The relay turning ON and turning OFF operation is controlled by the PCM. If the engine coolant temperature is correct it will work properly. If it is too high the pump will pump on.

If your car has Manual Climate Control (that is without ECC - Electronic Climate Control), then the problem is most likely the resistor. Costs about $85 on line. Models with ECC do not have a blower motor resistor. On those vehicles, this function is handled by the A/C Power Module. There are four different power modules, depending on your build date (chassis number). Any of them will run you about $125 on line.

to get the radio code to unlock the radio you can go to the dealer which is very expensive -- OR you can go to http://www.radio-code.com/ and type in all the information that is required and you can get the code for $7.99.
information that it will ask you is the VIN # of the car and the radio ID code ( which is on a label on the radio itself ).
you might want to check the owners manual to see if it is printed in there -- and when you do get the code, make sure you write it down in the manual for future use.

next is the igniter. make sure fuel too.

HERE You go

First, measure the voltage between the two battery posts with the engine not running. It should be near 12.6 volts. If it is around 10.5 to 11.0 volts, suspect a shorted cell in the battery. If it is around 11.5 to 12.0 volts, charge the battery at a slow rate for about half an hour. Next, measure the battery voltage again while the engine is running. It must be between 13.75 and 14.75 volts. If it is still around 12.0 volts, the alternator is not working. if it still has a problem check the wires from the alternator to the battery for green corrosion and loss connections and make sure battery terminals are clean and tight.

Check and clean the terminals then boost the car to start it after it starts. Well it's running take off the positive terminal if the car stops running the alternator is no good and you have to replace it.

the last one i done some while ago i had to remove the front bumper ,grill and rad to get access .took me the best part of half a day as the bolts were corroded up

yes you should try to let the car warm up ten to fifteen min.be for you leave

check that the cables have not become disconnected from the control flap in the heater box or that an operating arm on the flap has not broken off. Cable outer casings could also slip out of their clamps.

not enough info. but make sure connections are clean and tight. if so have the starter tested, that is if you've not done any other work and accidently left something unplugged. there are other options but you've not given me much to work with, sorry.

Hi, this is usually caused by a worn out CV joint on one or both axles. Check to see if the boots are torn open. There are 2 boots on each axle. If they are torn, the joint is likely to be worn out or will soon wear out. Replace any axle with a torn boot. Please let me know if you have any questions, and thanks for using FixYa.

well your problem could be your alternator that die or might be your gas line that frose if its cold where you live good luck

You need an unlock code for what? If is is for your radio or alarm, consult your owner's manual and call the 800 number provided and be prepared to give the vehicle's VIN number (it's on your registration), name and address.

That definitely sounds like you need a new ignition.However,I believe there may be some sort of sensor to detect the ignition switch is on,but it would most likely result in basically all or nothing.All the lights would work or nothing would work.Keys and ignitions are definitely a wear out type of problem when your car gets to be that old.Another thing to consider is that if you do change the ignition,you still need the old key for the doorlocks and trunklock.I had a similar problem with my 1995 a few years ago.If you want to save a little money and are in the USA,I highly recommend a AAA approved shop.They are just as knowledgable and much less than a dealer and are more than capable of doing it correctly and honestly.I use one and they have consistently had the best price for repairs within a 20 mile radius so I do not even price shop anymore.If you have any questions or need more help,just comment here and I will get an autolink to your post and reply ASAP.I really encourage responses so I can follow up properly as I know where you stand and asking someone else restarts all the explaining because we cannot see other 'Expert's' responses.Good luck,Greg
