REMOVE COVER, CHANGE PULLEY

It is caused by either a bad multifunction (turn signal) switch or a bad combination flasher. With this particular vehicle, the flasher is an integral part of the multifunction switch. So, it can only be repaired by replacing the multifunction switch for either case.

Remove the dash pad. Remove the speaker screws and disconnect the speakers. You do not have to remove the entire dash, I can scan a pic in from the service mnual if you would like.

Have you done a tune up too the vehicle, thats a good place to start. A plug or coil could be having a hard time under load.

If you have the V6 (2.5L) engine, be advised: it's a wearing task. Just getting to the radiator drain plug can be a problem without a 3/8 inch drive ratchet, a 3 inch extension, a universal joint. and a 19 mm socket. The drain plug is on the passenger side of the radiator on the engine side. The 19mm socket will fit over the drain plug to turn it open.The coolant plumbing on this engine is the craziest I have ever seen. The thermostat is on the rear face of the engine (where the radiator hoses connect), but not on the upper hose where it connects to the upright pipe with the radiator cap on it, it is on the lower hose connection. Pull that hose off the housing, and remove the three bolts holding the thermostat housing to the engine. It will help if you first remove the big air inlet hose from the air filter housing to the throttle body. I wouldn't even bother with the thermostat till you have found the leak. Is any coolant leaking from the front of the engine, dripping off the bottom behind the crank pulley? That would be a water pump problem or SEAL, an o-ring on the back of the water pump. Now get on the driver's side and look around on the rear of engine nearest the firewall where engine and transaxle mate. Look down there for signs of coolant coming from rear of engine and running down onto the transaxle case. There is a metal pipe laying in the valley below the lower intake manifold, connecting the water pump at the front and the rear housing where the radiator hoses and heater hoses connect. This metal pipe uses an o-ring for a seal into the water pump, and the same size o-ring to connect to the rear housing. If one of those o-rings is leaking, you have a big problem getting to it.. I took the rear housing off once (never again!), Now I'm taking the water pump off to fix a leak. The water pump is run by the timing belt, so the front of engine needs to be stripped down, and the timing belt removed to take off the water pump. That metal pipe is held in place by a bracket with one bolt on the rear of engine; it may require taking the lower intake off (again) to get to both of those pesky o-rings. I hope you don't have the same problem, and if you have the 4 cylinder engine, the thermostat is a snap to replace, plus you don't have that crazy plumbing problem.

did they just replce the key part of switch or the entire unit if they just replaced ignition lock the electical portion could also be bad or there is also an alternater or alternater wireing issue i would have the starting and charging system checked before i went any further also do you have any sftermarket alarm equipment you can go to most parts stores and they will load test the starting and starting systems for free

The problem could be hydraulic or electrical or a mechanical problem with the lift arms. More information is required to solve your problem - like: Can you hear the pump motor running when you press the button? Does the top TRY to lift, but just won't go all the way? Does it try to come up on one side and not the other?

The battery voltage needs to be checked.Also if battery is very old and not replaced for very long, then just get the battery replaced.Approx battery life is 3 years.If its very old battery then try new battery. But if battery is new and still battery light is on,. then either battery terminals are dirty or not connected properly or the battery voltage is low.Get the battery re charged to proper voltage.The exact battery voltage of charged battery is 12 volts..Re check and confirm with voltmeter. This should help.Thanks.Helpmech.

Common problem with those cars. Likely you will have to get the Odometer replaced. Assuming your Speedometer is working?

Are you trying to replace one of the turn/hazard signal bulbs? If so, which one. The backside of the bulb will turn about a quarter turn and come out the back side of the housing then you can change the bulb out as usual.
