You do not here the engine turning over and sometimes the dash lights and guages do not work. Here's your most likely problem. Your vehicle has what they call a WIN Module which is the same thing as an old style Ignition Switch. When the WIN goes bad it's shuts everything down and nothing happens when you turn the ket to the start position. This WIN will need to be replace at the dealership because they will need to program the WIN and then program the KEYs to the new WIN. NOTE: DO NOT be alarmed if the tell you that you need new keys because they want program to the new WIN, sometimes this happens in fact so often that the manufacture started sending NEW KEYS with the WIN, But, only on some year models. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Kay.

Your talking about the rear (drums) brakes. They have auto adjusters they adjust when your braking in reverse. Try to apply your brakes in reverse a few times if not then....... There is an oval plug on the back side of the drum at the top toward the back of the car. Pop it out (with the back of the car in the air) use a flat headed screwdriver to turn the adjuster while turning wheel.
