You need a wiring diagram for that component. I would chech both the engine and cabin fuse locations and check all fuses. Then check the lighter with a test light

A crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is mounted on the front of transmission case adjacent to the flywheel. The CKP sensor is a hall-effect type sensor that generates voltage using a sensor and a target wheel mounted on the crankshaft. There are 58 slots and one longer slot on the target wheel. When the slot in the wheel aligns with the sensor, the sensor voltage output is low (approx. 0V). and it is high (approx.5V) when a slot is not aligned with the sensor. During one crankshaft rotation there are 58 rectangular signals and one longer signal. The ECM calculates the frequency to compute engine rpm to determine the injection duration and ignition timing. Using the signal differences caused by the longer slot, ECM identifies which cylinder is on top dead center

Hope helpes (remember rated this help).

A clunk noise could be a couple of things. Your starter may be starting to go bad. If the flywheel or starter has broken a tooth on the gear, it will clunk. A loose starter, check the bolts. Good luck

You have a failed transmission. You will need ti rebuilt.

Loosen pivot bolt and tensioner mounting bolt . Do not remove them. Relieve tension on the drivebelt by rotating adjustment bolt . Remove drive belt.Remove tensioner mounting bolt and belt tensioner. then the Alternator will barely slide out. (hope your motor mounts are good :P)

If it's an automatic gearbox vehicle, then check the operation of the gear selector switch within the selector mechanism. Most autobox vehicles will not start unless this switch sends a signal that the car is in either park or neutral.

First off have a load test done on the battery as there is a dead cell evident. Run fault codes and look for a problem TCM (transmission control module) which may be affected by the battery fault. Have a pressure test done on the transmission to check for internal problems. Check oil level when hot.

If it has the old style push button switches, one could be stuck or broken. If it uses sensors in the door latches, one of the sensors could have failed.
