Had a 92 ford mustang 2.3L changed engine to the 5.0. After the engine change I noticed that the check engine and air bag light is flashing. Has anyone had this problem, what may be the cause? I read somewhere that it could be a module. What could it be, looking for specifics without having to take my engine apart again. Thank You.

I have 2003 trailblazer that has no taillights on the sides but do have in the center

the light bulbs are good and the fuses are good

Normally when the car is turned off the radio will stay on until you open the door.  Now the radio and the clock in the dash will never turn off.  The door switch is good.  Any ideas?

• I tried to charge a spare 12 volt car battery by connecting it to the accessory lighter socket outlet in my 1997 Plymouth Grand Voyager.  What kind of , damage could I have done?  Is there a link to the electric schematic for this vehicle?   Thanks and God bless.
• My instrument cluster guages stopped working while I was driving.  No speedo, fuel, temp, rpm, gear shift, odometer.  All just stopped!  How can I find the problem?  More God bless.
• Also the carpet under the rubber floor mat on the drivers side is quite wet.  Is this a common problem and where could the water be coming from?   Again, Thanks and God bless.

When my headlights are on and I tap my brakes the radio goes off for about 5 secs. It also happens when I use my turn signal. It dosen’t happen all the time but very often.

2002 olds van, lower brake lights, traction control and cruise control not working. Have tried new brake light switch, cruise control module from a salvage yard and still not working. Have been told by several mechanics it was probably multi-function switch but have also been told if turn signals are working it wouldnt be that either.Any ideas

The cigarette lighter on my truck wasn’t working good.  I got a new one, put it in, and now it blows the fuse.  What could be wrong, and how do I test it to see if it is the new lighter or the wiring is bad?

Note: I only had two wires to attach to this lighter even though there were 3 places for wires to be attached to.

Thanks
