i have a 99 dodge ram 1500 and basicly when the buttons pushed it feels like a peice of plastic is moving like there is nothing there. and the light on the driver side just kind of comes on when you shut the door or if you tap around it. but the light that shines on the passenger side wont shut off at all no matter how many times its pushed or fooled with.(It stays on even when the dome light is turned to off and the doors are all the way shut)

Is there any way to take the bulb out or some how shut it off so my battery doesnt die?

I was told by the car repair shop that I need to replace the torque strut mount on my 94 Buick Regal 3.8. I tried to do it myself but can not fit the new one in because the rubber on the old one was pushed forward and the engine is sitting about 1/4 to 1/2 inch too far forward. The guy at the auto parts store told me to put the transaxle in neutral and pry the engine back to fit the new strut mount on. If I follow his advice, do I run the risk of messing up anything else that is now relying on the engine being in its current position? Also any advice on tilting the engine back would help.

The story is that someone swiped the front of my new Lexus IS 250 (color is smoky granite metallic clearcoat) and left a few minor-ish scratches. I know it's not too serious, but you can kind of see them, and I don't want to get in trouble.

I'm kind of new at this whole "lease" thing. If I get those scratches buffed out in auto store, is that against the lease contract or something? Will I get in more trouble by doing so?

Thank you for all your help.

Weeks, everytime I brake, the car vibrates alot, and the steering wheel shakes, it doesnt have much of a problem when I am driving at normal, or even higher speeds. Just when I brake, even if it is only at a stop light, It vibrates very badly, does anyone know what that could be ??

Just bought a HOPKINS 7 RV plug and 4 flat wire plug combo. The wires coming out of the back of the plug are as followed. A standard 4 flat wire plug (Brown,Yellow, Green) separate is a larger guage of wire a white (ground) purple, blue, and black.
My truck or trailer has neither electronic brakes on the trailer or control box inside the truck. The only thing I need is for the lights to work on my camper and boat trailer. How do I wire if I don't have electronic brakes. (1998 FORD F-150)
