02 MONTE CARLO LS When I turn the key to the ON position, if the turn signals do not flash the starter will not engage.

3.4L or 3.8L not told. hot wired the starter solenoid you meant (a SOP act that) all techs do. and good input if yes. when it failed to crank the next act is SCAN the PCM and let it tell you why it blocks cranking I sure will. OBD2 scan tools any. we check all fuses next. be a shame if 50 cent ATC fuse is cause. Battery voltage does not drop below 11vcd cranking, 12.6v is charged (rested voltage) well if the starter is dead fix that first, and the automatic trans, blocks the cranking , to the starter if the car has bad PRNDL switch (fails in park) or alram in the cluster is active is it? blinkers are last, you can still hand signal by law so fix the starter first. no need to blink if can't drive or worse stranded with dead starter , how fun is that>? Chevy. (no starter or GEN replacements right? with battery still connected. sure. not done wrong the starter runs by the CRANK relay. under hood relay and Logic runs its coil inside said relay via, BCM etc. PCM crank fuse not blown.at N/M 11 slot. the key switch at start , sends 12vdc to CRANK FUSE and that goes to PCM. the PCM is told to crank, the start. the car has tranny park cable if not calibrated, or bad, park does not happen and PCM sees that and will not crank the car with P/N switch showing wrong. 4T65t transmission must be fully in to park and not failing P/N switch not scanning the PCM first you miss all these facts. if you have the M/T box now is the time to fess up. really. here is the PCM connection to the A/T box the signals are GGGG or 0000 volts DC. if not the PCM block all cranking if you scanned the PCM you'd already know this. the PCM is smart to know that ******* codes from the switch must set a DTC error. as you can see that it is 4 times safer to not to drive over the kids. amazing no? gggg-j330kvk12vsuom0b4uptz05c-d-0.jpg its al here to read https://eautorepair.net/Checkout/ActivationPlan/2004/Chevrolet/Monte%20Carlo

When that happens the inner wheel in the turn tries to turn slower or even backwards. To fix it. Chock the front wheels and with the truck in neutral, jack up each rear wheel and let is spin and untangle itself. If you have a trolley jack, you can lift both sides

Start up g6 gt 2007 alternator smells. Like burning wire

You need to determine where the noise is coming from. Check your power steering fluid and make sure it is full. Remove your serpentine belt and see if the noise goes away, That will let you know if it is coming from the engine or an accessory or pulley bearing. If the noise goes away whith the belt removed, check the alternator bearing and pulley bearings. If the noise is still there whith the belt removed, that means it is either in the engine or transmission.

2004 Toyota Sienna. Driver side sliding door problem.

It is not clear whether your key fob continues to work for the passenger side door. If it does not, you should replace the battery in the fob. Such batteries are available at Wal-Mart among the batteries. If the sliding door on the driver's side makes a noise but fails to open when you use the fob, the latch motor maiy have failed. If the cable in the side door has frayed and snapped, this would explain why you can manually open and close the door but the electronics won't move the door. And if while trying to close it manually, the door fails to latch properly, this is why you get an alarm. If the latch motor, cables, or any other components are malfunctioning, it could lead to the door not closing securely, triggering the alarm. Check your latch mechanism and cables. If you can determine the malfunctioning part and replace it yourself, that is cheaper than going through the dealer. Here is a service manual: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1061909/Toyota-Sienna-2004.html What To Do When Your Sienna's Side Door Won't Open Or Close ' Toyota Parts Center (olathetoyota.com)

2007 Buick Lucerne no crank no start key won't release won't come out of the park won't read that is in park

Here are some possibilities you can test yourself. But if none of them resolve your issue, you may need to consult a professional mechanic. Jeff Armer seems to have supplied even more detail. Just how comfortable you are will such procedures may determine just when you choose to go to a professional mechanic. No Crank or Start: This could be due to a weak battery, corrosion on battery terminals, poor starter electrical connection, bad ground connection, or a faulty starter motor. You might want to check the wires to the starter. If the car starts and runs when you jump the starter from underneath, it could indicate an issue with the starter circuit. Key Won't Release: First, ensure your vehicle is in Park and that the steering wheel is not locked. If the key still doesn't turn, try using a spare key, as the original might be worn-out or bent. If the problem persists, you might need to consult a mechanic or replace the ignition switch. Another method to try is to turn the key to the start position, let it fall back to the run position and leave it sit for ten minutes. Cycle the key off and wait five seconds and it should start. The battery has to be fully charged for this to work. Won't Come Out of Park or Won't Read That It's in Park: This could be related to the vehicle's security system. Running a diagnostic check for codes with a scan tool of both the Powertrain control module/ecu and the Body control module could help identify if any codes are stored. The vehicle should crank over in park or neutral.

2002 Toyota tundra sr5 v6 how many O2 sencers are there in the sr5 model I was told two now was told four

On the V6 engine it is most likely 4. There will be 2 nearest the engine, positioned with one in each exhaust manifold. There will also be 2 further back, underneath the vehicle. One before the catalytic converter and one after it. Do you know the "Bank" and "Sensor" number for the sensor you're looking for. This information helps locate where the faulty sensor is.
