I have a 2001 mondeo estate. The cigar lighter by the handbrake works but
will not charge a mobile phone or radar detector, yet the 12volt socket in
the boot works fine. A friend has the same problem.
Does anybody know how to fix this issue ?

I have a 1993 Grand Marquis.  I want to change the wipers, but not just
the refill - the whole blade.
But I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to get the metal frame
that holds the refills off of the arm that attaches at the base of the

Just saw my first picture of the 2007 Edge. It has that "high beltline" look
which I cannot stand. What is driving this design in most new cars? Is it
simply copcat style or a way of meeting some regulatory standard (safety or
other)? Inquiring minds want to know. Anyone on the ...

I bought my 99.   I would have bought it last year when I bought ...

When I took my 02 Villager in for a misfire the service tec recommended a
"3 pack service".  I declined due to the fact that plugs and wires solved
the problem.  Can anyone shed light on what a three pack is? (other than
the obvious beer jokes!)

My 2001 Mustang convertible is leaking water in the rear boot. I took a
quick look, and before I start ripping things apart there are 3 separate
brackets holding the convertible top to a gasket, then bolted to the trunk.
It is leaking in the 2 spots where the brackets are not ...

Does anyone know if the ABS can be shut down by pulling a fuse. I believe my
chattering brakes happen when I apply a fair amount of pressure to the
brakes above about 30 MPH. This problem started right after I had someone do
a brake job (all 4 wheels).

sorry to "bump" my post, but there doesn't seem to be a way to
subscribe to just a discussion?
Anyhow, here was teh last thing I was wondering in my previous
discussion....

I need to replace the actuator for the left rear door lock. Got the
panel off, external screws out, but, while I can get my hand on the
mechanism, can't figure out how to get the thing out. If anyone can tell
me how, I would appreciate it.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any good synthetic power steering
fluids.  A few years back, I had 1993 Ford Ranger and a round 200,000
kilometers, the power steering became inefficient and very noisy.  One
day I was in Walmart and noticed the store brand synthetic power

Hello all! I have a 1990 Ford Ranger (v6 2.3l) and this has been
happening since I aquired the vehicle. I go to accelerate and it won't
kick into a lower gear until I let off the gas. A friend of mine was
riding with me and said it was a "kick-down" cable. My Haynes manual

I have retreived the codes for a 93 ford escort with fuel injection and
I do not understand the translation.
The message that I get is "pulse width is wider than expected".  That
is not actually verbatum, but that's the drift.  I have replace the O2
