perhaps i missed something here... lowbeams and daytime lights are about the same.... be that as it may... the merely obvious thing is that the low beams are burnt out.... next thing would be that the relay for the day time lights could be defective... it's often mounted on the firewall.

SOURCE: 2000 olds sillouette, headlights on, no brake/turn signal light

i would chk. break light switch. should be under dash above break pedel arm. emergency flashers will be on its own fuse, turn signals should have own fuse. as far as interior lights surging that could be ground or alt. chk. battery cables make sure clean and tight. not good idea unhooking bat. cable when running, one spark or surge to computer could burn up computer. besides that realy won't tell you anything if a diod is bad in alt. it may not show up until you tax the system. its best to take it someware like autozone, or any major auto parts store and have it chk.

SOURCE: Daytime running lights do not come on

Hiya...
When this happens, it means one or two of the halogen headlight bulb(s) has been burnt-out.
Do this quick and easy self-test:
Turn on the headlight switch to LOW and see if you see one (or none) turns on...you'll know one or two lightbulb(s) need to be replaced....this is why the green headlight logo flashed to tell you that a bulb has just burnt-out.
You'll need to remove the 4 black plastic clips that holds the top grille bracket frame onto the top metal frame that's facing the top radiator area.
If you know which headlight's bulb need replacing, just remove the 3 bolts...two are on top and one is by the side (close to radiator area)
Then you pull the grille toward you gently to allow your hand to access behind the grille and headlight area to reach the white socket that's connected to the headlight bulb.
This requires some patient as it's a tight area for your fingers to wiggle the socket off.
When the new lightbulb is installed, the green headlight logo will appear in the instrument panel when you start the engine.
That'll help!

SOURCE: engine starts, runs (3 sec.), dies

Sounds like your immobilizer is activating. Try another key or you need to take it to a vw dealer for diag and adaptation.

SOURCE: 2000 silverado The daytime running lights were not

check to see if something is blocking the daylight sensor on the dash. If it is not being blocked check to see if the relay for the automatic lights is stuck. If any of these issues are happening then the headlights would be on switching off the daytime running lights

How do I reset the anti theft system on a 2000 V-6 3

this? SecuriLock(tm) <<<you have this.>?

Tell what it does wrong first. or the good bad, ford ranger 2000
engine cranks fast no start ( lost 2nd Securilock key?)
or will not crank at all (silent ) clicks or chatters
IMMO lamp acts wrong, per the lost users GUIDE.
doors fail,
fob buttons fail (battery coin inside dead)
what?

no start by SECURILOCK

quote your free uses guide at ford.com
Your vehicle's engine can only be started with
the two special SecuriLockyelectronically coded keys provided with
your vehicle.
and

Theft indicator
The theft indicator on the instrument cluster will operate as follows:
•When the ignition is OFF, the theft indicator will flash briefly every
two seconds to indicate the SecuriLockysystem is protecting your
vehicle.
•When the ignition is turned to RUN or START, the theft indicator will
light for three seconds and then go out. If the theft indicator stays on
for an extended period of time or flashes rapidly, have the system
serviced by your dealership or a qualified technician.
The Theft indicator is controlled by theSecuriLockysystem.During
the 30 second prearm state, it is normal to see the theft indicator pulse brighter behind the constant glow.

see the dash lamp do this ?

Reset change oil light on a 2001 Saturn l300

I don't know the year of the vehicle so I'll give you 2 possible ways to reset it.

2004-2005

Turn the ignition to run (one position before starting engine).
Immediately after Step 1 press and release the gas pedal 3 times within 5 seconds. If the Change Engine Oil light is flashing, the system is reset. The light will flash for up to 30 seconds or until the ignition is turned off. If the light comes on again and stays on for 30 seconds at the next engine start, it did not reset. You will need to reset the system again.
Turn the ignition off and then start the engine to verify the indicator has been reset.





Turn the key to run, but don't start the car. Open up the underhood fuse box (move the coolant line out of the clips for easier access). In the fuse box is a button labeled "OIL-R". Hold it down for five seconds. The "change oil soon" light should flash for about 30 seconds or so. That means it's reset.

2000 saturn sl1 it start and die and you got to the key off and back on and it start and die

This sounds like a broken or failing antitheft security system. Gm vehicles are known for this problem. Look for a light on the dash when this happens. It will say SECURITY, ANTITHEFT, or look like a car with a padlock thru it. When this system fails, the car will run for 5 seconds or less and then shut off, thinking that it is being stolen. This link explains this problem.

Car starts and runs. Once it's warmed up, the engine shuts off tried to start it again motor turns over but will not start. Wait a couple of hours then the motor will start again and then will shut off...

Wouldn't think sensor or computer problem , more likely an ignition module . When it dies pull a plug wire an check for spark ,i think you will find no spark . Just from my 30 years of diagnosing GM vehicle's this has been the #1 cause of a start an run till warm an dies an wait 20 min . to an hour an it starts again problem. But without testing to know for sure that would be a guess . Having a qualified an certified repair technician diagnose the problem is always the best idea.
