The hazard switch, (also known as the "emergency flashers",) is a vital part of your vehicle's safety system. The switch is typically located within easy access to the driver and has a red triangle located on the switch. The main...
Hi There, I would suggest checking the idle air control valve to be sure it is not sticking. The idle air control valve monitors the air intake as it is mixed with fuel prior to being injected into the engine...
Hi there. Quite often when you have a situation where the car all of the sudden stops accelerating above 60, it will be caused by a few different component failures. Modern cars like your 2015 Sentra have a very complex...
There may be a number of reasons that may cause the car not to start that may be connected to the radiator hose blowing off. If the hose blew off while driving, this suggests the car may have been overheating...
Whether or not this is serious would depend on the reason the check engine light is on. I would recommend having your vehicle's trouble codes scanned with an OBD2 scanner by a certified mechanic. Once the codes have been...
Hello, yes this can break down the coolant and it can become acidic. The coolant system will need to be flushed. If you'd like, a certified Your Mechanic Technician can come to your location to perform this. Please look at...
Hi Darryl. You might want to watch this video to learn how the UConnect language settings can be changed. Also, refer to your owner manual for additional instructions.
If you are getting normal cold air out of driver’s side and warm air out of center and passenger vents then you most likely have a bad temperature blend door actuator for the passenger side on the A/C evaporator case....
There is always a chance of something going wrong with a repair, but let's not start there. There may be a new concern, such as a vacuum leak or a sensor causing false readings. Since there was a recent repair,...
If you have clean brake fluid at the wheels after following the proper bleed sequence, I would try bench bleeding the master cylinder one more time and bleeding at the wheels afterwards. If you still don't have a proper brake...
The squealing noise you've described does sound like the accessory drive belt is slipping. Something is still not correct with the belt or tensioner. It needs to be inspected by an experienced mechanic. Ensure that they check pulley alignment and...
There are quite a few possible causes for what you are describing. For example, in order to shift a vehicle out of park, you must step on the brake. If you have a faulty brake light switch, the shifter is...
Hi there. The EVAP detection pump on most Chrysler's are located under the driver-side rear wheel well. To access and properly remove it, I would highly suggest purchasing a service and repair manual for your vehicle.
Hello, if you hear a bearing that is noisy in the alternator, the only repair is to replace the alternator. This is something that should be done sooner than later to avoid the bearing failing and locking up the alternator...
Your car has three brake lights – driver side, passenger side and the high-mount brake light, which is sometimes called a third brake light. While it’s not necessary to drive legally (unlike the other two brake lights), it does provide...
Your vehicle has two oxygen sensors. One is located before the catalytic converter and one is located just after the catalytic converter. As you may know the oxygen sensors which are part of your emissions system read exhaust gases to...
When the Check Engine Light flashes, this can mean that the catalytic converter may be flooded with fuel and that a fire hazard exists. Because your car is sputtering, I believe this condition exists for you. When a car sputters...
Hi there. The thermostatic fan switch is located under the hood, in the center rear engine area, below valve cover, and is mounted on lower driver side of engine block. The thermostatic fan switch turns on the electric fans when...
Hi there. There is no way to tell if the oil pressure is really low or your sending unit or gauge is bad. Instead of towing it, you may want to have a mechanic come to you and diagnose the...
The cooling fans are controlled On and Off by the engine ECM. The ECM commands the cooling fan relay module box (on left front of engine compartment) to turn on the fans when needed. If the fans are on all...
Hello, thank you for writing in. The first thing we need to do is try and replicate the issue. If it happens when you turn into your driveway, then turning, a bump, or braking may be part of what starts...
The glove box gives you a section of added storage in front of the passenger seat. To open the glove box, pull on the handle on the front, and pull down on the glove box. To close the glove box,...
Hello - coolant temperature sensors are variable resistor devices - the colder the coolant temperature, the greater the electrical resistance value reported to the engine computer. (The warmer the temperature, the less resistance.) An "open" condition, as in an incomplete...
Hi, thanks for writing in. If the engine is running cooler than normal, this could mean the thermostat is stuck in the open position. This will cause the engine to run cold and not warm up properly. This can cause...
Hi there. It sounds like the latch assembly is freezing up. This commonly occurs in cold weather if the latch is old and if there is any debris built up in the latch. In some cases cleaning it out with...
