    belt light flashing on my 2008 kawasaki brute force 650?

    Sounds like you have a serious timing issue, and the "Belt" light might indicate a timing belt. Take it back. If you've only had it for a month, you've definitely got a warranty case.

    2004 jeep grand cherokee rear wiper not working?

    Pull the switch, and see if you have power to and out of it. Then, check to see if you have power to the motor. I'm wondering if you have a corroded ground from the motor.

    Should I call the cops on my neighbors for parking way too close to my car?

    How can I safely install a child safety seat in an older car (1994 Honda Civic)?

    I'll try to explain this to you. Federal Motor vehicle Safety Standards 213 and 225 were enacted long after your car was built; thus, the structure to anchor the LATCH system simply isn't there. Anyone who tries to fabricate an aftermarket reinforcement is doing so at his own risk, with no...

    What is the name of the stunt driver more emblematic of Harley Davidson?

    Evel Knievel. He always rode Harleys (Sportsters, I believe). Like Harley, Evel was All-American, right down to his uniform. He was proud of his Country, and despised anyone who spoke against it.

    It can be removed without deploying it, but I wouldn't recommend you try it without knowing what you're doing. You can be severely injured if you trigger it.

    First of all, you have to change the flasher. "Tung sol" flashers require too high a current to flash led's. You need to get an electronic flasher to replace it. After that, you've got me.

    What to do about my good, old 98 Dodge Caravan with some problems?

    Look at a remanufactured engine installed by your mechanic. It's cheaper than a new engine, and comes with a warranty. Mini vans are tougher, particularly Caravans, because they have to raise the vehicle up and drop the engine out from underneath.

    Attn: Mechanics LT1 350 GM motor?

    was this guy a for real mechanic? A starter will not cause the engine to smoke. If the smoke was black, the fuel/air mixture is off; if it's blue, you're leaking oil past the rings or valve guides. Did he refill the coolant? If he forgot, it'll make a funny noise and then seize. THEN you'll get...

    97 pontiac grand am tranny "vanishes"?

    Well, if you just had the fluid changed, check the dipstick to make sure they filled it all the way to the full mark. If that's not it, it sounds like you'd better get MAACO.
