turn the heat on high while it idles wait for the thermostat to open and make sure that the coolant is flowing if it is then you should be ok. ( do this as you have already with the cap off) once you see that the coolant is flowing and that that you have heat put the cap back on this should solve your problem.

Your check engine light is telling you there is a problem, and you need to have a scan tool to get the diagnostic codes out of the ECM to find and diagnose the problem. Some places will scan the vehicle for free and then give you the DTC codes to help you with your problem. Then repost with the codes and we can help.

It's the same fuse that runs your tail lights. If the plate light isn't working, you probably have a broken wire near the back, or a faulty bulb. Get a wire circuit tester and locate the wire. Check for power at the bulb socket, and if no power, keep making your way back on the wire until you find power, or a broken wire.

Have you checked anything?

sounds like the thermostat on this 1 aswell. its located underneath the car next to the oil filter.

The fuse panel is located on TOP of the center of the dash, just above the AC controls. The D shaped cover lifts off.Under the front lip of the large D shaped cover, right in the center is a button, push the button while lifting up and pulling rearward.
All of your fuses and relays are located underneath, as well as your OBD connector.Check in the fuse box,if any fuse is got blown or shorted out.------------The door latch is not getting detected by car.Its not detecting the door closed.Clean the door latches.The door latch grounds itself to chassis ground when closed. your problem involves a little corrosion in and around the latch. The simple fix is to spray a good amount of WD-40 on all door latches. Then let the wd-40 spray remain there for 1 hour then re-try ,turning the car off and closing the door and see the lights will get off.------------ But if that is not helping and problem is same then other possibility can be faulty ignition switch.You turn the key in ignition switch and turn the car off,and think car is turned off,but actually the car is not turned off,because there is short in the ignition switch ,this is causing the lights to go on/off,even though the car is off.------------------- Check out,this will help.Thanks.Helpmech.

The door afar sensors are located in the door latches. Try spraying all the door latches with wd40 penetrating oil and see if that helps.

The driver and passenger side mirrors have a small rubber plug in the bottom center of the mirror housing. Remove the plug and there is a phillips head screw holding the mirror assembly. Tighten this screw about 1/8 turn and it will keep the mirror from moving around. If you remove the screw you can remove the mirror and drive motors. Use a bit of thread-lock to keep the screw from loosing again. Reinstall the rubber plug.
