how are the tyre pressures ?

is the power steeering pump/drive belt all ok ?

are you doing work in this area and have this wire left over and can't find where it goes or have you just found it a think it should be connected ? depending on model some wiring connectors aren't used as the manufacturere uses the same wiring looms across entire range to save on costs of making different looms for each model so if vehicle is working ok dont worry about where it goes,if you did unplug it then there must be a socket so it is just a case of having a really close look, some times the smaller sockets can be behind a larger one so wont see it with the other connector in place ,hope this is of some sort of help to you

Then its like my drivers door that I had to replace the lock on the inside of door as my tumblers only lasted so long. My daughter got key stuck upside down and it ruined the lock. Hey, replace lock and use new key for that door or have lock smith rekey it for the old key.

The fuel pump, like all vehicles these days, is located inside the fuel tank. To replace most of them, you have to drain and remove the fuel tank. Luckily for you, yours can be accessed from the top by removing the carpet etc. from the rear cargo area.

The immobilizer systems on these vehicles can only be accessed and programmed by a dealer or a shop with a T4 or Autologic scantool system. Typically, replacing batteries in a fob should not present any new issues. Try manually locking the vehicle with the key. One turn to the right with the key in the driver door should lock the whole vehicle, activate the alarm which is indicated by one horn beep, a flash of the parking lights & a rapid flashing of the red light on the dash. After less than a minute, the red light should go to a slower flash and the vehicle is now armed. By placing the key back in the drivers door, one turn to the left should de-activate the alarm and a second turn should un-lock the rest of the vehicle and it should start. If this does not work then the key may not be communicating with the vehicle and may need to be re-programmed. Make sure the batteries in the fob are correct, installed correctly and of good quality. If you do need to have the key re-programmed, make sure you have all the keys so that they can all be done at the same time. Most local shops do not have the capability to access the immobilization systems on these vehicles.

I would think that it is the ac evaporator unit and condensate in the ac box that is unable to get out the drain pipe from a blockage . It could be ice melting off the ac unit fins . check that the ac is operating properly

May be a shock. Never heard this before but shocks fail in weird ways

The heater core is acting like a small radiator and is cooling the system when it is on. That means that the main radiator on the front is not working. You need to take the cap off and look inside to see if there are a lot of minerals or other deposits that are blocking the flow inside that radiator. If there is none, check the radiator fins on the outside of it and see if they are smashed flat or obstructed with dust, mud or other debris.

you have to take the seat out and use and ohm meter to check for open and closed circuits on the heating elements

Options: 1) Fuel pumps can often go out "slowly" meaning sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. Eventually it will die and you will be no fuel to your engine. 2) It might be your fuel filter. 3) If you are getting fuel to the engine, it could be your spark plugs, plug wires, etc...

parts store can tell you. even give detailed intsructions on replacement.

I believe you have to have the keys programmed by the dealer. I can't be absolutely sure of the 2001 model year but later years require dealer programming.

2001 probably a chip key.
