Q:I have a 1994 GMC Jimmy that keeps blowing the instrament panel and gauges fuse. After the vehicle has warmed up for about a half hour the fuse blows then the transmission won't shift all the gauges go out speedometer and odometer included. When i put a new fuse in it blows instantly. I know that their must be a short somewhere but can u tell me where the most common place might be for that to happen. I have already disconnected the rear defogger.

Most common place is under the dash.

Q:And my truck still want start without jumping that wire

Always double check fuses. A poor connections could be the problem but I would be suspicious of the wiring. If the wires run under the truck, make sure they aren't damaged from debris or rubbing on other components. Try jumping at the relay +. If it runs while jumped at relay +, then you know its a problem before the relay (ign switch wiring, fuses, etc)

Q:I have a 1985 Cadillac Eldorado and I took it to Oil Can Henrys and got an oil change. I started driving home and my car is having problems, my CD pplayer was turning off and on, thelevel ride was flickering and making alot of noise. and it has even stalled with the Service Now light onany suggestions what it might be?BTW: i took the alternator off and had it tested and they said it was still really healthy

Was the car put on a hoist and lifted off of the floor of the shop? If so the tech should have shut off the suspension system before lifting it. There is a switch in the trunk usually on the driver's side.Sometimes this isn't necessary but on cars of that vintage it is always a good idea to look. That would cause your level system to act up because it was trying to compensate for the wheels being off of the ground. The air bags filled up and wouldn't set right until you drove it again.

Q:Electromotive forceconductorsinternal resistancewhat is fuse and its function?

the SI unit of conductance is more commonly the siemens, but mho is also correct!

Q:I just asked a question about my 2006 trailblazer with 48,000 miles. The service engine light does not come on when I turn the key over, neither does the seat belt light. What worries me is that I see a scuff in the dash where the screw is to remove the dash. The car hasn't given me trouble and I took it to chevrolet to have a work up done on it, and it was hooked up to a computer and no warnings came up, but WHY would that light not work? I am guessing somebody has probably tampered with it, and trying to screw me over, but its actually been a marvelous car so far. Chevrolet told me that the light is tamper proof, but I don't see how. Couldn't they just pull it out, or color it with a marker or something? I hate having the wool pulled over my eyes and it pisses me off to think someone would do that.

the light needs to be working because the computer system will not close loop until the circuit is complete. this is true no all the rest of the computer Components. now it might act like its running fine and it might run fine for a long time. but you will not get the emission to pass if you have to have it inspected. and one of the first thing the inspectors looks at.

Q:I have a 1973 vw beetle. My indicators don't work, as well as my fuel gauge and alt and oil lights. The alt or the oil lights don't come even when you turn the ignition. The headlights work so it's not a fuse. Hazard lights still work and show up on the dash. Can you please tell me what it is

Don't discount the fuse idea until you have checked them all, the headlights work off a different circuit. Since you have lost so many functions, check the earth wire between each of the components/lamps. The Beetle uses a brown wire as earth and it is connected to several components before terminating on the bodywork. Is the flasher relay working correctly? they are cheap to replace but new ones look completly different to the original so take a note of which wire goes to each (numbered) connector. This unit too is earthed by means of the clip which fixes it to the body. Please don't attempt to run the car without knowing that the oil pressure light is working The engine will destroy itself in seconds without oil pressure.

Q:E.C.M. stands for electronic control modal

Don't stick wires

Q:I have a 1989 5.0 l camaro that wont start. Ive replaced the starter battery and nothing. Ive also tried jumpstarting the car and still nothing. When i turn ob the ignition switch nothing happens. no sound or click. When i turn the switch on all other components start but the car just wont turn over. Its missing the crank fuse might it have to do something with it? Really need some help pls.

yes crankfuse is really important but start with your fuse box and the nuetral safety switch

Q:I got a new engine put in my saturn about 5 months ago, about 3 weeks after I got the engine put in the power locks and dome light stopped working. The alarm on my car would randomly go off if I set the alarm on it and then about 2 days later they just stopped working. I checked the fuse by my passenger seat, it is fine. I am not sure how to check if the relay is good though. If is not the relay what would be my next course of action?Thanks so much,Jordan

Sumner may be good even though it can also be a twin undertaking. verify the fuse first if that's not it then it would want to be the module that controls the locks, ooops thats not a fuse difficulty,(in basic terms examine the entire script) feels like a twine difficulty that occured even as the mechanic replaced into lower than the hood. might want to be so easy as a floor twine left unhooked. take it back and characteristic them staggering it.

Q:a power surge caused my ups to malfunction, i opened it up and realised a flat like sea blue component/part (i guess it is a capacitor) with no. GNR 20D5GIK blown, I removed the component and powerd the ups and noticed it was working, i would like to know 1. what is the name of that component2. what is its function on the board3. would its absence cause anythingthank you

MASS PRODUCTION through mechanization of the assembly line. Henry Ford produced over 15 million Model Ts from 1908 to 1927. This was the first time in the history of the world that a complex product had been produced in such great numbers in such a short period. This would not have been possible without the assembly line, which Ford did NOT invent (Ransom Olds invented it). Henry Ford perfected it, though. In 1913, he implemented the MOVING assembly line and continued to optimize and mechanize it through the years.
