check and see if it has a cabin filter and change it is like an air filter but its for your ac.

Pretty straight forward. Disconnect the negative cable and then the positive cable from the battery. Then use a 3/8 rachet and remove the serp belt with the tensioner. Then remove the bolts that hold the alternator. Move out of the way a little. Remove the cable. Then disconnect the plug. Then install in reverse order.

You can pull the fuse to the wiper for now till you get it repaired. The common problem is the solder where the wire harness connects to the wiper motor goes bad. You can go to Auto Zone and replace the circuit board to the wiper module or you can save some money if you have a solder gun and some solder. The clip on the circuit board where the wire harness connects to is where it goes bad. Next time your wiper gives you problem, give the wire harness a light tap with the end of a screw driver and see if it stops or starts up. There was a recall on the wiper circuit board a while back, not sure buy you may be lucky if the dealer still has the recall active and it will not coast you anything. Good luck and hope this help's, the other thing would be the wiper switch is worn and needs to be replaced.

check the adjustment on the ignition switch

It might. If not, adjust the fork.

the most common cause is the window motor is defective

Cooling fan relay would be a good starting place.

Fan wires go to relay, than after relay, they go to engine temperature sensor located on the side of the block. There is another sensor usually attached to thermostat housing. This would be coolant temp sensor. You can test both sensors with an ohmmeter or multi-meter

Check that your vehicle battery is in good health and fully charged. Also check battery connections are clean and secure, as well as earth points. Check also that your alternator is working as expected. The connectors to the computer are a good tight fit.

It sounds like your car's computer is acting up. I would recommend that you take it to a stealership and have it scanned. I suspect that you may need to replace the computer

to change your tranny fluid and filter is relativily easy i will tell you step by step here.
1. raise the vehicle and support it with jack stands
2. get a large drain pan
3. locate the transmission oil pand and losen all the bolts removing the rear half of the bolts only and just losening the other bolts to keep the pan held up but allowing it to sag on the rear.
4 be carefull because in this step your likely to get a bath in tranny fluid. insert a flat srewdriver in the back of the pan and carefully pry it lose. now trany fluid is going to pour out of the pan.
5. remove the rest of the bolts be carefull because the trany pan still has a lot of fluid in it.
6. grab ahold of the filter and pull it down.
7. insert the new filter but make sure the rubber gasket came offf with the old filter they have a tendency to stick in the transmission.
8 replace oil pan and torque down evenly
9 refill with correct fluid to the correct level
10 take for a drive and recheck the fluid level and check for transmission fluid leaks
ps when the pan is off clean the inside of it out with brake cleaner really good
If there are no leaks after you get done congratulate your self on a job well done

hope this helps you

Thank you

ck switch is not in mist position

sounds like a plug is missing
or the drain in front of the wind shield is clogged

Underneath the cowling at the base of the windshield on the driver's side.

No, corrosion will not cause a battery to drain, even if the corrosion is on the terminals. Several factors can cause battery drain, I would first have the battery tested to see if the battery it self is not bad. If the battery is good, then the most common is a short. All most all new cars have a certain amount of drain,(measured in milivolts) this drain is for clocks and computer memory's, and it would take several days of a vehicle sitting for the battery to be drained. Don't immediately assume you have a problem if you see 2-6 milivolts of drain on a battery with the key out, now if your battery is being drained after being parked over night, you have a problem. The easiest way to pin down the problem short is to disconnect your positive battery cable from the battery, take a 12 volt test light and clamp one end to the positive cable, and hold the probe to the positive post. Now if you have a short the light will come on. Have someone help you by pulling the fuses one at a time. If when a fuse is pulled the light goes out you have isolated the short to that system. If you pulled all the fuses and the light never went out try disconnecting all the wires from the alternator, 9 times outta 10 do this will let you know where your short is. If the system is not critical like power locks some people just leave the fuse out. 

Have you checked the fuel pressure from the pump?

This is caused by a fault with the TAC (Throttle Acuator Control) system of your vehicle. You will have to test the TAC, ecu, and the electronic throttle actuator to find source of problem. Will have to take to dealership for these tests.

if they both stoped workin at the same time i'd start by checking all the vacuum lines going to the headlights
