Q:i have an 03 chevy malibu and the battery light keeps coming on. I replaced a new battery 2 weeks ago and last week i had a new alternator installed. Should i worry about it or should i bring it into an auto shop to check it out?

For the best answers, search on this site shorturl.im/avYVc Alternator! The light comes on when the battery isn't being charged. The a/c etc, doesn't work until you rev the engine because the alternator isn't pushing out enough voltage/amps.

Q:I take my pixs on manual or aperture priority and usually can get the light that I want, but not the sharpness. I am shooting on Fine and i always try to keep my ISO low if I can, I also remember to white balence for each new environment. Is there something else that i should be doing because I am so disappointed with my shots even though I love the composition.

It would be helpful to see some examples and know what kind of camera you are using. Most people cannot handhold below about 1/30 or 1/40 of a second shutter speeds and have a sharp image. Make sure your shutter speed doesn't get too slow. Also, lenses are not the sharpest at either wide open or the smallest aperture If you are using a dSLR, you probably need to do a little post processing and use unsharp mask to get the optimal image. Consumer digicams apply sharpening in the camera, most dSLRs do not. I agree to do a tripod test. If the picture is sharp from a tripod, then you have to work on your technique. BTW, I don't agree that autofocus doesn't work good. There are instances of course, where autofocus might struggle a bit, but in most normal shooting situations, AF is spot on, especially in a modern camera. It is possible that your AF has a problem, which would mean a repair job, but in general AF systems are reliable and do a great job.

Q:How to check the car lights

To this end, you may need to adjust their own car lights, if you do not intend to open to the 4S shop to adjust, you can also adjust the direction of their own car lights. Specific methods are as follows: the adjustment time, the car can not load too heavy, can not be too light, so that the lights can be transferred more balanced, in a state of load adjustment more appropriate. Owners can according to the instructions in the car manual, with a screwdriver to adjust the height of the vehicle light beam. In general, the right lights should be completely horizontal and direct, while the left lights should be raised up to 10 cm. It should be noted that the lights can not be adjusted too high, so as to avoid the opposite of the car to the driver's eyes. In addition to the height, the width of the light can also be adjusted, it is recommended that the owner of the right car light beam tune slightly to the right, so even in the low visibility of the rain and fog can also see the right side of the road more clearly.

Get a rebuild kit and while your fixing it get a shift kit.

there is not any reset button for the SRS gentle, expensive. there's a reset technique that works for a superb variety of the 940 fashions. in general the SRS lamp illuminates for a reason that's no longer serious, and as quickly as reset, does not reoccur.

Q:I just got this check engine light. I‘m pretty sure my car is well kept.I need to change the spark plugs sometime, according to the maintenance schedule.The only thing I have done different is put in 0% ethanol fuel (no added ethanol) in the vehicle (which I thought was great at the time!). Now, the gas has done pretty well (xD!), but this engine light is on.I read the code and it is p0456, which is associated with emissions. So something between the gas tank and the engine is leaking.Could it be the fuel? Should I just wait and see next time I load up on ethanol % (boooo!) fuel? Should I just change the gas cap and see? Thanks for the help.

Im concerned my dads girlfriends cooking is poisoning him, any advice on how I can get food/cakes etc tested confidentially just to make sure?

Q:It is a 3.0l OHV flex-fuel vehicle.The dealership says its a fouled up injector but they wont show a printout of the computer reading so i cant be for sure. If there is anybody who has same problem or knows the answer I would really appreciate it!

if the light only comes on when you use the e85, that tells me that the sensor that determines the fuel type is at fault or the system tied to it. go to auto zone and ask them to scan for codes, they will do it more that likely and with a greater service than the dealer.

Q:i got a flat yesterday. my boyfriend came and fixed it with the spare that came with the car. its been running fine and no damage could have really resulted from the flat. does the check engine light come on when a spare is on the car??

A spare shouldn't make the check engine light come on, even if it's one of those doughnut spares. It must be a coincidence. Quite a few things can make that light come on. Even a loose gas cap.

Q:ok, I have a 97 Chevy cavalier 2 door 2.2 L, and the cigarette lighter doesn't work. (Which I need to charge my cell phone and run my radar detector). Is there any way I can get that power port to work again? Some way I could run something from the battery through the firewall or something?Thanks in advance!

With all the tech around tis there really not a way to put wipers on rear windows on all sedans, in heavy rain driving in city traffic is when you really need a clean rear window. Your side mirrors are wreaked with rain, they become useless, your back window is basically blind from all the rain,so how do you check the traffic behind you on red lights, stop signs and uncontrolled intersections ? The no.1 collision in city traffic, you guessed it, is rear end collisions. I teach my driver ed students, that every time your foot moves to the brake pedal, or you know you are going to slow down soon, your eyes go to your mirrors, hard to see anything in heavy rain storms, safety is now a monumental factor, vehicles in the flow of traffic and pedestrians scurrying across streets in a rain storm. Come on auto manufacturers, you claim safety is one your large factors in selling new vehicles, well it is time to make them even safer. Thanks Driver ed instructor with many years of experience.

Q:so heres the deal. i got in my car, started it and took off. no warming or anything, and when i tried to back down my driveway my traction light came on. there‘s no ice, so what gives. the car does need brakes and i am replacing them but why the stupid light now. when the car warmed up the brakes acted completly normal. i don‘t get it and the car repair shop wants to charge me close to a hundred bucks just to stick the sensor on it. any suggestions?

First of all it is NOT the fuse. If it was, the light would not come on at all. The way the traction control system works is by utilizing the ABS sensors. When it senses that any of the tires are spinning faster than the others it automatically applies the brakes to that wheel in order to slow it down. That being said I would start by checking the ABS sensors. Is your ABS light on? If not, are all your tires filled to the same pressure? Low air pressure will decrease the size of the tire causing that tire to rotate faster. The fact that it needs brakes could also be the cause. If one of the brakes is grabbing more than another it will fool the system into thinking that wheel is slipping on the pavement. As for taking it to the chop to have them put the scanner on it, don't do it. Take it to Auto Zone, and ask them to do it. They will do it for free. They do this in hopes that you will but parts to fix it there. Get the brakes fixed first before you address the traction control light.
