It could be that the linkage rod popped off, but you would hear all kinds of noise coming from under the cowl. I would check the nut that attaches the wiper arm to the hub. It might have a plastic...
This is a very common question for many people as the service intervals tend to vary depending on the make of the vehicle, the specific type of service being recommended and the recommended return for service date as indicated by...
Hi there. Chances are the latch assembly is either faulty or the lever linkage has become detached. The door panel will need to be very carefully removed from the inside and the latch and linkage assessed. If the latch is...
If you are getting spark and fuel to the engine then the only thing left to check is the compression in the engine. Have a compression test done to see if the timing belt may have jumped timing. You should...
Your vehicle can be locked with the wireless remote control system, so that you don’t have to use a key. To lock the doors, press the lock button (an image of a closed padlock) on your wireless remote, when within...
If the tire's internal cords are damaged it can cause a wobble. Another possibility is that the rim is bent. You should replace the tire or rim if either are proven to be damaged. If the weights came off then...
Usually a hissing noise when you hit the brakes involves the vacuum brake booster. But it seems unlikely that working on the brakes should effect this component. Changing brake pads and rotors is a pretty straightforward job, even on a...
It sounds like the bulbs need to be replaced in the rear. I would have a technician, from YourMechanic, come out and replace the bulbs and test the voltage going to the connector.
Hi, thanks for your question. Did the technicians inspect the differential fluid for signs of damage? The vehicle maintenance program lists the differential and transfer case fluid to be inspected at 40,000 miles. You can ask the dealership personnel if...
Hi there. This sounds like a throttle position sensor problem. The throttle position sensor relays the position of your foot on the pedal to the car's ECM, which then tells the fuel injection system how much more or less fuel...
Hi, thanks for writing in. This is a pretty good deal for this sort of work considering that the whole transmission will have to be removed from the vehicle in order to replace that seal. This labor is even more...
Hi there. Usually this type of humming noise is caused by a faulty ground connection, so if the previous mechanic replaced and repaired those issues, it's very difficult to pinpoint the source of this problem. It is quite possible however,...
Hello, thanks for your question. In order to answer your question I would need more detailed information. Power steering systems use hoses, a pressure hose, and a return hose. The pressure hose goes from the pump to the power steering...
This is not an error. The crank shaft goes around two times to the distributor one time. This means if you put the number cylinder on the compression stroke top dead center and line up the distributor then if you...
If you have just installed a new fuel pump and can not hear it come on when you turn the key to the run position (not the start position), you may have a ground issue. You can also perform a...
It sounds like you may have a power steering rack that may be putting too much strain on the power steering pump causing it to leak or fail. The rack and pinion gear set does two things: It converts the...
Hi there, thanks for writing in. In most cases, if you have an error code show up, make the change of components and don't reset to the error code with a digital scanner, the issue will still continue. This is...
Depending on the size of the crack in the manifold, this could potentially cause something like this to happen, however it may also be related to other issues as well. Stalling and lack of power may be also caused by...
Typically the "hot cam" engine lope is caused by restrictions in fuel flow at idle. Along with changing and inspecting the sensors and items you described above, most mechanics will clean the throttle body and fuel injectors as this is...
Is there a severe lack of power along with the misfires? A clogged catalytic converter can cause misfires and cause the check engine light to flash. These trucks are sensitive to the type of air filter used and using the...
If all of your concerns began after the battery was replaced then it sounds like the battery may not have been installed correctly. The battery is the main power source that powers the entire vehicle on startup. If the battery...
Hello there, thank you for asking about your 2004 Honda Civic. You should try to disconnect the AC compressor and run the car as if the AC compressor is plugged in to see if the fuse blows still. If it...
It may be possible the new batteries were not installed properly or the circuit boards inside the key fobs may be damaged. You can try another set of new batteries and make sure to follow the symbols on the inside...
