Open it and check and see what could be bent or out of place,maybe the rubber seal came loose and is keeping it from closing.

Start in the storage compartment, there are screws in and around it.. once that comes out, then lift it up. Hidden will be a screw or 2 between the seats, you'll see them. Take those out, then you'll want to lift and pop up the center console all the way forward, eventually you'll see a couple of more bolts holding it down, undo those and you can take the whole unit out liting it up over the shifter. Good luck!

Purge valve? Explain...

Test for stuck relay. With everything off but key on, feel the tops of relays for a warm of hot one.

60,000 Miles - it's a belt and it's an interference engine!

It's a good chance that it's either wheel bearings or the CV joints.

go to kbb.com to find out the price of the model.Many factors adjust the value,such as mileage and condition etc.No one but you know those things

I don't own an Outlander but going by Pajero I suspect it is similar. On the inside of the door you might see a plastic triangle which covers the screws securing the mirror through the door frame. Gently pry away this plastic part (or unscrew, I don't know), then you will see the fastenings of the mirror base. Also you will find an electric connector. First separate the connector(s) if possible, then unscrew the mirror base. If you don't see the connector, the cable of the mirror may be routed downwards behind the inner door cover, there you go. Note of caution: Never understimate car designers, the solutions they find to hide fastenings are sometimes "outlandish".

Hi Adstew, the front diff has a sensor telling the control unit it when it is engaged (or not). It probably is, and it won't disengage. or the sensor is stuck. The selector lever tells the control unit you want 2WD but the sensor thinks the front axle is engaged. So it flashes. When shifting to 2WD, normally the front axle will come free after a load change or a bit of turning the steering from side to side, but it sometimes happens that it gets stuck. You can find out: lift the car free off ground, then select drive forward in 2WD. If the front wheels do not turn, then the sensor may be faulty or stuck. if the front wheels turn in 2WD mode, the diff is stuck and the sensor tells you so. Same or similar problem can happen with the center diff, by the way, on pajero/montero, etc. regards Winfried, the perfessa

With hot battery, turn all off, wait 10 minutes and then feel of all relays to see if one is warm or hot. Stuck relay can cause this.

it is very important, if the belt fails it will severly damage the engines valves and this repair will cost $1000's

The old bushes have to be pushed out with a hydraulic press, which means the suspension assemblies have to be removed. You will almost certainly need some specific sized jigs to fit the bushes and the dogbone, meaning a trip to a machine shop. If yu don't have a press, it will be cheaper to have the dealer do it as they have the tools.

Remove the lower timing belt cover. Remove timing belt cover bracket. Remove crank sensor.

Normally all you have to do is have the car and the key at the one place and with the computer that the dealer, has the key can be reprogrammed to the ECM/immobiliser. The same as if you loose a key ,buy a new one and have it programmed to the existing ECM
