Recently my brake lights went out. So I changed the brake light fuse and they started back working. HOWEVER, now I dont have any turn signals. When I press the brakes, both of the turn lights come on until I release the brakes. Does anyone have some good sound advice. By the way, Ive looked at the other fuses. Even removed them and replaced them.

While the car was warm I removed the coolant bottle and found no crack and I followed the hose from bottom of coolant bottle and found no leak. All of the coolant I put in the bottle had drained out in less than 15 minutes.

it will start when pushed. When I try starting the motor does turn and I have had the starter checked. it is a dis ignition and there is something in the starting chain that my sorry Hanynes manual just doens't go into detail about, that is keeping the ignition spark from starting. It run ok once it is started. Any sugestions on how to trouble shoot this problem.

Thanks,

I dont like to down shift, i just put it in neutral whenever i want to slow down... Is it more wear & tear on the clutch if i hold it down all the way until i have to brake for the stop, or if i push it in once to take it out of gear, and then push it in again when it's time to brake? Basically does it wear more on the clutch when it's pushed in & out or when its held in?

I have removed the alternator from the mountinjg points in my Merc Tracer and have discovered that the top support bracket and a/c line prevent me from removing it upward and the drive shaft and engine or chassis stop me from below. Has anyone out there tackled this task and if so, which way did you go to get the old one out and the new one in?

Once every few months my car gets broken into in my apartment complex. I had an alarm installed and it still doesn't stop them. I don't keep anything of value in my car so I don't know why they keep coming back. I have a ragtop and they are prying open the window since there is no mold around it and thus prying open the passenger door so now it doesn't quite shut all the way, or at least doesn't look like its shut when it is cuz it sticks out a little. Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what to do. I love m,y apartment and think that moving is a little extreme. Is there any other way to prevent this from happening?

The jeep is five speed and four wheel drive . It appears to bog down when in either first or second gear so that it feels like it is going to stall out. Other than that it runs great .At these times it idles really rough as though it has a bad plug. Could it be some type of sensor in one of the many systems? If so which one and where at ?

Please help!!

I was in an accident on my part. I was planning to switch insurance companies thatweek so cancelled one to use another that i hadn't finalized yet. My car is pretty nice 2004 14,000 dollar red tinted windows fully automatic...V6. I bought the car several months ago and make monthly payments on it. Now the car is sitting in an auto body shop a car behind me slammed into me and my gas tank was smashed in and my rear crashed in and the back window. Other than that it still drives, all wheels on and front 100 percent in tack, but because of gas tank won't open and needs replacement an est. cost for repair is 7,000. What should I do? I can't afford repairs on my own. I realize what an idiot i was to drive without coverage even for a day. Should I just sell my car or to a junk yeard. I'm still making mo. payments on it though. I'm so confused and i have to get it out of lot it is in right now by friday or they will put a lien on it...Yikes......Any advice and useful knowledge ASAP!!!!
