Q:the Service engine soon light came on my 1998 Chevy Monte Carlo. I can always at least in the past been able to know when something is wrong with my car. Nothing appears to be wrong that I can sense. I‘m a little concerned.

This orange 'tattle-tail' gentle tells you that the engine is working outdoors the specs the laptop video demonstrate instruments. it might desire to be the gas inflicting it to study too lots oxygen or too little for the duration of the sensor. there are a number of stuff which will make this gentle come on. as long as a results of fact the engine runs comfortable and there is not any substitute in overall performance or gas mileage, the fluids are all crowned off and not grimy (replaced at their commonplace periods), and each thing works, save on. do no longer thoroughly ignore approximately it, besides the indisputable fact that that is not any longer something to be alarmed approximately. once you get the purple gentle indicating low oil tension or the engine is overheating, it fairly is while to tug over right this moment and change the ignition off.

Q:I have a 1995 BMW 318i. When I turn on my car the Battery Light turns on, then dims away when driven, why is that? do I need a new battery or alternator?

I would say bad battery not alternator. but do the charging system test as reccoemended above.

Q:I have, from the day of installation, my check engine light has been on . Today I had the interlock removed and not 30 minuted later my car started stuttering. I live 30 plus miles that the car had to be driven 35mph in a 65mph speed limit the entire time. When exiting off the highway the power steering went scaring my 74 year old mother. We made to Advance Auto were they checked the car and determined that the transmission solenoid was bad. After researching I see where the transmission contol unit has something to do with retarding igniton timing. Now, I am no mechanic, but I have believe this is how they are connecting the interlock/ I realize that DWI is the reason for having this system in the first place, but, does getting DWI mean you have to accept someone damaging your vehicle, costing big money to fix, and time without the vehicle, not mention the fact the whole incident could have caused a wreck, because of the vehicle malfunction.

Its very possible but its only wired to the vehicle’s ignition system from the ones that I have seen and the installers from what I read are certified but at the same time they may have either connected the unit to the wrong power source or disconnected something and you need to have a professional auto repair shop look into this and if they find that it was installed incorrectly have them document this so that you can go back to the company and request a full reimbursement

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

Simple answer, difficult repair. Something in the auto's electrical system is either staying on when it should be off, or an electrical wire is exposed and touching metal. To find out what, you have to test every electrical system. Lights, signals, horn, radio, cigarette lighter, parking lights, everything. If you don't find fault in any of those, then you have to trace each wire to each system. You might want to find out where the auto's 'wiring harness' is located. Usually under a seat or something. You might find the location if you have an owners manual. Check out the harness first. Another old time trick: At night, open the hood - ignition key on - car in park - emergency break on. With the hood open, step on the front bumper to rock the car. Rock the car real good. If you see any sparks anywhere around the engine or from any wire, then you've found the defective electrical wire. (you do this procedure at night because in daylight you cannot see a spark. Also, you might hear the electrical short and not see it) Good Luck.

Q:Put aside the color does not say .6000K and 8000K HID which bright, which can put the ground and the front of the road all the light.

6000K 8000K refers to the color temperature of the lamp is not the brightness of the brightness of the unit is lumens really admire upstairs 50,000 Renderado have come to say so you see a lot of xenon lights are blue and halogen light is not so blue more blue On behalf of the higher the color temperature at noon the sun color temperature is about 4300K 6000K color temperature looks a little blue 8000K is relatively blue and there is the brightness of the HID are generally more than twice the halogen so do not worry about the light and focus Do better than the halogen and so much better than the color temperature, then about 6000K or so there is the higher the color temperature, the ability to penetrate the less the lower the color temperature penetration of the better if it is foggy night is too Big impact so the color temperature can not be too high (upstairs said more than 80,000 is estimated that you can see the UV?

Q:But feels hot

Unplug the destructive battery terminal and enable it take a seat for quarter-hour. which will re-flash the laptop. If the verify engine easy is going off then its ok. If it keeps to be on take it as much as a motor vehicle zone and have them verify it out. heavily regardless of the shown fact that take those warnings with a grain of sand. some human beings think of those lighting fixtures are set to teach on at set periods so which you're taking it into the dealership for paintings to be achieved to it. My 2005 mustang easy has been on on condition that 40k miles. i'm 100k now without themes.

Q:volvo air bag light i removed the socket and the light came

Reinstall the socket!

Q:Its a yellow light located above the temperature gage that has some unusual shape that i cannot recognize. What does it mean?

The icon (unusual shape) should be defined in your owners manual. If it resembles a terapot it probably means that your cooling system needs attentionperhaps you need to add coolant. Other icon shapes mean other systems need attention. Read your owners info, usually found in the glove compartment.

Q:I have a 1997 Acura RL, Just last week, when gently braking, the pedal releases for a moment and I hear a motor of some kind engage. This only lasts a moment and the brake takes hold again. I bought the car on a very limited budget, and I don‘t have much to repair issues. The ABS light, TCS light and Check Engine lights have been on since I bought it a year ago. The pads and rotors are fine, as is the brake fluid level. What on earth is this?! If it‘s simply the ABS, can‘t I pull the fuse and just drive the car w/o the ABS system? Please auto gods, I need your help!

Could be the wheel sensor or the ABS module. Look at the rotors to be sure the ABS ring is clean. Clean the wheel sensor too while you are there. Dirty ring and sensor will cause havoc with the ABS. good luck.

Q:How to detect car lights?

Check the rear running lights, license plate lights, rear fog lights, brake lights (plus high brake light a total of 3), reversing lights, after turning lights, after the double flash and trunk lights.
