Hello everyone,
Hopefully someone here can give me some advice, I'm trying to do some maintenance things to a 2003 V6, has ~162k miles on it, to get it ready for sale.
First, the turn signals and hazard lights all kind of act up in the same way - they will turn on, blink 1-2 times, and then just holds lit until I turn it off. Sometimes it seems like they'll go for 10 or so, but then they always end up back at the same constant. So, I checked all of the fuses that appeared to be related to this (namely 1, 7, 13, 18, 28, 29) and all were okay. I've done some searching, and it sounds like it may be the flasher, but I've seen people on those posts say that their hazards work fine - but mine don't, does it still seem like this would be the Flasher Module?
Secondly, it is throwing 2 engine codes, P0133 (Bank 1 Sensor 1 O2 Sensor), and P1131 (HO2S Signal Low Input) my understanding is that I need to replace the O2 sensor, bank 1 meaning the passenger side of the car, and sensor 1 meaning pre-cat... Well, I have located that O2 sensor, and feel like there is no feasible way of changing that from above or below... any advice on how to reach that damn sensor, and even worse, the connector? Or is there possibly something else throwing the code?
And my final question is that it appears to have an oil leak. I have attached a couple of pictures here of where it seems like the oil is coming from. What would be the process for fixing this leak? I don't want to get super deep into fixing the leak to sell the car, since it is, at this point, a 13 year old car and I think most people know that may come with the territory, but idk, if I can apply some RTV or something to this area would that work?
Sorry for the long post, thanks for any help!
