The motor has a manual reset thermal overload protector switch. If the motor overheats for any reason, the overload protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed to cool down before resetting the overload switch and restarting. It is located on the motor housing on the side opposite where the pump and hose connections are. The reason this switch shuts off is because of low voltage problems caused by either a too low amp rating on the circuit it's plugged into or by using an extension cord. It is always safer and better for the motor to run longer air hoses than to use extension cords.

Gambles coronado 253 freezer clicks and shuts down

The click sounds as if the compressors shutting down due to thermal overlaod ar the starting assist device is getting tired, it may need a 3 in 1 start asssist installed on the compresssor, the limit may just be bad, capacitirs nay be bad causing high amp draws and temps etc.

Signal lights don't flash

Change the signal light flasher. I'm not sure exactly where it is but it is more than likely under the dash near the steering coluum or close to or in the fuse box. Good luck!

Dryer will not start

The temperature of the air being exhausted is monitored by the cycling thermostat and the thermal fuse mounted on the blower housing. The thermal fuse, which is wired in series with the motor circuit, fails when the cycling thermostat fails to regulate the exhaust air temperature. Failure of the thermal fuse results in the motor not running and the dryer not working at all.

Remove the dryer real panel to access the blower housing and check the continuity of the thermal fuse. Grab a volt-ohmmeter and set it to the R X 1 scale then disconnect one wire from the thermal fuse terminals then check the continuity of the thermal fuse. Replace the thermal fuse should it read open.

Indicate the exact model number of the dryer for specific troubleshooting and repair advice if you need further assistance and for the exact part numbers.

The refrigerator run loud for twenty minutes or so then it stops for ten minutes and starts running loud again

If the noise is coming from the back of the fridge, it could be the compressor is dying. Its cycling and over heating shutting off then trying to restart a short time after once the thermal overlaod resets. You hould call a service tech sooner than later.

No voltage to fuel injectors and fuel pump relay checked fuses in both fuse boxes

Check for a fusable link. A fuseable link is a wire that blows just like a fuse when overlaoded or tripped. Im not sure where thay are on your vehicle but they commonly are beside the fuse box under the hood or along the back of the fire wall. You have to cut the plastic housuing around them to expose them. I would either pick up a chilton repair book or call the parts dealer to find the exact location.
