Confirmed the customer's complaint and found the brake lights were inoperative. Performed an inspection of the brake light fuse, wiring, and connections, but found no faults. Performed an inspection of the brake light bulbs, and found no faults. Used a multi-meter, checked for continuity across the brake light switch contacts with the brake pedal depressed, and found there was no continuity, which indicated the brake light switch was faulty.
REMOVE AND REPLACE DEFECTIVE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. AFTER INSTALLATION, VERIFY THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE AND TURN OFF PROPERLY, AND CONFIRM THAT THE SWITCH IS FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY WITHIN THE VEHICLE’S ELECTRICAL AND SAFETY SYSTEMS.

BRAKE COMPONENT INSPECTION – Examine brake pads, rotors, and calipers for wear or damage. Check brake fluid
REMOVED AND REPLACED THE ENGINE AIR FILTER. THE OLD FILTER WAS DIRTY AND CLOGGED, WHICH CAN RESTRICT AIRFLOW TO THE ENGINE AND AFFECT PERFORMANCE, FUEL EFFICIENCY, AND EMISSIONS. INSTALLED A NEW FILTER TO HELP ENSURE OPTIMAL AIRFLOW, IMPROVE ENGINE EFFICIENCY, AND MAINTAIN PROPER COMBUSTION.
Confirmed the customer's complaint and found the blower motor was inoperative. Switched the HVAC blower motor speed from low to high, used a multi-meter to check for power and ground at the HVAC blower motor connector and found power and ground were not present. Inspected the HVAC blower motor fuse, wiring and connections but found no faults. Used the multi-meter to measure the resistance at the HVAC blower motor resistor module and found the measured resistance was out of limits, which indicated the HVAC blower motor resistor module was faulty. Used a set of fused jumper wires to apply power and ground to the HVAC blower motor and found the motor was inoperative, which verified the HVAC blower motor was faulty.
REMOVE ALL NECESSARY COMPONENTS TO GAIN FULL ACCESS TO THE BLOWER MOTOR AND BLOWER MOTOR REGULATOR, INCLUDING ANY UNDERDASH PANELS, COVERS, OR WIRING CONNECTORS THAT MAY BE IN THE WAY. CAREFULLY DISCONNECT ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AND MOUNTING HARDWARE SECURING THE EXISTING BLOWER MOTOR AND REGULATOR. REMOVE THE OLD UNITS AND INSTALL NEW BLOWER MOTOR AND REGULATOR, ENSURING PROPER ALIGNMENT AND CONNECTION OF ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. AT THE SAME TIME, REMOVE AND REPLACE THE CABIN AIR FILTER TO ENSURE CLEAN AIRFLOW THROUGH THE VEHICLE’S VENTILATION SYSTEM. REASSEMBLE ALL REMOVED PARTS AND MAKE ANY NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS TO ENSURE A PROPER FIT. ONCE INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE, TEST SYSTEM FUNCTION AT ALL FAN SPEEDS TO CONFIRM SMOOTH OPERATION AND RESTORE FULL CLIMATE CONTROL FUNCTIONALITY.

Inspected the battery connectors and found that one of the clamps was loose. Replaced the clamp and retested the charging system. Upon testing, we found that the alternator is overcharging at 15.4 volts (normal range: 13–14 volts). Based on these findings, we determined that the alternator is defective and should be replaced under warranty.
Removed and replaced the defective alternator under warranty. Performed a charging system test after installation to ensure proper operation and voltage output.
REMOVED NECESSARY COMPONENTS TO GAIN ACCESS TO ALL CYLINDERS. REMOVED AND REPLACED ALL SIX SPARK PLUGS, AS WELL AS THE THREE IGNITION COILS LOCATED BENEATH THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THESE THREE COILS WERE REPLACED PROACTIVELY TO AVOID HAVING TO REMOVE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AGAIN IN THE FUTURE IN THE EVENT OF A MISFIRE. THE REMAINING THREE IGNITION COILS, WHICH ARE EASILY ACCESSIBLE, WERE LEFT IN PLACE, AS THEY CAN BE REPLACED WITHOUT MAJOR DISASSEMBLY IF THEY FAIL LATER. REASSEMBLED ALL REMOVED COMPONENTS, MADE ALL NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS, AND TESTED ALL AFFECTED AREAS TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION.

DURING THE DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE, WE FOUND THAT THERE WAS NO POWER BEING SUPPLIED TO THE A/C COMPRESSOR. WE PERFORMED A THOROUGH INSPECTION OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, INCLUDING ALL RELATED WIRING HARNESSES, ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS, FUSES, AND RELAYS. THROUGH THIS PROCESS, WE DISCOVERED A SECTION OF THE WIRING HARNESS THAT HAD BEEN DAMAGED AND SHORTED OUT, WHICH WAS PREVENTING PROPER VOLTAGE FROM REACHING THE A/C COMPRESSOR. WE REPAIRED THE DAMAGED PORTION OF THE HARNESS USING THE FACTORY WIRING DIAGRAM TO ACCURATELY TRACE AND IDENTIFY EACH WIRE'S ROUTING AND FUNCTION. ONCE THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETED, WE REASSEMBLED ALL PREVIOUSLY REMOVED COMPONENTS, SECURED THE HARNESS, AND RETESTED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. AFTER VERIFICATION, WE CONFIRMED THAT POWER IS NOW BEING PROPERLY DELIVERED TO THE A/C COMPRESSOR, INDICATING THAT THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY RESOLVED. FURTHER TESTING OF THE A/C SYSTEM CAN NOW BE PERFORMED TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR.
CONTINUED OUR DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE TO IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE A/C SYSTEM LEAK. WE BEGAN BY PRESSURIZING THE A/C SYSTEM WITH NITROGEN TO TEST FOR LEAKS AND OBSERVED THAT THE SYSTEM WAS UNABLE TO HOLD PRESSURE, CONFIRMING THE PRESENCE OF A SIGNIFICANT LEAK. WE THEN PERFORMED A DETAILED INSPECTION OF ALL MAJOR A/C COMPONENTS, INCLUDING LINES, FITTINGS, CONDENSER, EVAPORATOR, COMPRESSOR, AND VARIOUS CONNECTION POINTS. DURING THE INSPECTION, WE DISCOVERED OBVIOUS SIGNS OF REFRIGERANT LEAKAGE COMING FROM THE AREA AROUND THE A/C PRESSURE SWITCH, INCLUDING RESIDUAL DYE AND OIL TRACES. THIS INDICATES THAT THE A/C PRESSURE SWITCH IS THE LIKELY SOURCE OF THE LEAK. WE WILL RECOMMEND REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE COMPONENT, FOLLOWED BY A SYSTEM EVACUATION, RECHARGE, AND FINAL LEAK TEST TO ENSURE FULL FUNCTIONALITY AND RELIABILITY OF THE A/C SYSTEM.
REMOVE ALL NECESSARY COMPONENTS TO GAIN PROPER ACCESS TO THE A/C PRESSURE SWITCH. SAFELY DISCHARGE ANY REMAINING REFRIGERANT FROM THE SYSTEM TO PREVENT DAMAGE OR INJURY. CAREFULLY REMOVE THE DEFECTIVE A/C PRESSURE SWITCH AND INSPECT THE MATING SURFACE AND CONNECTOR FOR ANY SIGNS OF DAMAGE OR CONTAMINATION. INSTALL A NEW A/C PRESSURE SWITCH, ENSURING A SECURE AND PROPER FIT. REASSEMBLE ALL PREVIOUSLY REMOVED COMPONENTS AND VERIFY THAT ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS ARE PROPERLY SEATED. MAKE ALL NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS TO ENSURE CORRECT INSTALLATION.
FLUSH THE ENTIRE A/C SYSTEM TO REMOVE ANY CONTAMINANTS, DEBRIS, OR RESIDUAL OIL THAT MAY BE PRESENT IN THE LINES OR COMPONENTS. THIS IS A CRITICAL STEP TO ENSURE THAT FOREIGN OBJECTS DO NOT CIRCULATE THROUGH THE SYSTEM AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO SENSITIVE COMPONENTS SUCH AS THE A/C COMPRESSOR, CONDENSER, OR EXPANSION VALVE. UTILIZE A PROFESSIONAL GRADE A/C FLUSHING SOLVENT AND COMPRESSED AIR TO THOROUGHLY CLEAN THE SYSTEM. FOCUS ON FLUSHING OUT EACH INDIVIDUAL LINE AND COMPONENT, ENSURING THAT FLOW IS CLEAR AND FREE OF OBSTRUCTION. INSPECT FOR ANY SIGNS OF EXCESSIVE CONTAMINATION DURING THE FLUSHING PROCESS. AFTER THE FLUSH IS COMPLETE, ALLOW THE SYSTEM TO FULLY DRY, THEN REASSEMBLE ALL COMPONENTS USING NEW SEALS OR O-RINGS AS NEEDED. FOLLOW UP WITH A VACUUM PROCEDURE TO REMOVE ANY REMAINING MOISTURE, AND THEN RECHARGE THE SYSTEM WITH THE CORRECT TYPE AND AMOUNT OF REFRIGERANT. VERIFY SYSTEM PERFORMANCE AND ENSURE ALL COMPONENTS ARE OPERATING EFFICIENTLY AND FREE OF DEBRIS.
PERFORM A VACUUM PROCEDURE TO REMOVE ANY MOISTURE OR AIR FROM THE SYSTEM. RECHARGE THE SYSTEM WITH THE CORRECT TYPE AND AMOUNT OF REFRIGERANT. TEST SYSTEM OPERATION AND VERIFY THAT THE REPLACEMENT HAS RESOLVED THE ISSUE AND THAT THERE ARE NO FURTHER LEAKS PRESENT.
