It's probably the wheel bearings

get the codes first ,as it can be your linkages under the car that is loose from your gear-stick to your gearbox.or it can just be a need for a fluid change .

this should help you

As you have not stated which engine you want the settings for, here is the information for both the 2.9D CRDI and the 2.5 GV6 engine.

Jack up vehicle and secure it on a jack stand. Remove the tire,brake caliper,pads and rotor. Remove the large spindle nut on the end of the axle and push the axle through the bearing. Then remove the bolts from the strut where it attaches to the steering knuckle. Pull the axle out of the bearing and the using a pry bar, pop the axle out of the transmission. Install in reverse order of procedure.

Likely just a blown fuse, or a wire come loose.

Check your coolant level before you start your car if full cold and when in idle you can go on to the next thing to check, possible plugged heater core. With van engine cold remove heater hoses from firewall carefully so you don't loose too much fluid out the hose. Now get a garden hose and run water back and forth through the heater core inlet and exit, watch for discoloration and possible debris, you want to see a good water flow here. Replace heater hoses, clamps, and any lost fluid. start and warm as you would normally. How many miles are on your Sedona? Next thing on your list could be your thermostat needs replaced. If this hasn't resolved your problem you will move on to the water pump. Also check your coolant tank! It may look good from the outside but pull the cap off and make sure the little return hose is attached to the cap, add a small hose clamp if necessary. The hose on my 02 Sedona got so hot it swelled up and fell off leaving no way for the engine to replenish the vital coolant when the engine cooled down. THIS $1.00 FIX CAN SAVE YOUR ENGINE!!! Good luck

It sounds like a leak in the water jacket of your motor, it could be just a head gasket if you're lucky. Also check for a leak in the coolant pipes them selves usualy at the connections.

Starter needs 9.5 volts minimum but dash lights will light with far less. Is the engine turning over or totally dead. If dead battery is bad or discharged.

If it has an electric fan it is going on to cool the anti freeze even though car is off. Residual heat has to be removed.

The computer is in the limp in mode. Do a diagnostic inspection to see what trouble codes appear.

Yes i have worked on these vehicles but never come across this before ,check the glow plugs and the relay to check their all working which i suspect that either the relay/timer is faulty or all 4 glow plugs are gone ,failing which you may need to return the vehicle to the dealer to have the computer re-flashed but i suspect a faulty timer relay or on a 2003 vehicle all four glow plugs are burnt out ,not difficult to change though as their on the top of the engine

replace all the motor mounts especially the one on the bar from the motor to the firewall ( torque reaction bar)

get this checked at a garage as it can be worn bushes .

It's in the dash. Put key in the ignition and open the door. Follow the sound.
