Camry :: Solara 2006 - Audio Fades In And Out / Defective Switch

My audio fades in and out, Solara 2006 convertible. This is caused by defective switch - when the top comes down, it activates a switch to increase the audio volume to compensate for the increase noise from the wind.

How do I remove the right rear inside side panel? The switch is back there. I figured out how to remove the rear seat, I just can't figure out how to remove the side panel?

Accent LC (2000-05) :: Power Windows Failure - Window Stuck In Down Position

In May the driver's side window mechanism (motor + "window regulator" are the primary parts) self destructed on my 2002 Hyundai Accent and left the window stuck in the down position. Since the car only has 35,000 miles on it, and since I live in a cold climate and didn't lower the windows much, I concluded it was a manufacturing failure.

So rather than spend about $700 to have the mechanism redone, I elected for 1/10 as much money to have a body shop remove the mechanism and wedge up the window in the up position permanently with blocks and screws. Since I was told by a couple of mechanics that this type of failure occurs in other vehicles, I was still sticking by Hyundai and planning to buy another one 3-5 years from now.

But I have been forced to change my plans. Today (in September) the passenger side window mechanism self destructed and, once again, left the window stuck in the down position! Naturally, I am going to have the same solution applied to the passenger side window now. As a result of this (and an unbelievable brake problem that I don't have time to get into) I have been forced to change my mind and can no longer support Hyundai.

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: M Position On Gear Shifter And 5-position Switch

Well I read most of the 2011 manual last night to find out why I have "M" on my gearshift, & found it near the end...so we can manually shift our gears. So I normally drive in D, and I use the tow/haul switch when trailing...so under what circumstances does the normal person need to manually shift through 5 gear positions using M, and the 5-position switch?

Ford Excursion :: Cruise Control Will Not Work / Deactivator Switch Is Open Or Circuit Defective

I bought a 2002 Excursion 2wd V10 at an auction with 105,000 miles. I've been working through the little problems and I'm down to one last small item.

The cruise control will not work. I found a thread to diagnose the problem. My diagnosis is:

After doing the self test I received: 3 flashes - deactivator switch is open or circuit defective.

What does this represent and what shall I do to correct it?

Saturn - Vue :: 2005 - Outlets Only Deliver Power When Ignition Switch Is In On Position

There are two 12V power outlets inside my 2005 Saturn VUE. They always have power available, whether the car is on or not. I'd like to change that. Is there an easy (or somewhat easy) way to make it so that the outlets only deliver power when the ignition switch is in the on position?

Ford 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: Dash Lights Not Coming On When Position The Switch Into 4x4 High Or Low

When I position the switch into 4x4 High or 4x4 Low the dash lights do not come on. Also, I have a vacuum leak at both hubs.

I tested the vacuum lines from the ESOF solenoid (or whatever it's called, the box on the fender where the vacuum lines originate) and I don't have any leaks in the lines. I put the Mighty Vac straight to the back of the hubs and I definitely have leaks at both hubs.

So, why am I not getting the light on the dash, and why do I have leaks at the hubs? FWIW, I replaced both wheel hub assemblies in March, and everything worked fine at that time. I'm hoping the yellow o-rings are still good. Is there a chance I lost torque on the four bolts behind the hubs causing a failed seal? Is there a seal on the outside of the hubs that could've failed?

Camry :: 2007 - Windows Sticking In Up Position

My '07 CE's windows are sticking badly in the up position. When I hit the button to lower them, especially the front windows, they make a loud POP. The passenger one even stalled out because it was stuck so bad, so I carefully pushed out on it and then lowered it to free it.

I do not roll my windows down often (maybe once every 2 weeks in the fall/winter/spring), but I've never had this problem on any other cars.

I have cleaned the windows (they had a black line on them from where they were stuck), and I put a very light coating of white lithium grease on the black rubber where it was sticking. I think this is working good.

The sticking point is at the top, and it sticks on the inside of the window where it makes contact with the rubber.

Santa FE SM (2001-06) :: All 4 Windows Stopped Working In Down Position

03 santa fe... During a stereo install the door panels were off and somehow we found a way to screw up the window switch. (the good new's is the stereo sounds awesome) and I can't pass it back onto the installer, he's my brother

all 4 windows stopped working, and of course, they are in the down position which complicates things just a bit

I checked the fuses but they seem ok at least on a visual, although I haven't eliminated that all together the likelihood that its a fuse, or multiple fuses is moving to the bottom of the list.

The window switch, it looks ok on a visual, anything obvious that I can check or look for ? No loose or crimped wires that I can spot.

If the switch itself somehow got fried I can get a replacement, but I'm hesitant to just go out and buy one right now (75ish + ship) and get it in the mail, to get the ball rolling, and god knows what the dealer would want for the part locally. I'll also check local salvage yard to see if at least I can get the part faster if it comes down to that.

Maybe when the new speaker wires were fished through the flex boot we disconnected or loosened the connector under the dash that goes to the switch ?

Ford Excursion :: Ignition Switch Stuck In Off Position

None of my 4 keys will operate my ignition switch.

It's stuck in off position. Steering wheel is not locked and I have pulled pretty hard on it to see if I could get the ignition switch to turn.

I have a new switch on the way but I have to get the old one out and don't know how to get old one out if I cannot turn the switch to on position.

Windows - Mercedes-benz - C-class :: 1974 - 2 Power Windows Are Not Working?

I have a 1974 Mercedes 280 C. Two of the power windows no longer work...the driver rear (stuck down) and the passenger front (stuck up). The problem started with middle console switches...the right bank (passenger controls) the small chrome surrounding piece popped off and caused the switches to get stuck then fall apart. I was trying to put them back together and got a spark...ooops car was on and i was using metal tweezers...then the rear driver side no longer worked??? others work. Do the switches need to be replaced or is it a bigger electrical problem. Checked fuses...all fine.

Golf V R32 :: Sunroof Opened Randomly With Switch In Closed Position

My sunroof opened on the highway today with the switch in the closed position. Being a Seattleite, this could create a very wet condition in the cabin! I have owned the car for two years and have never experienced this before.

Golf V R32 :: When Headlight Switch Is At Off Position HID Came On When Release Hand Brake

I went test drove a R32 today and I noticed when the headlight switch is in the off position, the HID came on when I release the hand brake, is this normal? I thought the DRL suppose to be the inner two halogen lights not the HID. This way, having a switch is kinda pointless except to turn on/off the the instrumental lights because you have the HID on whenever you release the parking brake, doesn't matter if the switch is in the off position or the on/lowbeam position.

Ford - F250 :: 1981 - Three Position Switch (off / Slow / Fast) Not Working

Three position switch (off/slow/fast) not working. Bought a new switch and have same problem. The SWITCH OFF position gives very slow wiper movement. The SWITCH SLOW and SWITCH FAST position work OK. The only way I can turn off wipers is to high-center the switch between positions. But it won't stay high-centered very long. Is this a wiper motor problem?
