Maintenance & Repairs - October 2006

When I turn on my headlights I have no dashlights or running lights. When I turn my lights off, I have dash lights. I've replaced the headlight switch and checked bulbs, still no running lights or dashlights. I have brake lights and turn signal lights working. Do you know what else I can check to fix so I can drive at night?

Here's what I know for sure...it isn't strictly a wiring thing...and I'm guessing the wiring isnt a problem at all. The tail light burned out...then a week later, one of the front headlights...then the other morning, the other one went out when I was going to work in the dark. I was getting quite nervous, but I tried the brights and they still worked! When I discovered that I knew it couldnt be strictly bad wires. I checked the bulbs, and indeed they were all blackened and burnt out. Replacing them fixed the problem, but who knows for how long. What is causing my bulbs to burn out? If its a power surge, I thought that fuses prevent this?! I know my battery isnt the greatest, because even when it was new it took a few cranks to get the engine going (my Dad has the same carrand his batt starts the car instantly). But at the same time this seems like an unlikely cause. I know Tauruses have a history of alternator problems, so this might be it too. Which is more likely?

I tried washing, rinsing and drying my car before letting it air dry on on it's own. But I was a little slow in some areas and it was so hot even in deep shade, that the water dried before I could wipe it off and dry the car with a chamois. Now I have water spots on the glass and paint. I tried re-washing and the spots just won't come off. Help, any suggestions?

What does it means when the oil pressure gauge pointer stays closer to the "H" not on the "H" but heading that way. whether the car has been setting for hour or driving it never moves. I had a oil change two months ago. This just started like maybe two days ago.

This is a crazy car. Two problems here. Climate Control - Heat/heater fan on positions 1, 2 or 3 always runs high. Where is that control? It is on High Fan all the time even if on lowest setting.
Also, where is the idle control module located and what does it look like? Vehicle is fuel injected and it idles at 1,500 RPM and it should idle at 1,000 RPM. Only sometimes does it come down to 1,000 RPM. How to fix these problems? Thanks.

Basically the car engine destroyed itself after only 50 miles. It sounded fine when purchased. Are there additives that an unsrupulous dealer can put in the oil that will revive the engine just long enough to sell it? Is there a way to test for those by some sort of lab analysis and if so, do you know of any labs that do it and how much does it cost?
