right next to the interior fuse box, lower left side of dash

Wiring, schematic, electrical diagrams, fuse diag, error codes etc are basic contents of these online books they have here on this website www.reliable-store.com I have attached. Must check it out

I think you could use this manual method instead.. My nephew use it to repair my car and it's totally perfectly fine now. Here's the website he bought it from. www.reliable-store.com

Could be battery or more likely it needs a new starter. The starter has nothing to do with care safety. Buy a new starter not rebuilt or junkyard started. Labor for new starter or maybe starter is the same. You might get lucky and rebuilt starter lasts but it doesn't the labor is paid again.

Was it a new rack & pinion? If so it will be under warranty

Turbo manifold, blow off valve, waste gate, intercooler, turbo timer, piggyback or standalone ECU, most likely an all new exhaust system, new intake, filter. An oil cooler may be needed, as those turbo chargers are most likely cooled and lubricated by the oil in the engine, needing to be piped through the turbo itself.

Is it aftermarket alarm? If it is factory try the following, close all doors and lock them. Use remote to unlock doors, put key in igniton and turn to on..do not start, just on. let it stay on for about 10 min or so. The security light should go out after that turn ignition off then on to start.

I had the same problem, where the radio dash lights also goes out. All you have to do is go to the fuse box located on the passenger side of the car under the hood. It is the first fuse in the front of the fuse box it should be blue.(10 fuse) You can temp. replace it with a higher fuse if u have to, it will work the same.

Fuse google it/utube for local

If this is a deisel then it's probably some sensor malfunction. It could be one of the sensors in the exhaust system or a simple electrical fault - I have been told it can happen if even just one brake-light bulb is broken

If switch is in steering wheel hub, you have to remove thehub to gain access to it. Then clean out the switch contacts making sure that there is some air between them for when you push to make contact.

check the alternator. may not be charging. car will run until battery dies and than it will die, since things like computer and other components are not getting power. also cam sensors may cause this, but usually the service engine soon light will light up, if sensor fails.

TWO mechanics and they can't identify the problem, just throw parts at it? This could be caused by many things. If the noise occurs all the time, i.e. even when idling, that's something in the engine. Try this: using a LARGE (say 12" long) screwdriver, place the tip on the engine, and the handle on your ear. The screwdriver acts like a stethoscope. You may be able to locate the noise location more precisely. If the noise is a light ticking, that could be a worn or maladjusted tappet. If its a heavy and loud knock, its something more serious. Loose front pulley bolts, AC compressor failure, loose alternator bolts all come to mind. Look for a local expert on your make of car, obviously NOT the dealer.
