Driving on the highway last Friday, cruise set at 70mph, flat road, clear day, no rain when all of the sudden the car appeared to shut off for a split second. Gauges went to zero, DIM shut off,...

I don't know how you put 50k miles on a car per year without doing mostly highway miles.

You do not need to remove the control arm. I would check the How-To section for wheel bearing or hub assembly replacement, the process will get you to a point where you can remove the ball joint. I...

Too much camber. When was you last alignment?

I did this a few weeks ago on my 01, wasn't tough at all. Freeing the brake hoses from the caliper was the easy part. Freeing it from the steel brake line was a little more difficult but again...

See if Art's writeup helps you

I have never used the Rain-X themselves but have installed the AutoZone version a number of times with success, everything fits fine. I would never go back to the old style of wiper.

What was the solution out of curiosity?

HA! Holy brain fart. Excuse my extreme dumbness. Combo of having not touched the button in 5 months and being an idiot.

Have not tried to modify. I supposed you could add a switch if you were electrically handy and had a good bit of electrical knowledge, however I wouldn't try.

I will admit, the only time I use my...

I wish I was only losing 1 a year.

Installed a new socket from FCP yesterday as suggested, so far so good, problem seems to be fixed.

FYI, the new OEM socket from FCP comes with a new bulb. May only save someone $5 but figured...

Replaced the deteriorated connector with the OEM replacement from FCP yesterday. I have attached some pics. Took maybe a minute to install, literally. The existing connectors just drop into the...

Looks like you need to cut the existing connectors off and splice the new pigtails into the existing wires. Soldering and heat shrinking is ideal but not sure if it's easily done given the tight...

What you described in your original post doesn't sound like uneven brake pressure. It's the whole "car swerves left sharply but steering wheel turns right" thing that leads me to think this. Uneven...

My DIM is telling me that I have a "Turn Signal Bulb Failure" or something along those lines. I get an accelerated rate of flashing when I put the left turn signal on but when I step outside of the...

+1 to the loose ball joint as a possibility. I replaced mine a few years ago and must not have tightened the nut all the way. It came a little loose on the highway and I feared for my life driving...

Rockit, I did all of the above but will pull it all apart and redo just for good measure. Thanks for the replies as always.

Attached are a few closeup pics. Caliper was nice and free when I took it apart and cleaned it. You can see the one pic that the pad is making good contact with the caliper housing. ...

See pic. Installed new pads, shoes and rotors this weekend, bedded the pads in and noticed this on my passenger side rear rotor. The pad does not seem to be making contact with the inner...

All of the way down at the bottom of the page.

Maybe wiring harness issue? Wires can become frayed/broken from all of the movement of opening and closing the tailgate. Not always diagnosed with visible inspection, sheath doesn't always break.

I have been getting a shudder in my steering wheel recently at 50+mph. Took my car back to the shop that installed the tires and had them check alignment (unlikely) and tire balancing (likely). ...

Year, miles, any CEL lights?

Exactly, dehumidiying. Essentially a dehumidifier and an air conditioner are the same thing except with a dehumidifier the warm dry air is dumped back into the space whereas it is dumped outside...
