Q:Last Week while I was driving I noticed a small batterie shaped light come on. I looked at the gauge that shows your batterie voltage and it showed normal. Truck acted fine (1997 Ford F250 7.3 diesel), and shortly after (mabe 5 miles or so) the light when off.Last night when I started it I noticed that light (along with the others that come on when you crank the engine), stayed on. I moved the truck about 200‘ and shut it off (light was still on). This morning when I cranked my truck the light stayed on. Then, a few miles down the road, it went off. It came back on about 30 miles later, and stayed on till I got to work (another 8 miles or so). Truck is running fine.I am guessing it is not my regular batterie (since the gauge shows normal), so is it the batterie for the glow plugs?So, I got out my manual and it says if that light comes on, to have the charging system checked? How? Who does that (preferably besides the dealer)? What kind of out of cost am I looking at? Any help?

Could be the alternator or the battery. It is most probably the alternator. You could take it to an auto parts store. They can test it while its running. You will have to find someone reputable to do the work if it need replacing.

Q:my bmw 1988 528e is dying my battery. I have replaced my battery as well as my alternator?

The electrical system in this vehicle is not that complex. But you wil need external amp probe to monitor the amp draw in the vehicle. Gaining acsess to the fuse pannel. Remove fuse one by one until draw no longer is present. This way you find what circut the draw is on. From there you find a wirring diagram and unplug the diffrent things on the circut. Clamp on amp probe availible at auto parts store cheap. Since this is a older vehicle anything over 100ma is to much.

Q:but the light still come on sometimes for 5 minutes

when your boss fires you throw a bucket of water on him! paper and wood will go out with water properly applied.

Q:That would get rid of speed limits, car crashes, road rage, and kind of problems that the world has with cars! Except gas

No, it would tend to be opposite, unless the car runs on tracks.

Q:ONLY when i accelerate on the highway, speeds 65-75mph. The car rocks forward and backward like it's misfiring or something. the engine light is always on. I have changed spark plugs, wires, new battery and did a fuel system clean. What else could it be? Fuel filter? Catalytic converter?***2000 Chevy Malibu 160,000 miles V6 auto trans.

If the engine light is on,there is a code stored in the car's computer. There is a sensor telling the computer that there is a problem. A cheap way to find out what the code is, Just go to an auto parts store like Autozone or Oreilly's and have them read the code with a code scanner. This will tell you what sensor is causing the light to come on and will help you diagnose the problem. There are WAY too many electrical parts on a modern car to just start guessing and changing random parts. It will nickel and dime you broke like that. The car will tell you what is wrong by reading trouble codes.

Q:now why do you suppose car manufacturers such as toyota,nissan basically all auto manufacturers integrate such system.i mean come on its DAYTIME it not like its dark or anything.and the fact that it also draining the life of your battery its just my opinion i think its useless

Boo Radley. Why do you ask?

Q:Preowned vehicle, Starter works very well,(hold both buttons down for -under two sec.)I have accidentally ( eep!) turned on the security system 4 times. (when it is on, car will not start, even with key) , can deactivate security feature by pressing # 1 button.BUT have no idea how to turn it on on purpose!Have tried just about every combination of buttons I can think of!I think this was installed at the GM factory because we have an idiot light on dash that reads ‘security‘ when the system is on. But I think it has been reprogrammed to become a remote starter as well. And naturally no manual or such came with the car.We always lock doors manually, using the power locks, could that be related in anyway???Happy New Year by the way. :)

I had this problem with the 300esp, after pushing 100's of combinations I went to a local guy who hooked up to the brain and he was able to reprogram the brain and add a new key fob for 49bux. ALOT easier than playin the guessing game. and not too expensive either. I know on the 300esp you can accidentally change the settings by turning on the key and operating the valet switch a certain number sequence. After I guessed and played around with a few sequences I thought it might be.I only made the problem worse then went to the local guy. good luck

Q:Today I spent 100 yuan for a pair of xenon bulbs (do not know is really fake), I was the Great Wall C30 original headlamp bulb is 60 / 55W replaced 360 / 280W xenon headlamp bulb, without any modification Add a pair of light bulbs, I would like to ask this car line and lamp bowl in the end there is no impact ah, I asked the master of the lamp that no problem. Please understand the master and give advice and suggestions. Thank you first. I will not change the original.

Ordinary car light bulb maximum power is 100W, if the original 60W light bulb into 100W, then the feeling is bright, but the high-power bulb heat is also large, after a period of time will make the reflective surface yellow, thereby reducing the reflective efficiency, The brightness of the headlamps has been reduced. Another high-power bulb operating current is also a lot of big, easy to cause the socket connector burned, as well as the risk of fire. So do not blindly replace the high-power light bulbs.

Q:My check engine light has been on for a few weeks. At one point, I tightened the gas cap and it went away until I had to fill up with gas, then it reappeared. I thought buying a new gas cap would help, but it didnt. I took it to Auto Zone and it passed their free test. Nothing could be detected.I am at a loss.What else could be causing the problem? She still drives well. Please help!Please dont tell me about the gas cap. It‘s not the gas cap! I have replaced it and I turn it until there are 3 clicks and the check engine light is still on!

Have the new cap tested for the proper pressure reading. Take the car to the dealership. Chances are is the new cap is bad out of the box. Put the old cap back and tighten it down. if the light go out you have your answer. You may hap to get a cap from the dealership to get the proper rated cap. Here is a question for you. Did unhook to the battery in the car for five minutes. This clears the codes out off the system that are called had codes. That stay on for more than five with the light on. Otherwise the code will pop back on from the member and turn the light back on. So tester don't read all the codes. Some test will not clear all the codes. Unhooking the power to the system will clear all the codes.
