Q:Why does the car headlamp relay stick

Electric shock ablation of the relay contact capacity is too small or aging,

Q:I have a 1997 Plymouth Breeze with the 2.0 four cylinder engine. The light came on over the weekend and I took the car straight to Auto Zone for a scan of the OBD2 system. The only code that registered was P1494, I called the chysler dealership and they said it was a leak in the evap system. Most likely cause was a loose or missing gas cap. I checked for this, and even went to the expense of buying a new one. After the new cap was installed, I had the code erased. I reset my trip meter and drove about 90 miles and the light came back on. I‘ve had a mechanic check the lines and hoses running from the fuel tank to the charcoal canister and then to the engine. All were tight and in good shape. I was also told by the dealership that the leak detection pump might be bad. This is a small vacume pump that keeps a constant vacume to the evap system. My Haynes manual shows this pump, but my mechanic says there isn‘t one on my car. I‘m now being told the problem is my O2 sensors??????

Could be from gas cap loose or leaking, make sure you get a replacemet from Dodge after market cap isn't good enough. Far as leak in the line is very hard to detect where the leak is unless you use smoke machine. smoke machine leak smoke out of the trouble area. Far as leak detection pump might be sitting on the top of the tank. Is more than that p1494 just tell us canister system fault,pump,hoses,cap,solonoid etc.

Q:Okay, So for the past few days this has been happening. Sometimes when I let off the gas of my 2006 ford mustang coupe, it will jump a little bit. It‘s never done this before. Also, today for the first time a light came on but i have NO idea what it was. I looked in my manual, and everything and it wasn‘t in there at all. I googled it but wasn‘t finding anything. Can someone please help me with this? What do you think it is? or can you send me a link to a website with ALL the warning lights on it? PLEASE!!

It is in fact in the owner's manual on p.10-11. Looking in the manual, the light in that area would be the check fuel cap light, which could mean you have a loose or missing gas cap. It could also be a large evaporative emissions leak or some other problem with the EVAP system. If it was the oil light (red light that looks like an oil can), then you need to check your oil ASAP. If the gas cap wasn't loose and you still have problems, you should have the codes read for free at an auto parts store.

Q:While driving, my airbag light flashes this sequence: solid light for about 5 secs then 6 flashes. Sometimes the battery lamp will flicker. Also th ABS lamp comes on and stays solid. Anyone have any idea what that code might be? Is my ABS just toast?

ABS is Anti-lock brakes, battery light is a sign the system isn't charging the battery. The ABS light will come on if the battery voltage isn't at least 10.5 volts. Your battery and/or alternator is bad. Start the car. remove the negative terminal. Turn on the headlights and A/C fan to high, then rev the engine. It should keep running. if not, alternator is bad. If it does, bad battery. If the battery is more than 4 years old, R2 it anyway. ADDED: You may have a sensor going bad. It is 13 years old. Try having the codes read at Autozone.

Q:I checked the manual and that‘s what it says, it was hard for me to understand exactly what the problem is. I filled my gas tank up to over 1/2 a tank and it‘s good,all the oil levels are fine.I did drive on a dirt road a day before I saw this light pop up. How can I take this light off if everything seems to be fine?

One of my pet gripes is that the emission control system in most cars will not say what is wrong, just that something is wrong. If you live in the US outside of California you can take the car to most auto parts chain stores (like Auto Zone) or to Aamco Transmission and they will read the code for free, and try to reset it if the code is temporary. In California only authorized auto service shops are allowed to do that. no comment on the sensibility of that.

Q:The service engine light came on in our car this morning after getting gas so we thought it was just the gas cap but took it to auto zone to be sure. They said it was an egr or ezr (not sure which) valve and sensor and that it may just need sprayed with wd40 to get it to open up and if not and has to be replaced its a $170 part. Is my car still drivable for the time being until we can figure out how we‘re going to potentially come up with $200?? My husband drives our car 100 miles a day to and from work so please use that in saying whether or not its driveable.

Go ahead and drive it. The egr valve controls emissions, and shouldn't hurt the engine. Good luck.

Q:What kind of car headlamp bulb is the brightest

Yes, white hair blue, the kind of light is xenon lamp. Just know the headlamp model can be safe. 500 or less to get.

Q:I purchased the car in March and it runs fine. In the past month I have noticed that occasionally the battery light comes on. It does not matter whether the lights or a/c are on or off. I tried reving the engine to see if that would turn it off and that does not seem to make a difference. After a minute or two it goes off and may not do it again for a week. The meter on the dash shows that the system is charging. I do not know the age of the battery as it is not marked, but the terminals are tight and do not have corrosion.

the reason its going off and on its telling you theres something wrong with the charging system i would have the battery and terminals checked the then i would check the altanator most places cant tell you your stuff is going bad when they run a test all the test dose it tell you if its bad or good but the light dont lie so the best way to check is to run your car at normal idal and turn all the lights on every thing with a volt meter place each end on the battery pos and neg side and see if your battery charging if your battery is putting out 12 or more volts when running then the altanator is charging your battery if it not i would go the cheapest way by replacing the battery if you problem still exsist then your altanator is bad those are the only two items that would make that light come on

Q:I have an 2001 Dodge Dakota and just last month I replace the yellow headlight lamps with new ones and I want to get a set of HIDs in my truck. I don‘t want no cheap *** knockoffs like nokya 7000k! I mean how hard is it to install HIDs. Plus does anyone know where I can get a good set of HIDs Ps: I live in Pennsylvania

To quote Ghostbusters, It would be Bad.

Q:Right after everything was replaced I noticed the clock, radio, and auto locks weren‘t working. That got fixed. Now I find the auto start isn‘t working. The remote lights up when I press the start button. The switch in the car is on, the car just doesn‘t respond. Ideas?

Sounds like it needs reprogramming.
