check for low fluid and loose belt

If you are referring to the taillights, they run through the headlight switch, and there is a fuse for them under the dashboard, most usually on the kick panel area to the left of the steering wheel. If you refer to the brake lights, they run through a switch usually hung from the metal braces above the brake pedal, and actuated by the movement of the brake pedal. There is also a fuse for them on the same fuse box under the dash. God bless our efforts.

you might have a stopped up catalytic converter. Is the check engine light on? and when you reach 20 is the engine missing or running rough?

So is there a question?

It's unlikely to damage the injector pump but the pump will eventually burn itself out. The pump SHOULD turn off when it attains full pressure. If it does not do so, check for proper pressure at the fuel pressure regulator. If pressure is OK at the output but high at the input, replace the pump. If pressure is high on both sides, replace the fuel pressure regulator.

Dead Battery? Security Issue?

I had the same problem and could not understand why I THOUGHT I checked all the fuses, but there is a fuse on the drivers side which is covered by a black thing (no idea why). It is listed as IOD or something. If you lift the black thing up and remove the fuse you will notice it is blown. Replace this and all will be well again.

Sounds like a bad crank sensor.

If it makes a single click every time you try to start it than the starter is probable bad. Sometimes if you keep trying to start the vehicle the clicking will be enough for the contacts in the solenoid to finally make good contact and allow the starter to finally start the vehicle. If this is the case than replace the starter ASAP. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

If it no longer can hold an idle , I would look for a vacuum leak that started small and has gotten larger

Normally city driver you dont need to leave it in overdrive only foy highway

My neighbor has a 99 Ram and his abs light wouldn't go off. As a brake mechanic myself. I replaced brakes all around , in which it needed, light still on so there is some kind of sensor on top of the rear end. Replaced that and still on. The only thing that is left is the block at the master cylinder, that runs about $300.00, so my neighbor don't want to spend that much. but that is about the only thing left.

If it doesn't crank, can you verify battery voltage?

do not drive it or head gasket will fail and will cost you more money to fix i think your water pump broke.

Sounds like you might have a sticky hydraulic valve?it happened to me what I did on my ford truck is I took off the plug and put a couple of squirts of oil from oil can in cylinder smokes like crazy but goes away after and seemed to loosen cylinder hoping that works for ya good luck or you may have clogged injectors or fowled
