The lower section of the seat is removable with two bolts below the seat. After this is removed, the back section of the seat can be removed with 2 or three bolts on the bottom and then sliding the entire seat upwards.

I believe so but most outlets will replace the diodes and sell it off as a refurbished unit - they usually clean it up and keep your old one as a trade in.

I will try and answer this. Most responses you will receive will have you looking for a drain in the system. Very well could be that. But you said when Jumper cables are removed it does not charge. I have not heard of this in your Year of car, but witnessed it myself in a 2004 F150. There is a circuit called a "battery saver". Its job is to disconnect a battery drain to preserve the battery. What can happen is the Alternator uses power to make and generate even more power. When a battery is not fully charged it needs a higher rate of charge and the Alternator may be viewed as a parasitic drain. The battery saver activates and disconnects the charging circuit. It can cut off at even 70MPH. I have seen F150's charge for about 5 minutes after removing a jumper and then cuts the battery charging circuit. You need to be sure the battery is 100% charged. You need the car checked for things like the Diodes and starter draw. If you take the Alternator or Starter for a bench check it will not show how the wiring is working in the car. It is best to check the whole car.

Could be a faulty torque converter.

take out the top 4 bolts above the altenator, between those metal tubes on the metal bracket. then u have 1 bolt holding the wires to the altenator on that bracket aswell remove that. then remove the coolant reserve bottle and stick a breaker bar or rend of a ratchet in the tenchenor pulley square slot pull it back twords the head lights the belt will loosten then remove it from the altenator. then u will see 2 more bolts on the bottom side of the altenator by the pulleys and belt. Remove them 2 bolts all the way and the altenator will drop out of the bottom of them metal tubes and slide through the sides of them and its out... its very ez and does not need the tubes removed its a lot ezer than it looks.. sorry about my spelling im an infantryman not a teacher.

disconnect negative battery cable.first turn off radio before moving battery cable so you wont lose radio code.if you got a automatic belt tensioner rotate it counterclockwise to remove drive belt from pulley.if you dont have automatic belt tensioner.loosen the alternator pivot bolt and remove the adjustment arm bolt from alternator then remove alternator belt.

what is in the car that has a monthly issue?..remove it or put a new computer in it..

THE THERMOSTAT FOR THE ENGINE IS AT THE END OF THE UPPER RADIATOR HOSE ON THE ENGINE . REMOVE HOUSING OBSERVE THE POSTION OF THE THERMOSTAT AND REPLACE EXACTLY AS YOU FOUND IT

most likely if it jumped time

change your fuel filter.. or you mite need new spark plugs

Electric unit or manual ? if the later then no problem ,electric unit bit trickier as on the renault they are lower than the rack

Check the Transmission Cable. It could be half torn Transmission cable. You may have to replace the cable then

Have the battery tested first and then check all the cable connections.

I have the same problem.(Door will not stay closed) The door latch itself seems worn to the point where the linkage from both the actuator or door handle causes the latch to get stuck. I can free it with a screw driver applied where linkage connects to the latch, but it will stick again. Dealer wants over 300 with actuator. I am looking in junk yard for part. Remove door panel, somehow disconnect linkage from latch. It makes more sense to remove 3 hex or star screws 1st (27mm) so latch will be more accessible. My problem is the door latch, not anything else. Good luck

Not much to your question, or what you need to knowYou have to figure out how to remove the inner door panelThen figure out how to remove the window regulator,if you findit brokenThen if the motor or regulator needs to be replaced-- after testingthe motor,you have to remove the motor, in some cases & puton the new regulator, or just install a new motor to old regulatorThis is if those two items are the problem,could be a bad switch

Could be a problem with the key switch or the wiring. Someone would need to find out if the computer is getting power when the key switch is on.

If you mean coolant flow, the thermostat or water pump would be the first two options.
