The speed/RPM/temp/gas and even the digital mileage LCD on the gauge are not working since 2005. I took it to a bodyshop, and the owner told me it's hard to find out what is actually wrong.

My observations:
1) In Winter mornings, I start my car engine and the gauge works great, but it would go dead after a few hours.

2) Sometimes (1 of 1000) all of the sudden when I'm driving, the guage works again; but after I turn off the engine and re-start in a while, it does not work again.

Does anyone know what is causing this problem? I really need to get this fixed because I'm trying to sell my car. Thanks.

It does not heat up well unless the truck is in motion, at which time it heats OK. The colder it is outside the cooler the heat is in the truck. Help?

I have a 2000 automatic Ford Escort ZX2 With about 50,000 miles. Every time I start out from a stop, my break light comes on and won't turn off until I a)hit second gear or b) tap on my breaks.

If you could tell me what this could be and how much it might cost to fix, that would be awesome. I'm a poor college student, so i can't really pay a mechanic 100 bucks just to check it out.

The "Check Tire Pressure" light comes on every time I have any sort of work done on my tires. The car manual did not include instructions on how to reset the sensor. On the previous car I had, my mechanic showed me where the reset switch is for the O2 sensor. I'm hoping the tire sensor can be reset just as easily. Any ideas?

I have a 2001 Astra Van with the Vauxhall 1.7 TDI engine. After just having a new starter motor fitted, on start up the engine is rattly and the oil light stays on and flickers for 5 seconds and then as the oil gets round, it returns to normal and the dash light goes out. The car and spanner dash light stays on now and when I took it back and had the van plugged to the diagnostics, I was told that it was indicating a faultycrank sensor, but as it runs fine and the rev counter is working, just forget about it. Could it be conected to me having the starter fitted or is it coincidental and it's something like the oil pump slowly dying? If anyone can shed some light, I would be grateful. Pat.

My window was shot out with a BB gun and my husband taped plastic over the window with clear packing tape. Now there are bits of glass stuck in tape residue all around the repaired window. How can I get it off and not damage the paint around the window? The company the insurance company sent to repair the window would not touch it.

I was wondering if a diesels glow plugs have anything at all to do with the ignition sequence or are they just for degelinizing fuel.

Hello. First of all, thanks to all that helped with my last question " 93 Seville 4.9 PO12". I appreciate.
Well to the next question, My Caddy is surging at idle and while I drive. When I stop she seems to want to drive right through the brakes and the rpm dont wont to fall off. I find if aI brake very slowly and bring her down slow there will be a point when she just all of the sudden drops the revs and calms down. Other times she just keeps screaming. It will actually gain speed on its own without touching the accelerator. Even shifting to neutral and stomping it to kick it down doesnt always work. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Brakes pulsed when I stepped on them. Took to dealer and said they needed ~$700 to replace front ABS sensors. I said "HA!" and decided to deal with it myself. Took out the ABS fuse and cured the problem, now the ABS light is on, of course. I'd like some tips on replaceing the sensors. Thanks!
