Were is the horn located on my 2017 citroen dispatch
The most likely location for it is up under the front, left wing between the front wheel and the bumper. You might need to take the wheel arch liner out to get to it. If it's not there check the wheel arch on the other side. Another common location is behind the front bumper mounted on the bodywork crossbar between the radiator and the front grille.
2007 Buick Lacrosse. Where is the engine coolant temp sensor located on it please?
which engine, post VIN and we tell you.or tell dealer parts page you vin and like magic it tells you what engine is there,most times this sensor is next to the thermostat housingbut not all times.( like reverse flow rad/engine)wiki same name see 2.4 L LE5 I4 (China) 3.0 L LZD V6 (China) 3.6 L LY7 V6 3.8 L L26 V6 5.3 L LS4 V8 hark
2017 Jeep Patriot. Where is the fuse for my passenger side blinker please.
here it is, BCM the causes are :lamps shorted. right side of car if is USA car.blinker switch lever is bad.scan the PCM see if lamp fails or lever fails.or BCM bad.not scanning it is missing THE BOAT big time. OBD2 scanner.any shop in the USA can scan your car even for free some do.ask em. no fuseno relayno blinker flasher modulethe below computer does all that like magic. BCM body brain. TIPMnote the blinkers have regulator or each side.
this post assumes nothing else on the car is failing (all electrics things)
Why is there no power to brake lite switch
what car, year,maker ,model
power to switches are fuse blown.
on old cars.
then 2007 to 2010
there is no fuse the BCM body brain runs brake lamps direct
and a small voltage digital signal from the switch
totally differ ways on new cars
is this a trail lamp issue?
tell car and I will show you the brake schematic from the online
FSM book.
2007 Buick Lucerne no crank no start key won't release won't come out of the park won't read that is in park
Here are some possibilities you can test yourself. But if none of them resolve your issue, you may need to consult a professional mechanic. Jeff Armer seems to have supplied even more detail. Just how comfortable you are will such procedures may determine just when you choose to go to a professional mechanic.
No Crank or Start: This could be due to a weak battery, corrosion on battery terminals, poor starter electrical connection, bad ground connection, or a faulty starter motor. You might want to check the wires to the starter. If the car starts and runs when you jump the starter from underneath, it could indicate an issue with the starter circuit.
Key Won't Release: First, ensure your vehicle is in Park and that the steering wheel is not locked. If the key still doesn't turn, try using a spare key, as the original might be worn-out or bent. If the problem persists, you might need to consult a mechanic or replace the ignition switch.
Another method to try is to turn the key to the start position, let it fall back to the run position and leave it sit for ten minutes. Cycle the key off and wait five seconds and it should start. The battery has to be fully charged for this to work.
Won't Come Out of Park or Won't Read That It's in Park: This could be related to the vehicle's security system. Running a diagnostic check for codes with a scan tool of both the Powertrain control module/ecu and the Body control module could help identify if any codes are stored. The vehicle should crank over in park or neutral.
2007 gt g6 all instruments on panel is flashing
A mechanic's scan tool would lbe necessary to check all the modules. The problelm could be either in the wiring or the control modules. There is also the chance the dimmer switch could be turned off or defective. Or, the electrical part of the ignition switch could be problematic. Because of the possibilities, use of the scan tool would seem the route to go.
Do the engine have to be warm to check for coolant leak with a radiator pressure tester?
To check for a coolant leak with a radiator pressure tester, the engine does not have to be warm. In fact, it's safer to perform the test when the engine is cool to avoid the risk of burns.
Here are the general steps to perform a coolant pressure test:
Make sure the engine and the system is cool since hot coolant can burn, and that the cooling system has no pressure.
If the coolant level is low, add water or coolant to raise it.
Remove the radiator cap once the system is cool and depressurized.
Connect the pressure tester to the coolant reservoir or the radiator.
Pump the pressure tester to apply pressure to the cooling system without going over the system's psi number on the radiator cap, which the pressure tester's gauge measures.
If the pressure gauge drops quickly, there is a leak. The slower the gauge drops, the smaller the leak.
As for your Buick, it's possible that the intake manifold gasket is leaking coolant. This is a common problem in many GM vehicles, including Buicks34. The coolant can leak externally, or in some cases, it may leak internally, causing coolant to mix with the engine oil. Operating the engine with a coolant/oil mix can result in internal engine damage. If you suspect this is the case, it's recommended to get it checked and repaired by a professional mechanic.
