i recently bought a four door 1968 ford fairlane 500 in awesome shape, its been sitting for a while but still runs great. now the only real problem im having with it is the turn signals arent working correctly. they blink ok when the head lights are off, but when i turn the head lights on they stop blinking. with the parking lights on, the passsenger side will blink but not the drivers side. i've replaced all of the bulbs, and the flasher switch. could it be the turn signal switch itself? also the emergency flashers do not work at all. thanks for any help guys and gals!

My S-10 (1994) is about to make me nutz. The windshield wipers work now and again. Sometimes when they don't work, I can hear a buzzing from the wiper motor. When they don't work, the washer does not come on either. I went out a minute ago to go buy a motor, and the fricking thing worked like a charm.

Checked when it was not working, and showed power on the plug going into it.

Motor, switch, what else? (PS, I am not a total dummy, I know a good bit, but don't want to just start throwing parts at it.

Help!

My friend and I were over his house washing our cars and he said the hose water is very hard and has lots of minerals in the water. Hes washed his car a few times using that water and said everytime he washes his car it leaves the car, including the car windows, white and cloudy. I washed mine for the first time using that water and didnt leave it white and cloudy. Is this really the water causing this "Cloudy" appearance? Is there anything to do to prevent it or any product/cleaner that will get rid of it? Thanks.

I'd like to know what LX stands for, and what it means as a trim level on a car (the car in question is a 1995 Ford Fiesta). Can't find it anywhere else. Thanks!

When you turn the key to crank up, a low electrical hum then a continous clicking sound while lights on the dash flicker but no actual cranking (its not like the cranking is taking place but the engine is not firing up- simply no cranking). It became progressively worse (before it would start after a few attempts). From my research either the battery is not charging due to a PCM condition or a bad alternator.

The check engine light has been on with P0051- low circuit in heated oxy sensor Bank2 Sensor 1. Replaced the sensor but the light did not go away, upon erasing the code, came back on with the same error. That research showed that the there could have been a corrosive aspect for a board in the PCM for 2002 sentras and the o2 sensor may be a false alarm.

I wonder if the PCM is indeed the main culprit.

I guess when I first put my license plate on the back of the car, the bolt didn't get put in properly. I had recently moved and I need to change the license plate and I can't seem to take out one of the bolts out. I know this might sound like a stupid question but what's the best way to take this bolt out so that I can put a new license plate on?

1998 Honda Accord with about 100,000 on a great, no-problem engine and I will likely have to pay for the repair if I want it back to pre-accident condition. No witnesses to the accident so insurance isn't too helpful - now I have a smashed up trunk, light, panel. If I repair it, the bill will be about $3,000.

So, should I go ahead and take it to the body shop or shop around for a possibly lower-miles/newer model Accord?

Thanks.

I took my car into a Sears Auto Center Tuesday to get a front end alignment done. Everything went great. The car was really out of alignment, but they took care of it with no problems. I also had them do an oil change on it.
But within less than a week i have had three unrelated problems pop up with my car - and i just find that odd. First my check engine light has been coming on and off over the past few days, yesterday my exhaust pipe broke in two and today my air conditioning quits working. It blows-but blows out hot air. Maybe im being silly, but i just find it quite odd that all of these things would go wrong at practically the same time. Is it possible they did something to my car in order to get me to bring it back and make more money off of me? Or am i just crazy and running through a spell of bad luck?

On uneven ground or most local roads round here ;-) i can hear a 'tap,tap'. I can only assume it's the exhaust moving but my mechanic seems to think not!! Hmm...If not that what?

When I start my engine, when it's cold, I get this high pitch whurring sound from the engine.
It carries on for a bit, but stops when the engine's warm.
It doesn't do it when I start my engine warm though.
It has only just started doing it, maybe a week ago.
I don't know if it will make a difference, but my car is a 1988 Toyota MR2 1.6 twin cam.
Also, if it has gone, does anybody know roughly how much it will take to fix it?
Cheers
