Best way to remove a twist off GM brake booster on a 2006 SS impala

I have a crow-footed prybar that I can hook the master cylinder studs and leverage it to turn, but they do make a special tool that slides over the studs and has a 3/4" nut for a socket and break-over bar to accomplish the same thing.

How to stop traction control from turning itself on?

The traction control uses the braking system to work. If you have repaired the tyre the issue could be with a sensor for the traction control system itself. Do you have any warning lights on the dashboard? Have you had the vehicle plugged into an OBD2 Diagnostic Scanner? This could give Trouble Codes as clues to any possibly faulty sensors causing the issue. If you have to pay for this service ask at 4 or 5 different places as prices can be VERY different!

Is it true that a bad fuel pump can cause faulty codes

The pump itself does not cause codes. A bad fuel pump will alter the fuel to air mixture going to the engine and this is what will generate the fault codes.

Ford can't fix my 2009 ford focus SE because the part is not available. They said it's the smart junction box

That's the Achilles heel of modern cars. Shops don't want to take on a repair that likely will exceed the value of the car and then the owner just walks away after the shop has a couple grand into it and it still doesnt work or it keeps comming back ever other week.

If there's a vocational school near by that teaches automotive repair, they might use it as a case study. But you'll still need to provide a functional SJB. Used from eVendors $75-100 or you can send your unit to be repaired for $250-$300.

2001 Nissan Navara 2.7. The dash, windows and indicators not working after flat battery?

Question edited for clarity,, translated to written English and spelling corrected or 'indicators' After you replaced the battery, did you reset the security and immobilizer? The items you have problems with are all functions of the Body Control Module which is also the functions of security. Although it it is a stretch, that is the most likely as long as you have checked every fuse with a test meter that it is assigned those functions. You can do the the fuse testing very easily and quickly using the test points on the top of every blade fuse. Ultimately, you may need an auto electrician. https://www.google.com/search?q=auto+electrician+near+me

I have a 2007 uplander and when tempratures drop below freezing lights will start flashing without the key in the ignition switch

potential causes and steps to address this issue: Electrical Modules Issues: The flashing lights could be related to issues with the vehicle's electrical modules. These modules control various functions, including lighting. To diagnose this, I recommend seeking assistance from an auto-electrician who has access to a professional-grade scan tool computer. They can collect data from each module and identify which ones are causing the issue. Common culprits might include the Engine Control Module (ECM) and the Body Control Module (BCM). Security System Reset: Sometimes, disconnecting the battery can cause the vehicle's security system to lose its memory. This might lead to unexpected behavior. To reset the system, follow these steps: Maintain power to the car: When changing the battery, use a charger or connect wires to the old battery to prevent power loss. Refer to the reset procedure: You can find detailed instructions in this link or by searching for "2007 Chevy Uplander security reset" online. Wiring Schematics and Ignition Switch: If the issue persists, consider checking the wiring schematic for the ignition switch, steering column, and dashboard. Understanding the electrical connections can help pinpoint the problem. You can find wiring diagrams for the instrument panel here and additional diagrams here.

2012 Ford Ranger 6 speed manual has been fixed from limp mode and recently on highway it has come back!! 3 grand later I just don't no what to do now??

Question edited for clarity and into written English. Yes you were taken advantage of. As my old dad used to say "they saw you coming". Better to have a mature man take your vehicle for service. Fuel pumps either work or they don't. You test them for pressure. Very unlikely the Glow plugs were anything to do with anything as they only aid starting by heating the diesel fuel when the engine is cold. Changing the head gasket is pretty laughable. Did they do a pressure test, and a leak down test? That is how you test. You can also test coolant for combustion fumes. You needed an auto electrician in the first place, not someone guessing with your money. Limp Mode only becomes active if a sensor fails and that sensor failing could cause catastrophic failure to the engine with it not working. You need an auto electrician with a professional grade scan tool computer. They can clear the code, take your car on the highway and record EXACTLY what happens when the truck goes into Limp Mode. https://www.google.com/search?q=auto+electrician+near+me ..

2001 Isuzu KB280 Switch the ignition on, Deactivate the immobilizer and start the car. The starter makes one click, all power gone. Dash, immobilizer and everything is dead. After 3 minutes it resets

Have you had it plugged into an OBD scanner to check it isn't a sensor causing the issue? Sometimes something else can trigger a "No Start" issue like a bad sensor or a faulty immobiliser. The two most likely reasons for the starter to do that is - 1. a weak or flat battery or - 2. A bad starter motor. Check the battery is fully charged, (somewhere around 12.6 to 13.2 volts). If the battery is good it is more likely to be the starter motor. On a 2001 model it mght be the original factory starter. They do wear out and fail especially on high mileage or high compression engines like diesels. That 'Click' noise is probably the Solenoid switch on the starter working but the motor isn't turning like it should.
