1987 Jeep dies when temperature hits 180. Then it will start up after its sits for 30 minutes.
First you will need to determine if there is a problem with the electrical system or fuel system. Connect a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail to see if you have pressure when the vehicle dies. It it maintains pressure and the vehicle dies, then check to see if there is a spark issue. Fuel issue could be bad/weak fuel pump, bad relay or restriction in fuel delivery system. No spark could be ignition coil, bad computer, bad electrical connection or relay. To check these systems you need special meters and scanners. Best to take to a repair center.

How do you get the interior lights to come on when
Hi, viewer. The interior light is powered and controlled by the body control module or BCM. However, there is an on/off button beside the main headlight switch that overrides the interior lighting function. If this button is off, interior lights will not come on regardless of any door being closed or opened.
If this button is on, interior lights will come on whenever a door is opened. If you close all doors, and if the driver door is the last to be closed, the interior lights will stay on for about 30 sec and then the lights goes off automatically. In case you left any door opened too long, the BCM has an internal timer that will shut off the interior lights automatically when it detects that a door is still opened and the allowable time has elapsed. The BCM is programmed this way to protect the battery circuit and functions. : )

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

My interior lights on my 1998 grande cherokee jeep wont shut off
This might sound silly but have you checked the switches on the actual light fittings? They usually have three settings. Permanently Off, door controlled or permanently On. If there are no switches on the actual light fitting try pushing the lens itself at each narrow end. Some lenses rock end to end as the switch mechanism.

1995 Honda TRX 300 No Spark while cranking starts when start button is released, also starts off the kick start
When you have a situation where a vehicle like your Honda TRX 300 starts only when you release the start button or when using the kick-start, it's often indicative of an issue with the ignition switch or wiring. Here's a step-by-step troubleshooting guide you can follow:
- Check the Ignition Switch: Sometimes, the ignition switch can malfunction, causing intermittent starting issues. Make sure it's functioning properly by checking for any loose connections or signs of damage.
- Inspect the Wiring Harness: Over time, the wiring harness can degrade, leading to electrical issues. Look for any frayed wires, loose connections, or damaged insulation. Pay close attention to the wiring around the ignition system.
- Test the Ignition Coil: The ignition coil generates the spark that ignites the fuel in the engine. Use a multimeter to test the resistance of the ignition coil. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for the specific resistance values. If the ignition coil is faulty, it may not provide a spark consistently.
- Check the Spark Plug: A faulty spark plug can also cause intermittent starting issues. Remove the spark plug and inspect it for any signs of fouling, such as carbon buildup or damage to the electrodes. Replace the spark plug if necessary.
- Inspect the Kill Switch: The kill switch is designed to shut off the engine by grounding the ignition system. If the kill switch is malfunctioning or stuck in the off position, it can prevent the engine from starting or cause intermittent starting issues.
- Test the Starter Relay: The starter relay sends power to the starter motor when you press the start button. Use a multimeter to test the continuity of the starter relay. If it's faulty, replace it with a new one.
- Check the Battery: A weak or faulty battery can cause starting issues. Test the battery voltage with a multimeter. It should read around 12 volts or higher. If the battery voltage is low, recharge or replace the battery.
- Inspect the Starter Motor: If the starter motor is not engaging properly or is worn out, it can cause starting issues. Check the starter motor for any signs of damage or wear. You may need to remove it for a closer inspection.
By systematically checking these components, you should be able to diagnose and fix the starting issue with your Honda TRX 300. If you're uncomfortable performing these checks yourself, it's always a good idea to consult a professional mechanic for assistance.
Where is cabin filter on 2000 e150
The 2000 Ford Econoline or E150 4 speed automatic, 5.4l V8 xl passenger or conversion van does not have an owner replaceable cabin air filter. The way that Ford has opted to deal with the issue of debris entering g the hvac or ac system was by utilizing a plastic mesh to catch any leaves or other foreign particles. I find using a vacuum while gently shaking the mesh does the job. It's located on the passenger side under a kick plate located under the airbag panel.
