The light is on because there is a problem.

Think of the light as being pain, you would want to get your pain looked at, probably by a person with some training.

Let me tell you of a man and his donkey...

The man was a farmer and was looking at his profits from his farm and thought "I could make more money if the donkey was cheaper to keep"... So for the next week he fed the donkey only half of its normal food... The donkey still worked just as hard plowing the field.... The farmer thought about that and cut the donkey's food in half again... that week the donky continued to work just as hard... With that the farmer said heck I will stop feeding the donkey... Two days later the donkey died.

The farmer went to the donkey and started kicking and cursing the animal yelling "I taught you how to work without eating and you show your gratitude by dying!!!"

The car is your donkey, treat it well and it will serve you well treat it badly and it will repay you in kind.

My engine in my 2003 nissan sentra shut down while driving home.When i try starting the car it will catch but wont turn on and the brake light and oil light are stuck on.

hi
check the engine oil.
if there was no oil left in the engine then good chance of engine seizing.
do not carry on starting the engine as you will bend the valves.

94 chrysler concorde, fan blower stuck on high wont turn down or off. also gas guage and other dash guages quit working. car starts and runs okay

Do you have the check engine light on?
There are some relays (I think they are in the engine compartment) that could be check. It sounds like a relay problem.
If the check engine is on, it could be a sensor, and the computer is sending the wrong information. Have it check by a professional.

I have a brand new battery in my 2000 Honda Civic & the car will not start now. The battery was installed 2 days ago & the car started just fine & ran fine, but then I didn't drive it for 2...

Check the function of the alternator. Charge the battery with a battery charger or jump start the engine. While the engine is running use a voltmeter to check the voltage at the battery posts. Red to + and black to -. You should have between 13.5 − 16 volts. If you do not the alternator is bad or the drive belt is loose. If the alternator checks ok then something is on that is drawing power from the battery and running it down. Check under hood, trunk, glove box, and interior lights. Can also be a brake light switch causing the brake lights to stay on. In rare cases it can also be a stuck relay such as a power window relay. From you description I think you will find the alternator is ok and your problem is something is on and running the battery down.

1990 acura, when it gets hot outside, the check engine light comes on and wont let me start my car. Happens after about 12 hrs of sitting outside. Starts fine in the morning on my way to work, but then...

unfortunately anything could be causing your check engine light to come one. You'll actually need to have it towed to autozone or someplace like that to have the car scanned to determine what is causing the issue

1993 Dodge 1 ton desiel pickup stuck in Kansas with running light

The check engine light has nothing to do with the running lights on the vehicle. Chances are that the headlight switch has gone bad, good luck, Dont forget to rate.

Engine died while driving..

Hello Friend,
Pull out the spark pugs so, there is no longer compression. Put a wrench on the crankshaft pully. The engine will turn and the pistons will travel up and down. This is of course it the engine hasn't seized. If the engine turns its the starter. Simple.
