I have a 2000 civic ex tha my brother crashed from the front. After that, we fixed the damage and nothing happened to the engine. We can push start it and drive it, we can put a cable from the starter to the battery to crank it and turn the key to turn on. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN WE TRY TO TURN THE CAR ON BY JUST HITTING THE CLUTCH AND TURNING THE KEY. IT DOES NOT MAKE ANY SOUNDS OF TRYING TO TURN ON, BUT IT DOES MAKE THAT BEEP SOUND WHEN U TURN THE KEY OR WHATEVER. SO WHAT CAN BE THE PROBLEM?

neither the backup lights or the brakes lights work. I'm thinking its a fuse, but can not tell from the owners manual what fuse it is. Any help? Or could it be anything else? Thanks!

I was told when you ride with your windows down the wind slows your car down and the car works harder to maintain your current mph. On the contrary, i was told running AC burns a lot of gas as well. Which burns more GAS?

What are the two things called that sometimes are put on some boats under it to keep balance. They look as triangles and they go all along the base of the boat. its something like this if you look from back of the boat, except that they are bigger. I think they are usually set on catamarans to keep balance.

When the weather gets cooler, the problem gets worse. The smell begins as soon as the car is moving and continues to get worse. We are all experiencing health problems that I fear may be related to this, headaches, nausia, and dizziness after riding in the car. The car is a 1986 Toyota Camry. I can't tell where the exhaust is coming from so I don't know how to fix it. HELP!!!!

The Prius is out of warranty and has over 100K miles. It needs a new "main computer" and a catalytic convertor. I was quoted a black book value of 4000.00 trade in value when the car was just under 100,000 miles. I still owe @ 8000.00 on the loan and was hoping to keep it until the load was paid off but I'm getting nervous - the repairs are getting costly. I just am not sure if I should continue to repair, trade it in or repair and then trade it. If I decide to trade it in, should I get it repaired first or take the hit on the trade in?

Hi, my little girl messed with the front panel in the truck (Dodge Durango 2002) and after that, the truck pulls funny and just drives different. The knob was turned to "4lo" and the orange light for it is on. When I turn it to 2w its green light just blinks and the "4lo" light is still on, but there is no difference in how it drives and pulls.
I can't find the manual for the truck. I was wondering if any one out there can please, pretty please help me get my truck back to normal? I don't want to drive it anywhere like this and I'm not a auto savvy kind of person. Thank you :)

I asked everyone, I have a 1993 Ford Ranger, and i have been searching for the constant 12vt wire, with a multimeter, but i cant seem to find any wires giving anything while the truck is off. Is there anyway a could add a wire, like hook one on my battery, and run it to the stereo, or would the power the battery is giving be to much for the stereo? i have a Sony Cdx-gt100 if that helps at all..................................
Every one told me i could run it from my battery, but i would need to run it through a fuse, if some one could give me a step by step installation, with the parts i would need, that would be greatly appreciated.

My blinkers and flashers work sometimes, however, 90% of the time they don't . I keep reading about this being caused by the turn signal switch being bad or something.
Can someone tell me where the switch is located in a 1999 oldsmobile cutlass.
Also if you have any recommendations on something else it could be, please leave them.

I have a 2000 Nissan Maxima. The front rotors need to be replaced, and we're trying to do it ourselves... one of us knows exactly what to do. However, even with the car up on the jack, he is unable to get the leverage he needs to loosen whatever it is that is preventing the rotor from sliding off of the axle. How can we/he get the leverage needed to fix this?

Would it be better to go to the shop and have them do it on the lift? How much should we expect to pay at the shop?
