Do you have any coolant leaks & are lowin the reservoir

This could be as simple as needing new batteries. I would start there. The next would be the programming of the module. That will require the manual for you individual vehicle. If those both check out it could be the send receive unit in your car that has gone bad or the remote itself went bad on that one function. You can do some of this yourself but ultimately the company that put it in should trouble shoot this for you without cost.

It can still be the brake light switch,bypass the switch,and see if the lights will come on.

It sounds very much like you have a head gasket blown, or a cracked cylinder. You say it isn't water, yet you have to keep topping up the radiator. So basically, it IS water.

identify the part from the diagram attached. God bless you

sounds like eather fuel pump or crank sensor

The computer sends a 5 volt reference signal to the sensor and depending on how open the throttle is, the return voltage is less.The code may be saying the return voltage is too low or nothing.You would check for the reference voltage with a meter and resistance in the sensor. You may also have to check the return wire at the computer to see if there is a break in the harness.

Everything runs thru the drivers side master switch,may be the switch but.. look inside the rubber boot between the door and the body(razor blade)The wires tend to break in there due to the drivers door being used morethan the rest.A wire connector or some fancy soldering work is the only fix without pulling the whole harness.

Well you will need the O2 sensor and the converter on the car for it to run. If you replace "any" parts in the electrical system, you will have to reset your computer too. It may be misfiring as it is reading the setting of the bad ICM (module) and giving you headaches. You can reset it by taking off "both" battery cables for 15 minutes and then rehooking them. After this run the car and let the computer read the new ICM.

is it neg. or the positive both cables are available from a parts store the positive is harder to install than the neg.

Always keep an eye on your engine temp gauge, find rad thermo switch and bridge connection (it's a switch anyway) this should bring on rad fan. Thermo switch usually on thermostat housing or radiator body housing !

look for a sensor in front of the raid it has 2 wires
