good luck
Anyways, I've prepared to fix it myself and it seems do-able.
To get to the motor, you have to remove the headliner which will require you to remove your sun visors, ceiling handles etc. Everything that is obviously screwed into the headliner needs to come off. From what I've read, this should expose the motor assembly.
Good luck! Let me know what you find. Any other problems with your Montero that I should look out for?
Strange group of happenings. Any suggestions? I have not taken the car into the dealer yet for a scan of the lighting controls. My standard OMD II scanner does not give any faults.
Thanks to anyone who can respond.
Mike
Also, sometimes the A/T Temp light comes on before turning the key but disappears once it idles and runs.
Thanks,
Alright, so my alternator has been replaced a few months ago. My ongoing problem at the moment is that something is draining my battery. My mechanic took a look and found that an alternator wire was causing a short so he fixed that. I got my car back, but I still don't trust it. When I drive it feels sluggish when I accelerate. I feel the need to put my car in park and rev it to keep my battery from pooping out on me when I am at a stop or stop light. As I was pulling into a parking lot my car kind of died but it managed to start. I know something is still wrong because my warning lights will flicker at times and that is when I start to get worried and paranoid because that's how I know my car is still not 100%. Someone have any ideas or suggestions? I have a busy schedule with work and school and this just adds to my stress.
Fan blower only works on #4 setting.
Where is my fix?
Info irrelevant to post: bought in 2003. Was a rental before I got it.
Previous issues:
1. Didn't want to shift into 4WD after not being used all summer.
Eventually went in on its own.
MY FIX: put it in 4WD once a month even when not needed
2. Lights on 4WD indicator burned out one by one
First left rear, then right rear.
MY FIX: Don't look at them. I've owned vehicle long enough to feel
what it is doing.
3. Bad hub bearing passenger front.
Long time problem. Thought it was choppy tires from bad
alignment. Felt it as I steered. Got progressively worse over 1.5
years (yep that long) until it finally said "hey, you got a problem"
Got new tires, reputable alignment still present, but turned into an
intermittent grind, rather that a "tension" when steering.
MY FIX: Dealership replaced hub housing. $530.
INTERESTING NOTE: Dealership was insistent on replacing my
brakes and rotors at the same time because "the mechanic might
not be able to fit the caliper back on" After a firm, "You're not
changing the brakes, I can do that myself (instead of their $350
insta-quote)," they decided to check with the mechanic to see if he
could and SURPRISE, he could!
4. Recently installed a car started because we were warned that it would
void the warranty. Warranty is up, so on it went.
5. Cargo door wouldn't actuate properly.
MY FIX: WD-40
6. Interior smells like smoke.
NO FIX: Can't get my wife to stop smoking.
Thanks!
Thank you for your time.
Jeff.
It felt like a dead or almost dead battery, Battery is new ( 3/11) Now it won't turn over.
All the electrics work, lights, radio etc. The left turn indicator would not flash recently now it works. I am wondering if the problem is in the key switch and the turn indicator issue as well as the non start are related.
Just bought the Montero a week ago and realized a few days that the horn is not working. When I press the horn, I can hear a click on the left side of the engine (as you open the hood and look at it). I checked the horn, witch is located near the radiator, I replaced it with a new one, still not working. Looked around under the hood and found another horn close to the windshield on the left side as you look at the engine. Tried the new horn on the new spot found and this one still not working. I checked the fuses, but there is none for the horn, so I'm guessing it doesn't have a fuse and I don't believe it would be that anyways, because the contact is heard when I press the horn on the wheel. It is really annoying not having it work and I really don't wanna go to a dealer to check that out, as they will rip me off just for a simple test unless there is no other option.....can you guys give me some hints or some advise in what to do? I'm usual pretty handy and figure things out, but this one is over-taking me.......thanks in advance for giving time to read this, any help would be greatly appreciated.....
I am having similar issues with my 2001 Mit Montero Sport XLS. My SRS light comes on, everything begins to run slow or dim, the windows start to roll down very slow, the windshield wipers get slow, the interior lights begin to dim and then eventually the vehicle will die.
I can have it jumped and it will run fine again for weeks or months without these symptoms and then happen all over again.
I have had the alternator and battery thoroughly checked and it carries the charge it is suppose to. Had the ECM checked and it's all good. Had it checked for issues with gound or other wire shorts, nothing. I have been to several mechanics and no one can understand these symptoms or find a solution.
Anyone have any ideas on these weird behaviors?
I have a 2000 Montero Sport. I had the same issues a few years after I bought it. Everything I looked up online said torque converter. I figured that was pretty expensive so I took it to one of my friends that is a mechanic. This has been about 5 o 6 years ago. He flushed the transmission, put whatever the treatment is you use for transmissions. He drove a few miles, flushed and treated again. Drove a few miles again, then repeated that again, but this time he just left it in there without the flush. He said it would take a few weeks of driving if that was going to work. Well in about a week the problems stopped. I have not had any issues with that since. It cost about $250 I think, I know for sure it was less than $300. I have the paper around somewhere that listed all he done. I will see if i can find it in the next few days. I hope this helps! Oh and the only problems i have ever had with my montero was that. I had to change starter about 4months ago. I bought it with 41000 miles on it, now i have 200,000.....still going strong! i love mine.
