Usually red light blinking on furnace Means there is a problem with a sensor. Is this a high efficiency furnace gas?
If the furnace blower motor comes on and blows cold air obviously there is no flame does the flame Come on at the beginning and then goes out within a few seconds? If so you may have a flame sensor that needs cleaning or you could have an igniter that is bad be careful with the nighters ( The ones that glow Orange) they are very sensitive to breaking. If the flame goes out after a few seconds try cleaning the flame sensor that will be a small metal rod about a 8th of an inch in diameter and probably about 3" long and it will sit Right in the flame of the furnace. If you find it take some very fine steel wool or a scotch brite pad and rub up-and-down on that small steel rod for 15 to 20 seconds then try the furnace again.

SOURCE: check engine light blinking and a sound like air coming from the engine area

I've had the same problem with my 1999 Mazda Protege, 1.6L, Automatic.

The problem was a damaged spark plug, resulting in a loss of compression in one of the cylinders.

Solution: replace all spark plugs and make sure wires are in good condition. I recommend NGK Platinum.

SOURCE: a/c light blinks

The only problem with your air conditioning light blinking in the 4runner is a bad relay. Toyota has updated the relay to part #90987-02028. Call your local Toyota dealership for this relay. You can buy it at the parts counter. It is about $65. It takes 1 minute to replace. This is the first thing you should do to troubleshoot the AC blinking light. I had the exact same problem with my 2003 4runner and this relay resolved my issue. This same procedure is for the Camry and other Toyota models with the same blinking AC light, but the relay part number might differ.

SOURCE: 1995 Ford Taurus Sho 3.2 check engine light blink

Code 33 is EGR opening not detected, this is caused by a plugged EGR exhaust passage in the upper intake manifold, this is a common SHO engine fault, the valve works but the engine does nothing that the computer can sense, since no gas flows, to verify this is the problem open the egr at idle, the engine should almost die, if nothing happens or only a tiny change in idle speed or quality the passages are plugged, if it does stall or get real rough the egr position sensor (usual code for sensor is 32) may be faulty or the valve is sticking. I was a ford dealer tech for 30 years and did quite a few of these, there is a TSB (technical service bulletin) about this problem

Do you have an alarm system installed? These sound like the alarm indicator lights. They are supposed to deter theft and break ins.

Key card lock to my hotel door will blink green then red and not unlock the door when i put the key card in. What is the problem/

The green blink is it registering the card. Good news is you are putting it in the correct way. The red means the card is either not for that room (double check your room number) or has lost its encoding. Likely if you booked an extra unexpected day or the card came close to something magnetic erasing the data.

Easy fix is to go to the front desk with your I.D. or name and room number and they will fix the card for you.

No heat or air to 2nd or 3rd row of 2007 Chrysler pacifica

Dear An,
The vents that direct the air to certain areas of the cars or trucks are plastic, and over time, will warp, or stick, or break.
This applies to all cars & trucks.
A good rule of thumb is, 10 years of working correctly.
If you choose to fix this, or have it fixed, start with the under dash unit, in a ********* plastic box.
Open that up and see if everything is working properly.
Then go to the tubes or pipes that send the heat or cool to the rear.
This may requires taking the seats and the carpets out to access those tubes or pipes.
Understand a dealer may charge you many hundreds of dollars, or even a few thousand to do this, because it is "labor intensive".
God bless your efforts.

Where do I find the wires that I apprently need to cross to get the check engine light to flash in order to get the codes?

Remove the kick panel just beside the left foot rest on the driver's side.
2) Locate blue wires.
3) Locate black connector. Hold it notch up.
4) With ignition off, insert one of the wires into top row, 2nd pin from left.
5) Turn key to on position, but do not start the car.
6) Watch blinky check engine light on dashboard. Count blinks. Long blinks = 10, Short blinks = 1.
7) Keep watching blinky light until you get mesmorized.


To clear codes (after problem has been resolved):
1) With engine off, stick the blue wires to 1st and 2nd pin in the top row counting from left on the

black connector, with notch facing up.
2) Start car. Shut off car. Remove pins.
3) Read codes to make sure they are clear. No codes = steady blinks at 1/4 second intervals. yhis is for the 94, 92 should be the same. have a good day !!

Air bag light blinking

Every blink is a number. The code is composed of two numbers. Read the code and check what is wrong on error table code. By example at http://autorepair.about.com/library/images/bl797lib.htm, or you can google for the codes of the SRS. After you know what is wrong it gonna be easy to fix it (I didnt said cheap).

Hot air blowing with climate control off.

you may have an air mix motor problem or a mode control motor problem. there is a test you can do that may help: 1. turn the ignition switch on. 2. turn the fan switch off. 3. press the recirc control button to select recirc (recirc indicator light comes on.) 4. press and hold the recirc button to select fresh (recirc indicator goes off). Continue to hold the the button down until the recirc indicator comes on for two seconds and then goes off. If the system is okay, the recirc indicator will stay off. If there is a problem, the recirc indicator blinks a code to indicate a fault. 1 blink=air mix control motor/circuit fault. 2 blinks= mode control motor/circuit fault. 3 blinks= evaporator temp sensor circuit fault. In case of multiple problems, the recirc indicator will only blink the code with the least number. write back if this test shows a code and we'll go from there.
