Ford Ranger / B-Series :: 1988 - Press Key Lock To Remove Key - Disable Key Lock?
On my '88 Ranger, there is the key lock that needs to be pressed to remove the key. When I changed the ignition cylinder, I darn near went ahead and removed it. I though I better check here first, and see if I was going to disable some other function I don't know about.

1988 Celica GT Convertible Heater does not work.
AC works. Fan works.
Heater has an automatic control system.
When I move the control from cold to hot the cable to the heater control valve doesn't move.
Could this be a bad heater circuit breaker? I believe this circuit breaker is on the passenger side right side panel.

Celica :: 1988 3SGE - Noise At Start Up After Sitting For A While
When my car sits for a while and i go start it i hear for the first 2 seconds a noise then it goes away until i start it up next time after sitting for a while. It sounds kind of like a diesel.
I pulled the oil pan and checked the bearings they are all fine... to me it sounds like it could be something in the top end because the longer it sits, the oil drains out of the top end and when i start it the oil gets pumped back up to the top and stops the noise....but what is it?
I was thinking of checking the valve caps for intake and exhaust with a feeler gauge to see if there's a gap between the camshaft lobe which would make a noise...but more of a ticking...I am not hearing a ticking though.
Celica :: 1988 Steering Pump Leaking / Can't Find Where It Is Coming From
I am replacing my leaking power steering pump. I checked the hose connections and it doesn't appear that the leak is coming from there. I have removed the right front wheel and have the car on jack stands. It is really tight under there.
If I remove the cross member under the power steering pump will that allow me to get the old power steering pump out and the new one back in?
Will the removal and reinstall of the cross member affect alignment.

Recently, my 1988 Isuzu Trooper began dying at high elevations (above 7,500 feet). I have had the car for ~7years and have never had this problem. That is, in the past, i've been able to drive it up to 9,300 feet with no problem. Could this be vapor lock? If so, why would vapor lock all of sudden start happening? If not vapor lock, what could it be?

View 1 RepliesPhaeton :: Key Stuck In Trunk Lock
My key is stuck in the trunk lock and ...
Can't open the trunk from inside the car because the car thinks the trunk is already open.
Can't open manually - I think the latch is broken.
Can't override the power trunk mechanism with Vag Com.
Short of removing the rear seat to attack this from the inside, is there any way to resolve this?
Passat (B6) :: Trunk Latch Won't Lock
So after the temperature drop .... Next day I opened the trunk to take out my ice scraper and It didn't closed! Warm up the car ... Full speed fans , fold down rear seats to get some heat in trunk area ... 30 min... And nothing. Sprayed some wd40... Nothing !
So I decided to take apart the latch .... Removed liner ...unplug motor unplug manual opener pull wire remove latch and put some white lithium grease... Then when I take it apart found the plastic little gear and internal was pretty dry no kind of any grease inside and it was stuck.
It didn't move so put some grease in all touching areas , gear and latch itself , twist it bunch of times until everything run smooth . Here is the picture of the all mechanism inside. Pretty simple... It's like a retractile pen like. Put everything back together and is working fine for now. Let's see if it work ok from now or I might be buying a replacement part, the new revision which it end in "D"...
Passat (B5) :: Trunk Won't Lock Closed?
Yesterday in the middle of a hot summer day in NY while running errands I drove my car to the post office. I was in there about 15 -20 minutes. After coming out and driving home about 5 minutes I get out of the car click the lock button on my key fob and nothing happened. The doors were locking so I tried the trunk to see if it was open and it was. I then tried to close the trunk and it wouldn't lock closed. The lock wouldn't engage.
I have 79K+ miles so when I get my 80K tune up I guess I'll have them fix that along with the recalls and everything else. But in the meantime I'm riding around with an unsecured trunk. Luckily the trunk is heavy enough so that it doesn't fly open while I'm driving.

My 14' SE i4 locks when the trunk is left open for about a minute. To make things a little more confusing is that the car does not auto lock if the trunk is closed, I know this because when I get to work I never lock my doors. The first time the car locked with the trunk open I thought I must have accidentally hit the lock button on the key, but I have tested this with the key left in the house.

I just purchased a used 01 Jetta GLS. It came with only 1 key and no fob. My key fits the door and ignition but does not seem to fit the trunk or the back seat lock that gives better access to the trunk. The fuel door switch works but the trunk release switch does not (no sound, haven't checked wires yet).

View 3 RepliesSonata NF (2006-10) :: No Power To Door / Trunk Lock Unless Key Is On
Ok so this started with the ignition key cylinder locking and refusing to turn. Some tri-flow, patience and judicious taps of a hammer fixed that issue, but not before i pried apart the plastic cap that keeps the little spring loaded plunger in place that actuates the ding ding when the key is inserted to the ignition. This little plunger has a couple of contacts and is wired to the little green bulb that illuminates the ring around the ignition key. Everything was just fine until i caused an arc between the exposed contacts and the side of the ignition cylinder.
Now neither the fob nor the door switch will lock or unlock the doors or the trunk unless the key is in the 'on' position. It should be hot at all times. What have I shorted out? I checked all the fuses and of course they are fine. My nightmare is that i have messed up an expensive module. I did find the plastic cap and plunger hiding under and behind the heat ducts to the rear seats and put that back together, so there are no exposed contacts, but the damage has been done.
Lexus GS 2006-11 :: 2007 - How To Repair The Trunk Lock
I have a 2007 GS 350 in which the electronic lock that you push on the outside of the trunk to open the trunk has gotten capricious because its external rubber has deteriorated. So I want to change it. The replacement part is readily available at the dealer and the parts guy said it is apparently not complicated to replace. But before doing that I need to remove the carpet padding on the inside of the trunk lid so as to get to the part to replace.
How to do that? There are what look like plastic screws holding the carpet lining in place but unscrewing does not seem to looses them. I removed one by pulling hard on it. Don't want to do the same to the rest in case that is wrong.
Also, it looks like the safety unlock handle and actual lock are obstacles to removing this lining. Do instructions exist somewhere for how to remove this carpet lining off the trunk lid?
Celica :: Front Left Wheel Lock Up While Trying To Move Backward
This morning I went to reverse my girlfriends 91 sx celica out of the driveway only to find that the front left wheel locks up while trying to move backward. At first I thought it was the gear box so I put it in neutral but it still would not budge. The last 3 weeks it has been making bad clicking and banging noises I thought was just a poorly greased control arm. I drove the car down the street and back and it moves freely with a minor constant clicking noise but only while going forward. I'm wondering whether it is in fact the transmission or cv or what?
