View 3 RepliesGMC - Sierra :: 2005 - Blower Fan Would Not Run On Highest Setting
So I have a 2005 GMC Sierra 1500 pickup that is in great condition. Recently, I have noticed that in the mornings on my way to work the blower fan would not run on the highest setting. After a while of driving, the highest setting would then work. This happened for about two weeks. Now, the blower will not turn on at all on any setting. Thought it might a simple fuse, but that looks fine. Should I take it to the shop? Could it be the blower motor that needs to be replaced?

I have read several threads about replacing them with LED's (which is what I am doing), but I cannot figure out how to get that plastic cover out!
I don't want to just start jamming the screwdriver in randomly, as I will probably crack something.

View 4 RepliesCamry :: One Of HID Bulbs On Driver Side Sometimes Won't Turn On
OK, few months ago, I bought a conversion kit from ebay: [URL] ....
I also installed the relay harness thingy as well: [URL] .....
Everything worked out fine for about two weeks, and then problem started. The bulb on driver's side, sometimes would not turn on. It's like it doesn't have enough power to initiate it. I tried with and without the relay harness, same result. If I turn it off and then wait for a few seconds, turn the switch, sometimes it would turn on, sometimes it wouldn't. And this happens to only the driver side and it drives me crazy.
So I guess the ballast went stupid, so i exchanged a new one. Same thing. I tried to switch the bulbs, no better result.
But here is the strange thing, i popped the hood, have someone turn on/off the light too see what's happening. When the light (driver's side) turn on, everything seemed normal. But when it does not, it makes this little buzzing sound for like 1/3 of a second, and a little flash at the transparent wire from the ballast to the bulb.
I mean one bulb is probably brighter than both OEM bulbs, but this is just so annoying...

I have a 2005 V8 with Xenons. I noticed today whilst cleaning my Touareg the headlights have loads of tiny cracks in the lenses. I live in Houston TX, so it's probably caused by the heat.

GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Fixing Headlight Chips In The Lenses?
Just wondering what are the different ways people are going about fixing the chips in the lenses? Mine are getting pretty bad and I was looking into fixing it myself.
Well took peoples advice for what worked and did up the headlights today. I think I didn't do enough sanding so I might do them again in the near future. They look better though I think. I took a few pics as I went for others to see and here they are
What they looked like when I started
The car
After sanding with the 600 grit
after sanding with 2000 grit
and end result
You might not be able to see the change very well but you can in person. A little more sanding next time and I think I will be good. Now time for a few
Touareg :: 2004 - Headlight Lenses More Frosted And Pitted?
2004 v8 55k... For the last year or so both headlight lenses have become more frosted and pitted... have noticed over a period of time that his has substantially dimmed my lights at night.. and that is something with those lights... anyway the local dealer felt they could polish them to like new... they have done this in the past... but after putting in the time we had so so results and they were concerned that if they kept on going at it they would really damage the lenses... I guess my question is... can one replace the lenses without replacing the entire headlamp assembly... I know vw cannot but is there an after market replacement or source for these.

I want to install some LED turn signal bulbs and lights but the flasher will flash twice as quick because of the burnt-bulb detector.
I have taken the flasher apart and tried all the tricks on the book to isolate each pin on the IC and changed the timing resistor without avail. I do not want to put in load resistor on the bulb end to fool the detection circuit.
I want to modify/cut off the detection circuit?
Prius (2004-09) :: A/C Malfunction - Damaging The Battery?
My A/c has been on the fritz for a while, and I've just been dealing with sweating in the Florida summer until I had the money to get it fixed. Now this morning I start my car after getting gas, and it throws the dreaded POA80. My fiance's 2004 HV pack just went bad about a month ago, but her's has 236k miles on it. My 2005 is only at 98k. I haven't heard my HV fan kick on in the back seat at all, but it does seem to be having a hard time charging. Is there anyway the dealer is going to try to say that me not getting my A/C fixed is the cause of my faulty HV battery? Is there any way that that is the cause of the pack going bad??
View 4 RepliesToyota - Matrix :: 2009 - CEL Came On - Gas Tank Is Damaging
check engine light came on. Had the code checked and its the code that comes on whhen you dont tighten your cap. Checked fuel cap and the person noticed that the little spring loaded door that is usually pushed open by the fuel nozzle is gone. So my question is three fold:
1) will this door that is now in my gas tank hurt my car?
2) will this lack of door keep tripping this error code? i live in the Milwaukee area where they check emissions so i cant have that
3) how much is this going to be to fix? I am guessing they can just replace the door or the top part of the fueling system where I put the nozzle in.

View 5 RepliesFord - Crownvictoria :: 1992 - How To Do Oil Change Without Damaging Drain Plug
I have a 92 crown vic. And this past weekend I tried to do a oil change but the drain plug was really tight. So I took it to an oil place to see after I messed with it for over two hours. They did get it out half way, but had to put it back in. They suggested that the drain plug or the the pan is stripped, I even tried to use a cheap siphon hose that goes down through the dipstick and it wouldn't go all the way down. So is there another way I can drain my oil without messing up my oil pan and drain plug?
