There's this website www.reliable-store.com They have books on ALL vehicles. it covers wiring diagrams, electrical diagrams, fuse diagram, torque specs, PCV, error codes, fault codes, service info, repair info, parts info, owner's/service/repair/parts/maintenance manuals etc everything totally.. I have 1987 toyota 4runner model and I keep servicing and when needed repair it on my own. worth it !!!

The fuse is located in the instrument panel fuse box. I have a picture of its location below. You have to open the passenger door to be able to see the cover. Below is also a diagram of the fuse layout and the fuse you want is the one marked "CIGAR LTR". It's in the 6th row up and the 6th one over from the left. This should be in your owners manual if you have one. If you don't and would like a copy, email me at [email protected] with your make, model and year. I will be happy to email you a copy & don't worry there is no cost for it. I hope this helps and good luck.

I really think you should go to www.reliable-store.com they have got books on every vehicle and also how to service/repair it, parts info, wiring diagrams, electrical diagrams, fuse diagrams, error codes, etc everything

I had got help from its manual from online www.reliable-store.com. Here's the site link I am sure they will help you

I put water/coolant mixture in the radiator in the morning ???? You need to do this every morning ? Radiator cap . Have it tested along with the cooling system , pressure tested . Cooling fans work ? White somke coming from the tail pipe , coolant in the oil ?

The exact nature of the creaking is important, and you have not provided enough info to narrow down the problem. The only "creaking" noise I have ever heard like that was coming from the front wheel. If it is going "creak -creak-creak" and changes as the car changes speed, I would check that.

Using the RESET button

1. Adjust all tire pressures to the recommended kPa/psi.
2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
3. Press and hold the red RESET button located in the passenger side instrument panel fuse block.
4. The LOW TIRE indicator will flash 3 times, then turn off.
5. Use the scan tool in order to clear the TPM DTC.

Crankshaft position sensor , ignition module , ECM etc....

I know there's a code where you can turn the key X number of times, or something like that ??????? No it can't , you need to take it to a qualified repair shop. Dodge , chrysler , jeep vehicles you can turn the key on - off - on - off - on three times an they show a coded in the odometer section of the instrument cluster . GM vehicles you need to plug in a scan tool . Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop.

I would first check for a broken or shorted wire to body of car. Mouse damage or green corrosion. This is because you say fuses are blowing. Good luck Friend.

This requires lamp replacement - and that means pulling the instrument cluster. I have done this on several cars, it has been easier than one may think. Read up or look for YouTube video for your car. Given the age and one has failed, pretty shortly all will statistically - so replace the rest. This repair takes me about 30 minutes - you may want to leave this to a shop mechanic.

You could check pressure and flow at the fuel filter.If the exhaust is VERY quiet it could be a plugged catalytic converter.

The fuel pump will run on a prime cycle for approx 5 seconds whenever the key is turned on, but only after it has been off for at least 10 seconds and whenever there is oil pressure.

Is it leaking oil or antifreeze? If it's oil at this location ,it is most likely the seal on the sealed (not used) distributor hole plug.(an easy fix). If it's antifreeze it will most likely be the gasket between the head and intake.A little work but not bad.You will have to pull the valve covers and the intake but the heads stay on.

Is the radiator full? make sure there are no air pockets in the engine block. Check the coolant level often.

You probably are about to have an issue with your VATSS system and need to look into having your ignition switch changed.

You haven't screwed the caliper piston back in far enough

Wow man that sounds to me like a temperature sensor that could be going out you might want to check the last job that you did to ensure that everything is put together the way it's supposed to be by the factory sometimes people do mechanic work and as you're going in to fix something something else breaks that they don't pay attention to you must pay full attention and everything in your engine bay
