We fixed this issue on tailgate and other doors by spraying lubricant in the proper places.
'ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding Mother of Mercy shoot that damn noise already'
comes back on. It may go away after awhile but that again is like a lottery. My luck has never been good with this vehicle however there are times like in extremely cold weather and bad roads where it helps me out of bad sticky situations. I guess it is one of the reasons why it stays with me.
Doy you know what generates the ding sound? I would like to disconnect it so it stops for good.
The Battery light came on, the brake light came on, and the ABS light all came on at the same time and there were three beeps. Am I doomed? It was running fine when I had the plugs changed and now this, but I don't trust the mechanic anymore. He wanted $400 to replace a $35.00 line. Help!
Second, my dashlights all flicker on and off, randomly. It doesn't seem to matter if it's raining or sunny, hot or cold out..
Any ideas? It's been driving me nuts for about 3 years now..
also when the key was in, no key left in chime, no lights on chime, no brake lights, no hazard lights, no headlights
when running - sometimes no brake lights, no fuel guage
when shut off - the headlights would stay on and brake lights - if they worked
dealer was great!! saved a tow by starting, turning key back 1 click, shifting to neutral, restarting in neutral, then drive
then they found short in wiring harness directly under air filter - $100
there was no power to fuse 11, fuse 16 and 5 on same circuit
I had to reply because this forum sure helps when you get stumped
good luck
I hope this helps best regards.
Also, the guy who sold me the van didn't have the owner's manual? could you tell me how to reset the computer, or direct me to a website?
Thanks for your help.
to reset the computer you.
First disconnect the battery for a few minutes and then reconnect the terminals.
Then:
1.Put van in park with parking brake on and all accessories off and start the engine.
2.Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temp and then let it idle at least one minute
3. Turn the air conditioner on and let the engine idle at least a minute.
4.Make sure your parking brake is on and put you foot on the brake. With the air conditioner on put the van in drive and let the engine idle for at least one minute.
5. Drive the van around to finish the learning process. usually you have to drive the van for over 10 miles to complete the process and make sure you do it at highway speeds also.
I have done this to my van and car that a friend of mine has. He was told by the shop he needed a new transmission because it was surging. I asked if he changed battery lately and he said he had. I reset his computer and he has not had a problem since.....
I had the check engine light tested at AutoZone, and they gave me a list of 8 things it COULD be. Great. That wasn't very helpful, especially considering some of the parts cost $140 to replace (Mass Air Flow Sensor). The guy said I should try spraying some MAF sensor cleaner in the air flow tube and replacing the air filter. I guess I'll try that for now and see if it works.
I could use some help on resetting the computer. After I do that cleaning on the MAF sensor, won't I need to reset the computer to see if the check engine light goes off?
Thanks again.
My rear windows stopped working. Initially it was the right rear window followed later by the left. I had the dealership check it out. After an expensive $400 to look see, I was told both the motors have burnt out and needs replacement. Cost @ $400 each and with labor it would be over $1500.00. I walked away than thank god I did. I thought I would just not use the rear windows ever. Then recently, I was waiting for my wife who was late returning home due to a transit failure. While waiting, I started removing the switch to check it. I found that the window was working and it sure seems the switches are flaky. I just do not know how to remove the wires from the switch block. It seems crimped on or something. There are about 6 wires (have to check). If I can get it off I could certainly get a replacement.
Is there anyone here who knows how these wires come off?
What boils me is when Advantage Ford in Calgary put the panels back after telling me both motors were kaput, they did not do a good job. The panels were not put back correctly and they did not replace ay fasterners (plastic rivets).
