I have a 1994 Ford Thunderbird 4.6L V-8 and every time i use my blinker or my wipers or the power windows or sun roof while going down the road my Volts read from 13.5V down to 9-10V. I notice it most when i use my blinker going down the road, everytime it blinks my volt meter shows from 13.5 down to 9 to 10V. The car use to have a AMP 1200W running off the battery what do you guys think? could it just be a electronic problem with the car?

Have you seen the new issue? The one that "provides" you with a way to keep engine heat off you? (I want to feel when my baby is getting too hot so I can stop for a bit.) And the one color option for the Dyna Wide. Pfftt. And not much in the custom paint department for anything shown. The FXCW looks pretty good, but the bars look like they suck. Is H-D going the AMF route and selling to the "rabble"?

Maybe at close to 50, I should not be looking for a real answer on the computer. H-D and computer don't really go well together for an old timer. If you are with me, drop a line to the factory. I have. It's a shame what they are doing. I wish Willie "G" best of luck, but I'm starting to feel that maybe a Victory, just as American, is better.

Hasta lumbego. (Yeah, I know it's wrong. We said it in the late 80's when the suspensions were bad for skinny people riding alone.) Probably won't give an answer plug to this one, either.

They don't give it any extra HP? They don't make the car sound any meaner? It just makes the car look and sound stupid. Is that what they are saying? "Look at me, I'm stupid?"

A week ago I was driving and I smelled smoke and I thought it was someone elses car until I saw the smoke coming from my car. I pulled over and opened up my hood, the engine was smoking. My oil pressure light had been on for months, I dismissed it as a bad fuse because the wiring in my car is bad and because I get my oil changed very often. After it smoked, the oil pressure light went off. I drove it yesterday and after ten minutes of driving it began smoking again and the oil pressure light reappeared. I let it cool down and tried driving it home and it started to smoke again so I had to pull over aagain. The place where I put my oil in at felt very hot. My dipstick comes up saying that there is oil in the car so could it be my oil pressure sending unit? What else could be the cause and is it even worth fixing? I dont want to spend alot on the car because I don't plan on keeping it much longer. Thank you

So I know how to enter into steptronic mode, how to shift up/down, but I just don't know when i should do it.

Can someone give me a mph/rpm range or something like that?

Thanks.

My parents say that when they were learning to drive that they were told not to change gears(ex.-from Reverse to Drive) while moving. Is this still true in todays cars, and if so what kind of damage can it cause?

I've checked the fuse box. They're good. Brakelite doesn't work with either lever. Foot lever or hand lever. Is there maybe another fuse hidden somewhere in the frame or under the seat? I've even changed the bulbs. That didn't help either. Any suggestions or solutions would be appreciated. Have a BLESSED day.

I took my car to get an inspection sticker yesterday. I am female and I went alone. (my first mistake) They said my car failed because "the rear struts are leaking". They offered to fix it for $178.00. Instead, I took the car to my dad and had him look at it first. He was a mechanic for 30 years. He says there is nothing wrong with the rear struts. Now what do I do? The store I took it to already tore off half the sticker and said I need to come back there to get the new one once it is "fixed". I paid 18.50 for the failed inspection. I need some advice. I live in Maine.
