Auto Repair

I have a 2003 Ford Mustang 3.8L/V6. Whenever I put the key into the ignition, the overhead light inside the car stays on after I turn the ignition on and while I'm driving. I want to know if there is something wrong with one of my sensors and if there is, what should do? take it to a shop or try to fix it manually?

Hello, with this the porsche 934 from the Almeras team as it drove LeMans in 1980, the car had a modified rear turbo wing and modified front light lenses. The car didn't finish the race due to an accident. Base for this car is the HELLER Porsche 934RSR, with modified wheels from FUJIMI, the rear spoiler comes from the Flatnose turbo, the front lights also from a Fujimi Turbo Porsche. I also ingraved the wheel extentions, and made some holes to replicate the rivets. Also added some strips to replicate the roof line. ( rain gitter ) Thanks for looking, Regards, Joka-1 Attached Images IMG_5372.JPG (189.7 KB) IMG_5373.JPG (178.6 KB) IMG_5375.JPG (206.4 KB) IMG_5376.JPG (219.5 KB) IMG_5377.JPG (177.9 KB)

The other day I was driving and all power to the vehicle suddenly went out. I had to cruise into a parking lot. I have had the alternator tested to be good at Auto Zone and the battery tests just fine with the multimeter. When I checked the fuses under the hood I saw that the 40A Ign A fuse blew. I replaced it with another 40 and tried starting the vehicle and it blew again. I did some testing with a test light by placing the metal clamp of the tester light on the negative connector and than poking the negative terminal with the needle of the tester light, the bulb would light up even though the car was off meaning there is a short somewhere. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjXt7_gusgM So I kept that in place and took out fuses until the light went off to find out what circuit the short would be on. It ended up being the 50A Batt fuse. This is when I went up to Auto Zone to have the alternator tested as some guy had a similar problem and it ended up being a bad alternator. The techs there said maybe it is a short in the ignition switch or something. I have no idea how the 40A Ign A fuse could blow but yet the short is in the 50A Batt fuse. Any ideas and help would be appreciated in getting this fixed. Thank you.

These guys at www.carmenitafordparts.com were pretty cool - they sent me some 10% coupon the other day for all online orders only and had told me to share with people (I had bought some stuff on their site a few months ago). They had the part in stock unlike other sites and their prices are pretty decent too. The code is: fordautom30 and the coupon ends May 31st.

I have varified all but two the vacuum hose locations. the vacuum diagram is a little vague on the idle up valve hose connection at the trottle body and it doesn't show the air injection hose (california version) connection at all at the throttle body can someone clear this up for me?

I?m on a mailing list for parts site called www.carmenitafordparts.com and they emailed me a coupon. The code is fordautom30 and it?s for 10% off parts and accessories. It lasts until May 31st and it's for online orders not phone orders. Hope someone can use this!

New member here... Just wanted to share this with others as this subforum is relatively quiet. I typically get around 28 combined for my commute plus around town driving and around 33-35 if on a road trip, with an average speed of 70. This past weekend I filled up in Bayville, NJ and drove to Manchester, CT (198.5 miles) and averaged 40.7 (41.6 on the dash) MPG.... I was amazed. My average speed was much slower though, probably around 55-65 mph (i was in no hurry, it was very late). I've attached a couple photos.... Just wanted to share because I thought that this was literally not possible! Attached Thumbnails

My '99 SW1 has developed a steering problem. There is a hard spot just each side of center. It's at a stage where i don't feel it all the time, but it is there. I've changed the power steering fluid twice, and it's clear, I've lubed the universal joints in the steering column. When jacked up or on the ground I can't feel any looseness in any front end part. I'm guessing it's the rack, but other suggestions would be welcome.

Filed under: EV/Plug-in, On Two Wheels, USA Looks like 3rd of June will be a red-letter day for electric motorcycles. Not only are we to have our hearts unbroken by Mission Motors, but it is also the exact same day that another of our two-wheeled favorites will ride into the spotlight. Moto Electra Racing has announced it will begin a journey from coast to coast with its Norton-styled retro-electro machine in a bid to make the record books for the quickest continental crossing by an electric vehicle. The team will set out from Florida and drive to Santa Monica in about 3 days, with an estimated 20 stops for charging and cat-napping. Inspired by a film about the first gas-powered automobile cross-country trip in 1903 - a time before gas stations and, for the most part, paved roads - the team plans to set out from the beach in Jacksonville, Florida and quietly hum their way to the Santa Monica Pier in California in about 3 days. That's about 2,500 miles along Interstate 10 at, or slightly below, the 70 mile-per-hour speed limit with an estimated 20 stops for charging and cat-napping. In the saddle will be team stalwart Thad Wolff. The former AMA Superbike racer has lots of experience with the bike, having raced it in the TTXGP and claiming 2nd place overall in the North American 2011 season. He will be supported by team principal Brian Richardson and a group of students from James Madison University who will bring along a portable generator. The general strategy is to ride for two hours, then charge for one, being careful not to tax the batteries. The bike itself is one sweet piece of work. Built around the famous Norton featherbed design, it is powered by an air-cooled AC motor and holds a battery pack which, while somewhat old, still holds an amazing 19 or 20 kilowatt-hours of energy (most comercially-available electric motorcycles offer about half that capacity, it's more than the 16.5-kWh in the Chevy Volt). While copies are not yet officially offered for sale, the team hinted in an email that it may be a possibility in the future You can follow the effort on the Moto Electra Facebook page where it will post plenty of photos and keep fans abreast of its progress.
