First question is: Is the battery really fine? Turn on the headlights and see if they stay on while trying to crank the engine.

If they stay on on then yes, the batttery is fine and the problem is likely your starter solenoid.

if not, then you may have a dead cell or two in the battery that provide enough power to light up your interior and run accessories, but cannot turn the engine over. Hope this helps you find the issue. Cliff

Replace the Battery and or clean the battery post.

You will need to buy a new flasher unit from your dealer...this usuall under the dash board and should be visible from the bottom on drivers side.

Fuel injected engines do not have a carburetor. They use a throttle body and one or more injectors plus other sensors and controls to replace the need for a carb.

Are you asking about outside Air temp. or Radiator Engine temp etc

hello you will have to look on the drivers side of the engine and it will look like a small round button type thing sticking out of the engine with a wire going to it(outer area has a hex shape to it for a wrench to go onto) it my also have a cover on it so look closely until you find it.use a pan of some sort to catch the coolant when you remove it good luck

You are describing the classic symptoms of a blown head gasket from the cylinder into the water jacket. This causes loss of compression in the affected cylinder and also injects hot gases into the cooling jacket resulting in overpressure and overheating of the coolant. Perform a compression check of all cylinders and if any are appreciably lower than the others, you are looking at some major engine work.

if no hr/min button, seek/scan is usually hr/min

It may have come off the arm that cycles the arm back and forth. You would have to remove the vent screen around the wipers. Once inside check the arm. Usually, it just pops on but, check to see how it is connected. You may find a replacement if you need one online or at a junk yard. The dealer will try and sell you both, which is not necessary and will increase your replacement cost many fold

also if the window has been sticking it can be a broken runner on the window mechanism, its like a plastic wheel, if one brakes the window will lock as it thinks that there is an object in the way.

Did you replace the thermostat as well? That could be your problem. Also make sure your radiator and reservoir are full.

You need to use a bearing press to get it out and the new one in. You can try to hammer it out with a piece of pipe if you can catch onto the lip. Sometimes wheel bearings get very stuck and if it scores or damages the drum on the way out you may need to get a new drum. If you don't have the tools you might be able to rent or borrow a press from a shop or auto parts store. If you take it to a brake shop and have them press out the bearing and put in the new one it shouldn't cost that much.

I believe there is a color dye that most any auto supply shops have that should make it easier to see.

First, why not taking it back, you paid for nothing, this is not right, they should give your money back.Check the fuse again, to see what is happening. Do you have lights at the front?

Try rotating and balancing your tires.

Thermostat, cooling fan or head gasket. I need more info.

Stop using it & have a shop work on finding the problem

I'd use a gage and check proper fuel pressure. With intermittent issues, you have to test when problem is ongoing. Some possibilities, fuel pump--fuel injector leak-- fuel line has a leak.
