Car keys off but fuse still lights up the tester when set to ground @MikeSaull good point about switched grounds. Could also simply be switched downstream of the fuse (but still on the +12V side of the load) |

Motorcycle Front Forks: Fork tube stuck in bottom pipe - clunking sound when trying to remove I have to believe that the groove in the "pipe" is supposed to contain a bushing, and that there's another bushing pressed into the top of the slider. Neither of these are shown on the two diagrams you linked, but I don't see how the fork would work without them. You got the other side apart, were these bushings present? |

2003 Acura TLS running hotter than usual Can't hurt, but I can't think of any super-likely codes for these conditions. |

'99 Audi A4 seat belt warning sign The answer isn't talking about airbags, but seat belt pre-tensioners. I think the caution is a good one, especially when it comes to potentially rendering them inoperative. |

Is brake working with clutch in ford econovan 1989? Not sure about this specific vehicle, but cars with hydraulic clutches will often share a fluid reservoir for both clutch and brakes, but the master cylinders are obviously separate. |

Best way to remove partially stripped and rusted fuel filter nut? Also, use a flare nut wrench rather than the open end of a combination wrench (or worse yet an adjustable!) |

What clues are there to identify real mileage? This brings up another good point. Check the date code of the tires and their state of wear and compare this to what the seller is telling you. If the seller assures you the car is rarely driven, you'd expect older tires, or at least newer tires with essentially no wear. |

Can my tire blowout be attributed to a lower speed rating? Your Q rated tire example would still only be a problem when travelling over 99mph. Load ratings, on the other hand, must be taken into account at any speed. |

Is there any chemical to put on windshield to reduce temperature inside a car? H2O, when colder than the temperature of the windshield, will reduce the temperature inside the car. |

VW Golf 2.0 SDI (2005) - smokey when pulling away With such short trips making up the bulk of your driving, I'd say that this exhaust fouling is a likely cause of your smoky exhaust. |
