There are a few things that can make that happen but usually all you need to do is make sure the emergency brake cable isn't frozen in the "on" position, then take the brakes apart, clean them up making sure nothing is rusted or binding and put them back together. Good time to replace the linings if they are worn but if not, it's not an issue. I've seen a few that even after being removed and carefully examined showed no real reason for not working but after doing what I said, they were fine.
One thing though....brake fluid is hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the atmosphere) so it is a good idea to bleed them or at the very least, siphon out the master cylinder and re-fill it with fresh fluid to prevent future problems..

If you're sure the speaker(s) are OK, your problem may be a bad output stage of the car's radio.

I have found the wiring diagrams online to be unreliable -- they sometimes are listed under the wrong model or year, and have often caused me a lot of frustration and confusion. It is possible that you can get one, but for the sake of reliability you should probably pick up a Haynes manual for your truck - - it will have all of the diagrams you are looking for, as well as many other useful bits of information for repairing your truck. You might have more luck finding the diagram than I ever did ... but I still recommend picking up a Haynes manual for your future reference -- at under $30 US it can save you thousands in mechanic costs (if you have the time and tools to do your own repairs). These manuals are available at most auto-parts stores and larger bookstore chains.
If you are unable to find the Haynes manual for your truck, or just have your mind set on getting one online, you should include a bit more information to assist with your search:
1. Make, Model and year of your truck (which is here) 2. Engine size / type (is it a diesel, turbo-diesel, hemi, standard 5.7 L gasoline engine?) 3. Are there any engine or other upgrades that could affect the wiring? 4. Is it your entire wiring harness that needs replacing, or just the fuel gauge wiring? 5. Does the truck have an automatic or a manual transmission? (this can affect the wiring harness style and connections). 6. Do you know why the wiring burned out in the first place? (so you can possibly avoid the same issue in the future by changing where the wires sit when connected is possible)
I wish you the best of luck ... if you can't find the Haynes manual, please reply with the above information and I will do my best to help you find the appropriate wiring diagrams for your truck.

Sounds like a timing problem it could a worn out timing chain.

Hello absoluteterm: My name is Roger and I will help you. Since you did not supply year,make and model of your vehicle all I can answer is generic. Yes you should have a fuel pump relay and a fuse. I can give a more in depth answer with the above information and also engine size. Should You need further help please just ask. Please rate the answer. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

You can check the compression and if it OK then it may be a plugged fuel filter or bad electric fuel pump. The pump is in the gas tank.

REPLACING IT

check ingnition fuse in fuse box

Two, one in each tank.

Excessive wear on clutches is usually from alot of heavy hauling, pulling heavy trailers. 40,000 miles is real excessive. If you can, I would take the access cover off the bottom of the bell housing and check to see if the pressure plate bolts aren't backing out. When the clutch was replaced they should have (or I would have ) used a thread lock on these bolts. There is always a lot of vibration in this area, and I have seen these bolts back out, on manual and automatic transmissions.

Need more info for exact answer but you may find the info at most of the major autopart store websites under the repair section. They have free diagrams of fuse and relay blocks

Depending how old your oil it the first thing I would do is change the oil and put some transmedic into it. The service engine light is on becasue the ECM has detected that there's a problem. When the oil gets dirty and the valve body get's varnished the valves start to stick and make the tranny act weird. If you're really adventurous you could pull the valve body and clean it up reall good with clean solvent and finish it with hot water. Lube it up again with clean transmission fluid and put it back on. Might get lucky. Otherwize it's rebuild time.

get a free diagram printed out for you free of charge at most any auto parts store

Coudl looking in autozone.com (free register).

Fully press and release the accelerator pedal three times within five seconds. I think that's for all light resets.

maby the overdrive disk is burnt out

sounds like a typical pneumatic door problem ...perhaps a vac. leak to the drivers side a/c door (most likely) listen for any vacumn hissing sounds on that side....or a hose duct loose/leaking which i doubt.

If you have ac or not the motor is easily accessed by working under the hood. remover the wire connector and then the mounting screws. Pull the motor out and pull the fan off after removing the nut off the fans shaft.. Install the fan on the new motor and reinstall

I have a 03 just take the two screws out underneath the columm and it will pop apart there is two tiny tiny wires comming down from the shifter there probably broke
good luck
