Q:I Have an 01 mitsubishi galant GTZ and the right passenger side parking lights, (running lights) dont work. The dash lights also dont turn on. Now the fuse was blown and i replaced once i turned the lights on it would blow again. I asked around and i was told it was a short. How to fixx? Please help.

There are a maze of wires that CAN be affected and need repair--YOU can't do much but get a professional to fix it properly!!

Q:I just fixed a problem where the 120 amp fuse was blowing due to short in alternator. Now, every time I connect the battery cables, the 10 amp room lamp fuse is blowing instantly. Help please.

Why would you replace a 13 amp fuse with a 3 amp one. If the lamp is rated for 13 amps, 3 amps will not work. Obviously the lamp is using much more than 3 amps. Put the 13 amp fuse back in. There probably is nothing wrong with the bulb.

Q:I like gardening and growing flowers and plants, but I need to save up money in this crisis ya know, and good ol? regular planters are just too expensive. I have all this old equipment piling up and making mess on my back yard. a tv screen from the 1980?s. a computer screen from the 90?s an old vcr that must be just as old, etc etc.and they?re all just sitting there waiting for kingdom come. So I figured Hey why not make a planter out of the whole lot o?them! maybe just the tv screen. Does anybody have any experience with odd planters? I just do it like I would do it with any regular planter?

Just make sure to remove any electronic components. IE: wires, fuses, motherboards. Then you can either remove the screen and use that for the top, or you can make a hole in the top and use that.

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?

Q:I got infinity kappa 6.5 Components and infinity 6x9 kappa both are 2 ohm speakers, dual 7 inch touch screen tv radio has a 15 amp fuse, mtx jack hammer 4 channel amp which is rated at 400 watts rms x 4 @ 2 ohms birth sheet states 480 rms @ 2 ohms x 4, 800 max birth sheet states 895 max @ 2 ohms x 4 and has 2 35 amp fuse, and rockford fosgate tweeters ran of the radio 22 rms. just bought a die hard platinum battery and upgraded my ground and power cables under the hood with 4 awg cable. two 4 awg cables to the alternator and 2 to the ground and engine block one to the fuse box all 4 awg. my lights dim as the bass hits in idle should i get a capacitor or high output alternator?????????

Not familiar with that brand of battery but deffo go with the alternator, capacitors are little bit of a gimmick in my opinion. they do help to an extent they prevent surges of power being taken from the battery on each note but if your alternator cant keep up the battery it going to get drained and have a shorter life anyway

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 have this hot tub that froze and busted a lot of the lines going to the jets. I replaced all these and turned the power back on with one of the gates still in the closed position. Not usre if I damaged the pump or what but I can't get it to do anything but blow fuses. The readout says it's overheating. I took the motor cover off and spinned the porpelers and they turned good. Also the heat senor has melted out of the inline water heater and was wondering if these are replaceable. THis unit has two pumps and it is a fourwinds model 700 maverickThanks for any help

get two girls, that should unfreeze the tub or whatever i stopped reading after the first 5 words

Q:I'm doing some wiring and I do not quite understand the difference between AC12v and DC12v. I need an item to run on DC12v, Can I simply clip the wires on my object that needs DC12v and connect the appropriate ends to the appropriate battery terminals?Please do not answer (12v) ^^ Thanks!

Simple AC Alternative Currant DC Direct Currant For example A car run on DC. A house has electric volt in AC For some electrical components you need fuses or relay not to fry every system in your car (short-cicuit). just a touch with your finger can make a electromagnetic currant in the ECU can fry the whole thing up. make sure you have a good ground every time. (touch the body of the car on metalic plate). You can do it for a limited time, if it is just a repair to give time to go to the workshop, For example. It is not recommended to do that, but if you're in trouble with something just to help you. Why not! We're all doing that anyway. That's what we call a bypass. Before going to do something in your car (elcetric) you should read more about electricity, to give you more information about what are you doing under your hood. Hope it helps you enough!

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!
