    Why are these so cheap now?

    I am seeing a direct connection in the midwest of car prices to fuel prices. Suv's will increase in value now that we have under $2/gal for unleaded. I can find Saturn sedans with 44k mi to 70k miles around $2400 to $1500. Last year they were over $6k with 44k mi easily sold daily when fuel...

    S$%*!!! Non start! Fuel pump not kicking on

    How do I reset the fuel pump? Explains the temp sensitivity- when it warms up it will work. Im 100% sure it will fail this winter since it gets down to -25F actual temp. ___________________________ Checked inertia first. A OK. Listened for pump to kick on. Neg. Reset security...

    S$%*!!! Non start! Fuel pump not kicking on

    I have not checked any relays, grounds, connections since the starter issue. I have not tested the fuel pump at all. As rusty as this Explorer is... mixed with cold... could be any wiring/connection issue anywhere. Last time they were all good. Relays have some burns on them but I think...

    Door Lock Problem

    All switches work. None of the 5 will make the hatch lock rod go fully up or down. Power does go to the lock actuator and it does move but not far. Must be stuck or the actuator is not forceful enough or the wiring is bad. Going to get to the wiring soon. Still havent found the bad part of...

    charging problems

    If you replace alternator but not battery, then run it and it fails; then replace battery with a now used alternator; then fail again... could it not be failed wiring or ground? Replace alternator and battery. I hear replacing one and not the other will cause continual failure. I have not had...

    What purpose does the Battery Saver have?

    Still working great. No issues since. Does it make sense to upgrade the fuses? To me having too many amps could start things on fire.

    What purpose does the Battery Saver have?

    Problem Resolved! Alternator is just slightly above middle. Charging system is working. I resorted to new updated diagram of fuses and relays. I cleaned 3 grounds in engine compartment. Chiltons had higher amp fuses so I replaced a "15a stock" with a 20a. thanks for some help!
