Hello shawn_weswt,

Below is a diagram of the belt routing. I hope this helps.

sounds like you got air in your brake lines from where you changed your pads thier should be a bleeder valve on your brakes get a friend to hold the brake pedal to the floor while you take a wrench and break the valve open when the pedal hits the floor close the valve just continue doing that until pure brake fluid comes out without air bubbles start at the master cylinder under the hood and don't stop until you have done all four corners if that doesn't fix it you might need a brake booster

Was the battery disconnected or replaced when this ocuured? If so, the VSS will need to be calibrated again, if not, there is a larger issue.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (Do not
start the engine).
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly three times
within 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.
NOTE: If the indicator message illuminates when you
start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not
reset. If necessary repeat this procedure."

Follow these instructions.

i've had the same problem with my 2008 jeep compass running after i take the key out-i thought it was from my car starter-took it back twice so far-after the last time it seems to be ok

Your Jeep uses a H.O.A.T engine antifreeze that is pink in color. It is not recommended that you mix any other type of antifreeze with the H.O.A.T. Any Chrysler, Dodge or Jeep dealership stocks this type of antifreeze and it is sold already mixed with water. The cost is around $14.00 a gallon.
Do Not Mix any other antifreeze.

in order to do this job all you will need is a crescent wrench or adjustable wrench and loosen the locknut on the back of the tierod then turn the outer tierod off. Be sure to count how many revolutions you turned to get it off so that you can but the new one on the same way.

thats your check engine lite, you need to have your computer scanned to see what code is there.

Check the jug of antifreeze carefully to see if it says ALL COOLANTS. If so, your good to go.
Prestone make an ALL ENGINES coolant. You can mix this into any type coolant including the DEXCOOL GM uses.

Again....check the jug for use compatibility.

Be careful you don't buy PRE MIXED and dilute it, thinking it is pure antifreeze that needs mixing 50/50 with water.

Inspect/Replace Bulbs used in most other lighting fixtures fit into sockets and are held in place by spring tension or mechanical force.
Common type of automotive bulbs. Bulbs are coded with numbers for replacement purposes. Bulbs with different code numbers might appear physically similar but have different wattage ratings.
There are two basic construction designs for exterior lights: those in which the lens is removed and then the bulb removed from the front, and those in which the light assembly must first be removed, then the socket from the back of the assembly, and finally the bulb from the socket.

• Removing the lens from the latter type assembly could cause serious damage to the reflector due to dust and other contaminants.
• Wiping the reflector surface to clean it can also seriously reduce the light's brightness. Therefore, do not remove the lens from light assemblies in which the socket and bulb are removed from the back of the assembly.
• The bulbs are held in their sockets in a number of ways.
• Some bulbs are simply pushed into and pulled out of their sockets, and some are screwed in and out.
• To release a bayonet-style bulb from its socket, the bulb is pressed in and turned counterclockwise.
• The blade-mount style is removed by pulling the bulb off the mounting tab, then turning the bulb and removing it from the retaining pin.
• To replace a bulb, remove the bulb accordingly from its socket, and insert a new bulb.

RC12MC-4 is the original Champion spark plug installed in your engine. As for flashing the PCM (computer), I have never heard of this procedure required after a simple spark plug replacement. Unless there is another reason for the flashing, it does not make a bit of sense to have this done.
