Default Help with many problems 94 es 300

I just got a 94 es 300 with just around 110,000 miles. its in overall good condition from what i can see but it does have some problems. 1. for starters all the windows other than the drivers do not work. with the exception of the side passenger window that goes down with the drivers control but only goes up with the passengers. how can i fix this? 2. the car seems to squeel when im in idle, going slow, or turning. i think its somthing like the timing belt but im not very knoledgeable about cars. im not sure if its a big deal or not, but its getting on my nerves. how much will it cost if in fact thats it? 3. the trunk button doens't work. how can i fix this? 4. lastly the front part of my dash seems to be cracked from the sun, being im in hawaii, and is now warped back from the center about an inch. is there any way i can glue or stick it back down or do i have to find a whole new dash from a junk yard. thanks for your help!

For #3, there's a valet trunk release button in the glovebox. Play around with it and then see if the door-mounted trunk release will work.

oh yeah! i was playing around with my car and figured out that the valet trunk release button (yellow) in the glove box when pushed in renders your trunk button on your drivers side door panel inoperable. hence the valet feature.

the high pitched noise is probably your timing belt. it may be tensioned too tight and will need to be adjusted. or it will need to be replaced if it hasn't already? 110k is well overdue. you should change your water pump at the same time. with parts and labor you're probably looking at $450-500 +/-

do any of your windows work when you use the individual window switch besides your passenger switch? or does it not work only from your master control switch panel? it might be your master control switch. check on ebay, you can get a used replacement for that.

good luck

Cool

The switches are probably broken, or the wiring to them. Take the panels off & see.
The high pitched noise s the powersteering belt. If you haven't destoryed the belt by letting it slip, it's most likely loose. Tighten it.
Hit the trunk button in the glove box to turn it on.
You can't fix warped plastic. You'd have to heat it until it's soft & bend it back in shape.

For the leather, 2 part Lexol can't be beat.

I tryed the trunk button, but it didn't work. how easy is it to tighten the powersteering belt? if it is destroyed how much would it cost to fix and how easy?
