| I have had several electrical problems with this vehicle. the abs sensor has been replaced, fuses are continuosly blowing, several electrical wires have been replaced in the shift column, the turn signal switch had to be replaced because it was corroded, the battery has been replaced 4 times. also the low coolant light flashes intermitently even though the radiator and tank are full. he abs light has been on for at least a year and the mechanic is unable to find the cause. brakes are in working order and all sensors are good. now i am having difficulty starting on hot days, the starter clicks but the engine will not start, after several tries it will then start( about 5 tries), and today i seem to be having problems with the transmission. while entering an intersection from a stop sign i lost power. the engine was running at a top of 2rpm's and could not get over 10 miles per hour. the mechanic still need to give a diagnosis on this latest problem but siad it may be a circuit problem since touching the underhood driver side circuit box caused the car to stall and restart. | |||
