Most starters are simply bolted into place. A good socket set and a pair of grips should be enough. The bolts could be tight and difficult to get to so you might need to work underneath the vehicle. Safely lift and support the vehicle on axle stands before you do this.

You have to remove the pan. Don't need to do it it unless it's plugged.

there is no manual method. It sounds like a limit switch is not working. Can you hear the motor try to operate? If you push up on the back of the glass a little bit while hitting the switch, what happens.

The sliding roof panel system consists of the following components:

• RH circuit breaker
• Timer module
• Power window relay
• Roof sliding panel switch (15B691)
• Roof glass panel (50054)
• Sliding roof panel motor (15790)
• Halo moulding
• Roof sliding panel headlining (519A02)
• Roof sliding panel slide links (502M78)
• Roof sliding panel housing (502C22)
• Roof air deflector (500A26)
• Center green diode strip

-------------------------------------
When the roof sliding panel switch is activated, a gear on the sliding roof panel motor drives a spline on the roof sliding panel housing. Within the roof sliding panel housing, the spline is connected to two sliding roof panel cables which cause the roof sliding panel slide links to slide and the roof glass panel to open or to close. The sliding roof panel cables and the spline are part of the roof sliding panel housing. Neither the sliding roof panel motor nor the roof sliding panel housing can be disassembled. If a malfunction is detected with either of these assemblies, the assembly must be replaced.

ok a car that you got used is never a bad idea to replace the fuel filter it is basic and low cost more importantly you should look up the year make and model and perform the required listed maintenance, when you get a used car like i always do you should get up to date on all required fixes because if you want ti to last and you care you never can be sure if the old owners took care of this stuff.-

Look at the new switch and if there is threads on it then the old one will turn out and you can thread the new one in the same place. You may loose some tranny fluid when doing this so have the new one ready.

Sounds like a bad cv axle. This can be a very dangerous condition if the cv joint were to fail. Please have it checked out immediately.

Is there water coming out of the tail pipe?

Although the starter could be taken off the car and tested, most car parts stores nowadays will test the starter whilst it is still on the car for you free, at least in the U.S.A. You might also have a corroded connection or a bad solenoid causing the problem. God bless your efforts.

If you can see the marks at all pull the oil stick out and clean it off and touch the marks with the edge of your bench grinder, Don't over do it or you will spoil it but just touch lightly as so to see them. I did this and it works.If you can't do that when you change the oil see where the oil line is and mark it at that point.
