Prius (2004-09) :: 2005 - AC Works Until Engine Warms Up?

I have a 2005 Toyota Prius and the AC seems to work when the car is not warmed up. After about 5 to 10 minutes of driving the vehicle it does not seem to want to blow cold air. Obviously it works better in the morning then the afternoon but the AC seems to work intermittently. This may be electrical problem?

Ford A/C :: 1997 E350 - Air Works Great Other Than At Idle It Warms Up Some

1997 Ford Econoline HD Club Wagon E350 2wd 250k 6.8l V-10 Factory front and rear air, rear evap is there but all other components were removed from previous owner to use as a work van.

Air works great other than at idle it warms up some, not a real big issue at the moment, and also has a small vac leak somewhere as under heavy throttle or towing any bog will change vents to defrost and floor. not a big deal at the moment.

My issue right now is I was driving yesterday down the interstate air on full blast freezing me real good (awesome at speed on these 100 degree days in NC) and all of a sudden ambient air, no more awesomeness.

I pulled over to take a quick look but was way too hot to sit on the side of the interstate and look further, got the ole girl home and looked at it today.

Compressor kicks on as it should, but all the lines stay the same no condensation, blend door is moving to adjust from any vents the control tells it to.

My question is if it was low on freon the compressor wouldnt kick on at all, and if its up and cycling correctly why aren't the lines becoming cold? the temp door is also working as with the van warm the air will blow hot then when i switch it back to cold it gets cool just not cold, temp of air around blower.

Ford Aerostar :: 1989 - Washer Fluid Motor Works But Getting No Fluid?

1989 Shorty - 3.0

problem with washer fluid - the motor seems to work, but nothing comes out of the tubes...

I know the motor works, cuz there is water all over the engine compartment (near the battery) and down... soaked there...

so, my guess is that the rubber has come off the pump? where is the pump first off, and second, how do I get to all that? - just remove the cowl?

any diagrams or photos would be great!

Hyundai - Sonata :: Heater Sputters After 20-30 Minutes On Cold Start And Lights On Control Unit Go Out

I've stumped the local dealership and their Hyundai Tech Line as well. This is a 2011 Hyundai Sonata with about 50k miles. Also this is my first winter with it so I can't tell you if it's a new issue or if it's always happened in the "cold". This is Northern California so the cold nights are about as low as 30.

On a cold start, after 20-30 minutes the heater sputters out and the lights on the control unit go out. Sometimes it goes back on if I continue driving for 5-15 more minutes; another way for it to go on again is to turn the car off and start it again. The final way to turn it back on (which was discovered the last time it was in the shop) is to gently begin to start the car again (while it's on) and just that slight movement in the ignition cylinder turns it back on.

The sputtering out doesn't actually turn it off completely, just the lights, buttons and knobs stop responding and the heat mostly goes off.

The control unit has been replaced, plugs have been tightened and the ignition cylinder has been replaced.

They've road tested it 3 times and I'm a little tired of having to get a rental car as they claim to not be able to start a new case with Hyundai Tech Line until they have my car.

Golf IV R32 :: Intermittent Wiper Speed Only Works On Low

The wiper-speed selector (aka: the little switch on the top of the right stalk) does not seem to influence the frequency in which the wiper activates on intermittent mode.

Lowest setting: 5 second interval
Highest setting: 5 second interval.

This is strange as it was working a week ago

Specifically any fuse for this function? Or is there a specific relay that takes care of this action?

Ford - Explorer :: 2001 - Wiper Only Works With Washer Cycle

My son just got a 2001 Explorer Sport. Among the minor issues that need taken care of is an interesting situation with the wipers. The wipers only function when you press the wash button. It operates fine with wash, it parks fine after wash cycle. However, I get no response from any settings in the normal wiper switch. Where to start looking? Bad connector? Switch? It does have a tilt wheel, wire pulled out of connector?

Jaguar - Xj8 :: Windshield Wiper Turns On / Works For About 30 Seconds Then Stops In Mid-stride

Windshield wiper turns on, works for about 30 seconds, and then stops in mid-stride. You then turn off the wiper, then turn it back on, and it works for about another 30 seconds. Intermediate does not work, slow speed starts and fast speed starts, but they only work for about 30 seconds, stopping in any random wiper arm position. (When set on intermediate, slow speed works, again for about 30 seconds.) What do I fix, the control arm on the steering column?. The motor is working, the wiper arm is working, just the brain has "a mind of its own".

Hyundai - Accent :: 2002 - Motor Runs But Rear Wiper Doesn't Move

During recent cold/ice spell, went to use my rear wiper and heard a pop (there was ice around the wiper base), then the wiper was flipping all over the place. Now I can hear the motor running but the wiper doesn't move. Plus, I can easily move it around by hand - no resistance. Do I have to replace the whole motor or is there possibly a gear or linkage between the motor and arm that stripped or popped away, so that can be fixed? 2002 Hyun Accent.

Passat (B7) :: Windshield Wiper Fluid Not Shooting Out

My latest issue is not having wiper fluid shoot out of the dispenser units to the wipers. I think it may be frozen, but the weather has only gotten warmer since it worked last.

What's odd is that, even if frozen, I would think one side might work and the other would not, but neither works. I can hear the pump trying to squirt it out, but nothing.

I would rather fix it myself if I could. I have already taken the car to the dealership four times in the last month (steering rack 2X, catalytic converter, lower vent not working)....

I did top it off with fluid last night, but there was/is already plenty in there.

Prius C :: Wet Spot Underneath The Car - Wiper Fluid Leaking

2012 Prius C

Starting a few days ago, I noticed a wet spot underneath the front-right of the car.

Turns out, I'm losing wiper fluid. I fill it up to the top, watch it for several minutes.. it doesn't move. Pull off, come back 5 minutes later and I've lost nearly half the tank... so it's leaking, or at least leaking worse when the car runs by way of something calling for it or the movement of the car.

Phaeton :: Wiper Fluid Reservoir Overflow Or Broken?

I was filling my wiper fluid reservoir and could not fill it to the top. After going throiugh a full bottle of fluid, I noticed it was spilling from underneath the car. I assumed it was an overflow, but later realized that this would make no sense as windshield fluid doesn't freeze, at least not for most of the world, and needs nowhere to expand to.

Now I have to start pulling pieces off the car to see if the tank is broken. I'm guessing I'll need a service manual to find the best way to get to it. If it is broken, how the heck would it have happened? I've only had the car for a few months, so I don't know its history. No accidents though.

Prius (2004-09) :: Leakage In Wiper Fluid System

My 04 has a leak in the wiper fluid system, after running the wipers with fluid, the reservoir leaks and goes bone dry. The rear window never receives any fluid but the windshield receives its normal amount with no noticeable drop in pressure.

Here's the weird part, there are no visible signs of a leak. I poured 3 liters of water and watched it all drain, but there was no water underneath the car. My car is sitting on a slight decline in the garage with the nose slightly higher than the rear of the car.

I pulled the reservoir out and it is not cracked, the leak appears to be somewhere else and it seems to be collecting. I even moved the car and didn't see a puddle of water. What might be happening or where I can look to find anything? I haven't taken it to the dealer and would prefer not to....

Santa FE SM (2001-06) :: Where Is The Fuse For Windshield Wiper Fluid

I have a 2004 hyundai sante fe. None of my windshield washer fluid is spraying on my windows, front or back. I think the fuse to the windshield fluid might be broken so I opened up the fuse box but I can't find a fuse that says it's for the fluid.

There was one that said, I think, "Windshield" but it was a big gray little box it doesn't look like the rest of the fuses. I tried to pull on it but it wouldn't really budge and I didn't want to keep trying because I don't know what it is.

Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: Windshield Wiper Fluid Not Coming Out

I have a 2007 Santa Fe & in the past every time the temp got below 32 my windshield wiper fluid would not come out. We put in the fluid that does not freeze. I brought it in and they just told me the nozzle had debris in it and nothing else was wrong. Next week same thing. Now when I go to put the fluid on the front windshield all I get is the wipers running & no fluid and at the same time the back wipers come on, but no fluid, which never happened before. Back wipers are separate from the front.

Touareg :: Rear Wiper Always Sprays Washer Fluid?

How do I turn on the rear wiper without it spraying the window with washer fluid? I've followed the instructions in the manual for using the rear wiper, but very time I turn the wiper on it sprays the window with washing fluid. I don't need washer fluid sprayed on the window if the window is already wet from rain.
