Default Had a couple of questions on why this and why that problems come up?

I have a couple of very important questions to ask.

1.) If you just got an oil change and you see the change oil light come onto the dashboard what do you do in order to reset the change oil light so it stays off?

2.) My driver's side power window stopped working and it won't roll-up. Is it the power window motor or switch because the passenger side window rolls up fine and the locks both work on each side. Swith or dead motor?

3.) How can you tell if you have a bad starter or alternator?

Please advise a/sap so I can make plans on getting things fixed. Thank you!

1a.) Search

1b.) Press & hold your trip button untill the "change oil" light blinks.

2.) Motor, the window motors in theese cars are crap.

3a.) Does the car start? If yes, the starter is working.

3b.) Does the car start without having to charge the battery every day? If yes, the alternator is doing its job too.

1) owner's manual or search or look above at 1b in first post.
2) search
3)a) go to autozone, have them test your battery.
3)b) if the battery is good, pull the alternator and have autozone test it.
