How are the brake lights activated? The high level stop works but the brake/rear tail lights are not operating. Had them flash once while I was testing to see if anything was working. I know it is possible that both lights are burned out but filament looks good.

Hello! I've found that you can buy remote starters which have a low-temp sensor that will turn on if the temperature falls below a certain point. I am wondering if anyone knows if there are any companies which sell a starter with a HIGH temp sensor? (go on if temp rises above a...

I was inspecting my exhaust manifold after I received P0420 and P1457 codes on my 98 Accord. One of the nuts is missing and the bolt has been sheared-off from one of the connecting points between my manifold and engine.

The inner sleeves of some of my 91 Civic's control arm bushings are seized to the bolts. Many posts on Usenet say to use either a die grinder or angle grinder. Is the only difference between the two that the die grinder can get into much smaller places? Which in fact I probably need for...

'06 Isuzu SUV, 4wd, 2.7 V6 critique I had to go to Dallas again last week. My choices at Budget were a Jeep Liberty or an Isuzu SUV. I chose the Isuzu because it looked nicer and had more knobs. It was really weird in that it was made for people with very short legs and really long arms. I did...

OK.... in the ongoing saga of my water pump replacement I found out the Sears Hardware no longer sells stud extractors (or at least the one close by to me doesn't sell them). Searched online and found 3 alternatives.... the old fashioned offset cam, one that looks like a deep well socket and the...
