How deactivate alarm on 1999 Grand Jeep Cherokee

I'm assuming this is the factory fitted alarm. This could be more than one possible answer. First check the silly stuff. are all the doors and tailgate closed correctly? A sightly open door switch could trip the alarm system into thinking the vehicle is being stolen. Is the battery on the Jeep fully charged? A low battery charge can cause alarm systems to throw a tantrum as it's not getting the correct signals from the alarm sensors. If the key has a battery in it or it has a separate alarm key fob check the battery in that as well. When you insert the key it is supposed to communicate with the vehicle's immobiliser/alarm system to allow you to start the car. It sounds like this isn't happening. Are there any 'new' warning lights on the Dash display? These can give clues to where the issue could be. How are you turning the alarm off when this does happen? If these check don't solve the issue there could be an actual fault with the alarm system itself. Remember this is a 24 year old Jeep and Alarm systems do get old and develop faults. You may need to get an alarm specialist to look at it as they will have the specialist tools to test it. Sadly that will cost you money.

2000 Dodge Durango. WHAT DO I DO WHEN THE MECHANIC IS WRONG?

The tie rod ends should have a taper to them and likewise, the knuckle will have a taper to the hole the tie rod end goes into. As long as the tapers match, you are good. As far as driving without an alignment, if it feels secure when you drive, I wouldn't worry about it. You might get excess tire wear, but if you are only driving for a few days until the parts are in, you should be fine.

I have a 97 Aurora Why does this check charge system message pops up on my info screen

If the message is still appearing there must be another issue that needs looking at. What exactly do you mean by 'Pop'? If it snapped there will be a reason. Were there any new noises before the belt 'popped' or now the belt has been changed? Noises like squealing or a grumbling sound? Squealing is often the belt slipping and grumbling could be a bearing for a belt tensioner or one of the belt pulleys. Do you have access to a voltmeter or a multimeter? Set the multimeter to DC volts and test the battery with the engine and ignition Off. Remember it's red to red (+) and black to black (-). Your should get a reading somewhere between 12.6 and 13.2 volts. Start the engine and do it again. The reading should increase to somewhere between 13.5 to 14.5. This shown the alternator is working and charging the battery. If the voltage doesn't change get the alternator checked.

2007 Nissan Murano. "SLP" and "VDC off" lights came on.

Question edited for clarity. Question moved to model category. Needing an alignment wouldn't cause that. The lights may be caused by wheel sensors not being connected back up properly. Or this, battery disconnect. https://www.nissanmurano.org/threads/vdc-off-slip-abs-lights-on-after-replacing-battery.224511/ Running rough may be due to them disconnecting the battery, and there is a relearning process to go through.

2017 audi q7 ac not working have a trouble code B10AE31

The trouble code B10AE31 in an Audi Q7 pertains to the air conditioning system. This specific code indicates a fault in the air conditioning control module. To diagnose and resolve this issue, you may want to try the following steps:
  1. Reset the system: Sometimes, a temporary glitch can cause the code to appear. Try resetting the system by disconnecting the car battery for a few minutes and reconnecting it. Then, check if the AC starts working again.
  2. Check the fuses: Look for any blown fuses related to the AC system. The AC system may not work if there is a blown fuse. Replace any blown fuses and see if that resolves the issue.
  3. Scan the vehicle: Use an OBD-II scanner or take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic to scan for any additional trouble codes. This will help identify any other potential issues that may be causing the AC problem.
  4. Inspect wiring and connections: Check the wiring and connections related to the AC system. Look for any loose or damaged wires or connectors. Repair or replace any faulty components as necessary.
  5. Consult a professional: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, it is recommended to consult a professional mechanic or take your vehicle to an Audi dealership for further diagnosis and repair. They will have the necessary tools and expertise to accurately diagnose and fix the problem.
Remember, working on the AC system of a vehicle can be complex and requires expertise. It is always recommended to consult a professional if you are unsure or unable to fix the issue yourself.

2010 Hyundai Santa Fe what cause the alternator not to charge?

Hi Joe It is sort of a guess, but your headlights are powered from the battery and cause a drain when on, so the regulator provides extra volts to compensate the battery charge being depleted. Except your question heading says 'not to charge'. The question body says 'why the alternator is charging when I turn the headlights on'? Should that be 'why the alternator is NOT charging when I turn the headlights on? If that is the case, you need an auto electrician.

Where is my fuel filter located on my 2010 chrysler sebring limited? im not even finding replacement parts

On some vehicles the fuel filter is actually built into the fuel pump so it is located inside the fuel tank. I think from 2009 the Sebring used this type of filter so you won't find a filter on it's own as a part. Unless your vehicle has above average mileage you don't really need to worry about changing the filter until it's 5 years old or 50,000 miles (whichever comes first). To replace the filter you will need to replace the entire fuel pump assembly. For this you might need to drop the fuel tank out from under the car.

Can I drive my 2001 Acura CL with the CD changer out?

Sure you can drive it. Only problem is the radio may have a security code if you pull the fuze you'll need the code...it should come w/ the owners manual.... if not then you gotta take out the deck and there should be a serial number behind the deck which will tell you the code for the deck. Or the dealer can help with the vin and a ID that you own the car. Best to you.
