Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Replacing Parking Brake Cable?

How to replace the parking brake cable from the pedal down to the connector on the frame? We got a 2000 F350 in the shop with a bad cable, and i never did one. And I don't really want to mess this thing up trying to figure out how to change it.

Prius (2004-09) :: 2005 - Triangle Warning / Check Engine And Brake Lights Came On

My 2005 Prius with 116K on it has been having some uneven acceleration lately and today the Triangle warning light, the check engine light and the brake light came on at the same time. I had about 1/2 mile to go, so I proceeded slowly and called the dealership which had performed a routine oil chg two days ago. They said that if the lights weren't flashing then I could drive it. They recommended that I take it to AUTO ZONE and put it on the analyzer. This elicited these codes: P3019: no definition and P0A80: replace Hybrid Battery.

I have an appointment in 2 days and I'm wondering about a salvage HV battery since the car is 7 yrs old and over 116K miles.

Prius (2004-09) :: 2005 Not Starting After Replacing 12 Volt Battery

My Prius has 150k miles on it. We didn't drive it for a few days and when we went to turn it on,it wouldn't work. We were able to jump start it a couple of times, however after that we ended up having to replace the battery. We purchased it brand new from toyota. Then, the car wouldn't do a thing (No sounds, no lights, other than the red amber power button and the flashing check engine light, which was not on before.) We ended up having two blown fuses and we replaced them today, one was for the battery.Now the lights are on, but the car still won't start. It will cost over $200 to have the car towed and I am really trying to avoid that right now. I don't know much at ALL about cars. but I'm trying.

Prius (2004-09) :: Died After Replacing Front Brake Pads / Can't Start Afterwards

I replaced the front brake pads the same method as a traditional car. (Popped out caliper. Pushed piston in. Put new pads in). I did not pump the brakes after installation (forgot to do so).

I drove off to test drive. A block later as I approached a stop sign, I smelled something similar to burning brakes (this might have been some of the oil I spilled when I added oil just before I left). Went to the next stop sign 100 yards away and was able to stop. Made a slow left turn and MFD displayed a warning and ABS (and maybe other ones too) light came on. I pulled over. I don't remember if the car shut itself or if I turned it off.

Now, I can not get the car started. Had car towed home with wheel lift tow truck.

Tried the following:

- Press brake, push Start: Car appears to power up then shuts down immediately. Lights appear on dash, then go out. The squares around P,N,D,R,B are the last ones to go out.

- Press start to go into ACC mode: Radio and clock power up without problems. Pressing start again results in same symptom above.

- Tried to read code with ODBII scanner: all I get is "ERROR". Appears that it's not linking.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2005 F350 - Parking Brake Cable Removal

I'm working on an '05 F350 King Ranch dually, and I'm pretty sure the pb cable is stretched. I recently replaced the shoes in the pb assembly and adjusted the tension while I was in there, but it still barely holds. My next culprit sounds like a stretched cable, and I have a complete set for a new one, but I'm having a hell of a time getting the old one out. The link that holds the front and intermediate cables together won't pry open with any tool I have, and I've broken two drill bits trying to drill out the nub holding the front cable in.

Touareg :: Replacing Center Brake Lights At The Top Of The Hatch

What is the "type" of these dual filament lights and the proper way to access /change them? Do you pull off the lense from outside the vehicle or remove the inside trim at the top of the hatch and access from the inside??

Since only 1 filament is used can I simply reverse them to the used /non burned out filament or do the bulbs have pins on there sides that prevent that (like a 1157)??

Toyota - Solara :: 2005 - Replacing Struts Cause Brake Failure

I just replaced my Toyota Camry Solara 2005 Front Struts on Thursday to pass State Inspection. On Friday we had a mild snow storm(2 inches) and when taking a turn, the brake didn't work properly and the tires slipped and my car went over the curb and hit a pole. I was going at about 30 mph. My tires are a little old but since they passed the inspection on Thursday I'm guessing that they weren't that bad. My question is did replacing the struts have anything to do with this or was this just my distracted driving...

Prius (2010-12) :: Emergency Brake Cable Clanking / Slapping Noise

While the emergency brake was set, I happend to lean against the rear driver side of the the car and was surprised to hear a clanking, slapping noise coming from underneath the rear of the car; seemingly near the left rear wheel. What I think I'm hearing is the emergency brake cable (I assume this is a rear wheel cable brake) slapping against the vehicle frame or wheel axle. Even opening and closing the rear passenger door caused the cable to slap against the car.

This got me to experiment a bit, so I rocked the car back and forth and side to side. It's the side-to-side movement that causes the noise. The emergency brake works when set. The noise disappears when I release the emergency brake.

Prius (2004-09) :: Brake / ABS / VSC Lights Came On?

No reason, just came on this morning on the way to work. Driving at my lunch brake it 'fees' like the ABS and traction control isn't working...

I had a wheel sensor replaced 6 months ago when all the dashboard lights came on during a rainstorm.

Could this be another sensor...or maybe one that needs cleaning, going bad, etc.

I'm fairly handy with a wrench, but where to start?

Prius (2004-09) :: Brake / Triangle / ABS And VSC Lights Came On

Recently while pulling into the gas station the brake, Triangle !, ABS and VSC lights came on. The dealer reset the error and said my ECU needs replacement at a cost of $1843. The Prius is a 2005 with 147000 miles. No problems since the reset so I am hopefull. I don't recall reading about a lot of others having to have expensive ECU replacements so I wonder how many have had similar problems and replaced their ECU.

Prius (2004-09) :: Replaced 12V - ABS, VSC And Brake Lights Came On

Just replaced 12 volt battery from a dealer nearby. Got it in OK, but my "!", ABS, and VSC and Brake lights are still on. Pads and shoes look fine. Is there a reset button or mode for these lights. I was under the impression that the display voltage test of 9 volts (dying battery) was causing the lights to come on. Just want to make sure there is no reset on the lights (like after an oil change) before I move on to other testing or the mechanic. The other symptom I've had along with these lights is the yellow arrows coming from the battery don't stop when I come to a stop. I have to put in neutral or park to get them to stop not matter how hard I press on the brake. This happened a couple years ago, along with the lights above, but went away. I wrote it off at the time to a bad connection somewhere.

Prius (2004-09) :: Brake - Triangle - ABS - VCS Lights Came On?

Just bought 04 prius. Anyhow fast forward to yesterday and I am driving home and notice the Brake light, (!), ABS, VCS lights come on. I read a couple forums about bridging pins 4,13 to get codes and this is what I have. (!)69, 57 ABS 42, VSC 45

I tested the battery and it was 13.8 V on and around 12.3 or something off. I felt around where the inverter pump is and it feels like there something going on in the middle hose. I tried to look in the reservoir but honestly I couldn't get it pumping when I had the hood up so I couldn't confirm movement in the reservoir.

I reset the codes (stomping on brakes 8 times) and it went away until I started driving home again today and they;re back. I added a file the is the sounds I hear when pressing the brakes. Truthfully I hear this all the time when I turn off the prius. I just noticed though that when I hit the brakes I hear it now. In the sound file you hear a pause when I press and release the brake pedals and reapply.
