THen I turn off the engine and then start again, then it all work fine. I just don't understand what happen. Anyone please please help me. I just want to know why it happen, engine oil is fine. Car is ran fine after I restart the engine.



Do I need to take the car for check up. What should I do,


Classic symptom of a failing overload relay... only solution is buy a new one. It is located behind your battery .. with a red fuse on the top.

Thank you for your answers!

Is it possible to change by myself. Is this need instant check or can wait for few days before taking it for service.

thanks you.

The part is $55 at the dealer... pull the cover out... remove the battery for easier access... two screws... slip old out... slip new in and reverse.

Very easy
