Q: Brake and turn signal lights out

If you are using the cruise control system, but need to accelerate, you can do so without canceling the cruise control. The cruise control will be canceled if you use the brake pedal, but not if you use the gas...

You will need to have the engine scanned for codes and diagnosed for loss of spark or fuel. Your water pump is driven by the timing belt, and if the belt broke (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/timing-belt-replacement) or water pump (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/water-pump-replacement) seized, then you...

Hey there. Your logic is absolutely correct. This is in fact one of the most commonly used ways to diagnose a bad ignition coil. If the trouble code turns to a P0301 (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/p0301-obd-ii-trouble-code-cylinder-1-misfire-detected-by-jamahl-walker), the ignition coil is faulty (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/ignition-coil-replacement).

Hello there, many faults will cause your 2009 Ford Flex to have a squeaking noise around the belt area. The most common faults are a failing serpentine belt (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/serpentine-drive-belt-replacement), belt tensioner (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/drive-belt-tensioner-replacement), idler pulley (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/idler-pulley-replacement), alternator (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/alternator-replacement), or power steering...

The most common cause of the engine crank no start (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/car-is-not-starting-inspection) is loss of ignition spark from the ignition system. The distributor is known to have internal shaft oil leaks that will short out the internal cam and crankshaft sensors...

There are actually several possible causes for the engine to sputter (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/engine-is-sputtering-inspection). It is possible for there to be a vacuum leak, a faulty oxygen sensor, a catalytic converter that is starting to show signs of failure, or even a...

Hello. To say that they catalytic converter is good or bad is impossible without having the car here. If the manifold is heating up, and the catalytic convert has failed, you will see bigger signs of failure in the near...

Hi there. The code P0841 (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/p0841-obd-ii-trouble-code-transmission-fluid-pressure-sensor-switch-a-circuit-range-performance-by-valerie-johnston) means that the pressure in the transmission has dropped. This could be caused by low or dirty contaminated oil or the transmission fluid pressure sensor failing. Check the level of the transmission with the...

Hi there. First check the air filter on the engine. A dirty air filter will starve a diesel engine and prevent it from running correctly. Then check the fuel / water separator and see if there is a drain valve....
