There are multiple issues that could cause this power steering failure. On a hydraulic power steering system, the power steering pump (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-power-steering-pump), hoses (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-power-steering-hose), or rack and pinion assembly could all cause the steering wheel to be very difficult to...

You need to have the purge valve checked to see if it is flowing vapor from the fuel tank when the engine is at idle. The flow will cause the engine to run too rich and can cause the cylinder...

Hi Willie. Thanks for contacting us today. The reduced engine power light is a warning system that indicates a problem with a vehicle system, such as a throttle body, throttle position sensor or other components. Since there are multiple possible...

The manifold line is not normally replaced when compressor or the condenser is replaced unless a problem is noted. In order to replace it now you will need to get a quote from customer service to get estimate for the...

If the noise only occurs when you use remote start, that means that whatever is in "that" (factory added) circuit would surely be looked at. As you probably know, problems of this type are diagnosed using electrical test equipment, along...

When you say open, do you mean the door cannot physically open or is the lock not working? If the door physically cannot open, the linkage between the release inside the door and the handles may have come loose or...

It is entirely possible that the blower motor has failed. When the blower motor was last replaced, was the blower motor resistor replaced as well ? The resistor is also a big possibility. The blower motor resistor is used to...

I suggest you request an electrical diagnostic (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/electric-problems-inspection). Note that the control of some of these circuits is effected by switching of the ground side of the circuit (if so, each coil would have a separately wired ground) so the...

Hello - check fluid level in the transmission, and for problem code, whether the Check Engine light is one or not. I suspect it will be. This sounds like a failure internal to the transmission, clutches (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/does-an-automatic-transmission-have-a-clutch), valve body or...

Hi there. If your transmission oil is black or burned and the transmission will not go into reverse, then the reverse input clutch is burned and slipping. There is nothing wrong with the flex plate as it would effect all...

Hello. A whining sound coming from the engine in a no start condition is usually a sign of a loss of compression. A compression test must be done to determin if that is your case.A loss of compression may be...

OBD-II trouble codes do not constitute a diagnostic or identification of failed parts. The print-out that you received should have stated, "the parts referred to in these trouble codes must be actually tested on your vehicle to determine which parts,...

The illumination of the check engine light is the most concerning of the issues you have listed because that may reflect a fault in engine controls that should be resolved so that your vehicle is not needlessly damaged. To get...

Hi there. The fact that the vehicle needed this work in the first place is what would have caused the converter to fail. When a cylinder misfires from bad plugs or coils then the excessive fuel will ruin a converter....

Code P1682 sets if the ECM detects a difference in the voltage levels of the two main power inputs to the ECM. Basically, the code will be stored when one voltage input has a significantly different value than the other...

Most emission codes will not result in a no crank condition. Once the cause of the no crank/no start fault is repaired though, you should still request a check engine light diagnostic (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/check-engine-light-is-on-inspection) so that the responding certified mechanic can...

This may be a result of low transmission fluid (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/transmission-fluid-service) or potentially a faulty transmission control module. A faulty transmission control module may cause a delay in acceleration or erratic shifting of gears. The transmission control module has various sensors...

The oil pressure light will usually come on when a few things could be happening. Either the motor is in fact low on oil, the oil pump could be failing or the oil pressure sending unit (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/oil-pressure-sensor-replacement) is not working...

If the battery is new and fully charged, and you turn the key to the "start" position and you hear nothing that means that either the starter circuit supplying the starter motor (ignition switch, wiring, relay, fuse, etc.) has a...

Hi there. Locate the crankshaft position sensor and check for power to it with the key on. If there is power, then with using a paper clip to back probe the wiring with the plug installed on the sensor, check...
