Ford A/C :: 2003 F150 - Blower Motor Stopped Working All Of A Sudden
I've read quite a few threads on this subject and came across the resistor, fuses, and relays. I have some fundamental testing procedure questions.
1. To test the resistor, it says to back probe the brown/orange wire to check for voltage. So I'm assuming I would hook up my positive lead, here?
Do I really need to hook up the black lead all the way to the negative terminal on the battery? Just with a long extension? Or is there somewhere else I can hook the black lead to? (I know, how dumb!)
2. I downloaded owners manual, but I can't seem to find a fuse or relay specifically for the blower, so what fuse and what relay is it?
3. In the Haynes manual, it says locate the blower motor relay, in the relay box under the center dash panel, where the hell is that?
4. Do I need to remove the glove box to access the resistor and blower hosting.
5. Anything else I should know?
Honda - Acura :: 2000 TL All Of A Sudden Stopped Starting - P1607 OBDII Code
I have an Acura 2000 TL. My car all of a sudden stopped starting. I called AAA and the tow truck driver did some repair like thing. The car started after this. He told me, there was a problem with the remote starter or security alarm issue. After that the car starts but the immobilizer light is completely off. It gives P1607 OBDII code. When I looked under the dash, I saw a black button and pressed on it. It gave some clicks and nothing happened. I pressed on it and turn the ignition switch on and off a couple of times and nothing happened. I pushed on the button while pressing on the brake peddle and released within 2 seconds etc. The car has a Code Alarm remote start with two button fob and it was disabled. I don't know whether the AAA driver enabled it causing the immobilizer bypass to actuate to have the P1607 code. The car starts ! What can I do to get the Code Alarm remote start to disable it?

Two weeks ago I had to brake suddenly while driving in town and my A/C immediately stopped cooling although the fan continued to work. I drove it home and the next morning when I started my car the A/C worked fine. It was working fine until yesterday when I was driving and again had to brake suddenly to pull over after taking a wrong turn. The A/C immediately went out again. Only this time the A/C didn't ever start working correctly again.

Its and 09, I can hear a relay click under the dash. It has gotten really hot since i bought it in sept to the point where I had to turn it off because I thought it was going to burn my bottom. I am guessing its not an easy fix.

I have an 08 2.0T and it just suddenly had a huge drop in gas mileage. I recently had new tires put on and an oil change (about 35k miles). getting closer to 40k miles now and wondering what could be causing this. Usually I get about 30-33 mpg easy on the highway. Now I'm getting 24-26 mpg. Already checked the tire pressures. they're to spec. no gas leaks from what i can see.
View 6 RepliesPassat (B7) :: Sudden Acceleration With DSG Transmission
People are complaining about sudden acceleration with the DSG transmission. They had to up the warranty to ten years and fix cars too. After I read that I realized my TDI DSG has this issue but I just chalked it up to my driving. Sometimes when you hit the gas the car jumps B/C it drops a gear when it's not called for. I can't picture VWoA even entertaining this. Does the phrase "operating as designed" sound familiar?

At 30,000 and change I had new tires and they did RVU 17D1/07 Crankcase Breather Valve Replacement recall. Ever since then I have notice a decrease in my MPG.
I was getting around 32 MPG (mostly Highway driving) or about 540 miles on a tank. Now I think i am LUCKY to get 28 or about 480.
Could it be the tires? Or is it something with this recall. I went from the Stock Michenlins to Cooper CS4 Touring. I just think 4 MPG would be alot from a tire change.
Passat (B5) :: No Hazards Nor Directional All Of A Sudden
Wondering if there is a relay for directional and hazards that would die.... I can see that the indicators in the speed/RPM gauge set do light up ever so weakly when I press the levers/button, but no power to the actual bulbs. Where is this relay/fuse?
View 2 RepliesPassat (B5) :: HVAC Control Died All Of Sudden
Yesterday, my wife said she tried to turn the fan control knob from 2 to 3, but there was some resistance. She turned it off, and when she tried to turn it back on, nothing happened. The fan control knob turns as it should, but no fan is blowing, and therefore, no AC. Also, we noticed after dark that the lights inside the HVAC control unit had also died. I was thinking fuse, but checked all fuses related to HVAC and dash lighting and they were all OK.
View 1 RepliesPassat (B5) :: Oil Seems Overfilled And Sudden Loss Of Power
I have VW99 Passat 1.8L Turbo, automatic with 170K on it.
My car shop changed engine oil yesterday with 4 QTS of Mobile 5W40. Now, when I check my dipstick today, on level surface, the oil level is way too high on dipstick kink [the cross-hatched mark]. I run the engine, shut it off, and let it set for 3 min, but still the level is too high above the Mark. It wets the dipstick almost till the top of its Head.It was reading High when I first checked it, this morning, before starting my car.
It seems the oil is 'overfilled' or showing over filled; and the engine is about to throw it out from "filler cap" where Dipstick goes in the engine. I saw him using 4 cans 1 QTS oil, which I bought, into my car. They did change the "oil filter" at the same time?
Now, my car looses power while driving. When I accelerated from a stop/light, car slows down or limps. The car suffered a sudden loss of power.It runs awful for about a mile but smoothed out after acceleration.It feels like the car is running out of gas for a few seconds, then all of a sudden it kicks in. The car still drives ok though - No error messages/warnings on dash,CEL, no smoke, no hissing. I actually don't see engine oil thrown out or leaking though.
I don't know if the shop drained the "intercooler" while changing the oil, also I know nothing about its importance to my power loss issue. The net search manual/states "The engine oil, above the level, can be drawn into the crankcase ventilation system, and enter the atmosphere via the exhaust system". But it does says about damaging the engine/car.
Should I be worried about the damage to the engine?
Passat (B5) :: 2003 - Sudden Loss Of All Coolant
On Sunday my son was driving my wife's '03 Passat GLX 2.8 4motion station wagon when he received a "stop engine" warning and noted the temp was climbing past 250. Good lad that he is he stopped immediately and noted much steam and coolant originating at the rear of the engine. My hope is that it's just a hose since there is no coolant or smell in the interior (just went through the nightmare of a heater core on my '96 Jetta!) We had it flatbedded to our home but I haven't had time to make a further investigation and was hoping for some insight from those here as to how I should proceed in diagnosing/repairing this issue.

Passat (B6) :: Sudden Boost Loss At 4000 RPMs
I just installed a boost gauge and drove the car a little and this is the readings I get. It starts off with 20 inHg and to normal street driving it goes up to 0 and down. However when I pushed it a little, the maximum reading I got was 11-13PSI (High RMP-almost redline). I am a noob in this boost department so Is this readings really accurate or is there something wrong? Recently i had some transmission work done. And since then the gas pedal feels heavier. I was convinced that it is from the new bushings but I feel like this is boost related. Because at 4000 RPM sometimes It suddenly looses the boost (Kick).
View 5 RepliesPassat (B5) :: 2000 - Hard To Get Trunk To Latch All Of The Sudden
OK... '00 Passat GLX 4-Motion. I'm having problems getting the trunk to latch all of the sudden! I can shut it as hard as I want and it just does nothing and the light on the dash stays on, it's that way 99% of the time but every now and then I'll be driving down the road and all of the sudden it will just latch itself! The light goes out and when I get out I have to use the fob or the key to open it again! Is the latch electronically controlled by the BCM? When I physically inspect the latch, the "catch" seems to just be limp. It doesn't seem to be stuck one way or the other... just limp!
View 9 RepliesPassat (B5) :: 2003 - Vibrates While Making Sudden Quick Stop?
So, I had a great time rallying the 2003 1.8t when at some point it bottomed out. Now when driving the car, if you press on the brakes (firmly) the engine vibrates, almost like the idle wouldve droped a little bit... But, if you ease on the brakes (very slow stop) Everything is all good. This vibration only happens when you make a sudden quick stop. What could it be?? Is it idle control? an engine mount? clogged air filter? a vacuum leak? Misfire?. this is not my car, its a freinds.

I have passat 2007 2.0T , about 98000km. A few months ago, my vehicle randomly has hiccup with EPC light when I put on the pedal. Each times i put on the pedal my vehicle hiccups and EPC light on and all goes away when i put off my foot from the pedal. It happened randomly, so i went to vw dealership twice. They keep saying they could not find any problem. Coz as i said it happens randomly. I paid diagnostic fee but still the problem remains.
Unfortunately today i had the same issue hiccup like crazy with epc and engine lights. Also on the highway my baby 2 years old was with me when i drove, my vehicle lost power all the sudden, all most i involved an accident with following vehicle. I started the engine, vehicle moves but with the problem. I feel wheels do not spin properly or transmission randomly. What the problem is?
Passat (B5) :: No AC / Compressor Will Not Click On / Fuse Ok
I have an '04 Passat and my AC did not come on this Spring. I had it checked out and the charge is up to normal on the refrigerant but the compressor will not click on. The compressor fuse is also ok. I have access to a Vag Com that my dad has and I'm wondering if that does any diagnostic test further troubleshooting what the problem might be.
