Three part solution,
1. Lube the hood locks (yes there are two) the one you manuver from the inside (make syre you get the WD40 inside the hole wire and the latch you flipp from the outside when you open the hood.
2. Make sure the return springs for both locks are not broken otherwise no amount of lubing will help.
3. Adjust the lock. Open hood, remove grill losen bolts for the locks slightly, adjust and make sure they engage and release properly, tighten locks again and reassemble.

My 2006 Chrsyler 300C 5.7 started getting hot up to 235 degree how do determined if it is water pump or thermostat or
Thanks john

First thing to do is replace the fuse, check the seventh fuse from the top and see if it is burned out. Next, look at the ignition/shift interlock cable, it is likely loose on one of the ends, probably in the ignition. Also make sure you are pressing the brake all the way down before trying to change gears

check yahoo for diagram

Are you pressing down on the brake padle when you are trying to get it out of park? If that don't work check the fuses & there may be a relay that's may be related to a safty divice to the stick shift. If you don't press the brake padle the stick shift will not release so if you leave the car running a child could not push in gear. The lock silinoid is at the gear console

the regulators which are located on the alternater often go out that is probably the problem either get it rebuilt or get a new one.

your injectors arnt opening make sure that your white relay is good check grounds clean off the battery post. whats happening is your cold start injector is spraying a little fuel in to get it going and it is running off of that.

The SRS light is referring to an a problem that has been detected in the air bag system.
The problem could be anything from an electrical system to a sensor or module problem.
You can take your vehicle to your local Auto Zone or Advance Auto and ask them to scan the car for trouble codes, they will scan and report the codes to you at no charge. Write the codes down and respond back to this post and we can start diagnosing the issue.
Let me know.
Regards,

To pinpoint the cause of the problem,you has to pay a visit to the dealer.


I recommend you to go though my check list to make sure it's not something cause by dirty contact.

=====

Here's a quick check list for most common cost of SRS / Air bag problem.


Dirty contacts on driver and passenger seat belt buckles

Dirty contacts on seat belt connectors (under seats)

Dirty contacts on driver and passenger sides weight sensors (under seat)

Seat covers

Weight on passenger seat

(Example: grocery package trigger SRS / Air Bag light on the way home.)

I recommend you to pass an vacuum over the contacts and use CRC electronic parts cleaner to rule out connectivity problem.

I DO NOT disconnecting the negative battery connector to clean the code(s)

Without the code(s) the dealer will takes "BILLABLE" time to reproduce the problem.

Could be tire noise, could be rear wheel bearing, differential (if rear wheel driven), or could be something associated with the brake.

Try swapping the tire with another tire. If the noise moves with the tire, it's the tire. If it stays, it's brakes (unlikely for the noise you mention), rear wheel bearing, or rear differential (lack of oil). Will probably need to have a mechanic to identify and repair.

It depends on how far you ran it out of fuel. If you ran it until it would not run any more and then tried to start it again several times; you may need to bleed and prime the fuel system to get it started. You start at the line coming from the tank and move toward the fuel injectors. You have to loosen a fitting and have someone pump fuel until the air bubbles stop and then tighten. A friend once worked for two hours to get his tractor started after his daughter ran it out of fuel. This is why they recommend that you do not run a fuel injected car out of fuel and if you do to turn it off as soon as it starts to miss badly.

Check the relays. A worn connection could cause this.
The fuel pump relay is often the culprit.
If you try twisting the relays, gently while it's running, or while you try starting it, you may find the problem.
Hope that's it.

the fuel pump is inside the gas tank, not sure of the location of the relay, it is usually in the under-hood relay center, u should show it in your owners manual.

check the water pump for leaking

Trace the throttle cable from the accelerator pedal to the engine block , it will terminate in a lever

Somewhere on the backside of that lever is a screw which you can screw in to set the idle speed

you have to change the spark plugs

You can try calling a Volvo Dealer but they usually make you come in in person to get them. You'll need your VIN number.

is the unit for tha modle year ? is it a universal or oem replacement? the shop you got it at should have the matching lines, how ever if time is agance you try a hose building centre they may be able to provide an adaptor to match your hose

Should be in fuse block with other fuses. Refer to owners manual for location
