gear box switch seek dealership help could be very complicated

Hi, you could check the water resovior in the expansion tank and see that its up to the line if ok you will have to check or better re-new the engine thermostat as it may not be working properly and last of all check your radiator for any blockage.

You have a reservoir that has fluid level markings for hot and cold for the coolant fill it to the full mark for cold after the engine is cooled down. If this is the reservoir that burst and it leaks then replace it. If the engine just overheated and boiled the antifreeze out then find out why and fix that issue.

check transmission fluid level. If fluid level adequate, suspect internal transmission problem

Could be a few things, But most likely the TCC solenoid is bad. It's inside the transmission. Have the codes read.

O/D is "Over Drive". This is the recommended transmission setting when driving normally. You should disable O/D when towing a trailer, when climbing hills or when the transmission is "hunting" (shifting back and forth over a very short period of time). O/D provides maximum fuel efficiency by allowing the transmission to shift to the highest gear, quickly. When O/D is disabled, the transmission may not shift to the highest gear range and it may take longer for the transmission to shift into the highest gear supported. You can see / hear this by looking at your tachometer (or listening to the engine rev if no tachometer) with the O/D on at any speed. Shutting it off should cause the tachometer to jump up noticeably (or hear the engine rev up) and the car should begin to slow almost immediately. You'll need to step on the gas to maintain the speed when you switched it of. This additional fuel is what you saved when in O/D. The up side of O/D off is more responsive acceleration - but at the cost of fuel efficiency. I hope this helps :-)

try a dealer or wrecking yard.

ensure that the radiator is full to that radiator cap. Check that the wiring to the coolant level sensor is intact as it needs a complete circuit through the unit and coolant to operate correctly.

if your asking where this is and you have a 4 cylinder motor, its the first oxygen sensor you come to following the exhaust from the exhaust manifold towards the rear of the car. if you have a 6cyl or 8cyl motor its on the side cylinder #1 is on. again following the exhaust as mentioned before.

IT IS OPERATED BY THE ON-BOARD COMPUTER. IT MAY NEED TO BE CHANGED.

It could be that the motor in your antenna has gotten disconnected or the plastic cable that winds the antenna up and down has broken. Typically, one simply replaces the antenna when it quits working.

sounds like you have a large vacume leak

Check the mechanism inside the gear lever thumb button in case it has failed.

Please see a transmission service center for this one. Could be low on fluid, causing improper pressures inside the case, or it could be a solenoid. Or a torque converter, or the shift plates. This is why you must see a qualified person. Without a check engine code, (you can get it read at most auto parts stores like O'Reilly's) there wont be any diagnosing done over the web. Its a combination of sound and feel to really get a good diag.

The brake light switch at the brake pedal controls the brake lights and the gearshift release solenoid. It should have no effect on the signal lights. You may have 2 problems. You can try tapping the brake light switch and moving the contact plunger by hand to see if the brake lights/shift release will work. If it starts operating again, I would replace it immediaetly before it fails completely
