2000 Plymouth Breeze - Page 3 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

u need a repair manual--parts store hasum--ur library sec629 -automotive -if it seems more then u can handle--get a specialist

The battery is located inside the left front wheel well behind a protective shield just foward of the tire.

It is telling you that the oxygen sensor has failed. Replace the sensor, it is located in the exhaust pipe between the engine and the catalytic converter. The part runs around 40 dollars. It is fairly easy to spot, if you do not recognize it, purchase the replacement and look for the same critter on the exhaust.
I recommend getting the OEM sensor to save grief during install.
Hope this helps.

Hello and welcome to FixYa!

If the battery light is on, I strongly suggest that you have the battery charged. It can be an indication of a weak battery or a faulty alternator. If the battery light still on after charging then the problem will surely be on the alternator itself. If that's the case the alternator should be replaced to resolve the problem.

If the battery won't hold charge even on a new alternator then the problem will be on the battery itself. It surely is in the end of it's service life and replacement will be necessary.

You may try to reset it to by removing the positive battery connector, letting it sit for at least 5mins. then reconnect it again. This will reset the system and can get the battery light off.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome to the site. They all are right. Anyone of those parts can cause overheating. The most common issue is the thermostat though, followed by the water pump. You could have a defective coolant sensor. If you have a bad head gasket, it will cause overheating. If you change the water pump, change the valve and the impeller also. Do this. Check your coolant level first and make sure it is level. You said fans are good. Make sure the radiator is good and is getting fluid inside it. Make sure there are no leaks. Check all coolant hoses. Like I said, the most common issue is a sticking thermostat or a bad one. Next, I would say the water pump.

CONGRATULATIONS! You have successfully joined the ranks of those that waste their hard-earned money by blindly guessing and throwing parts at a car while at the same time having no clue what is causing the problem.

Please read this article before continuing: What Else Could Be Wrong?

Your check engine light is trying to tell you that one of the many systems monitored by the computer is malfunctioning. If the light is on, that means that there is definately one or more fault codes recorded in the computer memory that will lead you to find out what is wrong with your car. You need to scan your engine computer and retrieve the fault codes. Then the fault codes need to be properly diagnosed before anyone can tell you what to fix.

You need to narrow down the issue. Start with spark meaning does it have any. Then move to fuel delivery and pressure. Without those it doesn't matter what you do it wont start. Fuel is easy to verify just pour a bit into the intake and crank the engine. If it starts you know you have a fuel delivery problem. If it doesn't have spark then you have a coil, ignition module, crank sensor, cam sensor, or knock sensor issue.

One thing you need to be very sure of is if the when replacing the timing belt that both timing marks (camshaft and crankshaft) are where they are suppose to be. Remember the crank turns twice for every one cam rotation. So is it 180 degrees out?

underneath the glove box next to the blower motor fan.

On newer cars I have seen them crank over but not fire if the battery is too low. If the battery gets to low and below 32 degrees it can freeze and ruin it but still have enough power to run lights, pump, etc. If the car will start with jumper cables, I would have a load test done on the battery right away. Most parts stores will do this for free.

possibly your alternator. if you have a multimeter set it to volts dc and, without the car running, set the probes on the battery. then start the car and repeat the process. the multimeter reading should jump if the alternators good. you will need to charge the battery beforehand it sounds like, do not jump it. if all else fails disconnect a jumper lead befor starting to ensure nothing electrical gets damaged.

the battery is located in front of your drivers tire behind the cover there

Please don't forget to rate! Thanks!

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
   
2. Remove wing-nuts attaching tail lamp to rear closure panel.
   
3. Remove lamp from opening in quarter panel.
   
4. Disconnect wire connector from back of tail lamp.
   
5. Remove tail lamp from vehicle.
   
6. To install, reverse removal procedure.

It's in the wheel well of the driver's side front tire, just behind the bumper. Turn the wheel all the way to the side, or remove it for easier access. There is a plastic panel shielding it, which is easily removed by turning the four or five plastic screws that hold it. Then you can pull the battery & install the new one.

Hi and welcome to FixYa!

If you have a leak then it must be traced to know where it's coming from. By then you can do the fixing. Yes you can do it by yourself, just find the cause.

Hope this helps and thank you for using Fixya!

First thing I would check is ATF fluid level.

the fuel filter is in the tank, but I dont know what your problem is.

the belt that goes to the cam and timing dont mess with that unless its one of those pulley's, there are no diagrams that can help u but u can buy a book.

Battery light means, alternator, not bad battery, when light is on, alternator is not charging, any auto parts will do a free elec. check.

yes, probably the solenoid on the starter, but first try a jump start and check the starter relay in the engine compartment relay box. Try swapping the relay with a similar one--maybe the horn relay. If neither of these ideas works for you, the starter is the likely problem. Take it off and have it tested at the parts store to be sure before bguying a new one. Please let me know if you have more questions or need instructions.
