Try having someone tap on the drive motor and cable while you sit in the seat and keep a backward pressure on the seat. If this is successful than you've got to lubricate the cable housing with a spray oil.

Are you moving the child safety lock or the door lock? Only the door lock itself should prevent the door from being opened from both inside or out. The child lock is typically a switch on the door near the door pin halfway down the door.

Just remove the rear rotors, bull the straight off, after removing the caliper bracket. It would be a good idea to spray the small brake shoes with brake cleaner. No need to remove anything other than the rotor.

This has to be read out to see what code you have. Your computer has found an error. But, check your anti freeze and oil levels to be safe.

This is easy. Send back to the mech and tell them what happened. Most good mechs will review their work to make sure they did not cause your NEW problem.

The mech may have accidentally not reconnected or btore an electrical line.

This is the starting point. If this does not work out, repost.

you should take it to a alarm specialist cause there in lies the problem the kill switch is a thing that kills gas from going to the engine the best thing u could do is have the alarm removed

nead ecu readout from a diagnostic scanner for the check engine

look carfully and you see a rod just pull that up and it will open

ac expansion valve you mean?

check the spacer's

I would have the compressor checked. run a dye test. The make sure the cooling fan is working cooling down the condensor.


Good Luck

get a hayes repair manul from the auto parts store that will tell you every thing youneed to know

each side of thrid light are fasteners. remove them cover slides off replace bulb

No, any manual has a price on it. If you want to spend at least $16.00 to $17.00 for a haynes repair manual for that car, it covers just about everything from bumber to bumper. You can it at any auto parts store.

It is attached to the back wall of evaporator. You have to remove the glove compartment, blower unit and evaporator to get access to the expansion valve.

some do have the parking brake inside the rotor drum , make sure the parking brake is fully released, the grab the cable in back of the brake rotor and move it back and forth, then use a 4 lb sledge hammer to hit the face of the drum in a criss cross pattern being careful to not hit it too hard or hit the wheel studs damaging the lug nut studs threads, after this rotate the rotor at the same time as you pull it towards you

I believe it is on the water pump which is in the front of the 3.0 engine at the end of the bottom radiator hose.

That's a good one what is the point in an ac if it can't keep you cool. Have you checked to see if the refrigerant needs charging or if there is a leak in the system. If the ac works kinda sorta or only if it's not hot out, check the low side refrigerant pressure and if it has never had a recharge and it's a 1995 you figure that's 14 years. There is a good chance it's low on refrig. Good luck and believe me, I feel it here in Calif this year already. It's BAKING Hot.

It could be right on the edge of having enough pressure to satisfy the low sensor to run. This will continue till a evac and refill of the correct amount of refrig.to the system. The outside temps affect these pressures. Mark

Right under the spout on the engine at the end of the top rad hose.
Two bolts to remove, but can be fragile bolts.
