the radiator was replaced and the fluids are still evaporating or leaking out somehow. what other options could be wrong with the car overheating?
It sends a power to the starter relay/solenoid to engauge the starter. Know that the ignition switch is not what you put the key in and turn. That is the lock assembly. The ignition switch is located lower down on the steering column.
A closed current
Hook your ingition power wire from the ingition harness to your head light switch (useally Green in color on GM) and it will solve your problem
From Lexus Web site: This procedure should be used to reset the light when the maintenance has been performed:1. Turn ignition switch to the ON position.2. Set the Odometer / Trip Display to the ODO mode3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.4. Depress and HOLD the Trip Meter RESET button while turning the ignition switch to the ON position.5. The Service Maintenance Reminder Light will: a. Illuminate solidly for 3 seconds. b. Blink for 2 seconds. c. Illuminate solidly for 1 second. d. Turn off.6. Release the Trip Meter RESET button.7. Turn the ignition to the OFF position.8. Turn the ignition to the ON position, and confirm that the Service Maintenance Reminder Light goes out.NOTE: If the light continues blinking in step 5a, turn the ignition off, and repeat the procedure from step 1.ignition off, and repeat the procedure from step 1. Depending on the model, this may not work. Your maintenance light is a reminder for every 5000 mile to at minimum have your oil and filter changed.
is the cutoff switch a normally open or normally closed switch ? If it a normally closed switch as it should be then the switch will need to activate with the ignition in order to supply fuel. There could be a problem with the fuel cutoff relay or a fuse. Also if you are using a non factory key then this might also happen.
Check the door switches first. Then make sure the light isn't turned on either at the bulb or at the dashboard switch. Many vehicles eventually turn off the dome light, even if it's turned on by the driver, to save the battery.Note: If the door switch contact failed, it would fail in an "open" state, and the light would not come on when the door opened. If the door switch was jumpered (bypassed), or the plunger on the switch is not making contact with the door, the light would stay on when the ignition is on and then time out after the ignition is turned off. But, The most common mistake is to accidentally leave the headlight switch in the manual dome mode (having the knob fully rotated to the left, or, counterclockwise), then the light stays on while driving and will time out after the ignition is turned off to prevent the battery from running fully down.
Current flows through a wire when a light switch is turned on.
It's possible that you have a bad ignition switch. Normally, those lights won't turn on unless the ignition is turned to the "Run" position. A bad switch may be allowing current to flow through one or more contacts when it's not supposed to.
Yes, the ignition switch must be in the ignition position -not- the accessory position.
It is very possibly the ignition switch but there are certainly other possibilities as well. In any case, you'll need to learn some electrical diagnostic skills. The ignition switch appears faulty.
When a light switched is turned on the circuit is usually closed.
You may have activated security system if theft light flashing when key is turned, needs reset.
Either the switch is broken or it doesn't go to that light.
There is a switch on the end cap of the light switch stalk. Pull this cap straigt out after the lights are turned on only. There should be a small light that comes on in the upper right corner of the instrument panel. Turn the driving lights off by pushing in on the end cap that you pulled out. Also, if you turn the ignition off before turning off your lights, the headlights will remain on for about 30 seconds or so after the light switch is turned to the off position.
When the ignition is turned on, battery voltage passes down the wire to the alternator to 'excite' the alternator when the engine starts. When the engine starts and the alternator generates a voltage, the light is extinguised by the charging voltage cancelling out the battery voltage coming down the wire. If and when the alternator completetly fails the the light will come back on as there is no sancelling voltage. if the alternator produces a voltage lower than the voltage from the ignition switch then the battery light will glow.
I got it. It was the brake light switch. No answers need now, thanks.
Brake Light switch works without the ignition on. unplug the brake pedal switch and check to see if the brake lights are still on..switch could be defective
