    The LED light is blinking an amber color. dont know if the battery is charging or not. Does anybody know what these two black wires are for?

  • Ford Explorer front/passenger window goes down but not up?

    The window was inoperable both directions, so i replaced the motor.

    The window now only will roll down and not up.

    I was able to roll the window up by jumping power to the motor.

    Replaced the switch with a known good switch, and the window will still not roll up.

    When holding the switch in the down position i get 12v and ground at the switch.

    When holding the switch in the up position i get 12v and 8v on the other side.

    Looks like I have a short to power or a damaged wire somewhere? Any body have a similar problem or can point me in the right direction?

  • How can I get a student loan?

    I need about $3,500 in the next few weeks to pay for my summer classes and rent. I have already reached my limit for federal loans (FASFA). I can not get any more from the government in stafford loans subsidized or unsubsidized. I do not qualify for any grants ( Pell Grant, etc.)

    My parents declared bankruptcy, so they cannot cosign for me. I have terrible credit myself, about a 530 credit score. I talked to the financial aid office at my school, and they told me my only option is an alternative private loan, i've applied for a few and was turned down by all of them. Are there any other options?

    NOTE: I've already been turned down for the Parent PLUS loan, which raised my limits for stafford loans. I have already reached that raised limit.

  • Why haven't manufacturers been using direct injection?

    Direct injection is obviously a better choice with more power, and better fuel economy. It's been around for decades, so why haven't manufacturers been using it?

  • 2000 Toyota Camry O2 stuck in manifold?

    2000 Toyota Camry 3.0L V6, the bank one sensor one heater circuit is bad and needs to be replaced. The O2 code is actually causing the TRAC OFF light to come on. Tried to replace the O2 but whoever changed the last one must have crossthreaded it because i could not get a full turn out of it even after using penetrating oil and heating it with a propane torch.

    Going to try again tomorrow to get the sensor out this time probably heating with an Oxy/Acetylene Torch. I'm worried about the threads on the exhaust manifold, i do not want to but a 250 dollar manifold. Any Ideas or Suggestions?

  • What would be a good glaze/sauce to put over this salmon?

    I'm marinading salmon in a mix of Soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, basil, garlic salt, and pepper.

    I'm going to pan sear the fillets, and then bake them in a glass dish with some of the marinade still in the dish.

    Is there any EASY sauce/glaze i can make that would go with this particular salmon? I don't have much in my kitchen so an easy sauce with common items would be nice. Thanks.

  • Intermittent trouble idling after starting.?

    2000 Toyota Camry 3.0L V6.

    200,000 Miles, Newer Motor.

    Sometimes right after starting it, it will idle really low and some times die. If you give it some gas it will drive fine, but the idle will drop really low/die when you let go. But when you turn it off and then restart it, it will work fine. Sounds like an Intermittent IAC problem to me, but how should i start checking it,i don't have a scan tool with me. Just some basic tools, Anybody know where i should start? Or, anybody think it could be something else?
