For some reason or other my turn signals are NOT working, when I flip the switch either way I get nothing... ...Not even that clicking sound you'd hear from any turn signal indicating it's turned on. Some times NOT even the brake lights work. It's NOT the light bulbs because they are brand new. I am thinking it may be the wiring, but I'm NOT sure and I really need to find out how to fix this problem. I really dont have the extra cash to pay a mechanic $110.00 per hour to sniff out the problem... in addition to that my rear defroster is also NOT working. I need some info on how to make this right... without spending a bundle of money I dont have... Thanks in advance...

I got a 1972 ford mustang it has been with my dad ever since i was born I'm 18 now and he is giving it to me I'm debating whether i should fix it up make it look really nice and run great or fix it all the way up and take it to the drag race tracks. Tell me what you think i should do with the car and why.

I was thinking of making it look and run good then pass it down to my kids. Then again i would love to race it.

It's going off like every hour. I looked outside and there's nobody or cats out there. It turns off when I hit the button, but sure enough, an hour later, here it goes again. We have to have alarms on at night in this neighborhood. What could be the problem and how can I fix it?

I asked a question not long ago and it turned out that there is a lot of misconception about the brand. So I guess my questions is: would you give Hyosung a second look knowing that they have ties with Suzuki and actually built a lot of engines for them? Would you consider Hyosung knowing you get a full 2 year warranty on parts and labor? Did you know that Hyosung is KOREAN and NOT Chinese built? Did you know that FISHER is powered by Hyosung? Did you know that Hyosung will be at the top 6 fairly soon? Have you visited: http://www.hyosungperformance.com and http://www.korider.com ?

Does that button really do anything? If so, what? Does it shorten the time of a red light? Lengthen the time of the walk sign? Does it matter how many times you press it?

When I wash my car I still have what looks like grease and oil prints on my car? I have tried all types of cleaners that promise to take out grease and oil stains, but they look ok when you are washing them but as soon as the car dries, well you guessed it the stains are still there. I have tried almost everything, I even accidently tried somestuff that almost took the paint off still nothing. Please help me
Thanks

I've had starter problems before, but now it just winds out and never catches. It's not the starter... I heard it's where the gears mate up to actually start the motorcycle. What part do I need to buy to fix this?

I have a 1994 RM 250 engine in a micro sprint Race car. It has a 38mm mikuni power jet flat slide carb., K&N clamp on air filter.. I'm not sure if this is even the carb that came on it.. Engine is stock, other than some porting & maybe a set of reeds, & an ESR pipe.. Can somebody give me an idea of which jets I should run? Thank you..

Hi there,

I'm wondering if there are any types of pet carriers or other portable unit (crate, pen, etc) that have either attached air-conditioning, or if something can be attached.

This would not be for constant use. My enclosed-bed pick-up truck is not air-conditioned (maybe a unit can be installed in the back canopy??). For the rare time that I might need to take a pet for an unexpected trip to a vet, I worry when it gets warm, and am looking for a solution that would not entail my having to sell my vehicle, or installing an a/c system "after-market" which I have discovered will cost me thousands (and presumable only installs the a/c to the front cab).

I was hoping that there may be something that is available to animal care professionals or rescue associations that I might look into, or if any car-savvy person can think of some alternatives.

Thanks,
Linda

a few days ago i was driving my truck and all the sudden my lights started flashing (dash lights, radio, headlights etc) and my truck lost power. Its acting like there is a huge electrical short but i have not found one, and none of my fuses are burned out. I have looked at all the wiring i could find but nothing major seemed to be wrong. I turned it off once it started going crazy and when i couldn't find ne thing i started it back up. it was fine till i took it out of park and put it into reverese, it started stumbling and died i started it back up in park and again it runs fine, till i try drive again it dies. i don't know what the problem is i've heard a theory that it might be my distributor.... can anyone help me?

There might be some users here that have had that priveledge. I'm not that old, but I can certainly remember many more rail lines (esp. industrial spurs) when I was really young. It would have been cool to see steam in action, or the transistion to diesel.

Can anyone comment on how railfanning had changed over the years? I think it may be a bit more rosier lately (after years of overall decline)with all the massive locos and increased traffic/train length, and the sharing of foreign power. Whats your opinion on the current state of railfanning?

Clutch became spongy yesterday, and this morning clutch would not come back up. Towed to dealer. Dealer says line is leaking (reservoir for clutch is empty). He says most likely the Slave Cylinder was damaged by running with reservoir empty. Any way to verify this before shelling out $500 to the dealer?

Would it make sense to suggest the dealer replace the leaky lines, then test the car? Would it really cost that much more to replace the Slave Cylinder AFTER testdriving the car??
Thanks.

i have a no-name, 5hp, 30gal air compressor that i bought from Kragen. It has never worked as well as a tank that size should. I let it run until it shuts off (once the tank is full), and after that, I have only a really strong supply of air for maybe 5 full minutes before i begin to lose serious pressure. And with no real pressure behind them, my air tools are too weak to do anything worthwhile. I cannot even remove the nuts off of my tires! Oil level is fine, the hose has no leaks that i can see, and the tools are properly maintained and oiled everyday. What am i doing wrong? Is it because I should have done things the right way and bought a Craftsman? .....thanks 4 any help.

The repair manual doesn't say anything about them for my '95 Nissan Maxima, but want to replace everything I should replace when I get my shocks done. Is it also necessary to install cam bolts to do an alignment afterward? Is my car even equipped with lower insulators? Answer only what you can. Thanks.
