I have changed the batteries in my key fob, it now flashes when I press a button, but doesnt link up with the car, even after pressing the button three times, I dont have a spare to compare it to, is it supposed to flash or be a solid light?

I just had my 4 snow tires put on my car and then balanced at Costco, but now the steering wheel vibrates at 45 MPH---does the vibration mean that they were not balanced properly? Or, is there another explanation? Thank, Chris

They all seem to have a very long 2nd gear. Then this low pitch rising humming or roar starts up. The motor rpm's stay the same - like it's stuck, but that other sound keeps going up toward the rpm's. Then, it feels like a stick shift(hard forward boost or jerks) when it finally goes into 3rd gear & and that sound becomes higher than the motors rpm's. This is where the bus feels like it is really pulling. The bus engages 4th gear like a typical automatic. Call me wierd, but its almost like music to me(I'm not the only one facinated with the sound of motors) Why?

My battery on my bike has gone flat. Can I hook it up to a battery charger without disconnecting all the leads? It has a datatool alarm etc and am just wondering if doing that will damage anything. Id prefer not to have to unhook it all if poss. I did try to bump start it but with no success. Its been out in the cold tooooo long. Well few weeks anyway without being ridden.

I did read somewhere not to use a battery charger you would use on your car but mine does have a switch for a bike so guess its ok. I have never had to charge the battery on my bike before!

thanks!

AND which ALSO includes UNCOMMON warning/indicator lights?

I repeat- UNCOMMON. Anyone with half a brain can recognize the oil light, the battery light, the brake light, the check engine light, and so on. I'm asking about the lights that aren't so obvious.

Thanks, guys.

I bought a used 1999 Ford Contour on Thursday of this last week. With the temperatures as low as they've been I've needed to use the heat, but the car doesn't heat up at all unless I'm idling in drive for more than five minutes, but once I start driving again it cools off. Does that mean the thermostat is stuck open like my grandpa says, or do I just have a kick-butt radiator?

for ex when i have to slow down in 3rd gear going 25mph for a turn and shift it into 2nd. i shift into second but hold the clutch around the corner so the car slows down more. then even when the speed is like 18pmh and i slowly let out the clutch it slows down. why when its in the right gear. also when i instead leave it in 3rd my acceleration is too slow. how do i do it corectly so it dosent jerk or slow down.

One was drunk while driving

One was chatting on a cell phone while driving

The pedestrian dies.

Statistics show that talking in a cell phone creates a similar impairment to driving ability as does a drunk driver with .1


The drunk goes to jail for 10 years, the person talking on the cell phone goes home that same evening.

Does this seem right to you?

I was in a car accident and was transported to the hospital. I called my ex boyfriend to come and pick up our daughter because she was not injured. He took the car seat out of my vehicle and put it in his and now...a week later he won't return it. I've been asking him for it back and he won't give it back at all. Can I file a police report that he stole the car seat? I hav ethe receipt for the car seat too....
