Change them every 3 years Should be under ignition coils

the dsc system is linked to the abs you need to get fault codes out of the relevant module using a code reader to sort this out, is the abs light on as well? that's a clue, if so the reluctor rings on the drive shafts are suspect or the front wheel speed sensors or link leads.

pull up the front of cushion on either side in turn, put your fingers under the front edge about 10 inches from outer edge you will feel a little plastic lever, you slide to one side, repeat for other side you can then remove seat cushion.

can you hear a click from the gear lever when you press the brake with the ignition on if not the release solenoid is not working could be the brake pedal switch

You likely tripped the Fuel Shut-Off Inertia Switch. The inertia switch is located behind the trim on the right-hand side of the vehicle, forward of the front door post, below the fascia. Pull open the small panel in the trim to reset the switch. Resetting the switch CAUTION !!!: To avoid the possibility of fire or personal injury, do not reset the inertia switch if you see or smell fuel. If no fuel leak is apparent, reset the inertia switch as follows: Press the button! If the switch was activated by the accident, you should feel it "click" when you reset it by pushing it. Happy Motoring!

shift linkage may be the problem. The shifter is not activating the switch to tell the reverse light off.

Remove under engine stone plastic shield there is a drain plug at the bottom of the radiator, remove the cap off the reservoir if the drain is blocked go ahead and remove the clamp on the bottom radiator hose and let it drain from there, if you wish to flush the system, you will need to remove the thermostat and flush it then fit a new thermostat., hope this helps. ps. be sure to use jack stands and a wheel chock.

I had this problem recently on my 00 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. I had to put it up on a jack, remove the wheel, take the brake pad housing off, and manually force the piston back into the caliper. It could be dirt in your break lines or that the cable just is rusted in a spot and got snagged somewhere. I hope this helps.

If it's a clicking noise then you likely have a stripped air door actuator. You will have to verify that and verify that the door itself isn't jammed or broken.

duel control valve stuck or default open

Hi,

The limp mode is activated when your transmission fluid is overheating.

British cars have their transmission with that safety system.

Check the fuse "transmission", in your fuse box, it might have been blown already.

You coud go to your nearest dealer to check on that and scan your computer for errors.

Hope that helps you out!

Thanks for using Fixya!

the blue connector i think is the low power/network connector.this car has can. and scp networks which are computer style networks which carry signals around the individual modules on the car. you dont say what probs you have . but jag diagnostic equipment would be the route to take,these cars suffer from corroded wiring around the front bumper and over the front wheel arches

check the caliper fulcrum lever it sounds like it has siezed you may be able to free it off or you need a new one whichever always pump the brake pedal a few times before working handbrake otherwise the handbrake will be poor

not easy has it has anti syphon if you remove the rear seat cushion by releasing 4 little levers 2 each side under edge of seat there are access points under black plastic gromments i dont no why you are removing fuel but to get it all out you will have to access both sides because it is a saddle tank
