The main fuse block is located in the underside of the instrument panel, in or behind the glove compartment. Remove the access cover in the glove compartment to access the fuse block. Spare fuses and a fuse puller should always be kept here. Various convenience connectors, which snap-lock into the fuse block, add to the serviceability of this unit.

You will find the fuse for the sunroof in thsi area.

Get a can of WD40 with a spray tube, stick the tube into the lock and spray the s..t out of it. Make sure your WD40 is nicely warm.

Broken exterior handles

I would replace the crankshaft ignition pickup (Crank position sensor)

Air filter?

I think you can remove broken handle from outside car. If so open door when the rods are exposed.

My thought, replacing the headlight switch may fix your problem? Then, I looked up the cost, tax and all 3 or 4 hundred bucks, whew, that is pricey. Maybe you can find one in a salvage yard that will work? With an interior dimmer, did you try turning it all the way down? Also, there shows to be a panel fuse 5amp in your fuse box, pull the fuse, see if light goes out? At the least it won't run the battery down, then plug the fuse back in when needed. I did think about using an on/off switch mounted somewhere convenient to control that lamp, that isn't the proper fix.

That is controlled by what is called the "Delayed Exit Module" It should turn off the lights when any door is opened, if not then you may have a defective door ajar switch, if opening any of the 4 doors doesn't turn off the system then the module is likely defective.

System voltage too low.

Engine control module controls the coil packs . Could be either one or both.

Check the wire that connects from the antenna to back of your stereo.

Very likely your fuel filter. Sometimes trash will get in the filter. The trash (debris) will settle to the bottom when nothing is being sucked through the filter (the car is not running) so there is no obstruction in the line. When the car runs the gas gets sucked through and at some point pulls that debris into a position where it blocks the flow, thus no gas get through and the car dies. Try changing your fuel filter.

First it is a junkyard or dealer item. I know what you need but don't know the name. Vacuum junction box is what I call it. There are many shapes and sizes. I call a dealer, tell them what I am looking for. They fax a picture and I pick out there number.

No. According to this site; http://www.brandtlocksmiths.com/doc/DOcGM.htm Hope this helps.

pull out the inner pad and if there are two holes or slots in the piston the you have to screw the piston back in as it is attached to the hand brake adjustment a large flat bladed screw driver may do the job

Hi Chris....When you release the brake pedal, there is a switch underneath the brake pedal that disconnects the circuit to your brake lights causing your brake lights to switch off. Sometimes this brake light switch will go bad and need replacement. For the most part, replacing the brake light switch is very simple. Simply replace the brake light switch with a new one. If your brake light stays on after you turn your car off and you don't want to run your battery down, you may be able to get down underneath the brake pedal and manually pull up on the brake light switch to deactivate it until you can get it repaired. This method will only work if the brake light switch is just sticking.

I hope this helps FixYa!
