Hi Rad,
Sounds like the immobilizer has lost coding. We have experienced the same thing when the owner of this type of vehicle held a mobile phone which rang as he was putting the key from the ignition. Apparently the cell phone signal canceled the signal from the key. Seems you'll need to have the key recoded. (This part is whispered so only you can hear....When the guys quote the price, haggle with them until they bring it within reason....shhhhh. :-))

Changing the light bulb on your vehicle should be through the engine compartment. There is a plastic ring which holds the bulb in. Carefully remove the wiring harness at the light bulb, turn the ring about a quarter of a turn or so and slide the bulb assembly out. Replacement is the reverse of installation, but be careful NOT to touch the glass on the light bulb, as it will ruin it. The oils from your hands will actually cause the bulb to swell in the place where you touched it and it can bubble and then burst when it gets hot. If you happen to touch it though, clean it with a clean cloth and denatured alcohol.

I hope this helps! :)

CHECK THE FUSES IN THE FUSE BOX FIRST.

if it shows an invalid date bring it back to them tell them they have the wrong date on it so they can correct it

crankshaft timing mark is on the harmonic balancer behind pulleys cam timing marks are on gear inside timing cover

I had the exact same problem on my 96 swift. My mechanic found a shortage in the electrical cable going in behind the engine by the firewall. Those cables are to close to the engine and after a while they melt.

not too difficult, get a manual, there are some tricks involved, you will need to raise the vehicle a few feet off the ground and access to a tranny jack, a good had floor to work on and about 8 to ten hours

disconnect the battery for a minute, if it comes back on then it needs repairs

you can go to any auto parts store they should carry those

could be the light contol switch on the blinker column,check that,see if you have power going to the bulbs when on.






TIM>>>>>>>>>>>

you have a bad flasher which is about the size of a "c" battery located under the dash on the driver side, no tools necessary just untwist the old one and twist in the new one , between 5 and 15 dollars
