Grand AM :: 2000 Speedometer Stopped Working /couldn't Gear Up
I have a 2000, automatic Grand Am SE with 161,000KM in her and everything seemed to be working fine but as I was driving it today my speedometer just stopped working and when I try to get her up to second gear she kind of jerks forward.
Also, today when I was driving she couldn't gear up at all, she just went from first to second to third to fourth gear without picking up any speed. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the transmission?
Prius V :: Light Goes On In The Dashboard When Pressed Econ Button
I have both a 2010 Prius and a new v and have just noticed that if you press the 'Econ' button once, the little light goes on in the dashboard. If you press it again, the little light goes off. The same occurs with the 'pwr' button.

I know this may sound trivial but I use this all the time. Saturday morning was listening to a podcast on my phone, 30 minutes later the button stopped working. The car is 18 months old.

I have a 2006 Lexus GS 300 and about two weeks ago the key fob stopped working. I replaced two new batteries and nothing. I read up and found that if you place the fob over the start button and wait for the green light it would start. I have been starting the car like that ever since. Now here is the issue. Yesterday I went out to eat and when I was about to leave it would not start with the key over the button. I did not get a green light, nothing. after trying for about 10 minutes I got it to turn on the electrical system (basically it acted like it started but didn't) all the lights turned on and I saw the Check complete on the dash but the engine did not crank or start at all. Finally I disconnected the battery for 5 minutes and connected it again and was able to get it to start and drive home, now back to the same problem.

Touareg :: Automatic Window Button Stopped Working For Passenger Side
The window control panel on the driver side does not roll down my passenger window, but I can roll down the passenger window from the passenger side control, very strange.
I don't know if I have the window lock on or off, or something..
Santa Fe (DM - 2013+) :: Door Handle Lock Button Stopped Working
Last week out of the blue, the lock/unlock button the driver's side door stopped working altogether. It's not stuck, as I can definitely feel it click when pressed. Also, the passenger side button works just fine. This is very annoying after spending a year without ever having to use the actual key fob.
View 7 RepliesPassat (B6) :: Close Button On Remote For Tailgate Suddenly Stopped Working
I have a 2007 3.6 wagon. Tonight, I opened the tailgate with the remote and when I pushed the button on the gate to close it, nothing happened. The close button has suddenly stopped working. I called the dealer and he told me to push it down by hand. That's fine for now, but I want the button working.
There isn't something I did wrong to get the button to refuse to close the door is there? I am assuming the button is broken and needs to be replaced, unless someone tells me that this is a common problem and there is an easy fix.
Lexus SC430 :: Nav Door Stopped Closing And Seat Memory Button Not Working
Got an interesting electrical issue on my 2004. I'm not sure if the issues are related but they happened at the same time. About a week ago the nav door stopped closing and the seat memory buttons stopped working. When you press the close button the nav screen moves back but the door never closes. The seat memory buttons on the door don't work either but the seat adjustment controls do work. When adjusting the seat position, as the seat moves moves, you hear beeping. It sounds like the same beep that you hear when memorizing a seat position. I checked and tested all the fuses they seem to be good.

View 2 RepliesFord Excursion :: Repairing Electrical Malfunctions - Power Door Lock Button Stopped Working
My power door lock switch in the drivers door stopped working (not the actuator problem, but the actual switch would unlock, but not lock the doors)
I started to research if it could just be simple corrosion and decided to spray the contacts with CRC electronics cleaner. It completely fixed it.
Next, my parking brake light sensor stopped working so I did the same and it fixed it.
I began to research cleaning contacts and found a number of people in the automotive forums who basically spray contact cleaner on every electrical connection they ever touch.
I will do this in the future. The only part I wonder about is if there is something better to spray on them to prevent further corrosion in the future. I used dielectric grease but it would be nice to just spray the thing down. However, CRC does say their electronic cleaner prevent future corrosion.
GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Radio, Low Beams, Rear Defrost Button, Turn Signals Suddenly Stopped Working
2005 Jetta Gli 1.8t. It decided to do some funky things on me today. I has been running perfectly fine up until I went out for dinner.
When I came back to start her up. Everything worked except for: Radio, Low Beams (both) Fogs, windshield wipers/fluid, rear defrost button, turn signals (but hazards worked fine) and the fan for my heater.
What was working, oddly enough are the amber lights, tails and brake lights, all other lights including the high beam, but ONLY in the position when the stalk is pulled toward the driver. (Have to hold it to keep the high beams on).
It's not the battery because my car wouldn't have started at all if that was the case. It's not the alternator because I disconnected my battery and the car ran just fine and never died. I checked all the fuses of the things that went out but nothing seemed out of the ordinary and all of them seemed just fine.
Where to look next or what to do. I have no check engine lights, or any lights for that matter so I have nothing to scan.

View 5 RepliesPhaeton :: Clock Stopped When Switched Off The Ignition?
I am the very proud owner of a (European) blue 04 V10 with around 65k on the clock, having taken delivery in the spring, it's put a smile on my face almost every day that I've driven it. That's the great part! As with all cars I have some niggles, but yesterday my lovely analogue clock stopped (along with the back illumination) at the moment I switched off the ignition following my 5 mile commute to the office. I suspected a fuse, but on checking the fuse plan in the manual, I couldn't work out which one would be responsible. I will shortly begin removing and inspecting fuses, but I was wondering if this had happened to any other members and what fix was required to get the lovely clock going again. One other bit of information that may be relevant is that it was the first morning that I'd used the heated seat and heated steering wheel since buying the car.
Other minor niggle is that the parking sensors have never worked (I suspect a paint job is responsible).

Bought a 2002 F150. NO door button pad, and the guy lost the FOB. I bought a new FOB, but i cant get the truck to go into program mode. Suppose to turn the key on- off, 8 times and horn beeps... I never get the beep. There is a 5 digit code on the card in the glove box, so i assume it came with remote entry. How to check ? There is also a small black box about 1 inch cube attached to windhield infront of thr mirror. Has a blue LED light on it and small wireharness into roof console area. My 2001 did not have this. Is it factory for compass or part of aftermarket remote start or alarm system ? Would something like that disable my ability to program the FOB ?

View 3 RepliesFord 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: How Important Is A Working Tow Haul Button
Never really intended to tow heavy with my truck. But heavy towing seems to have found me. I've been hauling dump trailers to the local demo site and I've been toying the scales at the site between 21,000 and 28,000 lbs (way more than I want to haul, but my boss is a cheap jerk and won't stop loading the trailer until the straps barely make it over the trailer). My intent is to dump the thing right where he loads it next time he does it, as I've asked him to quit putting my wallet and maybe life in jeopardy.
Any way, my tow haul button hasn't worked through any of this. Am I murdering my tranny? The engine seems to grunt through just fine. But I'm worried about the fact that it doesn't down shift to go up hills.
