Either that, or check to make sure the ground wire to the heating element isn't corroded or broken.

Do not know - all you can do is go the a auto part place and have them check the codes for you for free. This will tell the story. Could be just a maintenance procedure or a problem. The code has to be cleared anyway. Good luck - Doug

I have solved the problem.
You will pay $14.99 to be told how I did it.

A junkyard would have the best price -- on a used one.

Could be injector problems. is the car down on power?

You will either have a broken wire in the door hinge area or either switch can be bad it depends on where the ground has been lost swap the rear door switch just to make sure other than that you realy need to know the schematic of the system to determine who is at fault

Starter has brushes in them, and as they begin to wear out, it would have that same problem you have. Infact this is true for any motor that have brushes. Right now it is okay. The problem may take a while before coming back again, but when it does, it would happen more often, then eventually the starter will not even operate anymore.

It sounds like you have a lose/bad connection. If you can remove your door panel and visually inspect your connections for lose or rusted connections other wise you will have to test each connection to find out where your power loss is at.

from inside the trunk if there are no screws on the exterior. might be covered by carpet or cardboard panel

This answer will not solve your problem because your oil leak could be coming from any of a number of places. If you can Identify where the leak is and describe that area to me, perhaps I could further assist, otherwise, I would suggest you get a mechanic to check it out. Sorry.

Most likely cause is a leak in the valve cover gasket. Under pressue, a good sized leak will spurt and burn off on the manifuld, causing the smell of burning oil you're getting. This also would cause the presence of oil throughout the engine compartment. Best of luck on your problem.

The car isnt that old, it may be something silly. A blowen fuse, an issue with the brake-light switch, or clutch switch (if applicable). If not you may need to send it in for repair.

There is no way for u to program your own key, either a locksmith (not all can do the programing) or the dealer has to do it with a special electronic scan tool.

There is a problem with the master lock switch in the driver door. Either the switch itself or a wire is loose in it.

Please drive to a garage and let an expert examine if there is an oil leakage from your oil swunp or the oil filter is not well fitted.

It could be that the gear box has shifted too.

good luck. Do this fast on time.

It looks like you have the "Smart Key" (a small rectangular box) that does not look like a traditional key.
What you also have is a dead battery inside the Smart Key.
Look closely at the box; there is a little button on the side. Press it. This will release a small hidden key. After you remove the small key, use a small flat blade screwdriver to pry the case of the box open at the slot provided. Take the unit to a store that sells miniature batteries, and have it replaced. You will NOT have to reprogram it after the battery is changed. The life span of the miniature batteries is roughly 20 months, less if exposed to RFI, like sitting on a TV, a monitor, or other electrical device. The Smart key TRANSMITS all of the time, even when you do not press the buttons. This is why the battery only lasts 18-20 months. Let me know if this fixes your issue..

Check the heater plugs normaly when the engine is cold heater plugs work to heat up combustion chamber then starts easy,also long raning fuel filter mybe so change the fuel filter.
