Hi kisha , The handle broke inside the door where you can't see it .Common problem on cars . You can get one new for $19.00 on eBay or probably some auto parts stores too. Would have to take the inside door panel off to get at it. You could go to YouTube an watch a video on how to do it !

They make a specal tool to remove the tenson of the "c" spring.May be able to find it at one of the parts stores.

relay must be stuck

If you have a 2.8L,3.1L or a 3.8L the firing order is 1-2-3-4-5-6. Where you have a coil pack or a distributor. I hope this helps.

either the switch or the fan, they are both at least 18 years old and 8 years beyond their expected life.
get a NEW fan, they are all pretty much the same, on eBay or a parts store. sits right above the passenger's feet in an upside down attitude. 3 or 4 screws lower it after disconnecting the wiring. gently stick a running vacuum hose up in the hole and swish it around a few times before putting the new one in. if that did not do it the switch is next. if it is the switch generally you will note some slow deterioration in its function over time. generally the fan as it is an electric motor.

fuel lines need cleaning

Check the ground wire going from the battery to the body ground...this will cause a number of weird failures

will need to remove transmission to do this. will require special tools and knowledge.

The blower motor is mounted in the engine compartment, behind the wiper linkage on this model...



Hope helps.

Usually if you are having problems with a spark and you have verified that there is no spark getting to the plug you have two possible problems. It is either a problem with the wires or the distributor/coil. The wires will usually not all go at the same time so it would not be a problem in all cylinders. If you are having problems across the cylinders it is most likely the coil/distributor. This is a fairly simple job on most cars. Usually you just need a ratchet and socket set. If you talk to a sales rep at your local auto parts store they can get you the parts you will need and should be able to print off step by step directions for replacing the parts. It is usually no more than a 2 hour job.

Coil went bad
