check to see if you have any brake pads left inside the drum, this can have happened because someone drove with the parking brake on, if everything is ok, then go ahead and adjust the wire to the parking brake, you should start feeling it about 3 click. and in full half way down or so

This would mean your pump has not pressurized the system. An Inertia sensor could have tripped or a Fuel pump relay failed.

It's the park assist module, located in the rear deck, not from the truck, remove seats, carpet deck and it's on the left side of center. its a small black box with one screw

There are Chilton books on every car I think ever made. I would check there, or ask your garage or dealership. Schematics don't usually come with the owner's manual.

Have you checked the inertia switch to make sure it was not tripped?

On the distributor there is a tfi module. It might be going. I think there is a five wire connector.

the control unit is no good.i had a similar situation with a 98 tracker,and installed a switch to give it a ground for the compressor relay that comes from the a/c computer module.
it works good and goes on and off with the a/c switch.

check the fuse at back of radio

Did the wipers stop in the up position? If so it may be a blown fuse or a defective wiper motor. Have you looked at the fuse-box? Did you mean that the wipers swipe the windshield correctly and then when the wipers shut off they stop in the wrong position. If this applies then inspect the wiper transmission. There could be worn/loose linkage between the wiper motor and the wiper arms. Also if the wiper motor was just installed. The clock position may be wrong. Please let me know if this information helps. If not please write back, leave more details, and I'll do my best, good luck.

That must have been one FUN day to r & r actuator with dash in place. There is no relay that I know of and there is a fuse itself for ac/heat control and blower motor. If everything is being diverted correctly to defrost windshield, floor, split levels etc then the blend door is opening the appropriate vents and has done its job. Now since your not getting any cold air you need to open your hood, start your vehicle turn it on max cool and on high to check to see if your compressor is engaging and/or cycling on and off repeatedly indicating the refridgerant is excessively low or depleted and would need to be charged and then inspected for any leaks in system (I'd recommend adding a can of stop leak/dye to help distinguish location of leaks as well as to seal off any small leaks around seals). If compressor is not engaging try checking connection at back of motor to ensure you have a good connection as well as to visually inspect for any damage in connection and wiring, if that is ok test for voltage on wiring to ensure circuit is transfering power to motor, if not check fuse and or trace wiring for defect. If you have power going to motor but its not engaging it may be locked up and need to be replaced. hope this gets you squared away, if you have any further questions let me know and good luck to you

Its not a wire. The anti-theft system is part of the engine computer. If locking and unlocking the driver's door does not help, you'll need to get the system checked out. It could be the chip in the key, or several other components.

What year is the car and is the check engine light on ?

Most likely your shift cable (from the selector to the transmission) is worn, maybe needs lubrication. Mine had a similiar problem, but had to shift it into neutral and back up to get it in reverse. A new shift cable solved the problem.

A loud knocking noise like you've described if it's in the lower end of the engine, is usually a Crankshaft Rod Bearing. If the knocking noise is in the top end of the engine, it is usually a lifter or a rocker arm. Either one doesn't sound good and can be expensive. You can continue driving until it stops completely or you can do as the autozone suggested and use an oil thickner such as STP although none of them work very long or quiet them down for long.

gut somethin stuck in the linkage-its under the car at the trans--if u chec it make sure u use jackstands cause a jack wil move and fall----a ride over a bummpy rode may shake it loose
