The manual I own does not have the correct information. The illustration included applies to model 1982 thru 1993. I do not have a GM Tech 1 scanner.

I was trying to fix my power antenna. I took a guess and started connecting different wires. Connected blue/white from pioneer radio to 12v constant. Now my radio and clock doesn't work.

I checked all fuses, none are blown. The cigarette lighter and all the other lights work.

Need your help, what else could it be if it's not the fuse?

I was having my Harley dyno'd the other day after doing some upgrades (I'm up over 72 hp now!) and my buddy decided to stick his Sportster on the dyno. The bike is a completely stock 2001 with 3,200 miles on it, and runs like it always has. When it was put on the dyno, it came out at only 32 horsepower. I had thought the stock hp ln these was about 45, but the speed shop owner insisted that although the 45 hp # is what you see listed all the time, in reality the Sportster always tests in the 30s. Does this sound right or do he need to go get it tested on a different dyno?

Is there any positions in the car that will cause less damage. If you are certain of a head on collision and know the airbag is going to go off, should you put your hands up to cover your face or down, turn your head, etc?? Is there any proper procedure?

i was following this van today in town. He threw two empty crisp packets out the window whilst driving and then got onto his phone, happily driving past a sign reminding of the dangers of using a mobile whilst at the wheel. He also then dived across two lanes ( still on the phone ) to go off elsewhere. I don't usually complain, but this sort of person is exactly the reason why people get run over. He clearly has no social conscience. I just want to know if i could have taken his plate and then reported it later to someone who could actually do something. ( there was no 'how am i driving?' sign on his van unfortunately )

i bought an in-dash dvd player (alpine IVA-D105)yesterday but have yet to get it installed. i was just wondering whether the law prohibits the use of the screen if a movie isn't even playing while i'm driving. what if the screen is only showing the title of the track on my ipod or something? would i still be breaking the law? besides, i'm not planning on running a movie on the screen while i'm driving. i just want to be sure before installing it because i have 6 more days before i can change my mind and get a refund. thank for the help =)

My timing belt slipped and was replaced. However, it is now making noises from the timing belt area when the car has been driving for 20 to 30 minutes in warm temperature. I had the timing belt, idler pulley, and tensioner replaced already at the dealership. What can still be the problem? ANybody know why it is still making a noise from there in warm temperatures of above 60 degrees after the car has been driven for 20 to 30 minutes? I mean there is nothing left i can change right?

I have an alpine cd player thats maybe 4 or 5 years old in my '93 jeep wrangler. Every time I start the jeep all the settings on the cd player get erased. The bass, treble, ect are back to 0 and the time says 12:00. I have the constant on wire[red] hooked directly to the battery with an inline fuse and the acc wire[yellow] pluged into the radio connection on the fuse block[thats how its set up on wranglers]. I thought that the constant on wire is what allows the settings to be saved?

For a 2004 Suzuki GSX-R600.

This bike has just over 7000 miles on it, and was bought about a week ago with a 2 year warranty on it from a reputed motorcycle dealer.

Basically, I got it home, unloaded it off my truck correctly, and went to start it and take it around for a short ride. The battery was dead. I let a dead battery slide, and figured that somewhere along the line of taking it home, something discharged the battery. I charged it myself with a battery charger, and had it running for a day. Now, it is making a lot of smoke when it runs, and refuses to go into gear. (It shifts, but just stalls going into first, with the clutch in.) Are these symptoms of a greater problem? Is there something I'm missing? I'm pretty good with motorcycles. It IS under a 2 year warranty, but if theres something I'm doing wrong now, I don't want to hitch it back up on my truck and take it to them only to have them tell me I was forgetting to do something on it.

One night during some heavy stop and go traffic I smelled coolant really strong. I stopped to see if my 94 YZF750R was leaking but no liquid ever hit the floor. I just assumed it was another passing vehicle. Weeks later while messing around with my battery I noticed my coolant tank was empty. I filled it with water and rode it about one mile before it was bone dry again. Still no liquid on the ground no dripping. My oil is not milky or bubbly. I filled it up one last time and now the water stays in. I am scared to ride it now becasue if it's a blown gasket or head I don't want to sieze it.

She's concerned with the reliability of an older car and is afraid that repair costs will always be astronomical, but my research tells me that a 300TD will last forever if maintained properly, so it would be a good investment. Help me out here.
