Q:I recently took the compressor apart, lubricated all components, but the pump still wont work. I hear the relay click when i turn on the air pump uld it be the relay, or the fuse, and if its the fuse, where is it located? i know the relay is in the trunkany help would be appreciated, thank you

The terminal numbers are labeled on the bottom side of the relay. I'm assuming the relay you are hearing is in the trunk so it's most likely if that relay is clicking it's working. If the pump operates check for voltage at terminal (85) of the fuse block (ignition on) then check for ground at terminal (86) at the fuse block while the inflator switch is on . If all ok replace relay . If your missing power or ground to any of the above mention terminals locate and repair source of open/short.

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.

hmmmmmmmm.does it have a digital cluster? dumb q ,but correct fuse size is being put back in? i would need the owners manual or a repair manual to find ALL components that run off that fuse.i have replaced some clusters,but not for blowing fuses.will get back to you.my email is open

Q:i replaced the old fuse after it blew and it keeps blowing when i plug it in. it calls for a 5A 125V 5mm X 20mm fuse could i replace it with a higher rated fuse? like a 6A or something, why do the new fuses keep blowing?

Q:I have a 2000 Grand Am GT (3.4l V6), and my power steering has been messing up. I have replaced my rack and pinion, and I have replaced the power steering pump, and it's still not working. I made sure there was no air in the res, when I put the new pump on, and it's still not steering right. The car has an electrical steering assist, and I was wondering, where would the fuse be for that, if there is one?

There is no power steering fuse. Power steering isn't electrical, it's powered by the serpentine belt from the engine.

Q:Hey guys thanks for looking, ok basically i bought a pug 306 td the other day but the guy i bought it off went to jump start it as is had a flat battery after standing for 2 months, he connected the terminals wrong on the jump leads, which he thinks blew the aalternatorand the batterie, i however think that the batterie will be fried but surely there will be a fuse somewhere to stop the aalternatorand all the other electrics being fried?? do you think i am right? and if i am right do you know where and how big that fuse is?Thanks people 10points for best answer!

Most of the time Diesels have a box on the top of the battery which has 3 - 5 fuses in. These are the fuses that Deal with the charging voltage and protect the electrical part of the engine. Look at these and check they are ok. Then try to start the car with a new (Borrow same size battery, or buy one) and look to see if the battery light stays on if not, then that alternator should be ok.

Q:I asked how to fix it, but was just told the same thing everyone else said, go to a mechanic and let them do it. I would like everyone to know write now that is my car, and I intend on learning everything I can about it, secondly I'm broke, and thirdly, i am a very poor grammarist.lol but seriously I would really like to know what this is.

Some components have an internal, non-replaceable fuse that melts open at a set temperature. The reason that temperature is used is that when an electrical component starts to wear out, More energy is required to keep it going. More energymore heat through the wires, and the wires are protected by fuses that melt when the power draw of the component exceeds their thermal rating, usually expressed in amps. The most common part that blows an internal thermal fuse that comes to mind is a Ford Airbag control module, and just replacing the module usually results in another blown internal thermal fuse. There ARE components out there that have a resettable internal thermal fuse called a circuit breaker. When the component draws too much power, the circuit breaker trips open due to excessive heat , then, when it cools down, it will reset itself. The most common component that utilizes a non-replaceable circuit breaker is a GM power window motor. usually it will go up a little ways, then stop and not work for a minute or so, then will go up a little more, then stop.This is the circuit breaker cooling down and resetting. Hope this helps.

Q:I have a bad battery in my Tercel 99, so I jumped the battery with another car. But I did a mistake by letting the positive negative of the jumping cable touch each others. So I guess that my fuses are dead, the car won't start again, even with the jumped battery (I get no power at all).Which fuses should I check to replace them?

You will soon learn the cost of replacing your computer. (and perhaps the alternator also. check it first)

Q:I was trying to replace my ceiling light bulb in my 97 honda accord and yes i was stupid and didn't disconnect the negative terminal from the battery. And yes i blew out one of the fuses. I replaced the fuse and then noticed that my passenger door the one right behind the driver that when i open it the ceiling light wont come on but all the rest of the doors when i open it the ceiling light would come on. I thought it was the door jam switch so i replaced it and it still won't come on. I also checked every single fuse and all of them are still good. So i'm guessing that its the wiring so now i am wondering if its my wreckless short circuit that may have caused the wiring damage. Or short circuit does not cause wire damage. By the way my car only has one interior light which is that ceiling light. Thanks in advance for any answers!

Look up how to use a VOM read it. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. They got you at DC Electricity in use for the last 200 years. LOL!

Q:Basically The plasma has about 5 or 6 connections in hte back. For soem reason only my a.v. 1 and 2 are working. my Component 1 AND 2 are not. I tried plugging in my sat. dvd player, and axbox. Every time, I can see a picture, and I can hear sound, but the picture is black and white, Like we're in hte 50's! Anyway I was wondering if maybe this is an ongoing problem with other people as well, maybeits a fuse or something in the t.v. I don't know. And before I bring it to a repair man, I thought maybe I can sacve a couple of bucks by asking on here, and doing it my self. Any suggestions??

alot of times people hook up their component cables wrong red, green, blue cables are for video solid red and white are for audio you DO NOT plug in the yellow cord

Q:I have a 1996 Toyota Camry LE 4 cylinder, just yesterday for some reason the clock and the radio both wont' turn on anymore. The battery is working fine, I can turn on the car, turn on the light and all other stuff, just those two components (and the cigarette lighter adapter) that stopped turning on. Can anyone think of any reason why it's doing that? Is it the fuse that might be burned out? Thanks

Check your accessory fuse(s).
