Chevy Venture Van's Instrument Panel and Radio lights go off at night after 30 minutes driving (or when the head lights are purposely switched-on during daytime)

Hello, Folks,

My 1997 Chevy Venture Van's Instrument Panel lights, including the time/radio display go dark at night although all electrical: headlights, turn lights, radio work well.

That means AT NIGHT, I cannot read my speed, temperature, and fuel meters, neither time/radio station display.

This problem only occurs after 30 minutes driving at night (or when the headlights are purposely switched-on during daytime). The output voltage of the “headlamp & Instrument Panel (I/P) Lamp Dimmer Switch” becomes 0 from its normal value of 12v.

I REPLACED THE HEADLAMP & I/P DIMMER SWITCH with one that I bought from eBay (probably coming from a junkyard). The problem persists, and exactly the same.

What is my next step? Is that possible the replacing switch is again a bad one?

Again, all other electrical lights - fr

There's nothing loose in the car or trunk, but the sound does resemble a bowling ball rolling around and making noise. The sound doesn't change with the speed of the car. The guys at the garage told me they checked to make sure everything is secured and tightened, so safety shouldn't be an issue. I told them to check the shocks, but alas, there was no problem. Also, the first time I took it in, they replaced the front stabilizer links (though noise seems to come from underneath the rear of the car). I thought it had fixed the problem, but really it only made the sound occur less (ie: instead of hearing it after ten minutes of driving, I was able to drive about an hour before hearing it). When the noise starts, I pull over because it is difficult to control the car. Once I get going again, I won't hear it for another hour or so. Any further suggestions?

पानी पार्न महिलाले नाङ्गै हलो जोते
August 20th, 2006

एचकेनेपाल डट कम काठमाडौं प्रतिनिधि-

लामो समयदेखि वर्षा नभएर खडेरी परेपछि पानी पार्नका लागि कपिलवस्तुका विभिन्न गाउँका महिलाले खेतमा सर्वाङ्ग नाङ्गै हलो जोतेका छन् । उनीहरुले शुक्रबार राति आ-आफ्नो खेतमा गएर नाङ्गै हुँदै हलो जोतेको स्वससेले जनाएको छ।

साउन महिना भरी पानी नपरेर रोपेको धान समेत सुकेर, खेत पटपटी फुटेर किसानलाई छटपटी भएका बेला पानी पार्नका लागि शिवालयमा दूध चढाउने, अखण्ड भजन-कीर्तन गर्ने गर्दा पनि वर्षा नभए पछि यसरी नाङ्गै भएर राती खेतमा गएर हलो जोत्न परेको कुरा सहभागी महिलाले बताएका छन् । उनीहरु भन्छन्- यो हाम्रो अन्तिम अस्त्र थियो, प्रयोग गर्‍यौं, हल्का पानी पनि पर्‍यो।

कपिलवस्तु नगरपालिका-२ को कभर्डहल पछाडी राती १० बजे पछि करिब पचास जना महिलाले नाङ्गै भएर हलो जोतेको स्थानीय कृष्ण बारालले बताए । त्यस्तै डेरवा गाउँका महिलाले पनि त्यतिकै संख्यामा हलो जोतेको कुरा स्थानीय दमाल चौहानले बताएका छन् । प्रायः सबै यसरी महिला नाङ्गै भएर हलो जोत्दा गोरु नारिदैन । महिला आँफै नारिएर जोत्छन् र तिनलाई खाजा पुर्‍याउनका लागि गाउँकै कुनै बालकलाई महिलाका भेषमा पठाइन्छ । खाजा पुर्‍याउने बालकले खाजा दिन थाल्दा महिलाले ढीलो आएको भनेर हकार्छन्, गाली गर्छन् । अनि महिलाको भेषमा रहेको बालकले घरमा बच्चालाई दूध खुवाउन परेको, लीपपोत गर्न परेको, पाहुना पाछा उम्काउन परेकोले ढिला भएको जवाफ दिन्छ । त्यो जवाफ चित्त नबुझेर उस्लाई हलो जोत्नेहरुले लखेट्छन् ।

My father had allowed my nephew to use his 1977 Mercedes Benz while attending college in Charlotte, NC. From what we understand as he was driving back to school the car just stopped pulling without warning. We towed it back home. We have no problem with it cranking or running idle, it runs well, but it will not accelerate. Any assistance is welcomed. Thank you.

No one, not even Summit racing has been able to come up with a practical solution. the closest i've come is to custom fit a belt, bypassing the a/c compressor.

Whenever I take a long distance (75+ miles) drive in my 1996 Mercury Mystique the overdrive lights will randomley start blinking within 50 miles of interstate driving. Then, when the car stops, and try to go again, it shifts very hard. The problems fixes itself after the car sits for awhile. What is causing this?

Hi there,

First I must say that I really do know anything about automobiles.
I just recently took a job being a courier and I have and will be putting about 150-200 miles on a day in my 99 toyota corrola with 130,000+ miles. I usually get an oil change every 3,000 miles. I usually get what they suggest is standard oil I think I've been using 10w30 or maybe 5w30 (if those even exist).

My question is should I being doing anything different with the matinence to prolong the life of my car and protect my investment
now that I am really putting it through this everyday (some of it is stop and go in rush hour). Is there a stronger oil I should be using. Or something that I am not even aware of like filters and things of that sort?

Thank you for your time.

dealer said tree trash is stopping up drain so water will not drain. I have used a wire and a piece of plastic tubing to try to break up any deposit. can sometime get a drip of water to leak out. Have put vacuum on drain but hose collapses and only small amount of water comes out. It feels like gasket goo is plugging drain inside of case. Any other Suggestions? Water seems to slosh over and runs out through vent hole in fan motor when I turn a corner.
