I recently tried the DIY service and repair manuals from a website and it actually helped me repair transmission problem in my jcb 3cx site-master. It would'nt move forward or reverse, engine was good both solenoids for forward and reverse worked, but still couldn't diagnose the problem.
I don't have much technical knowledge but I just followed it step-wise, and now it works perfect! covers wiring, codes, diagrams, torque specs, PCV, everything
got it from www.reliable-store.com

SOURCE: 1998 ford expedition blinking overdrive light

This blinking light indicates a problem. You will have to have it scanned for trouble codes to find out
what it is.

SOURCE: D4 blinking, spedometer not working, check engine light on

Hi, a few questions 1st. Did your mechanic check for engine codes? Is your Honda a v-6 or 4 cylinder?
The flashing D4 light indicates a possible transmission malfunction. You should avoid rapid acceleration until the cause of the light blinking is determined.
If you have the V-6, there is a diagnostic port to connect a scan tool to read any stored engine codes that have turned on the check engine light. This port is located behind the ashtray in the center console (most cars did not have this til 96).
If you have the 4 cyl engine, there is a service connector located under the dash on the pass. side. Inside the connector is what looks like a 2 wire plug should be attached. Take a paper clip, unbend it, and insert the 2 ends of the clip into the connector to 'jump' it. Turn the ignition switch to the on position (don't start the vehicle), and the check engine light will flash. Count the flashes, short flashes are for code #'s 1 to 9 (single digit code), a 2 digit code will be a long flash for the 1st digit, followed by a short flash for the 2nd digit. If there is more than one code, they will be separated by a pause. They will repeat so you can count them and write them down. Let me know what the code #'s are so I can help further. Curt

SOURCE: Front weel lights on the instrument panel blinks all time

Its NOT a problem at all, The vehicle WILL be in 2WD if the Lever is in the 2WD position, To sort this problem reverse in the vehicle in 2WD for about 10m. if the light do not go out, the Vaccum Solinoid is more that likley kaput. As the 2WD system works off Vacuum, the Solinoid can be found under the Fuse Box in the engine Compartment, It has a load of Rubber Pipes coming off it, with blue and yellow dots on. As i said, this is NOT a problem, i have an L400 and mine was flashing for about a year before i got a new Solinoid, Off E-bay.

2003 ford f150 supercrew lariat. Odometer is all dashes. All lights headlight tail lights park lights are all on even with switch off and keys out. Horn won't blow. Engine will turn over but not crank.

Engine will turn over but not crank.???? Engine cranks but won't start an run .
Odometer
The instrument cluster receives odometer rolling count status from the PCM and stores the mileage in non-volatile memory (NVM). When the instrument cluster fails to receive the odometer rolling count status for more than two seconds, the odometer display will show dashes.

Taking the vehicle an having it checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes would be a good idea ! Not to autozone or advance etc... Need a professional or factory scanner to check for these codes .

Engine Warning light is on - Held odometer and got a code 9A9E. \r\nFord Focus 06.

  • Hi I can help.
  • The code is saying something is wrong with the instrument cluster possibly the PCM because the PCM sends a vehicle speed signal to the cluster to "roll" the odometer. If the signal goes a few seconds without being received the instrument panel goes a little haywire.

  • So you need to pull the cluster forward and clean the connectors and check real good for corrosion etc. Plug the cluster back in and run a code test again.

  • If the same code pulls then replacing the instrument panel is recommended. If this does not fix the replacement of the PCM may be needed.

  • You can also go and have the car scanned with an actual Ford scan tool and this may be able to better pin point on weather the PCM or cluster is at fault. This scan would not be a free one at your local auto parts store. This would have to be done at a shop.

  • If you have any comments please feel free to leave them here.
  • Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa.

Ford focus engine managment system

I doubt its the instrument cluster. Next time it does it, turn the heaters on full hot. If the air is very hot, you could be looking at a thermostat problem. If the air is cold, then you are either losing water or your waterpump is on its way out. However waterpumps dont tend to be sporradic, so i would go for water leaking.
