I went to a major national auto service center to get my oil changed, and they had a person there who inspected my windshield and told me that they noticed a few chips in it. They asked if I had full insurance coverage on my vehicle, which I do, and they said that they could repair the chips and it would be paid for by my auto insurance via a %26quot;no-fault%26quot; claim.
I'm not sure if it was a good idea, but I gave them permission to repair the chips. I actually had no idea the chips were even there, and they probably were extremely tiny. During the repair, they called my insurance company, and the chip repair was approved and my deductible was waived.
Will this really have no effect on my insurance rates? And why would the auto service center fuss over a few small chips? Are they pretty much fixing something that doesn't need to be fixed just so that they can bill an insurance company and make profit?
Should I have gone through with a %26quot;no-fault%26quot; claim for my windshield?
The auto service center was trying to make a buck, but you did give them the authorization to fix it.
I don't know where they came up with the 'no-fault' line though. This hasn't anything to do with that. It's a comprehensive claim, and the deductible was waived because the glass was repaired instead of replaced. Comprehensive claims in general do not cause your rates to go up.
Should I have gone through with a %26quot;no-fault%26quot; claim for my windshield?
This will have no effect whatsoever on your insurance. They look at repair vs replace as cost effective -- the repairs usually run less that $100 while replacement of many windshields run in excess of $450.
You really should have inspected said cracks to begin with, however, having said that if you trust your mechanic then there really shouldn't be a problem. Small or large cracks on your windshield is not safe as it may not absorb an impact as well as if there were no cracks. You will not have to pay excess, you will also remain on the same %26quot;No Claim Bonus%26quot; rating however, I am unsure if they increase your premium?

Why does my 2001 chevy blazer shake when its about to take off and around turns?
It just started doing out of nowhere. When I idle at a light it shakes and when I got to take off it does it until I get to a higer rpm. I changed the plugs and wires. Still doing it. There is a spark coming from the rear of the motor near the windshield but lower. What would cause this? And what can I do to fix it? The truck only has 112k miles on it.
Why does my 2001 chevy blazer shake when its about to take off and around turns?
The spark sound really effin weird and should not be happening. It could be an emissions problem or exhaust leak or something in that area. Bro, get the spark checked out though that sounds a bit dangerous

Windshield Wipers Maintenance...?
I was told to clean the windshield wipers with a cotton %26amp; alcohol, and that it would eliminate the water-streaks on the windshield as they are operating.
I have done this, and they're still leaving continous streaks as they go back and forth.
I can change them, but I hate doing that.. I can never get it right! Is there some other home-made remedy for a sure-fix?
Windshield Wipers Maintenance...?
The streaking is caused by dirt, grease, oil. on the windshield. This comes from the cars in front of you and the sky.
Clean the window with Coca-Cola!. Just pour it on and scrub the glass with a paper towel. Be sure to rinse the mess off the window and all the metal surfaces of the car with a hose. Pepsi, RC and other colas don't work.
The wiper blades should be cleaned every time you wash the car. Alcohol is okay, but windex and a paper towel work fine. Your blades should last for years.
Remember, auto dealers, auto parts stores and wiper manufacturers sell wiper blades. They want to sell their product. Be smart.
Windshield Wipers Maintenance...?
Try adding a good quality windshield liquid cleaner and it should eliminate the streaks. Otherwise, you should change your windshield wiper. The auto dealership does recommend changing the wipers every year.
Most cars have a tensioner spring on the arm that you can adjust how tightly you want the wipers pressed onto your windshield.
Your car manual should have info on this if so equipped.
If not,have you tried applying Rain-X to windshield?
Might help.
Good luck.
You probably need a new windshield. Windshields tend to get a greasy film on them that is really hard to get off. You can see if a new windshield is covered by your insurance. If it is, just crack your windshield and get a new one for free!
Or, you can just use rain-x on your windshield. That's what I use and I dont use my wipers... at all!

Who is legally responsible for an accident when the designated driver misses a curve, hits a tree & is killed?
My daughter let her non-drinking friend drive her car to %26amp; from a party. The driver hit a tree, was killed. My daughter went through the windshield %26amp; is in intensive care with head injuries %26amp; broken bones.Who is responsible %26amp; does it change if the car was not insured?
Who is legally responsible for an accident when the designated driver misses a curve, hits a tree %26amp; is killed?
Two things..
First off, if your daughter went through the windshield, why was she not wearing a seat belt?
Second, it's hard to say who is responsible unless it can be proven beyond doubt that someone's negligence caused the crash.
In the meantime, if the car was not insured, it first off should not have even been registered, and second off whoever owned it better find a real good lawyer, because the dead person's family is gonna come with all guns blazing.

sorry but who was driving is alway responsible if one misses the road can only be one the one driving sounds like your looking to blame someone for a accident and from what you have said there was only two driver and your kid and insurance wouldnt matter who was driving was one who wreak
Unfortunately, the driver is at fault. Two things to do in this matter and I have to stress...please give the family time to grieve.
If I understand correctly, your daughter's vehicle was not insured? If the driver was a resident of his parents home, you can file a claim on their auto insurance or his own. Depending how their policy language reads, they may be able to assist with medical-pain/suffering off the Bodily Injury coverage (occupant bodily injury). It may happen that since he had permissive use to drive her vehicle, they could decline the claim.
You also have to remember, you may be approached by the city for any property damage..which if not insured will be your daughter's responsibility.
I do wish you the best and my heart goes out to the family that lost a child. I lost my son to a drunk driver a year ago.
using causing and permitting.
Who was using the vehicle... Daughter and freind...
Who caused the vehicle to be used daughter...
Who permitted the vehicle to be used:-
? Owner.. as in who actually bought the car they are vicariously liable for who who uses the vehicle.. did they indicate who should and should not drive the vehicle... The insurance company avoids this liability by indicating on the policy NAMED DRIVERS. or drivers with the permission of THE POLICY HOLDER..
? Policy Holder.. As in who took out the insurance in their name They are vicariously liable to ensure only those permitted by the insurance company drive the vehicle and that all those driving the vehicle are suitably qualified.. that is why the policy holder signs the insurance it is a legal doccument and shows that they comply with the law.
? User, your daughter was using the vehicle and drove it originally, the other person was then Caused to drive the vehicle by your daughters actions of Permitting them to drive the vehicle.. The Driver then Caused the incident which caused injury to both the driver and your daughter..
In a case of law the police will prosecute the person using causing and permittng the vehicle to be used prior to the incident taking place. Therefore, without just cause your daughter permitted the vehicle to be used. ERGO she is also liable.. and will be prosecuted for the driving offences, ie no insurance ( as the driver probably wasn't insured) had the driver lived then they too will be prosecuted for dangerous driving.
In civil law.. astute lawyers/ solicitors will sue your daughter and the owner of the vehicle for PERMITTING the incidend taking place and for CAUSING the vehicle to be used on the road... if the driver was UNINSURED by rote of not being a named driver or permissible under the insurance policy, then the suit will land on the shoulders of your daughter AND the owner of the vehicle AND the person who took out the insurance policy.........
Welcome to the world of litigation BUT
Be thankful and blessed.....YES BLESSED... that your daughter is still alive..... because the other persons parents/ family... would give every penny in the world to still have the otherperson alive......
The driver is responsible for the accident........ but.... your Daughter is financially responsible because she owned the car. Whether the car was insured or not in no way determines %26quot;fault%26quot;. If it was not insured, your Daughter will be held responsible for any and all damages and compensation. Unless, the driver owned an insured car. There may be some coverage from that drivers policy. If it was insured, Your Daughters insurance company is liable. The driver (estate) can be charged for driving a car with no insurance. If there was no insurance, I would be running, not walking to see a lawyer.
I think what your really asking is who is financially responsible for the damages. The driver is legally responsible but the owner of the vehicle is responsible for the financial damages. That is why people buy insurance. I believe since your daughter allowed someone to drive her uninsured vehicle she is responsible for all financial losses which may include the death of the driver. If she is underage, you are then responsible since it was you who allowed her to drive an uninsured car.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT APPROCH THE FAMILY FOR ANY MONEY... but how ever the driver is at fault.. if the driver was coverd under your insurance then there is nothing to worry about.. if you didnt have insurance then it would be an out of pocket expense being your responsiblity because you own the car how ever after everything settles down a bit you and the other family could come to some kind of agreeance..
Yes ut is.My twin sister Nikki or should I say Nik was driving my Civic @ the time and it a tree by our house and then she promised me that she would pay me back. But has not for years my civic. But my civic was a 99 civic..But other wise my twin quit smoking THANK YOU GOD... but any ways Nik was dating Tyler Kyle's best man @ the time.Was in the car and he broke his hand and his foot. Nik went to a party.And I called her and called her. And she said%26quot; Mich. And I told her it is 1:00 a.m. Dad's goin to kill you. So my step dad started yell Nicole Ashley Smith you are grounded.. So other wise. I might get a SUV or a Car with four doors or two doors.
I'm not sure what answer you're looking for? The driver is responsible for failing to control the vehicle. and she's dead. The car was not insured and shouldn't have been on the road. Your daughter is guilty of letting someone drive her uninsured car. Your daughter, as the vehicle owner is responsible financially. She will probably be sued by the family of the driver, and if she is a minor, you could be sued as well.
Sorry about your daughter, I hope she fully recovers.

Stability on BMW F650 GS?
I am a novice street rider with this new bike. I feel very uncomfortable at highway speeds on this bike. If I changed to a larger windshield, would this help? Any other thoughts?
Stability on BMW F650 GS?
The BMW is anything but a GP bike, its an Enduro. These type of bikes are Paris-Dakar machines or very similar. Its not meant for the road really. I would say its 70:30 in favour of dirt by reading reviews.
Anyway, back to the question. With the ultra soft suspension and knobbly tires, long motorway journeys arent recommended.
There isnt much you can do about this i'm afraid, as your bikes habitat is primarily off-road.
I really dont understand why people here keep recommending smaller bikes. An Aprillia RS 250 would blow many bikes, much larger than itself, away easily. The F650 has a nice gentle acceleration curve, and good low speed stability. An ideal bike. You just need to ride to your machines strengths.
Good Luck.
Stability on BMW F650 GS?
this bike is definitely not a gp bike. i wonder what gave him that impression. like the guy above me said, this bike made for the dirt so you'll have to work with what you've got. not a bad bike tho. enjoy it and be safe
if you are a %26quot;novice%26quot; then you should not be riding a street legal GP bike
a larger winshield will not change the stability of the MC
the bike is as stable as the rider at the controls. if you think the bike is unstable then you need a smaller bike until your skills improve.
Ride safe; RIDE SMART;

Do they sell commerical policies that cover only certain trucks in a trucking business?
A dump truck cracked my windshield and the insurance company is saying that the truck that broke it isn't covered. It doesn't make sense that the one truck that broke my windshield isn't covered. Wouldn't you have to buy a policy that covers your drivers in whatever truck they drove as opposed to the trucks the company owns when the trucks can change. I think hes just saying this so he doesn't have to pay but i don't knoww anything aboutcommerciall insurance.
Do they sell commerical policies that cover only certain trucks in a trucking business?
Do you have an auto insurance policy? TAke a look at it - does it cover every auto in your state? No. It only covers the LISTED autos.
So no, your employee isn't covered in ANY vehicle - unless they bought an %26quot;any vehicle%26quot; policy.
So, THAT dump truck wasn't insured. It was UNINSURED on the road. I happen to agree with you - I'd say he's just saying it to get out of the claim. I'd hike down to the office, and let him know you're taking him to small claims court, and adding in court costs and lost wages for your time in court.
Don't forget, BEFORE you do this, to file a police report at your local police station, indicating as much of his information as you know, and including his statement that the truck is uninsured. :D Make his life a little uncomfortable.
You sue the owner in small claims court, for the damage to your windshield.
Do they sell commerical policies that cover only certain trucks in a trucking business?
Exactally the same answer above. Just because he does not have insurance does not mean he is not responsible it just mean he gets to pay it out of pocket. Also when you talk to the police, make sure to let them know the owner indicated that he knowingly operates an uninsured vehicle.

Windshield Repair!?
HELP! Windshield Repair
Question Details: I just got my windshield %26quot;repaired%26quot; by some guys who tried to get me to replace it since the beginning. I asked them to do the repair first b/c I wanted to see what it would like look before I got a replacement.
It looks exactly the same! No change at all. I think they just want me to replace the windshield, but I would rather have it repaired correctly. The rock chip is about the size of a nickel...it's tiny and I just can't believe it would still be visible if they had done it right.
Can anyone recommend a company? Preferably from personal experience. I live in Charlotte, NC.
Thanks! :o)
Windshield Repair!?
I have a couple of comments:
1st I'm really sorry you had to deal with a hack!
2nd if he did actually put any %26quot;repair%26quot; material (resin) in the chip it is sealed and no one will be able to repair that particular chip.
Also, if the chip was new it should have come out clear (not able to see) if it was repaired with a suction kit. Basically the air and impurities should have been removed with suction and then replaced with resin then pressure to push the resin into all the parts of the chip. The last step of the repair process is to cure it with a UV lamp and then buff the area to be sure that it is smooth again.
In the future when you get a rock chip put a piece of clear tape on it ASAP, to keep it clean and dry. Don't wash your car with high pressure wash until you get it fixed. And _if_ you can find someone who offers repair first service use them. Not a replacement company who also will repair.
Lastly, GOOD LUCK!!

I agree with Cindy T. Hi Cindy
Two things. Safelite auto glass is across the US and does a great job. You can see if they are nearby by looking here: http://www.safelite.com/locator.jsp
Second... glass repair won't fix how it looks... it will just ensure that it will not crack further from heat/cold weather. We had it done and the guy warned me that it won't look much better. It did look better... but not much.
they cant always repair them and make them look like nothing ever happened to them,that's why the guy tried to get you to replace it,he knew it wouldn't come out looking good,he probably repaired it the best that it could be done,any large place on a glass and it will be noticeable,so you should have listened to him and had it replaced,there a limit as to the size of a repair they can do,without it being noticeable,any place that large in a glass will be noticeable,so now you,ll have to replace it if you want it to actually go away,good luck with it.

I filed a windshield claim with USAA.... HELP!!!!!?
I changed my policy recently to a $0 deductible for comprehensive coverage. When I called to claim my crack in the windshield, I stupidly told them the crack occured before I changed my policy. I didnt move forward with the claim, but now I have ANOTHER crack on top of the old one and have GOT to get it fixed. I am afraid to file another claim so soon, and do not know what to do.
My question is: Do you get penalized for filing windshield claims even if you DONT end up going through with them?
Will my rates increase for filing claims so close together?
Will they honor my new policy change for the new crack even with the old crack still being there from before the policy change?
I filed a windshield claim with USAA.... HELP!!!!!?
You can submit your new claim to USAA. It would be best if you are honest and upfront with them regarding the crack. They have your first claim on record and can cross reference the damages easily.
Any crack large than a dollar bill cannot be fixed, and should be replaced. You can either replace the glass on your own ($200-$300) with any mobile auto glass company. Or you can follow up with your new claim, where your insurance company will probably charge you %26quot;betterment%26quot; or %26quot;wear and tear%26quot;. You can be charged with up to 75% wear and tear, meaning that even with coverage, you might be paying about $225 out of pocket.
I filed a windshield claim with USAA.... HELP!!!!!?
If the windshield was cracked and not replaced, it will not be covered under the change to the policy. If you had replaced the windshield and the new one was damaged, it would be covered.
You will need to replace the windshield at your own cost, or at least pay the deductible that was in place at the time of the first damage.
All you can expect from insurance is that they will get you back to the situation you were in before the covered loss. In this case, you had a cracked windshield. They will not pay to repair previous damage.
Sorry
You have created a quandry for yourself. When you decided not to go through with the first claim, you should have still repaired the windshield, taken a photo of it or sent the bill in to prove that it was repaired. Now, they are going to doubt the claim on the second crack.
Comprehensive claims are usually not held against you. However, if you continue to break windshields, they can increase your deductible so that it will not cover your repairs.
I just asked my husband who has been a claims adjuster for 30 years. He says, %26quot;They owe you to put you back to what you had before you had the second crack in the windshield, which is a broken windshield, which has no value. If your company offers anything, you are going to be lucky.
My question is: Do you get penalized for filing windshield claims even if you DONT end up going through with them?
Will my rates increase for filing claims so close together?
Will they honor my new policy change for the new crack even with the old crack still being there from before the policy change?
I filed a windshield claim with USAA.... HELP!!!!!?
You can submit your new claim to USAA. It would be best if you are honest and upfront with them regarding the crack. They have your first claim on record and can cross reference the damages easily.
Any crack large than a dollar bill cannot be fixed, and should be replaced. You can either replace the glass on your own ($200-$300) with any mobile auto glass company. Or you can follow up with your new claim, where your insurance company will probably charge you %26quot;betterment%26quot; or %26quot;wear and tear%26quot;. You can be charged with up to 75% wear and tear, meaning that even with coverage, you might be paying about $225 out of pocket.
I filed a windshield claim with USAA.... HELP!!!!!?
If the windshield was cracked and not replaced, it will not be covered under the change to the policy. If you had replaced the windshield and the new one was damaged, it would be covered.
You will need to replace the windshield at your own cost, or at least pay the deductible that was in place at the time of the first damage.
All you can expect from insurance is that they will get you back to the situation you were in before the covered loss. In this case, you had a cracked windshield. They will not pay to repair previous damage.
Sorry

Is it easy to take off and replace my jeep cherokee window?
ive got a crack down my windshield in the front of my jeep cherokee. its letting water in and i need to change it. i dont want to pay someone to do it and i can get a windshield pretty cheap. is it easy to take the window out and put another in?
Is it easy to take off and replace my jeep cherokee window?
look on you tube for videos.
i have replaced them before, so i can tell you, to watch out when taking one from a junk yard not to brake it. start at the bottom, and work your way towards the sides first. then do the top.
you can use either a small safety wire, or a small speedometer cable/bicycle cable, or even get the tool from harbour freight. they have the cheapest one that will do the job.
also, make sure you seal it when you put it on your jeep. i have one leak on me.
and you will need a helper.
Is it easy to take off and replace my jeep cherokee window?
I'd not really recommend you doing it yourself especially if you've not done one before bec there are safety issues and the windshield is vital in the vehicle.
Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way if you've got access to a cheap windshield why not call the glass ppl that come right to you and do it on the spot for a fairly good price , just call around.
it depends on what you find easy
its do able if u buy a windshield tool kit at wal-mart or autozone and then get the windshield
ive done it on my gfs 1999 dodge ram 3500
Are you sure? I had mine replaced in my 98 cherokee and it cost $110 and 30 minutes with me watching them do it.

Is it worth the trouble of maintenance than buying a new vehicle?
I have a 4 Cyl Turbo 98' VW Passat and I love it. Lately it's been giving me a great load of problems and I'm up to my eyebrows in finacial burden. The car is paid for and I have already replaced all four rotors and brake pads. I'm well due for a timing belt change and all the other maintenance, plus some cosmetics that would help bring the value up. Now the windshield motor has gone out on me which makes it unable to pass the state inspection.
My question is: Should I tough it out and shell out the money for all that the car obviously needs or would it be better to purchase a new car if I can pay it off within a year or less than two years?
Is it worth the trouble of maintenance than buying a new vehicle?
As a general rule, keeping and maintaining a used car is cheaper than buying a new car.
Consider, a new car will cost you a couple of thousand in a down payment and then $300-$500 a month in payments. You will also be paying higher insurance and registration taxes on the new car. Finally, although you have put a lot of money in the old car, you won't get that much out of it because it is a 9 year old car (unless you are a master negotiator when using it as a trade-in).
Unless you old car is a real lemon, and reliability is a real issue, you are still better off financially keeping the old car running. Keep the VW, but put away money into a car savings fund. Then, when the car gets to the point of being too unreliable, you have have more for your down payment.
Is it worth the trouble of maintenance than buying a new vehicle?
lucky for you to be able to pay off a new car in less than 2 years... get rid of the headache.. trade it in..
If it was a better car I would say get it fixed. but VW has a bad reputation for being problem cars. So get something better. A new car is not always something better either.
Maintenance is cheaper than buying a new car. Can be worth the extra money for peace of mind and less hassle though.
Good timing. Consumer reports just today came out with a story on how people who keep their cars and drive them into the ground (300,000+ miles) will save an average of $33,000.
Think about this. Will your Passat, at its very worst, cost you $300 to $400 a month? That's what you'll be shelling out for a new car, not to mention the increased insurance premiums.
A NEW car is mostly a materialistic thing. If the Passat functions for you keep it and save some moolah.
If your income barely supports your lifestyle then the older vehicle with all of its maintenance needs may be better. Even if you had to make on average $1000.00 in repairs each year, you would be shelling out a lot less money in a year than if you were making a $200.00 monthly car payment.
However if you are making way more money than what you need to support your lifestyle, you might want to avoid the irritation of the clunker and its needs and spend the money for a new car.
The car you already own is ALWAYS the cheapest car you can own. Even with all the repairs you mentioned it's a mere drop compared to the cost of a new car. Remember, when your tires touch the curb at the dealers lot you lose at least 15% (!) of the value of your 'new' car. A '98 vehicle will also be MUCH less to insure vs an '08.

Water pouring into passenger side floor after changing cabin air filter.?
I just changed my cabin air filter out in my 2004 Ford Taurus. It seemed like a real simple project. I took out the old filter and replaced it with the new one. Then there are four plastic nubs that snap back in to the metal. It only goes one way. But yet I have a bad seal around the bottom of the windshield that kind of bows out a little, and that allows the water to pour in. I've checked it over and over but the only explanation I can come up with is the plastic piece somehow became warped and now has to be replaced. Is there a trick to this? I don't want to spend $500 bucks on a piece of plastic. Help!
Water pouring into passenger side floor after changing cabin air filter.?
first remove the cover and filter check to see if the drain hole is pluged you can use a litthe silicone to seal it (the cover not the hole) if you think it needs it also check to see if the drain holes are pluged under the hood
also call the dealer they had a recal on some of thease fot the drains pluging up they will tell you over the phone if yours is on the list
Water pouring into passenger side floor after changing cabin air filter.?
Clear acryllic sealant.
get some clear silicone and run a bead around the windshield and also around the piece of plastic thats warped, let it set up to a rubber feel before installing it.

How do I loosen the lowest bolt holding the battery when changing the battery in 95 chevy lumina?
I'm trying to change the battery myself but there is a brace holding the battery in (the battery is located under the windshield wiper fluid). There was a bolt at the top, which I got out, but there is another bolt almost at the bottom of the brace which is at the same level as the bottom of the battery. It's really hard to get at. Even a straight tool wasn't working for me because the hoses/wires that connect to the battery are really stiff and I couldn't get them out of the way enough to grab onto the top of the bolt. Thank you for any helpful suggestions!
How do I loosen the lowest bolt holding the battery when changing the battery in 95 chevy lumina?
Get a 18%26quot; socket extension on a socket wrench to remove that bolt.

just break it off man sorry keep trying but once you get it out leave it out you shouldnt be having a problem really most you can get a shocket on

I have a problem with my windshield wipers for a ford f-150 can anyone help?
i have a f-150 and resently my wipers went out, i know is not a fuse, the relay or the switch because i changed them all out but i also have problem with the dome light and the temp gauge the seem not to work i think i have a problem somewhere where they all meet
I have a problem with my windshield wipers for a ford f-150 can anyone help?
The Mechanic Queen is here not to worry.
Lets start with a simple check process.
get you a test light from Autozone or a nearby Automoitive oparts store.]...they sale them for around $4.00
get the one that has the ice pick so you can probe the wire and check for continuity.
Make sure it is a 12V tester
Then go to your fues box and clamp the alliagtor clip from your tester and ground it to a metal on the truck. make sure you get a good ground so that it lights up.
Then touch the fuse with truck running so that they all get fire.
Make sure you touch both ends of the fuse, this way there is no secodn guessing.
If everything checks out okay.
The turn on your windshield wipers and go to the motor and probe the hot wire going to your windshiled wiper motor and see if it lights up and if it deas light up, then you have a burned out motor.
I have a problem with my windshield wipers for a ford f-150 can anyone help?
Could be a computer part too. MOST parts stores can run a diagnostic check for FREE to help pinpoint what is causing it. There are many onboard computers on vehicles today and if one is sending a wrong signal it'll play hell with a lot of things.
pay a mechanic
check the ground on the wiper motor. if you have a good one check the hot as well. you most likley need a wiper motor. common problem.
just dont drive in the rain and i will promiss you that you will be fine.

How to make the heater control switch to change in my 1988 Chrysler Fifth Avenue?
I can't get the heater controls to switch from the windshield to the vents or floor. All it does is blow at the windshield. When I push the buttons they don't seem to work. They move too easy. Is it a vacuum problem or is the control panel bad?
How to make the heater control switch to change in my 1988 Chrysler Fifth Avenue?
could be either or both. the control panel is vacume operated.

97 Volkswagen Jetta - Windshield Wipers quit working?
Been having this problem for the last 2 years. My wipers will work for a little while, but when i try to change speeds or turn them off it will blow a fuse. If i replace the fuse, it will work again, but only for a short amount of time %26amp; then i have the same problem. Have taken the car to several dealerships %26amp; mechanics %26amp; nobody can ever find anything wrong. They all say that everything looks fine %26amp; just replace the fuse %26amp; a few weeks later I am in the same boat again. anyone have any ideas what could be the problem %26amp; any ideas on how to fix it?
97 Volkswagen Jetta - Windshield Wipers quit working?
there's a motor attached to the begging of the wiper blade (under hood, driver side [usually]), change the motor.

I just had an oil change on my 2000 honda accord at firestone today?
only to get home and find a little smoke coming out between the hood and the windshield. this has never happened before, is this something i should be worried about?
I just had an oil change on my 2000 honda accord at firestone today?
As an ex-mechanic I know when you add the oil into the engine often a little spill . Imagine pouring soda for one bottle to the other the hole is small and sometime a little will run over the side. A funnel can stop this but some garages frown upon the use of funnels because in between uses the oiliness on the funnel will pick up foreign contaminates that are harmful to the engine
I just had an oil change on my 2000 honda accord at firestone today?
They probably just spilt some oil on your exhaust, it will burn off and then the smoking will stop, its usually because of the akward placement of the oil filter
they probably spilled the oil when they were putting it in.
Yes...maybe they spilled some on the exhaust
BUT%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;
They could have left the oil fill cap off
thats not good..look under the hood
Take it back to have it checked
Oil spilled on the exhaust, don't worry about it will burn off...
Only if it doesnt go away sometimes when changing the oil on these hondas some oil lands on the exhaust pipe and burns off creating this smoke if you dont feel safe take it back im sure they will check it and clean any residual oil that may be left there continuing to burn off.
I don't think so. A lot of times when they change your oil they do it really fast and spill some. When it heats up it burns causing the smoke. It will probably be fine. Just check your oil and make sure it't not too low. I have heard of ppl not refilling the oil once they drain it and that also could cause the smoke.
definably spilled oil on exhaust

91 Cherokee. Where's the Windshield Wiper Relay?
Does anyone know where this relay is located. My windshield wipers work for a little while, then shut off. But....we can't figure out where the relay is to check it and change it.
1991 Jeep Cherokee Limited 4.0
91 Cherokee. Where's the Windshield Wiper Relay?
On Fords, it's on top of the drivers' side wheelwell in a roughly 5%26quot; x 10%26quot; plastic box. It's almost got to be someplace similar on the Jeep. Remember that it can't be too far from the fuse box.

Is there something wrong with the 99.5 Vw Jetta.. It has a mix of both 99 and 00. This car is the WORST?
So in the 2 years or so we have owned this...
My boyfriend gets home from dealership, engine light comes on. There is no Catalytic Converter in the car.
Alternator rebuilt, rebuilt went couple days later, another alternator
Summer of 07 Transmission goes. New Clutch Summer of 07 1 month and half later jumps timing and something happens but it able to be rebuilt.
Spark plugs
E-brake stays engaged on one side
Window leans in off track or something
Wiper motor went
Summer 08 Slight ticking noise, eventually gets louder, soon after that holes in the piston and valves completly bent. Had to get another engine
Changing wipers, arm craked windshield, windshield replaced (our fault)
O2 sensors
Batteries died in Key fob
Sometimes key fob will decide not to unlock with the button
Cold night, starter went
Wipers again, wipe veryyy slow then go back and tick for about 10 seconds - Sometimes dont wipe at all
Then everytime turn the car on wipers dont wipe but make ticking sounds and tick in place
All rotors and ball joints whatever decided to go one right after another
I'm sure I have forgotten plenty. You name it!! Is this common with this year especially? Does that maybe have something to do with it? I'm a female and rarely drive my car, mainly because I'm afraid.

bought a lemon - call 1-800-lemonlaw
Its a used car and thats why someone qualified should check it out before you bought it.
VW doesn't make reliable cars anyways but this car was abused.
Steven - Its about 10 years too late to be crying lemon.
No catalytic converter means your engine check light will be on forever in any OBD 2 car ( cars made after 1996). VW's are excellent cars if maintained properly. A nightmare if neglected.

If the starter on my car is out does that mean my radio wont work until I get it changed?
The starter on my car went out about a week ago. My lights come on and everything but my radio and windshield wipers dont work. Does this have anything to do with the starter not working at the moment or is there a blown fuse or something? Thanks in advance.
If the starter on my car is out does that mean my radio wont work until I get it changed?
The Or something is correct
If the starter on my car is out does that mean my radio wont work until I get it changed?
Sounds more like a dead battery then a starter problem. is the starter making a click noise when you turn the key on? if so that is the starter not having enough power to start the car. Many problems that are diagnosed as bad starters are infact a charging system problem. A mechanic will know this and deal with it accordingly.
If there's a in line fuse,, other then that a blowed fuse in the fuse box My answer to your question is,,,, No
check your fuses ....... and have the starter tested you may have poped a fuse and thats your whole problem your car wont turn over
May be a bad battery and and/ or problem with the charging system. Could also be poor contact on the battery terminals. Have a reputable mechanic check it out for you.
