My car was in the shop from me hitting another car but when i got it back my horn didn't work when I pressed the lock twice. I thought it was that but If I press on my horn in the car it won't sound.

How do I fix this witout taking it to the shop?

I looked in the manual but it didn't help me.

Here in GB, automatics are actually rare.

(I believe manuals are called 'stick-shift' stateside)

when I hit the brakes it pops the fuse, the left turn signal pops the fuse and when I hit the right turn signal it flashes all the right tail lights (including reverse lights) I cant find a short to ground anywhere. you can turn the the left blinker on shortly before the fuse pops and it blinks all my gauge lights it even makes the injectors pulse fuel! weird

I cant find a short anywhere I replaced all the bulbs and it still does it, I just put a new motor in it (350) and right after this started to occur

the truck is a 91 s10

I had someone repair my car at his home in Garden Grove, CA, he said he has applied for licensing and this is his "shop". HE TOTALLY ripped me off with the repairs, they weren't done properly & argued constantly w/ his mechanic. They were supposed to finish the job (I took my car home after 6 days of this bs with the generator light on just to get it out of there) he told me to order the parts to finish it, I did, Sat. I get a call later in the day on my cell that he and his mechanic are fighting & that mechanic won't be doing it at all. Next day I get a call and he tells me that he doesn't owe me any thing and will only fix 1 item, he did not give me a written estimate before hand and wanted me to sign in 2 places an invoice that also stated he gave me an estimate, of course this is all after I paid him (just to get the car away from him). I refused & now I know he is endangering a disabled person by doing a conversion on his car, this man & mechanics are maniacs. HELP!

Like the front two tires are all to the side in different directions and stuff, but the two rear tires are straight.

i wonder if it will be stressful for the tires, or what?

I need an ignition key made for an '01 Chrysler LHS. Didn't this year have car keys with the electronic detectors in them thus requiring a special key technique/equipment? Where do you go for such a thing. How much are the spare keys?
Thanks

I just handed in my bike permit, for a CT state Driver's License. In order to drive my parents' cars, do I need to be insured/added to my parents' insurance policy? We have two cars. Both cars are insured and registered with the DMV. As a new license holder, my insurance would be sky high if I were to be added to my parents' plan. If I went solo, without being added to the plan, can I drive my parents' cars by myself?

Saturday an uninsured, unlicensed, drunk driver hit my taxi cab, doing about $2400 or equal to 6-8 six weeks of net income, in damage to my cab. The car is operable, as most of the damage was to the left front fender and headlight assembly, but the airbag also blew. The headlight and turn are intact.

So far the city taxi inspector has not spotted me, but the annual inspections are coming up next month, so I need to get the damaged repaired. As this is the slow time of the year, I don't have $2400 available to spend, so I'm considering getting a title loan, as the car is paid for. My credit is shot due to an illness years ago that cost me my home.

This will be a first for me, so I would like to hear other people's experiences with it.

I have a 2006 Honda Civic. There is a 30% oil life display. What does this mean, and how do I fix it? Thanks so much!

So tonight at my local oil change place they started my 2001 Sonoma before they filled the oil back up. It was probably on for around 10 seconds at most. I drove it for a while and checked the oil after. Oil is clear, there's no burning smell, no noticible change in acceleration or RPMs.

They were good about it, signed the invoice stating that they did this etc. but I assume that really would only have helped me had the engine died down the block. Does anyone know if I should be genuinely concerned in this case, given that it was only on briefly, and that it wouldn't have been completely dry?
