I had to run my defroster after a big rain in my area, and ever since the selector will not go out of defrost (1998 Contour GL). The knob moves as it should, but only defrost vents operate. The A/C works fine, but only from the defrost vents. I have a day off coming up and if anyone has run across...

I have a 91 C1500 Silverado and the upper dash has pretty much disintegrated from age and sun exposure. Have located a replacement dash assy. from a salvage yard. Anyone have experience or tips for replacement for years 88-91? Is this a weekend job, or better just to buy a dash mat and forget it?...

Why are car alarm starter kill relay designed to be normally closed? It would make practical sense to make the relay normally open because when the crooks pull the alarm fuse or the alarm unit out of the car, the car shouldn't be able to start. But in fact it's the opposite and crooks knows about...

I've tried the appropriate newsgroups, but can't get an answer pertaining to a '96 Jeep Cherokee Country. Hopefully, someone here has an idea. For the life of me, I can't locate the blower speed resistor. I only have max speed, and would like to check the resistor before tackling the dash control...

Hello. My 2002 Taurus front defroster is not working. The blower motor is strong, but no air is hitting the inside windshield. I sprayed contact cleaner on the controller switch which did not help. I tried looking under the dash but I can not locate the air flow diverter. Any ideas? Thanks!

I've got a wierd problem to figure out, my next step is to take it to a dealer to try and figure out what's going on, but I thought I'd try here first... I've got a 1999 Monte Carlo LS with 125,000 miles on it. When I brake, hard or soft, with traction (ie: ABS doesn't engage and "Traction" light...

My daughter just called from work. She's in her car and the viper alarm goes off when she puts the key in. Can someone tell me if there is a on/off switch where it's installed so that she can start it w/o the alarm going off? It's 1 a.m. here and I have no other way for her to get home. She...
