Question 1
can you put a batter from a 1994 plymouth laser in a 1989 chevey silerado 1500?...  

Answers
1)   If it fits and has enough cranking amps. - doane_nut

2)   batter, yo what u be smokin - Matt Marcello

3)   The Laser has top mounted battery posts and the Chevy Silverado has side mount connections so the answer is "No" unless you purchase the adapters that are available. They are some batteries that have both connections, top and side, if you have one of those it wouldn't be a problem. - Don't know everything !

4)   First off, hit spell check after your done asking.
If the post on the batterY match the one you are switching, also measure the height of the battery. It might be too high and will short out on the hood. - Donny

Question 2
How do i reset the airbag light on a 2008 chrysler sebring myself?...  

Answers
1)   press the big red reset button - Matt Marcello

2)   I wouldn't try it myself. you may deploy airbag. - badbill1941

3)   Most pocket scanners can't reset the lights so it's pretty much going to a dealer or a decently equipped shop. - Hank Scorpio

4)   On most vehicles, the airbag light should come on for @6 seconds, and then go off if the system is working properly. If there is a fault or a problem in the system, the light will remain illuminated, or flash continuously. If the airbag light does not work properly, some vehicles have an audible tone that sounds indicating a problem with the airbag light system. When the light is on (or the tone is sounding), the airbag will NOT deploy, even in an accident. This website gives you the procedure for diagnosing and resetting airbag lights on the ...scanlist.aspx page listed below.

The flashing light on your car is telling there is a problem. On some vehicles, the light is flashing a two digit code. Your vehicle will require a scan tool for the proper diagnosis (and not the one at Auto Zone---it needs to be airbag system specific, like a good body shop or the dealer). Here's a site that will explain everything you need to know about airbag lights and resetting the system. Once you know the code, you can most likely repair it yourself. There are fairly easy procedures that most people are capable of repairing.
Airbagsolutions.com has the fault code charts to tell you what is wrong! Although it’s a pay site ($14.95/day), it’s a lot cheaper than going to the dealer.

Some vehicle manufacturers accommodate systems without a scanner (like Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, Infinity, Honda, Acura, Ford, Lincoln, Mazda & Mercury) . Most all other vehicles require a scan tool for the diagnosis. Here is a link to the list of vehicle and scanner requirements.
Check out these websites also for more info on airbag systems and the light.
Lastly, check your vehicle for recalls through this link. - D G

Question 3
Car repair for a Chrysler 300?...  Last night, I could not get t he shift out of park. Do I need transmission fluid added? I get maintenance checked every 6 mos. because I only drive it for running errands and going to Church. The mileage is approx. 19, 500.

Answers
1)   The interlock is bad,when you push the brake pedal it releases the lock so you can put it in gear.It is a safety devise so the car cant jump into gear if no one is in the car and it is running and so little kids can bump it in to gear and the car take off.Call the parts store they should have the part to fix this just tell them whats going one and they will know what to get you. - Scott W

2)   Here is the skinny on transmission locking in park. When you pull up to a curb or against a fixed object and hit the brake and put the shift in park and let off the brake, the shift park rod is placed in a bind. Same as if you were trying to turn the door knob on you're house with someone pushing against the door. The latch binds. Always let the vehicle, placed in neutral, role back from the object or curb on it's own before placing the shift in park. Otherwise, the best way to unbind it is to simply give the shift lever a hard and sound jerk to unbind it. If your 300 was not against another object when you parked it, then it could be the safety shift lock that is electrically controlled and released by placing your foot on the brake before trying to come out of park. This will have to be checked out by a technician. It isn't fluid related. - Jackolantern

3)   The shifter has a broken piece which prevents it from moving out of park. There is an emergency release. On the shifter base you will find a small rectangular piece of plastic. Remove this piece of plastic, place a long thin screwdriver or pen into the hole. You are trying to push down on the pink plastic release. Once you press down on the release, turn the ignition key on (do not start the engine), put your foot on the brake, and move the shifter to neutral. You can then start the engine and drive it to the dealer or shop to replace the shifter. Good luck. - C-Tech

Question 4
why would a catalytic converter of my 2006 town and country chrysler van with 40,000 mi need to be replaced?...  dealer told me so. just had the gaskets replaced due to oil leak. now they tell me i need this

Answers
1)   It is unusual but it could be due to excessive fuel going to them due to bad sparkplugs (misfire). The replacement should be covered under the emission warranty unless I am mistaken. - C-Tech

2)   Catalytic converters can go indefinitely if they aren't contaminated by oil, leaded gas, antifreeze, etc. It's unusual for them to go bad at that low mileage, but they can. - Jackolantern

3)   Either too much fuel went through it, or it got too hot from something else. Sometimes, it can be caused by a technician trying to speed up a fuel injection cleaning service by running the cleaner through the engine at too high of an engine speed.
I don't believe in doing injection cleaning services unless the vehicle is having problems from carbon build-up on the injectors or valves. Fuel is required by law to have certain additives and cleaners in it (though some gas companies add more or different additives to it), adding more additives to the tank or having a cleaning service done as "regular" maintenance is throwing money away.

The vehicle has an 8 year, 80,000 mile emissions warranty that covers the catalytic converter. You shouldn't have to pay anything at all for it to be replaced. If they're trying to tell you you have to pay for it, then it's time to call Chrysler Customer Service (1-800-992-1997) and tell them what's going on, or take it to a different dealership.

If it's a salvage vehicle, then it won't be covered, but otherwise, it should be. - Mark B

Question 5
what is the blue book value on a chrysler 2001 300 M?...  

Answers
1)   Depends on the mileage. For one with 100,000 miles on it between 3200 and 4300 depending on condition. - bafrisio

2)   Go to www.kbb.com and look it up, you dont have enough info to get a good value - rick b

3)   I have access to a Kelley Blue Book Online account.

I put in the information you provided, and assuming the car has less than 116,000 Miles, the Wholesale Value is $3,275 and the Retail Value is $5,565.

If you want a more accurate answer, I'd need the number of miles it has, and also the options or features (extras) that the car has that might make it more valuable. - Phorenon
