My kb 250 4ja1 fuel guage, speedometer, tempreture guage and rev counter stopped to work at the same time what could be the problem and how to fix itand

One has to check the fuse for Instruments. When it failed you check any cable for wear marks and the chance it shorted out against some ground. Next the main plugs for power to be in good condition and not being corroded. Sometimes the cables break where they are clamped on a cable lug and one can then easily pull them out of a connector. It can be a bad connection to ground, where ground cables connect to a larger wire. Ignition switches can fail and have connections for many functions with plugs down below. It should be any of these causes.

I put the battery wrong electrodes , the smoke come out from alternator. Fixed it, car won't start, appeared anti-theft signal on panel. Model: Wj 4.7l

I would suspect the engine management block. Take it to a dealership for specialised repair as electronic parts get destroyed with incorrect polarity. This will be expensive!

1995 Buick Roadmaster. Both fans are running when starting and relays heating up under the hood. Any suggestions please?

Question edited for clarity. Question moved to model category. It sounds like the relays are permanently closed circuit, so the contacts are fused together and the solenoid coil inside is burning up. It can also burn up the female contacts in the base. Test and swap them out, before the fire. Take the leads of the multimeter and connect them across the coil terminals of the relay. For a normal coil, the multimeter should read anywhere between 40? to 120?. If the coil is damaged i.e., it is open, the meter shows out of range and you have to replace the relay.

About my GWM bakkie doesn't start but the lights are on

OK, more information please. What year is this Bakkie? What engine is in it? What Exactly does it do when you try to start it? Nothing at all at the key, just a 'Clunk' or a very lazy turn over suggests a flat or weak battery. Batteries do get old and weak especially if they're over 5 years old or on a bigger size engine. Try putting it on charge overnight and see if that helps. Does it just spin and not try to start? This could be a 'No Spark' issue. Does it turn over, try to start then immediately stall? This might be a fuel supply problem. Dash lights only use a small amount of voltage so they are often the last thing to stop working.

Getting code C0292 lost communication with Engine Control System any ideas on a fix! 2004 GMC Yukon Denali XL

The C0292 code in your 2004 GMC Yukon Denali XL indicates a communication issue between the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM). Here are some steps to diagnose and potentially fix the problem: Check Ground Connections: Inspect the ground connections related to the PCM and EBCM. Follow the ECM ground and ABS module ground. Check the ground on the firewall (driver's side) and the frame rail under the driver's seat. Also, verify the engine ground on the driver's side. Inspect Wiring and Connectors: Visually examine the wiring harness and connectors associated with the EBCM. Look for any signs of damage, such as broken wires or corroded pins. Ensure that the connector pins are not bent or pushed out. Pay attention to any loose or poor electrical connections. Consider the Tune: If you've recently modified the vehicle's tuning, consider reverting to a different tune. Sometimes, a specific tune can cause communication issues. If you suspect the tune, contact the tuner for further guidance1. Professional Diagnosis: If the above steps don't resolve the issue, it's advisable to seek professional help. A qualified mechanic can perform a thorough diagnosis using specialized tools. Keep in mind that diagnostic costs typically range from $75 to $150 per hour.

2003 Saturn Vue 2.2 liter. Why is it stalling and the codes are P0340 and P1599. The car doesn't have a camshaft position sensor?

Circuit Description This ignition system does not use a conventional camshaft position (CMP) sensor that detects valve train position. The ignition control module (ICM) detects when #1 or #3 cylinder has fired on its compression stroke using sensing circuitry integrated within each coil. The sensing circuit detects the polarity and the strength of the secondary voltage output, the higher output is always at the event cylinder. The ICM sends a CMP signal to the engine control module (ECM) based on the voltage difference between the event and waste cylinder firing energy. This system is called compression sense ignition. By monitoring the CMP and crankshaft position (CKP) signals, the ECM can accurately time the operation of the fuel injectors. If the ECM receives an intermittent CMP signal from the ICM, the CMP Resync Counter on the scan tool will increment. When the ECM cannot use the information from the CMP signal, DTC P0340 will set. Diagnostic Aids • The following conditions may cause this DTC to set: - Low resistance in both the #1 and #3 secondary ignition circuits - High resistance in both the #4 and #2 secondary ignition circuits - An intermittent crank signal • An Intermittent crank signal will result in an interrupted cam signal and may set this DTC. • To locate an intermittent problem, monitor the CMP Active Counter parameter while running the engine with a scan tool. The counter should continuously count up to 255, then reset to zero. The counter will stop counting if a fault occurs in the cam signal circuit. If this DTC is determined to be intermittent, refer to Intermittent Conditions .

Has anyone ever bored a engine cylinder with a cutoff wheel attached to a drill to install a sleeve?

The problem I see straightaway is when the engine gets hot, the compound used to retain and keep the liner in place will let go and the sleeve will move causing catastrophic damage to the piston, cylinder wall and head.

08 Saab 9 7 x how to disable door and seatbelt chime

Disabling the door and seatbelt chime in a 2008 Saab 9-7X typically requires accessing the vehicle's computer system to adjust the settings. However, it's important to note that tampering with safety features like seatbelt reminders may not be legal in some jurisdictions, and it can also pose a safety risk. If you're still determined to disable the chime, here are some general steps you might follow:
  1. Consult the Owner's Manual: The owner's manual may contain information on how to adjust the chime volume or disable it. It's always a good idea to start here to see if there are any manufacturer-approved methods.
  2. Check for Dedicated Fuses or Relays: Some vehicles have dedicated fuses or relays for the chime system. You could potentially remove or disable these components to silence the chime. However, be aware that this may also affect other systems in the vehicle.
  3. Use a Diagnostic Tool: Modern vehicles often have customizable settings accessible through the onboard diagnostic (OBD) port. A diagnostic tool compatible with your vehicle might allow you to access these settings and disable the chime. However, this may require specialized knowledge and equipment.
  4. Visit a Dealership or Automotive Technician: If you cannot disable the chime on your own or are concerned about potentially causing damage to the vehicle, consider visiting a dealership or automotive technician. They may be able to adjust the settings for you or offer alternative solutions.
  5. Consider Aftermarket Solutions: There are aftermarket devices available that claim to disable seatbelts and door chimes. However, their effectiveness and legality may vary, so proceed with caution if you choose this route.
Before proceeding with any method to disable the chime, carefully consider the potential consequences and whether it's worth the risk. It's also important to remember that seatbelt reminders are a safety feature designed to encourage proper seatbelt usage, which can save lives in the event of an accident.

Could the lack of gas in the A/C system Trailblazer 4.2 2006 raise the engine temperature? It only happens in heavy traffic, at high speed it is normal

Yes, it can raise engine temperature. And heavy traffic adds to the strain on the engine, also impacting heat. The reason the temperature is normal at high speed is that then there is more airflow through the radiator helping dissipate heat. A/C inspection, Cooling System check, and Thermostat check by professionals are recommended to find the cause. I'd check what an A/C repair/replacement would cost in case that turns out to be the problem. If the coolant is low because of a leak, no use getting it recharged before the leak is fixed.

There is no relay for the dash indicators. I'm assuming you're referring to the dashboard's instrument panel. There's a 10amp fuse for the instrument panel that you should check and/or replace.
