Please help me identify these problems with my car!

[eminem]

I've had some of these problems since I bought my car a few weeks ago, and other's have happened since then.
[list=1]
Heater doesn't work
A/C doesn't work
Power mirror doesn't work(I think this is just a fuse)
My front right wheel makes a very unusal ratteling sound when I'm driving. More so when I brake
Clutch doesn't grab till I press it down about half way
Filled my clutch fluid container with brake fluid about 2 weeks ago, and it was completly empty today. So I bought some more brake fluid.(I'm guessing there's a leak somewhere)
[/list=1]

Can you guys tell me what could possibly be wrong and about how much I'd cost to fix! Thanx!

if the heater doesnt work, check the VSV I believe that it is called. Umm clutch, sounds like the master cylinder to me. Is there brake fluid on the floor-board behind the clutch? A/C mine doesnt work either, just take off the targa. My power mirrors dont work either, I think that it is the SWITCH, im just too lasy fo mess with it cuz my mirrors are right and I never move them. LOL I hope this helps, maybe a little. ;)

does the heater fan blow air and you're not getting heat or does the heater fan not blow at all? if the heater fan blows then as James said it is most likely the heater vsv. this is a valve located on the firewall, it has a heater hose going into it from the engine and one going into a hole in the firewall. first thing you should do is to check your coolant level, if it's low then you won't get heat either. if the coolant isn't low then locate the vsv, have a friend sit in the car with it running at normal temp and have the friend turn on and off the heater fan. you should see the actuator arm move up and down when he does this. if the arm doesn't move, unplug the vacuum line that runs from the drivers side of the engine to the vsv and plug it directly into the upside down bowl thing that the actuator arm comes out of. if the actuator arm moves then the vsv is shot, check out the sogi tech tip on the lower cost camary replacement.
if the heater/ac fan blows but you don't get cold air, is the ac compressor clutch engaging when you turn it on? if not odds are you have very low freon level. either consider converting to r134 or find a shop that can recharge your system with r12 after checking for leaks.
power mirror dosen't work? which one, right, left or both? you do know that the slide switch in front of the movement switch has a center off position? if you know about that then it's either a fuse or the slide switch. i think, but not sure, that the radio is powered by the same fuse.
for the right front wheel, chances are you have either a warped rotor or the rotor is deeply grooved. take the tire off and look at the rotor. if smooth lightly touch your finger to it will spinning it. you might be able to tell if it's warped that way but you may have to get a run out gauge to check it.
clutch, you probably do have a leak, find it, fix it, then bleed the system, if the clutch still doesn't release till halfway down then adjust the rod at the top of the clutch pedal.

About the clutch problem...

Get it fixed ASAP!

I had the exact same problem a couple of months ago and it got to the point where I had to push it all the way to the floor before it engaged.

Good Luck

i have an extra power Mirror switch if you want, i give it to you free just pay shipping a dollar or two

Try bleeding the clutch, I think that will solve your clutch probs.

with regards to the heater/aircon... i had the same problem and it wasnt the VSV thingi. It was the actually temperature adjustment switch. I pulled it out and all the solderd connections at the back were cracked. I just ran a soldiring iron over the connections and it worked fine. took about 30mins :)

Also, if you do what the other guys said about checking to see if the lever goes up or down on the VSV when u put the heater on...it wont go up or down even if it is working fine because the switch was faulty!

Just a thought. :)

good luck.
