have they checked the PCM/ECM fuses? some might be bad or the computer itself. does the car run poorly, bad fuel economy? you could go the the emission check place to have it checked. for alot less money it will tell you if it is computer related before spending more for a mechanic to analyse it .$15 in WA State.

Your high beam switch is bad most likely.

Sorry , no adjustment . Wiper/Washer System Components The Wiper / Washer System consists of the following components: • Windshield wiper / washer switch • Windshield wiper system module / motor • Windshield washer fluid pump • Windshield washer fluid level switch • WPR 25A fuse Wiper / Washer System Operation The windshield wiper motor module is part of the windshield wiper motor cover and controls the wiper motor operation. The windshield wiper motor is a 2 speed motor. Windshield wiper DELAY operation is a low speed wiper motor function with a variable delay interval between the wipe cycles. The DELAY interval is controlled through a series of resistors within the wiper / washer switch. Park Position Operation When the windshield wiper / washer switch is turned to the OFF position while the wiper motor is somewhere in mid-cycle, the wiper motor module will continue to operate the wiper motor until the wipers reach the park position. If the ignition is turned off while the wipers are in mid-cycle, the wipers will stop immediately where they are. The wipers will park the next time the ignition is cycled to the ON position.

Sounds like engine may be partially seized, try turning engine by hand to see if it is too tight

Is it 3.8? 5.5 mm.

Sounds like the remote receiver module in the car is malfunctioning and will probably need to be replaced.

check your fuse box and find the blow fuse. If you have the manual its a lot easier.

Check the electrical circuit Starter Voltage Drop

Hello George Stewart, I think you are looking for a RELAY... Already depicted in the suggested answers (by the time I retrieved you question from the SPAM answer you got (sales pitch: sorry). ~~ Totally FREE circuit Drawings & Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) are available on the BBB Industries website... Registration is required... (These are REAL documents)... BBB Industries Premium Alternators Starters Power Steering Products The only problem... Every time you return from the DRAWINGS you are in the Technical Service Bulletins... and must switch back to "WIRING"... but FREE... helps. I hope I have. Carnac the Magnificent

It's not coming out of overdrive when you touch the brake pedal because the brake light switch/OD shutdown is either out of adjustment or just plain bad. It's staying in overdrive at low speed and causing the shuddering. Replace or adjust the brake light switch under dash at the brake pedal.

Check your ignition coli maybe it needs service

get some quality wire connectors and match color for color.

Test the coil pack for cyl #3 first. A bad coil will cause the computer to give that code. To reset the computer remove both battery cables and touch them together for a minute or two, then reinstall them and then go drive the car for more than 20 minutes in traffic, stop and go so the computer will relearn inputs from all the engine sensors.

You checked both large ignition 1 and ignition 2 fuses?

The ignition switch on the column down by the brake pedal is falling apart this is not the key switch remove any plastic shrouds covering the steering column and follow the steel rod sown the column to the switch that's it replace it and align it to work properly you can go to rockauto.com and look up your car then the switch to see what your looking for to replace post back with progress good luck stephen

Take some picture on your phone and show them along with the vin number they should be able to tell from that.

No it's not a alternator problem , Instrument cluster problem . Fixing PRNDL odometer LED not displaying on 2001 Buick Century

no dijo que motor tiene el carro, pueden ser varias cosas, necesita revisar:
El regulador de presion de gasolina, cuando lo prenda quite la manguerita de vacio y vea si sale un poco de gasolina, tambien puede tomar una manguerita conectela al regulador y suervale fuerte si le queda sabor a gasolina el regulador esta defectoso, remplacelo le ayudara ahorrar gasolina y trabajara mejor.
El sensor de la temperatura para la computadora le esta diciendo que el carro esta caliente y no le pone la suficiente gasolina por eso se apaga, no es muy caro remplacelo.
Algo que no me dice es si el carro trabaja bien despues de calentarse.
Revise esto, escriba para atras si necesita mas ayuda o tiene mas informacion.
Buena suerte
