Passat (B5) :: Fan Would Not Stop / Making Different Noises And Battery Died
I have a 2000 VW Passat V6. Last night when I got home I noticed that the fan wouldn't stop and it was making a different noise than usually (ocasionally when I get home the fan keeps running for several minutes which seems to be normal, but yesterday the noise that was coming from the fan was different). Today the battery was completely dead.
I've been reading different forums, and it looks like it can be either a problem with one of the fans, or fan relay. How can I diagnose the problem?
Passat (B6) :: 2008 - Radiator Fan Will Not Turn Off - Battery Died
My radiator fan didn't turn off tonight. Used to Audi's I didn't think much of it as they often run after car is off. Battery died later tonight. The fan will not turn off.
I tried pulling the fuses listed for the fan and it didn't turn off after I got home and would not drive the car anymore. Car sat for 3 hours when the battery died, so it was not a heat issue.I had to disconnect the battery to stop the fan and enable me to start the car again. How do I stop the fan with a fuse/relay so I can use the car until I get to the dealer? 2008 6MT
Passat (B5) :: 2002 - Battery Replaced Twice In A Month And Died Again
I've got a 2002 Passat 4cyl whose battery has been replaced twice in a month and died again today. I drove it for 30 minutes yesterday and found it dead about 24 hours later. Putting an ammeter in series with the ground cable, I only see a 10-20 milliamp draw with the car closed and locked. With the car running, I see 14 volts across the battery terminals, so I'm assuming the alternator is working.

View 3 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: Installing Remote Start System?
I'm getting a remote start system for Christmas and I'm looking at how to do the install myself. I know you need a bypass and an extra programmed key for the system to work. This is my problem, My car only came with one switchblade key so I would have to get one made. Basically if I do an immo defeat on my ecu which is tuned (not sure which company a po did it), will I be able to do the remote start without having to use a bypass and spare. Essentially if I do an immo defeat, in order to start the car they key would not have to be programmed, just laser cut, correct? Is it possible to do an immo defeat with vagcom or do I have to get a tuning company to do it. The car is an 01' gti AWW for reference. I'm planning on going gonzo stage 2+ in the Spring so I'm thinking about just waiting until then and getting the immo defeated with that, if it works with the remote start.

Ford Audio/Video System :: 2004 - Installing 4 Speakers?
I recently picked up and installed an OEM head unit for my 04 F350 XL SC/SB. This truck came with a basic AM/FM head unit and 2 front door speakers. Im not looking to do anything crazy, but now that I have a better head unit than just the AM/FM one I would like to wire in 2 more speakers in the rear doors. The rear doors already have the spots to install speakers, but I am assuming I will have to run wiring to the new head unit.
Will I have to find another plug to go from the new rear speakers to the head unit or is the single plug that is now running the radio have extra spots to accept 2 more speakers? This is the stock head unit. This is the better stock head unit
Prius (2010-12) :: Installing A Second Traction Battery?
Purchased a second traction battery and installed it in parallel with the existing battery? Perhaps one from a wrecked Prius.
I'm thinking that would double the Ev range, which would be very handy in my current commute due to long term construction on one of the highways I use. I am in sub-5 mph stop and go so long each day that I wear down my battery and the ice ends up running while stopped, thus killing my hypermiler goals.
Toyota :: 1993 - Installing Thermostat On Custom Built Coolant System?
I purchased my 1993 Toyota from someone who modded a bunch of stuff in the engine, including putting in a header, taking out the Catalytic convertor, removing the A/C compressor and moving/rewelding different pipes (including the cooling system pipes).
Anyway, I've noticed that it's heater has never worked, and I just figured I needed to replace the thermostat. In the stock engine, you need to drain the coolant system, and then remove the bottom radiator hose. I did that, and discovered that when he welded the new coolant pipes on, he failed to put in mounts for a thermostat, and there was no thermostat there. Is this fixable at all, or am I stuck without a thermostat (and heating in the winter?)
Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: Warning Light Still On After Installing New Battery
A couple of times this winter my 2007 Santa Fe with a 3.3 engine acted like it didn't want to start. I thought battery! However, it stopped doing that, and I kept driving it.
On the way home from work, I noticed the ESC Off light showing, so I pushed the button and it stayed lit. Then I noticed the battery warning light lit. Made it home and pulled into the garage. Turned off the engine and tried to start, no go.
I have changed two batteries this year in my two other Hyundai's, so I just pulled it and got a new one. Installed the new one, started the engine, and the battery warning light is still lit. Must be the alternator.
I have 68k on the vehicle, so I counted myself lucky that the battery lasted that long. I guess I am due for a new alternator too.
What are the chances that it is just the regulator? Can I safely drive to and from work then to the dealership. Round trip is 30 miles.

I've replaced all 8 of my truck's injectors in the hope of curing a rough idle and high long term fuel trims. How long should it take for the ECU to adjust all the fuel trims to account for the new injectors? Or is it best to disconnect the battery for 30min or so in order to reset the ECU and allow it to learn trims from scratch?

Well after install many of stero's,wiring phone system,etc I though I could install powerlocks on my 07 f150 xl.
I have a basic understanding on how this alarm works but I have a few questions. First her is the diagrams I have to look at. [URL] ....
Like I said I have installed the power locks in the door panels but I do not know how to hook them up the the brain. Do i use relays? or do I just connect a lock wire and a unlock wire to the lock motor? If I do use a relay do Can i daisy chain the unlock output and the lock output?
Once I can get that figured out I just wire the rest of the brain up to the information I have for the wiring diagram for my truck. 12V to the ignation, Find lights,etc...
Prius (2004-09) :: CD Changer Beeps And Doesn't Work After Installing New Auxiliary Battery
I bought a new auxiliary battery online and installed it. I reset the driver's side power window. But my CD changer now beeps four times, all the lights turn green and orange, and I cannot play a CD from the changer or eject any of the discs. Both discs currently stuck in it are store bought Third Eye Blind CDs with no stickers, labels, etc.
I'm assuming that the CD player needs to be reset. Someone in another thread mentioned unplugging the battery for 20 seconds, while someone else said I need to enter a code that I can get from the dealer. I can go without the changer but the beeping is maddening.
Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Installing A Rear View Mirror Gps System With Built-in Backup Camera On 2011?
I am looking to install a rear view mirror gps system with built in backup camera on my 2011 Corolla S. I have been searching for various different types and so far I have found these two links which look to be suitable.
will the wireless camera work good or is it better to get a wired one? Sounds like the gps system included maps for Canada & US. I am not sure if the camera will fit properly on this car or will it stick out. Also whether running a wire from the mirror to the camera will be challenging.

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: Installing HIDs Headlight Fuse Blew - Now Battery Reads 11.9V?
In an attempt to install HIDs on my 2013 f150 screw 4x4 I hated them and I broke my truck. I blew a fuse for the left headlight which I replaced.
My battery now reads 11.9v, I have no dash or radio lights and my truck won't even attempt to start. I can't exit park either. My door locks inside the vehicle work but my remote is useless. My headlights and dome lights work but that's it light wise.
Is my battery just too low and needs to be "reset"? If not my battery does it sound like a main relay or the body control module or similar?

View 6 RepliesPhaeton :: System Failure Appeared On The Display, Car Died
I have an 05 V8 and was just on my way home from work driving on the expressway when suddenly my Phaeton completely and instantly died. It was running completely fine and then everything turned off and "system failure" was on the display. I coasted in neutral off the expressway and was able to come to a stop and place the gearshift in park but the key is completely unresponsive and I can't get the gear lever to move out of park. I'm guessing I'll need to get it towed to the dealer but I don't know how it can be towed in park. I have a VAG-COM so I can go up and run a scan but it it currently parked in a vacant lot and I need to get it moved quickly.
