Brother Mark, I know just what you mean. What happened is that the wire on the end of the cable has pulled out of the hole on the lever at the control because the cable has dried inside the housing and needs lubrication. Near impossible to do without taking it out, then mas as well replace the cable. Most likely the lever on the control valve that shuts the water line off at the firewall has stiffened up and caused you to force it and pulled the cable out at the valve in front of you on the firewall under hood. I don't know pricing on this stuff because I always do my own work. I build my vehicles, not buy them. Either way, it's the water control valve and cable that need attention. I just open the valve with pliers under the hood for winter if I don't feel like changing it right away. the other stuff on the control panel works fine.

Both of these relays are involved. One appears to be in under hood fuse box. The other should be in interior fuse box. I usually want to check voltage and grounds for relays before replacing.

Check the heater fan motor they have a tendency to have the shaft bearing wear out and make a squealing noise from time to time depending on how the shaft wobbles and that is the reason you don't hear it when the heater and ac is off.

front of engine in the middle you can see it easy from under the vehicle

CV shaft

#1 is the one on the passenger side towards left looking from the outside facing rear

there should be a relay in the fuse box under the hood on drivers side check your owners manual for location

under the rear of the vehicle under the trunk

new plugs air filter clean your throttle body fuel filter is inside tank so you don't have to replace the fuel filter good luck

I don't think you can adjust the clutch I had to replace mine when I took it apart it was totally worn out also the bearing was shot good luck

you might have a transmission problem some of those cars had a lot of problems with trannys good luck

I think it could be the clutch or throw out bearing had the same problem I replaced the clutch and bearing worked fine good luck

Your back up light switch is stuck. Where you shift into rev. down column under dash or under console shifter. Free and oil Hope this helps Mike

The problem is one of three possibles:

1. The horn switch (button) on the steering wheel.
2. The horn relay.
3. The wiring associated with the two items above.

If you press the horn button and know where the horn relay is, you can listen for it to activate. If it does, then either the relay's output contacts are bad or the wiring between the relay and horn is faulty. If the relay doesn't activate, test for voltage at the relay coil with an multimeter in the relay socket. If there is voltage there when the horn button is pressed, then the relay is bad. If there is no voltage there, the the horn button or associated wiring is faulty.

how fast are you going? also the transmission is trying to warm up the engine before you get into higher gears

AC REQUIRES MUCH POWER TO RUN. MAKE SURE YOUR ENGINE WORKS PROPERLY; WITH NEW AIR-FILTER, FRESH OIL AND CLEAN GASOLINE.

Which side ?

-Possibly lose connector or burn bulb. Check and replace. Good Luck Mai

The center console piece around the floor shifter should normally be held in place with plastic clips ( some are held with screws ) and should just pop up with a gentle tug. The bulb can then be accessed for replacement
