My Anti Lock brake light has been coming on and off and today stayed on. My car skips each time I accelerate.
I had it repaired: one of my sensors needed to be replaced. No more light!

Whose the genius that decided to put the thermostat in the center of the engine! How is it supposed to be removed?
Well, as you said, Isuzu engineers are not the brightest. We are in the process of trying to figure out how the oil got full of water! If anyone has experience in the 3.2 V6 2000 model and where the likely failed spot for the cooling system is, I'm all ears.
To your problem, the thermostat housing is located under the intake manifold, yes under it. You will have to remove the intake and fuel injection system (lots of fun) to get at the hard pipe lines under and in the front of the engine. Once there removal and replacement of the thermostat is easy.

2000 Izuzu Rodeo V6 4x4. My key is stuck in the ignition, it will turn the car on, but it won't let me turn the key back far enough to release the key. I am scared that my car will get stolen, or that it kill my battery. Also I noticed that when I put the car in park, it "feels" different, like its not going into park all the way...I wonder if that has anything to do with it not releasing my key?? HELP ME!!!
Okay i had the same problem hope this finds you. Well alot of people say there is a wire under the dash it's black and stiff. This wire runs under the steering wheel to the gear box. If youe have an automatic. You have to turn the hard off put into park. On the shifter nob is the release button you have to push it in and let it go very fast so it snaps out. It worked for me the first time but now i have to play with it a bit. push it in and snap it back out. you have to have on hand on the key and the other on the release button do this till the key releases for the ignition. Hope this help might not be perment fix but it will release the key.

what is the easiest way to get to the thermostat housing in a 2002 isuzu axiom. I tried removing water pump however it looks like it is located under the mainfold in the middle of engine.
I just had a garage replace my thermostat on my 2002 Isuzu Axiom. The book calls for 2 hrs labor, no way. iI took the garage more like 5 hrs plus, they ate the additional 3 hrs of labor. Note, the intake manifold must be removed and even then special tools are needed because it is still buried deep down. The garage took pictures ot this one because of how ridiculours Isuzu designed the location.

After idling for a couple of minutes, drove off with light still on but all power back. 1 hour later of faultless driving loss of power for a minute or so. Engine temp normal. Had break for 1/2 hour and set off for last hour of journey without fault except check engine light still on. Following dayon startup light went out???

HI Eveyone! I have a 2000 Isuzu rodeo LSE that its speedometer and odometer is not working. also the fuel guage light is flashing whie the spindle is going from empty to full once in a while. Need help please. I recieved repair estimation for $921.00. I simply said no way! But pls. I need help.
Sounds like you have two sensors out: the speedometer sensor and the fuel gauge sensor. Good news:These are annoying problems, but of course they aren't damaging the vehicle.Bad news: They are costly sensors and no easy job for the shade tree mechanic. You might want to check and see if someone will do it cheaper and try providing your own parts~ mechanic supplied parts usually are more expensive than what you buy at Auto Zone. Bear in mind that the mechanic may refuse to guarantee the work unless you pay his price for parts~ so check on that in advance.

isuzu rodeo tail light relay same as illumination relay under hood?
My 97 Rodeo had the same problem. No Tail lights, no. Dash lights. There is also an annoying buzzer that goes with the set telling you the lights are on, there is no key in the ignition and your door is open. (you don't notice it when it's gone but you sure notice it when it's back)
The Fuse (taillight Illum) was good, The Light relay under the hood was good and all bulbs were good.
What fixed this problem was replacing the tail light relay which is located in a panel just to the left of the brake pedal also called the kick panel.Inside there are 3 relays. I replaced the one in the middle and got everything to work.
If you need to identify the relay you can put your hand over it and then turn the lights on and off. The correct relay should click. Mine was the middle one.
Hope this helps someone because it stumped me for months.

This has to do with the Auto's Computer system and should ONLY be done by a Factory Rep who knows what he/she are doing. not a home mechanic chore!!
