Q:hey! i have a music man 112 rd 50 and have problems to go with it, im not sure what the issue is but heres what she is doing. when i turn her on i have to turn the volume all the way up to get sound (at least 6 to 10) and then the sound is very muffled and clips in and out, it is not reaching anywhere near the volume it should, ive changed the fuse (it was not turning on at first fixed that) i have also changed the preamp tube and other tubes, they all work fine as far as ii can tell (there new they better be) any idea what may be going on??

The tip connector of the jack is commonly spring loaded - but that means the spring looses tension, it won't contact your cable properly. Replacing the jack is the very best solution, however you may be able to dig into the jack with a really small srewdriver and rebend the tip connector to make better contact.

Q:I'm currently in the market to purchase my first washer and dryer set for my family of 4. We are looking to spend no more than $1,500 on a complete set. What are your recommendations? Obviously we are looking for longevity in the set. We do between 4-6 loads per week. Thanks for your help!

I have very good and long time performance from Sears Kenmore washer and dryer products!

Q:I have a house for sale that has a window unit in the living room. The air has been running fine all summer until just the past few days. As soon as the fuse is changed, the air will run maybe 30-60 sec and then will blow the fuse. We recently had the house treated for mold and not sure if the moisture could have anything to do with it??

there must be another large appliance that is on the same circuit. Check all the places the mold guys went to and see if they unplugged something and move the plug to another recepticle. Next time fuse blow tour the whole house to see what else is not working especially the basement/attic/storage areas

Q:I am replacing it in a UPS back up energy for my computer.please if you dont know dont answer, dont guess.

Theoretically speaking yes you can. Would it work yes it will. Will it be a healthy system I believe not. The reason is: A 5 AMP fuse can absorb more current spike before it blows up then a 4 AMP fuse. There fore it will blow up much later then the 4 AMP fuse which might cause the breakdown of your system. Another good reason why I would recommend against it is: Your circuit resistance and all electromagnetic properties are well calculated with in the original engineering of the system. If you change a component in this case increasing the AMP on a fuse will cause an increase in the resistance of the circuit. Now depends on what the circuit does and what it sets out to achieve, that change will definitely change the way the circuit transfer current and voltage.

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:ABS dash board lights comes on. break pedal funny feeling. Took it to the garage and all the did is take out the fuse and told me not to worry about it. And everyone that I've talked to says the same thing. I drive around with my son in this truck. What is ABS and why don't people want to fix it the right way. I don't mind spending the money. I also mantian my truck to what the book says.

Well abs is air brake system. When you brake with abs, your brakes grab and then slip off then grab.until you stop. When the abs light is on, that means thatyour abs is disengaged meaning that you only have normal brakes. I had a 94 grand prix that the abs light would come on and off like that. One day a car pulled out in front of me when i was about 7 feet away from it. I slammed on the brakes, and being that they were abs brakes, the brakes grabbed and locked and never let off in that sort distance of 7 feet. My brakes were effectively LOCKED in that few seconds and i had no control at all and plowed into the other car. My son is a mechanic, trust me your abs light being on just means that you are operating on regular brakes which are better than abs anyway. The reason your brake pedal feels weird when that light is on is telling you your abs is screwing up.

Q:i have checked the fuses. they are good. can i just replace the bulbs or does the whole component need to be replaced?

you don,t have to replace the whole lens, just the bulbs.

Q:Alright here we go, I replaced my spark plugs and wires at this time I had my battery out. Anxious to see it run, I picked up my battery , placed it in the wrong way and hooked it up backwards(positive to negative and negative positive). I saw a spark and I immediately stopped. Panicked of course cause I knew i did something stupid. Now my car will not start (has no power what so ever) however the brake lights, horn, and hazard lights work which is weird. I have an ECU or ECM from my other prelude (i replaced it to see if it would run, i didn't). I looked at all the fuses under the hood to make sure the mains were not shot (abs fuse seems to be weird tho, what is that?) I put a different battery in, tried it and nothing. What could it be?

The sensitive electronic components are likely protected by diodes so you'll need to look and check closely to all related fuses as indicate in the fuses/relay boxes: The under hood box: Fuse # 31 (30A), # 32 (100A), # 33 (50A), # 34 (40A), # 35 (40A), # 36 (50A), # 42 (20A) The under dash box: Fuse # 14 (15A): This is the PCM fuse. Check those fuses, make sure they are good, if in doubt you can buy a DVOM (Digital Volt Ohm Meter) from any auto part store and it's less than $35 to ensure testing the fuses the right way. Good luck to you, there is a fuse you've missed some where. If you need all five wiring diagrams for the Power distributor systems for the car or the FSM. Send an E mail with you E mail address and I'll send it to you. The files are too large to send through YA forum. HTH Edit: One of the five wiring diagrams

Q:After the 360 died a few times, I went and picked up a Ps3 and bought component cables, after hooking them in and playing Assasins creed i hit start to go back to try something else, then saw a flash (something white that was big then went small very quick) and the screen turned black.after trying to turn it on or off it does nothing not even soundIs it time for a new tv to?Tv is only 10 months old

Being a CRT TV I would suggst it is the picture tube. If the TV is only 10 mths old , send it for repairs. It should still be under warranty.

Q:I have a 99 mitsubishi eclipse, and recently the radio stoped working, along with the reading lamp that I have. I looked under the hood in the fuse box, and there was a fuse blown, but everytime I put a new one in, it would blow almost right away. What exactly is this caused from, and how can I get it fixed?

must be water interior the lens yet greater suitable than possibly you have a quick and there's a stripped or chaffed twine making touch with the physique or yet another twine. seem on the wiring harness going to each and each tail lamp as properly as each and each front turn sign. putting a paper clip interior the fuse field would reason a hearth, the fuse is there for a reason.
