Q: Stearing wheel becomes hard to turn when brake pedal is depressed

Inserting a CD into the CD player is very easy. Make sure the CD is face up (printed side up), then insert it into the CD player. After the CD is partially inserted, the CD player will pull it in...

Hi there, thanks for writing in. I would suggest replacing the battery first. A battery at 10V usually means one of the cells has failed. The P0306 code (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/p0306-obd-ii-trouble-code-cylinder-6-misfire-detected-by-jay-safford) points out a misfire on cylinder 6. Since it is only...

Hi there. It sounds like there is a restriction in the linkage (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/windshield-wiper-linkage-replacement) that your wiper motor (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/windshield-wiper-motor-replacement) is connected to. It is possible that one of the rods has been bent and now does not move as it was...

Corrosion builds up between the battery post and cable, creating electrical resistance. This becomes harder and harder for the alternator to...

Yes, you are absolutely on the right track but to complete the diagnostic job you will need the complete circuit diagram (Factory Service Manual, for instance) because you will have to test all the different segments of the circuit until...

Hi There, It sounds like you may need to have the cylinder head replaced depending on the damage to the valve seat area. I would suggest having the head pulled off and inspected to determine if it may be reconditioned,...

If you have a weak battery or a starter that turns engine too slow can cause the crank or cam signal to not be strong enough and may cause stalling. If the crank sensor is not in sync with the...
