send me your e-mail and i will send the diagram of the timing belt, and let me know if there is any thing else you need for the job and i will get it for you as well.

i assume you mean that you have hazard flashers work and not the signals.there are two flasher units on the car.one is for the hazards and the other is for the turn signals.they look exactly the same but have there own circuits.it sounds like you changed the hazard flasher thinking it was the signal flasher.you need to look for the flasher unit and change it.it should be on the fuse panel or under the dash in the same general area.

It could be a bad gauge or there is something wrong with the oil pressure. Oil pressure can be caused by a number of things. It could be because the oil has low viscosity or simply put bad oil that needs replacement or the oil level may just be too low.

Other causes may be caused by worn out parts such as bearings or crankshaft journals. Check also for leaks when you park the car overnight. Put newspaper and observe. Have the car engine washed and see if the leaks are from above the car. These could just be bad gaskets or seals. Check also for the smoke that comes from the exhaust. If you are burning oil it may also be a bad gasket or seals.

Usually this type fuse is found in the fuse receptacle underneath the hood on top of the engine. It should have a diagram either on the outside of the lid or sometimes can be found on the inside top as well.

That certainly is an odd problem. Either the nut backed off or the stud broke. As you have the valve cover off anyway have someone who knows what they are doing put in a new stud and rocker, check the push rod for bending, if so equipped, and adjust all valves on both sides. Replace the valve cover gaskets, should be OK as the rocker arm missing just means the spring held the valve shut.

check for a clogged fuel filter, vacuum leaks.

not that iam aware of i think its just the fact you need a new wiper linkage or shorter wiper blades

Yea...they do that, you'll need to have a new one. Make sure that you don't have a seized up alternator or water pump by giving it a spin by hand. I everything turns easily you just need a new belt. BTW you can drive it a short distance (to get of to side of the road) but don't go very far it will over heat.

The 2.5's are notorious for bad distributor modules. Pull one of the spark plugs and check to see if you have spark. If there is no spark, then that is the most likely cause - especially if this just happened suddenly. It is very easy to replace. Just remove the distributor cap and rotor. Unplug the module connector and remove the module from the distributor.

Hello,

Once you have checked the fuses and they all seem to be intact, then you need to check the relay switch of the car. Most of the times it develops faults hereby resulting in those lights not working.so run a check on the relay switch because the lights cannot all stop working at the same time without it being a fault from a component that controls them.

Hope this helps.
Take care and good luck

What year, model and engine?

The fuel pump is in the fuel tank, you have to be able to get the car off the ground and pull the whole fuel tank to replace it.

The door light switch may be shorting out locate it on the side of the door, you didn't give a year so don't know if you have the mechanical one or the magnetic on if you look at the door near the cab and look for a button shaped like a T then push it in and out it should spring back out check all doors and watch the light If you push the button in and the light goes out you have found the switch that's giving you a problem The door switch closes the ground and turns the light on. If you check all of the switch's and it still stays on then the light switch is damaged internally even if it works the rest of the system it could be bad. The switch is about $15.00 and is not that hard to change and no special tools are required for this job. If you have any questions let me know and thanks for using Fix-ya.

what model?what engine?

8 yrs----- take the pump out its seized up or clogged up with old fuel thats like sump oil ,take the pump out and through the hole and then empty tank it will stink like turpentine and be rancid as a certain bacteria attacks it .you may even need a new pump as well

I hope that you mean remove crankshaft pulley. crankshaft removal is not part of timing belt replacement, but the pulley may be.
These pulleys have a large bolt retaining them, which I presume that you found, then you have to use a puller to pull the pulley off. You must take care to put ZERO pressure on the threads with the puller.
