Usually 1 of 2 things cause this. a bad brake light switch ,its found on your brake pedal under dash. or a blown fuse .if this was helpful please leave good feed back

Simply go to a good body shop. The best will be family owned and are proud of their work. Most likely you will need a gasket of some kind any possibly some welding. Look in your yellow pages under auto body work or body shop. Thanks for using Fixya.

Push the brake pedal and have someone see if you have brake lights. If you don't replace the brake switch. It is on the brake pedal under the dash. This will fix both problems. After that you have to replace the shifter. Because you cant buy the unlock solenoid with out the shifter.

Well, it's not really clear what the problem is with your turn signals. If they just aren't flashing, there's a good chance it's caused by one of three things... Either the flasher its self has gone bad, or on most vehicles, if one of the turn signal bulbs have burned out, the signals won't work on that side. Lastly, the simplest cause... The turn signal fuse! The flasher relay can usually be found either plugged into the fuse block or under the dash on the driver's side. It's usually silver or yellow and is about 1 1/2" round and about 1 1/2" high with two prongs. Just unplug the old one and plug in the new. Good luck and Happy New Year, Bill

it might look like its a full piece of plastic.. however you should be able to pull the knob off and then their will be a couple screws holding it on.. if your not able to reach up behind to grap ahold of the unit? then take it to a Pro.

There is a fuse/relay panel at the front of the car, under the hood. On the side of it, there is a little door that pulls up. under the door there is a 175 amp fuse. Replace it.

sounds like the blower motor is bad..its pulling to many amps to to run this blows the fuse.. replace blower motor.

Your horn relay may be shorting out, making your horn operate all the time. Have a look at your relays. You might find the horn relay is the same as another relay, If it is, try swapping relays with a known good one, and see if the horn operates normally. If so, get a new relay. Good-Day!

You should get quotes from qualified glass companies, not from fixya

If you have just had the pump replaced then take it back as it is obviously faulty or the pump has been connected up wrong. It is the responsibility of the shop that did the job to get it right or refund any money .

you might need a tune up but also check the pcv valve and its upper u-shaped hose directly under the throttle body.

First you have to identify what causes the problem.
To do this you have to:
1) When engine is cold check the level of coolant. If it is low fill it up.
2) Start engine and check if engine reaches regular temperature. If your engine is not heated enough it means your thermostat does not work properly and should be replaced.
3) If engine temperature is normal, then check the temperature of pipes that go to/from heater core. These pipes are located up the fire wall (easier access is from the passenger side). If pipe/pipes are cold (even engine is worm) it means you heater core is plugged and should be flushed. Keep in mind, flushing the whole cooling system is different from flushing heater core.
4) If pipe/pipes are hot/warm, turn off the fan, switch controller to the hot position, wait for 3-4 minutes and turn on the fan. Note if the cold air blows first or warm air blows first but it cools down in 5-10 seconds. If the air blows cold than it is most probably the problem with blend door or blend door actuator.
5) If air blows warm first and then cools down, then while running engine and remaining the transmission in PARKING position, press on the gas pedal until your engine reaches 3,000 RPM. Check if your heater blows warm/hot air. If it does, then your water pump does not work properly and should be replaced. If the air still cold, I would suggest to flush the heater core.

common problem is the water resivor cracks up at the bottom... it appears that your water level is fine because the car doesnt over heat but i am willing to bet that resivor doesnt have water to the top. The radiator will hold just enough water to keep it cool. I replaced mine 3 times the sulution is doing to sound weird but go to the junk yard and get one off a murcury sable. dont know why but the sables res doesnt crack like that

Twist it and pull it and then you may have to replace the cable and or end if it gets damaged puling it off and when you reinstall it put some dielectric grease on it to keep it from corroding.

It's a faulty door switch like everyone is saying. Spray it wd40 and should work

That is a very broad question. Could be anything. You have to give much more details to get a proper answer. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/kim_3202917d7c587455

There is no filter for the power steering. That car has Variable Assist Power Steering (VAPS). Make sure the pump is really the part you need before installing. There are a lot more components to that steering system that could cause problems. Could be pressure switch or control valve. I don't know what your symptoms are but, you should have someone look at it that is familiar with that system and able to properly diagnose the problem before you start changing parts.
