Try getting a boost to roll up the windows. If the battery volatage is too low little to nothing will work and the car can shut off while driving. This is usually from the alternator having problems and not providing the power necessary to keep the car running. If power to the battery does not help the issue then you can remove the trim around the base of the gear selector to gain access to the shift lock bypass. Its a hidden button that will allow the selector to move without power to the transmission to make towing the car possible.

nothing!

1. Open the rear hatch, and look down towards the bumper, in the direction of the tail light bulb needing replacement.
2. You should see the dark colored plastic trim piece, which is held in place by two small plastic body style philips head screws.
3. These wil only 'loosen' a little bit, you will need to slip a fingernail or some other slim item, underneath the heads of each of the screws, and pull back on them firmly by grasping the body of the screw, not the head (which is flimsy, and can crush if squeezed).
3. remove the plastic trim piece - it can be achieved by lifting out and towards you - set aside.
4. Using a 10mm socket or wrench, unscrew the upper and lower bolts holding the taillight assembly in place.
5. the taillight assembly is now loose - it can pulled rearwards, and will slide off of the small guide slots holding it in place.
6. The bulb is a twist lock style, underneath the tan cap- twist the cap counter-clockwise, and it will pop out. The bulb is a number 7440, for the running light/ brake light, and a 7443 for the turn signal. a 3757 will not fit through the cut out hole in the taillight assembly.
7. Re-assemble in reverse, making sure to check the function of the bulb PRIOR to re-assembly.
Good Luck.

replace the TPS (throttle position sensor ) or service the automatic with pan off ...check the shift solenoids

No it doesn't ! Vehicle won't start ? Are you assuming it doesn't have fuel or did you test with fuel pressure gauge ! May be a main relay or fuel pump relay etc... Is there spark ? Is there compression ? You can check fuel system wiring diagram at http://bbbind.com/free_tsb.html There are youtube videos checking fuel an spark etc...

Hi, Beeps or 'clicks'? Do the dash lights come on? Double-check the gear shift lever is FULLY in park or neutral. GL, Td

Under your dash by steering column,by your left knee, is a small 4" x4" box that has a small wire attached. On the end of the wire is a small button. Push the button with the ignition in the on position. It will reset the alarm system. That will stop your lights from flashing. Have a great day.

Fuse or relay blown for gauges.Pull the relay cover off and it will tell you which one

Bad water pump, thermostat, fan issue, collapsing hose, broken or missing shroud or air dam.

Not going to work with stock transmission.
