I have a 2004 quest that I have been haviung problems with. It started a few months ago where the radio would go on and off as driving. Power was on but audio went out. It was iintermittent so the dealer could not locate problem. Soon after that, my airbag light came on and now flashes constantly.. Also, my cruise control does not work. All of this is leading me to believe an electrical problem... Any ideas on what all of these have in common???

I requested the same problems to my villager,99.
After I ran it more than five miles when the engine was cold, it started hesitated, idle dropped, and died on signal light.
I had 3 mechanics to work on my vehicle, and replaced fuel pump, fuel gasket, spark plug, distributor cap and rotor. Also, the intake manifold was clean.
I met someone last week who worked on his 94 villager and recommended to replace the modual on the distributor.
I wish to have your opinion soon.
 
Kindly Regards,
 
Peter

I used to have a '91 Ford Escort whose radio was dead for 3 years. Once I couldn't start my car and changed the ignition lock cylinder, the radio was back to live. You may have similar cause.

Check your ECM. It's located under the hood on the passenger side jsut underneath the plastic sill. THis model year has issues with the ECM rusting. It's not well protected from the rain and can rust out.

My battery was dead we recharged it and now the auto windows and door locks don't work. We checked the fuse and took the cables off the battery for a few hours and still don't work. Is there a reset button ?

You can test a TPS with a multimeter or with a scanner in datastream mode. As you move the TPS you should notice the resistance changing on your meter.
