Try hitting the bottom of the gas tank in the middle. If it starts then replace the fuel pump. Unfortunetly after the pumps have a few years on them and they run dry they tend to die.

Is the knock a thudding noise similar to someone pounding on a metal door or is it more of a rattling or chattering noise? If it is the thudding noise there is likely lower end engine damage. If is the chattering or rattling noise it may just be lack of oil to the upper end or head/s of the engine. How far have you driven it like this? If not very far it may have minimal damage that can be repaired by just installing a new oil pump, but if driven over a few miles like this it could be excessive and need new parts+repairs. The oil pump may not be easily changed but extra repairs are definitely going to cost more.

most vehicles have abs sensor on hub bearings. well its like anything else, they want you to take it to a dealership so you can get ripped off good ! depending on car model, the wheel bearing could be from 40.00-400.00. but with labor at dealership it could cost up to 500.00. so if you know of a friend or mechanicly inclined person it is much cheaper to go this route. if you went out and bought the bearing yourself and had it replaced you would save a lot. the dealers and a lot of garages are a big ripoff!! call auto-zone to get a price. it differs by model of vehicle. if need be, you can go to any auto parts store and buy a haynes manual for your vehicle for under 25.00, this book will show how to change wheel bearing. they are based on a complete teardown of vehicle. it also will give you the torque settings, it covers many things on the vehicle,its a very good book to have. in case something goes wrong with the car. good-day !

I replaced the front right turn signal on my 2005 Pontiac Montana by reaching up from underneath. I tried removing the battery but the opening from above was too small. I was able to pull the ground effects open enough to get my arm in. When you reach the bulb holder feel for two wings on the bulb socket and give the whole socket a quarter turn to and it will release. The wires are long enough so the entire bulb holder will drop down below the vehicle so you can easily replace the bulb.
Reverse the step to put it back in. You will not be able to see what you are doing so I had someone guide me by watching from above. Took less than 10 minutes once I decided to change the bulb from the bottom. I did not need to jack the vehicle up or use ramps.

Check the seap hole at the bottom of the water pump for a leak. If that's where the leak is coming from the water pump will need to be replaced. Otherwise check all hoses and fittings for a leak.

well this is a sensor problem. just cause you didnt get a fault code dome mean that the sensors are ok. Remove the abs Fuse from the fuse box under the hood. Drive the car and get a feel for the braking. Replace the fuse and drive again, you will notice one or more of the wheels dont hold as it fast or faster than the rest. Replace that sensor.

Open the hood. If you cannot gain access, the grill of the vehical will have to be removed. This will give you access to the bulb.

Since there is a hundred things that make the light come come on, you need to have it scanned at Autozone or Advanced. It doesn't cost anything and they can tell you why the light is on. It may be a simple fix or it may need serious work. By doing so, you will atleast know why.

you have a sensor per wheel, you need a scaner to read each wheel speed.one not working.
