Check fuse,relay,battery connection.

Replace your fuel pump

These problems are all due to a defective rotating ribbon contact that breaks under the steering wheel thios part connects the airbag and horn and cruise to the wiring harness. This part is called the clock-spring contact, a coiled up ribbon electrical contact that turns with the steering wheel while maintaining a mechanical connection to the airbag mounted on the steering wheel, to replace this part you must disarm the airbag system and remove the steering wheel, this requires a special steering wheel puller tool and that you disarm the airbag system before you start the work, to do this disconnect the battery negative cable for 1/2 hour prior.

No. Starter solenoid is attached to the starter itself and activates when key turned to start and is used to engage starter drive at starter into flywheel on engine to cause rotation. A relay sends current from ignition to starter solenoid to engage it as required.

Replace blower fan resistor,next to the fan behind glove compartment.It usually shorts out (CLOSED CIRCUIT) from the inside.it is under the passenger kick panel.

check autoshutoff relay..

it may go away but if it doesn't you may need to have a mechanic look at it- just make sure to keep the oil level topped up-the ticking noise is probably a lifter in the valve train- cheers Denny
