Were is the horn located on my 2017 citroen dispatch

The most likely location for it is up under the front, left wing between the front wheel and the bumper. You might need to take the wheel arch liner out to get to it. If it's not there check the wheel arch on the other side. Another common location is behind the front bumper mounted on the bodywork crossbar between the radiator and the front grille.

I've got a 2005 Infinity G35 timing chain tensioner lost pressure and collapsed, the car died. Well since then I replaced the parts, it turns over but won't start?

Question edited for spelling, typos and Caps. Question moved to model category. Did you disconnect the battery to do the work? Did you reset the security and engine immobilizer? Did you check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes? Did you carefully check the valve timing and that the chain didn't skip teeth when the tensioner let go? ..

A damaged ignition switch the device that goes on the steering column with a connector what symptoms does it present? Trailblazer 4.2L 2006 Can it cause the engine to stall? What other symptoms?

If the ignition switch fails while in the "on" position, the vehicle may start but then immediately stall. This could be due to a momentary power supply issue to the fuel pump and ignition system during cranking. It is the properly working ignition switch that sends the power to the starter and onward. Chevy Trailblazer Bad Ignition Switch: Symptoms, Causes, + How to Fix ' Drivetrain Resource (700r4transmissionhq.com) 6 Symptoms Of A Bad Ignition Switch and Replacement Cost (mechanicbase.com) Sometimes, a bad ignition switch results in a silent starter motor. In this case, the starter motor doesn't make any noise when you turn the key. It could be due to insufficient power supply to the starter motor.

2012 Ford Ranger 6 speed manual has been fixed from limp mode and recently on highway it has come back!! 3 grand later I just don't no what to do now??

Question edited for clarity and into written English. Yes you were taken advantage of. As my old dad used to say "they saw you coming". Better to have a mature man take your vehicle for service. Fuel pumps either work or they don't. You test them for pressure. Very unlikely the Glow plugs were anything to do with anything as they only aid starting by heating the diesel fuel when the engine is cold. Changing the head gasket is pretty laughable. Did they do a pressure test, and a leak down test? That is how you test. You can also test coolant for combustion fumes. You needed an auto electrician in the first place, not someone guessing with your money. Limp Mode only becomes active if a sensor fails and that sensor failing could cause catastrophic failure to the engine with it not working. You need an auto electrician with a professional grade scan tool computer. They can clear the code, take your car on the highway and record EXACTLY what happens when the truck goes into Limp Mode. https://www.google.com/search?q=auto+electrician+near+me ..

1994 Ford F150, 5.8L, E4OD. Extra-Cab, SB, 4X4, 238K miles Transmission in Limp Mode AND will ONLY start in Neutral New MLPS neutral safety switch. Thoughts?

I'm sorry, a 1994 does not have a limp mode. If you have exploded the sprag and the transmission is full of debris, it's time for a rebuild or replacement.

Ford can't fix my 2009 ford focus SE because the part is not available. They said it's the smart junction box

That's the Achilles heel of modern cars. Shops don't want to take on a repair that likely will exceed the value of the car and then the owner just walks away after the shop has a couple grand into it and it still doesnt work or it keeps comming back ever other week.

If there's a vocational school near by that teaches automotive repair, they might use it as a case study. But you'll still need to provide a functional SJB. Used from eVendors $75-100 or you can send your unit to be repaired for $250-$300.

1991 GMC Sonoma 2.5 engine replaced fuel pump, filter. and distributer cap. The truck will randomly die going down the road. After it sits for10 minutes it will restart and run completely normal

Good place to get a vacuum gauge hooked up and identify problems using that tool. Without the gauge, check your exhaust and see how much if passing through the converter. You can do this by testing the temperature of the exhaust before and after the converter making sure the converter/exhaust isn't restricted. As the vehicle warms up a bad converter can cause the symptoms you are describing.

I have a 2007 uplander and when tempratures drop below freezing lights will start flashing without the key in the ignition switch

potential causes and steps to address this issue: Electrical Modules Issues: The flashing lights could be related to issues with the vehicle's electrical modules. These modules control various functions, including lighting. To diagnose this, I recommend seeking assistance from an auto-electrician who has access to a professional-grade scan tool computer. They can collect data from each module and identify which ones are causing the issue. Common culprits might include the Engine Control Module (ECM) and the Body Control Module (BCM). Security System Reset: Sometimes, disconnecting the battery can cause the vehicle's security system to lose its memory. This might lead to unexpected behavior. To reset the system, follow these steps: Maintain power to the car: When changing the battery, use a charger or connect wires to the old battery to prevent power loss. Refer to the reset procedure: You can find detailed instructions in this link or by searching for "2007 Chevy Uplander security reset" online. Wiring Schematics and Ignition Switch: If the issue persists, consider checking the wiring schematic for the ignition switch, steering column, and dashboard. Understanding the electrical connections can help pinpoint the problem. You can find wiring diagrams for the instrument panel here and additional diagrams here.

Cylinder head bolt torque settings for 1999 daewoo lanos 1400 is

USA car or not. some cars made else where are not the same. yes made in 10 plants world wide, my be not the same. first off most cars now use TTY torque to yield on head bolts and that means not to ReUSE them ever. the service manual shows 2 things the order and the TTY methods and rules for all bolts there. 1.4L engine sounds to me the engine froze iced up , lacking antifreeze or overheated max. my online FSM , shows 1.6L and 2.0L only in USA> so is that it? which one/? to post a question about any engine tell what engine is there first. or post the VIN with xxxx at the end the engine code is there. but not told, sorry , I'd hate to guess or post for 3 engines is a waste of time. if I google search 1400 I get no hits, why is that, IDK> how odd is it a typo,(major) there is 1.4L sold in some countries, Canada, or UK or other english speaking countries. GM/Daewoo E-TEC (Family 1) I give up ,my book has no 1.4L at all so can not read the engine page to you and would if I could. in USA to fix cars it is super wise to join and pay for Mitchell-1, DIY manuals. and read. and not make blunders in this area. here they are in all their glory, in ASE school we get free access. it is that good https://eautorepair.net/Checkout/ActivationPlan/1999/Daewoo/Lanos

2001 Isuzu KB280 Switch the ignition on, Deactivate the immobilizer and start the car. The starter makes one click, all power gone. Dash, immobilizer and everything is dead. After 3 minutes it resets

Have you had it plugged into an OBD scanner to check it isn't a sensor causing the issue? Sometimes something else can trigger a "No Start" issue like a bad sensor or a faulty immobiliser. The two most likely reasons for the starter to do that is - 1. a weak or flat battery or - 2. A bad starter motor. Check the battery is fully charged, (somewhere around 12.6 to 13.2 volts). If the battery is good it is more likely to be the starter motor. On a 2001 model it mght be the original factory starter. They do wear out and fail especially on high mileage or high compression engines like diesels. That 'Click' noise is probably the Solenoid switch on the starter working but the motor isn't turning like it should.

My Jaguar XE mirrors stop folding close with fob, but they close if I do manually and now the passenger door is not locking. What to do??? When I use the fob all doors close except the passenger side.

Folding mirrors normally have a setting to fold automatically or to fold only manually. https://www.google.com/search?q=jaguar+xe+folding+mirrors The passenger door not locking is likely a broken wire or a door module issue. For that, you need an auto electrician who has access to data sheets and also has a pro grade scan tool computer. The scan tool is bi-directional and can instruct things to happen electronically and verify that they did and if they didn't why? https://www.google.com/search?q=auto+electrician+near+me ..
