Check dimmer switch make sure that it is on then check for power on fuse with a test light. If you have power go back to dimmer switch and check for power and ground. If all is good most likely a head light switch. Could be bulbs but not likely.

Tools and know how

Try unplugging the IOD fuse wait 10 sec. and plug it back in that should fix the problem. That's doing a radio reset.

Could be anything, I'd start by checking plugs wires and coils. Look for wear and burn marks. You can look for arching by letting the car run and use a spray bottle with water spritz water over the coils and wires if it is arching you'll see it.

you need to remove the wiper arms, the black plastic cowl- It's in 2 parts. there is also a weatherstrip that has push pins holding it and the front of the cowl. Once you get those off you will see the wiper transmission it is held in with a couple 10mm bolts. once the assembly is removed you can then see the wiper motor. Just remember once you change it over you need to time the motor if done wrong the wiper blades will just go down instead of going across the windshield.

Depends on where you live in the country.  In TN where I live most people just use 10W30 all year, but if you live in a colder area you would use 10W30 in the summer and 5W30 in the winter.  Hope this helps.  Thanks for an honest rating.

Dale, did you ever find what is happening with your immobilizer light/charging issue? I have same problem. I think I started car too fast after sticking key in ignition. I turned key extremely fast.

you need to first remove the woodgrain trim pieces to get access from the top start by the cup holder and work your way to the dash. then you need to remove the driver's knee bolster and then you can take the side panels off. if you follow the side panels twords the seats you'll see a seam you can pry there to start removal. you'll also have to pull out the armrest box. I can't remember if there are screws in it or it just pops out. you'll also have to remove the rear trim piece out also. These center consoles are not 1 piece so you have a lot of tear down time.
