About my car

You do not change ANY parts based on a fault code. Their purpose is to get the mechanic into the proper circuit or system so they know which one to troubleshoot. If you insist on throwing random parts at a problem without having it diagnosed, it will be much less expensive to just buy a different car.

Code 1441 relates to the evaporative emissions system. There could be a plugged hose, a cracked and leaking hose, loose hose clamp, defective valve, etc. The dealer's repair department has entire books devoted to troubleshooting this system. Most of the time the diagnosis takes much longer than making the actual repair. You are asking what the actual repair is but you need to have someone spend the time to make the diagnosis. That takes a person who can see and touch things and perform various tests.

Don't know exactly as I've never changed one. Look first for the charcoal canister, usually somewhere near the front of the engine bay in one corner. The valve might be mounted right on top of it. It will have two wires in the electrical connector. If it isn't there, follow the larger vacuum hose to the engine. The valve will be somewhere in line with that hose.

Can't help you with that one. My best guess is it will be in a relay box under the dash which might be hidden behind a trim panel. You can check in the fuse box under the hood too but I don't think they would stick it there. The best way to find those things is with the factory service manual. They have drawings that show the locations of every part.

A simple trick to prevent wasting fuses is to plug in two spade terminals, then use two jumper wires to connect them to a 12 volt light bulb. For this circuit a brake light bulb will work fine.

When the short is present, the bulb will light up full brightness so be sure it's not resting against a plastic door panel or on the carpet. Now you can do things to see what makes the bulb go out. When it does, you have done something to remove the short from the circuit. Try unplugging connectors and opening the doors. If the light flickers or goes out when you open a door, suspect frayed or broken wires between the door hinges.

If the bulb does not get bright until you press the lock or unlock button, the problem could also be a shorted lock motor or frayed wires at the other doors. If the bulb is bright without pressing any buttons, that rules out the lock motors. If the bulb gets bright when pressing only the lock OR the unlock button, but not both, suspect a broken / grounded wire.

Once the short is located and removed, the locks most likely will not work properly until the bulb is replaced with the proper fuse. The bulb adds too much resistance to the circuit so not enough current can flow to make the lock motors work properly. Instead of a brake light bulb, a head light bulb will pass about 5 amps which could be enough to let the locks work.
