Step 1:

This cooling fan circuit has 2 cooling fans and 2 cooling fan relays, both cooling fan relays are located in the BJB (battery junction box, underhood fuse box) there is a low speed or main cooling fan relay in cavity location # K-46 and the high speed relay is location # K-47! Also check the main cooling fan power fuse # 2 in the same BJB, The fuse is a MAXI-FUSE (large one) it is blue in color and is rated at 60amps!

Step 2:

Also check the coolent tempature sensor thats what signals the fan to turn on.

Step 3:

Do the fans turn on when you turn the a/c on. if not may have bad fan motor

Should be near the front crank pulley depending on which engine.

Hi. Chances are, the lock for the steering wheel is sticking, or broken. Try putting the steering wheel close to straight, then spray some PB Blaster in through the keyhole. Make sure to cover the area underneath with plastic or cloth. Then, lightly tap the head of the key with a hammer. After a few taps, move the steering wheel left to right to try and engage the lock. If this does not help, then I suggest taking it to a shop, as the air bag will have to be removed to remove the steering wheel to fix the problem. Hope this helps....

Go to a couple local repair shops & ask them if they have AllData,Mitchell or Identifix --data base & print only what you need

there are bolts on the came gear pull them off then put them in finger tight and pull the cam out but first you have to take of the mains and the bearings

One of your wheels has the bearing or the caliper going out. On my truck it is the bearing. You can tell if it is the bearing by listening for a grinding when you brake. Turning right it is your left side. Turning left it is your right side.

Really !!!!Throttle -what does that tell you ?All throttle bodies are on the intake manifold

You have a vent valve solenoid that is either bador was disconnected when fuel pump went inYou should have a check light on & a code for it,why was that not mentioned

If you have power thru the brake light switch, the next component to test is the turn signal switch. If the regular brake lights and turn signals are on the same circuit they both go thru the turn signal switch.

You will need wiring diagrams as there is no common cause of this issue that I am aware of.

assuming fuses are ok and the new bulbs are the correct fitment(there are many different types) check the new pedal switch again.some are adjustable for length. check when you push pedal down that the switch is NOT still in contact with the pedal. if it is then you may need to adjust it to make it shorter, sometimes just pulling the pedal upwards can be enough to do this.good luck

BRAKE LIGHT FUSE BLOWED OR YOU HAVE LOOSE BRAKE SWITCH IN BRACKET OR BRAKE SWITCH IS BROKEN.

The ground is typically provided in the same wiring loom as the positive lead.
