go to this web sight and down load the diagram book and look up you make and model.

The fitting is usually on the compressor or on one of the metal lines going to the condenser.

which ball joint there are many

under dash.if emergancy works. and one side blink, its ok.post symptoms for best play.

what engine, state engine size and country.there can only be 3 ways, to fail.bad engine (low compresssion, us the $20 tool at WOT and see over 170psi.Bad sparkbad fueling.just because spark coils (COPS?) work on other car , dont mean much.what counts is your car , its a system.the cops, have fast 5mS pulse when firing, you using a scope to see that? Im so curious, why not to the time old test, use a real spark plugattached to the COP end, spark plug shell grounded to engine metaland crank, is spark good x4? or x6 if V6 (engine NOT STATED)is it? then spark is good, leaving fueling.do not touch the spark plug cranking, it can hit 100,000 volts.I use a ground strap on the spark plug casing, hands free, or you can be hurt bad, by the spark or when you jump and cut arm backing offon cars that flood, is it flooding?I found my engine compression good, then found all 4 sparks fire good.so i pull the fuel pump relay. killing fueling.i then use "test fuel" to start engine (again, text book tests)I use the new CRC brand of test fuel with top end oiling. i spray it in the plenum, and it starts.if the spark plugs are bad, (part oftune it up) it may not start if flooded,use WOT at the throttle (cuts fuel) and start any flooded engine.if the spark tips are black and stink of raw fuel (wet with fuel)that means flooding.pull the fuel pump relay ,test fuel runs for 3 seconds. each time.3 second spray max. each time.if that works out, then find reason for flooding if flooding.if not flooding, you find dry sparks.then trouble shoot no fuel.fuel pressure not near 30 PS?fuel pressure too high say, 60, it will flood for ever.there are only 3 tests.and 4 counting wet /dry sparks.the tests done, will put you on the correct path every time.no guessing, no swapping parts to other cars.

here is a page showing you how.remove COPSblow out wells to stop stand from falling inside engine.remove spark plug.gap new spark plug.put back spark plugput on new boots.put back oil cops and see of new boots (cheap)fix cops if they are bad.http://www.fixkick.com/IGN_timing/tune-ups.html#COP_boots

fuse, called dome fuse is blown, or radio fuse.fuses that look bad, are, fuses that look good, may be...........check fuses with an ohmmeter, fuses that look good can have very tiny cracks and are not good, only an ohmmeter works, on fuses with 100% accuracy. (a volt meter works in circuit even better !!!)Did you test the dome lamp to see if it really works?pull it , put across 12v battery ,does it glow?did you look at the radio. and see if it has its own inline fuse?did you hot wire the radio power wire to see if the radio even works at all? if you have DMM with voltmeter this is so very easy to trace.ask.

spark plugs old? do a tuneup.its running too rich. if sparks are ok.

The following are the general instructions on the start of diagnosing any electronically controlled engine or transmission problem.

The engine and the automatic transmission (transmission control is only for automatics, engine is still computer controlled no matter the transmission type) in this vehicle are computer controlled and in most cases when a fault occurs a fault code is stored in the memory of the computer control module. There are exception to this, such as the Mass Airflow Meter and fuel pressure problems. What must be done is to have all the basic testing done such as a scan of the system for fault codes as well as a check with a live data scanner tool for engine functions that are not within range of normal, a trained technician is required to know what is correct and what isn't, then based on careful diagnostics done from a factory repair manual the correct part is replaced or the wiring repaired or the computer replaced (known as the PCM), which is very rarely the problem. Other basic checks must be done as well such as mechanical problems with the engine as well as engine state of tune and mileage on the engine. The transmission can have mechanical issues as well such as no gear engagement at all or a failed pump or other pressure related problems. Also engine mechanical problems can and do cause many drive-ability related problem such as rough idle and other symptoms.

it is either a bad switch or window motor. finding a wiring diagram and shooting power to the correct wire will identify whether the switch or motor is faulty.
