I have a 2003 Sedona and when I turn the key nothing happens at the starter. I have checked and have power at the starter. Anyone have any ideas? If its the starter does anyone know how to remove it?

I have a Buick Rendevous that will not start. Turn the key over and just clicks. Then the security light comes on and starts beeping. Radio goes blank. Any suggestions?

Filed under: Hydrogen, Legislation and Policy, USA Some might say $9 million is a drop in the zero-emission bucket when it comes to federal funding of hydrogen fuel-cell advancements, but it does beat a sharp stick in the eye. The US Department of Energy has announced a $9-million grant that will be directed towards speeding up hydrogen fuel-cell technology, which some view as the best of all worlds because it allows gas-tank-type mileage ranges for vehicles without the harmful local emissions (fuel-cell vehicles emit water vapor). Specifically, the grant will be earmarked for technologies that advance drivetrain technology for medium-duty trucks, cut costs for refueling components and speed up rooftop installations for hydrogen fuel-cell backup power systems. Toyota and Hyundai are among the automakers that plan to debut production fuel cell vehicles in the US by 2015. Earlier this month, Hyundai delivered its first 15 Hyundai ix35 Fuel Cell vehicles (which will be known as the Tucson Fuel Cell when it arrives in the US) to the city of Copenhagen. And earlier this year, Automotive News estimated that Toyota has brought down the per-vehicle cost for its fuel cell vehicles to between $50,000 and $100,000. Check out the DOE's press release below.Continue reading US DOE ready with $9m in grants for fuel-cell advances US DOE ready with $9m in grants for fuel-cell advances originally appeared on AutoblogGreen on Mon, 17 Jun 2013 15:58:00 EST.

Now thinking about doing the struts/shocks myself, but I'd really like some feedback on that and if I need special tools to compress the struts/shocks etc.. My skill level is advanced, but my patience isn't. lol I heard the cowl may have to come off to get the struts off. I want to order all new assemblies. I'm told the OEM struts are on there and for the shop to align the vehicle they'd need to unbolt the struts and while there they want to replace the OEM struts. When I replaced all new assemblies in my 95 Windstar I was told the alignment camber plates weren't necessary because I'd returned the setup to factory specs. Could that be the case here for the 2003 too? I don't want to mess with the sway bar. I'm told that is rubbing on something. I wanna let the shop deal with that, but is this part of replacing the struts.. and/or would I be in the convenience to do this while I do the struts? This is a project for my handicapped mother. The van is going to her.

I have a battery drain in our 2000 Windstar LX 3.8L that would kill the battery if left connected over night. The Battery and Alternator were replaced back in 05/2010 and have been working fine ever since. It all started a few week ago, as we were leaving for the weekend we moved the Windstar from "Spot A" to "Spot B" in the parking area in front of the house, so it was a quick start, reverse 10feet, move forward 10feet and shut off. Came back and went to move the van back to "Spot A" and battery was dead (only 2.5V), jump started the van and started right up, then let it run to charge battery. I did some errands thru the day and parked it overnight. Next day battery dead, but jump started right up again! With meter on Alt is putting about 14.5V. So started looking for other problems and realized I had 2 bulbs out on the High Mount Stop Light. So after replacing those the battery is still loosing charge if left connected. Now I have to keep unplugging the Neg battery terminal when the van sits for fear of running the battery down, battery stays at 12.75V unplugged. when I plug the neg terminal it starts strong and runs fine and charges good. Now I went to diagnose the Alt to see if it has an internal failure using the Chilton Manual procedure in Section 5 Chapter 10 but, the pictures don't match my unit. so I don't know if the tests are accurate! Key Off Engine Off I got... "B+" terminal at 12.5V with Key Off as manual indicates. Key On Engine Off I got... "A" terminal at 12V as manual indicates. "I" terminal at .5V to .3V when manual calls for 1V "B+" terminal at 12.5V as manual indicates.. Key On Engine On I got... "A" terminal at 14.5V as manual indicates. "I" terminal at 2.5V when manual calls for 13V to 14V "B+" terminal at 14.5 as manual indicates. So according to this test the "I" terminal on the Alt may be faulty... but I can't confirm since the picture on the manual is different to my Alt and the Alt on my van does not label this terminals.

I am trying to decide whether to stay with our 2007 TCH with 116,000 miles or trade. Only repair has been the water pump replaced at 61000. I think the struts and brakes might be next? I tend towards keeping the car and budgeting for repairs rather than trading. Any opinions?
