low fuel pressure presents as misfires and lack of power not increasing rpms indicates accelerator position sensor or throttle motor sensor

Oil pressure sensors won't keep the car from starting. Have the complete car codes read. Security light on?

Recommend you go to a library or a car parts store, because trying to write this all out for you will take many pages of fixya. At the library or store, check out or buy or read one of the do-it-yourself repair manuals about this. They will tell you what to do. Some names you may find are: "Motor's", Chilton's" or "Haynes". Thanx for asking, God bless your efforts.

Low on freon

It should put a slight load on the engine it is compressing and circulating gas and liquid. If the load is more than normal you may have clogged or over charged system. If your a.c. temp is good when running and your losing a little power then that's normal.
However idle should be automatically adjusted by the the vehicles PCM to accommodate for AC load if it's not then there is a bad sensor that's not telling it that the AC is running or it's sending the signal to adjust idle and the part that does it is bad.

this is one kind if you have the other bumper let me know I will post video. The driver side is similar

Where is the fuse for the horn on a PT Cruiser

What's an SVG? Scalable Vector Graphics, SVG for short, is an XML-based format for 2D images, allowing them to be viewed both static and interactive. This makes us able to provide you with a fully interactive image full of links to related diagrams and documents straight from the OEM. Click on any link within the document and you will be able to narrow your focus on a particular component, or view a related portion of a wiring diagram.

DESCRIPTION

All of the electrical current distributed throughout this vehicle is directed through the standard equipment Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). The molded plastic TIPM housing is located in the left front corner of the engine compartment, just behind the air cleaner housing and the battery. The TIPM housing has a molded plastic cover. The TIPM cover is easily removed for service access and has a convenient fuse and relay layout label affixed to the inside surface of the cover to ensure proper component identification.

The TIPM housing is secured to the left inner fender well an indexing pin and one *****. All of the TIPM outputs are through the integral engine compartment wire harness.

for the most part its in the fan itself try this website its www.alladtadiy.com and i hope this help you Michigan Man.

There isn't any . The totally integrated power module controls the fuel pump . Do you know about automotive electronics ? Suggest you take your vehicle to a ASE certified repair shop that has the tools to diagnose this properly .

#1 Check your ground or corrosion at battery terminals if OK try adding an additional ground strap or cable to body of vehicle make sure you clean surface that means remove paint where cable is grounded.

#2 If you have an aftermarket radio or sound system or anything aftermarket that is not original check that also.

Very important if terminals are not corroded splice both batt cables about 1" back and inspect under insulator for corrosion if there is any replace batt cables

No BUS can be caused by a bad module, wiring, connections etc. causing an intermittent issue as you have. One bad sensor can drag down the 5 volt reference and cause no starts and BUS codes . Has it been scanned for a BUS code ?

There is a diagram in the owners manual.

possible plugged catalytic converter ! Have exhaust back pressure tested ! Have fuel pressure test done as well an have DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes check !

Just because a battery shows 12+ volts doesn't mean it is fine. It has to have the amperage with it. Check the acid level. If low, I recommend battery acid. But you can use distilled water.

In the main fuse box

This is a legitimate problem with light bulbs on Chrysler products.. The best resolution is to purchase a used module from a salvage yard to replace yours which is very much cheaper to do

What are you indicating with the statement "short out"???
