I am not a mechanic, but this is in regards to a 1994 Chevrolet Corsica with
a 6 cylinder engine that has 138,000 miles on it, is still in very good

OK to do this? by
j
The electric radiator fan quit working on my 94 Chevy Corsica 6 cylinder. In
order to test the fan I thought I should unplug the 2-wire plug from the
sensor that is screwed into the block and jumper the 2 wires together at the
plug to see if the fan comes on. Am I on the right path with this? (I...

Ford headlight assembly question by

I am looking for a used headlight assembly for a 1988 Ford F-250.
Does anyone know if other years of Ford pickups are interchangeable with the
1988? Are they all the same for F-150, 250, and 350? Will a Bronco headlight
assembly fit an F-250?

What is the purpose of a bypass hose? by
j
On a 94 Beretta with a 6 cylinder engine there is a radiator bypass hose
going from the water outlet to the coolant reservoir that runs hot coolant
into the reservoir. Will someone please tell me why the bypass hose is
there? I see no need for it but I know it must be there for a purpose.
Thanks.
