Ford - Explorer :: Headlights Blinking On And Off Randomly
When running and turned off, after 5 minutes of being on, the headlights blink on and off randomly. The only way to stop it is holding the brights/blinker/wipers wand back to temporarily engage the brights. Pushing the wand forward to fully engage the brights does not stop the blinking. Not fun for night driving!
View 5 RepliesStalling - Stalls :: 1974 F100 Starts To Chug After 15 Minutes
1974 F100 starts to chug after 15 minutes driving although infrequently when driving at a slower pace. Would happen around the 70mph speed and stop chugs when slowed to 65mph.
Only have experienced this after it's been warmed up, in the past 3 sessions of driving it will do this on freeway when driving 70mph, slow down to 65mph and no issue. Although, it seemed to have chugged once this morning when driving 45mph up a hill when during time engine was partially warm.
Lincoln - Navigator :: Value Of SUV With High Miles / Engine Shut Down Without Warning
I have a 2003 Lincoln Navigator with 156K miles. The engine shut down without warning. Towed it to the nearest Ford dealership. They could not find any codes from the computer, but note that compression was lost in the left cylinder bank. The mechanics said the likely cause is a cracked cylinder head and this known to occur in my model year.

1996 GMC sonoma, 150k, automatic. Parked it today and it wouldn't go into park. First thought was that the cable had stretched but notice that the shift lever wasn't going all the way to the park position. Feels like something is blocking it. Tried it running as well as not running. Of course I can't get my keys out or turn the ignition all the way off so I had to unhook my battery.

My Chevy Cobalt will not start in cold weather. I don't think bad battery is the case here because it's started in warmer temperatures. What could be wrong??

View 2 RepliesFord - Ranger :: 1996 - Steering Jumps / Kicks At Low Speeds
I just bought this Ranger a really bad steering issue. When at low speeds, when I go to turn the steering "jumps/kicks." Then after I straighten out at the end of the turn it jumps in the direction that the steering wheel is being turned. This goes away at higher speeds (40+mph).
I was told by the seller that it needs a new steering pump, but my mechanic said that it was operating well. He noticed that the bearings were loose on the driver side and tightened them up. The problem went away. I just finished driving it for about 20 miles and the problem is back.
What do you think? Is there a way to easily shut off the p-steering to see if that is the problem? Is this a good idea?
Doors :: Grease Stains On The Area Under Door
We have had a 2007 Camry & now a 2007 BMW, both of which get grease stains on the area under both front doors. It is not on the door or anywhere else. Just in the 6 inch or so high area under each front door (both sides, 6 inch by 24 inch area). We also have a Saturn Vue but it does not get them. We can clean it off with Goo-Gone or Dissolve-It, but it still requires hard scrubbing. The car is Silver so the black stains are very obvious.
The BMW dealer said it was some kind of wax they coat things with during manufacture that oozes out of the door, but after 5 years that should be gone. Just frustrating since it so quickly re-accumulates after cleaning.
Isuzu - Ascender :: Loud Whining Sound Coming From Transmission Area
My engine light came on last November which was diagnosed as “fan clutch seized”. My automatic transmission’s coolant fan clutch was replaced. Since then and on more than one occasion while returning from skiing in the mountains, I will hear this loud whining sound coming from the transmission area. I only hear it when the car is de-accelerating and I have not been able to replicate it once I am out of the mountains and the outside temperature is warmer. Is this a faulty fan clutch issue?
