None of my power locks work nor do the interior lights come on. I have checked the bulbs and they are fine. I have gone through the fuses under the dash and in the engine compartment and all are fine. I have not checked the relays under the dash yet as I do not know how to test them. When the buttons are tried on the locks, the is no sound to indicate any effort on the part of the solenoid. I can manually lock them but the buttons are really stiff and hard to move. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Scott
None of the door switches work.

Best answer:

Answer by Ashlee
Is this from both sides of the jeep? If you can lock them with the passenger side switch then it is not a relay but the switch itself. Most relay’s in the jeep are interchangeable, at least some are on my Grand Cherokee.

I own a 1994 toyota supra. The battery keeps dying on it and I’ve asked about it on yahoo answers and so far people keep telling me that it could be my alternator or solenoid. How can I get these two checked out?

I drive a 1987 Volvo station wagon. A couple days ago maybe, I noticed the dashboard lights getting dimmer as I drove, and the indicator lights started to glow a little bit as I cruised. When I accelerated again, they went back out. Tonight, they are glowing stronger and they stopped going out with the acceleration. Is this battery or alternator?

Answer by tysdad62271
Your alternator is bad, be sure to charge your battery and have it tested as well.

I need replacement bolts for my alternator. The long bottom bolt and the top bolt that holds the tensioner. I need to know the size of these bolts.

Best answer:

Answer by skidmark_84
Don’t you have the old ones? Just check the size.

If you lost the old bolts and need new ones, it really doesn’t matter. Whatever bolts will fit in the holes and hold the thing in will work.

a solenoid transmission pack? how much is that? all other tests came back normal no other codes listed, just this one 0796. thanks

Answer by Eric F
the link http://highlanderclub.ru/files/manual/04/21acxt2c/cip0796.pdf
gives a good description of what your problem is.
As much as I don’t like going to a shop, this code.. requires you to goto a shop, a transmission shop would be best.
I’ll bet the valve body is plugged up with gook..

There are additives you can try to use to free the valve body and solenoids up, I honestly can not recommend you try them, however I would on my own vehicle.

The car battery was bought this year and is confirmed good. I was thinking of just buying a battery charger and just charging it everyday at my house and just drive short distances INSTEAD of buying a new alternator. Its a 1984 Volvo Diesel.

Question #2 Please answer this too…
If my battery died and I got a jump and it started but died after a few seconds its my alternator right? Is there anything else it could be?

Best answer:

Answer by ronscouch
It could be the alternator, that’s the most expensive possibility, but it could be a broken wire leading from your alternator to the battery, or anywhere in the electrical system really. You should take it in before just buying an alternator and get it checked with the ohm meter or diagnostic machine. If you are broke, and know a high school student, they might do it for you at the auto shop at the school.
