I finally went to the local junkyard and got one. Before installing it, I noticed that it is not just the top that is cracked, the bottom is too. The top looks pretty easy to replace, but how bad is it to replace the bottom. Am I going to need to take out a bunch of stuff to get to it? Any tips or r...

broken thermostat housing - 98 s70 glt

Hello, I just recently realized that my thermostat housing seems to be broken. The bolt that usually holds on the thermostat cover is gone, and so is some of the cover itself. Any ideas of probable causes, or anything else I should replace along with it? And how does the angle of the cover make a di...

So the common problem with the horn is that they do not work at all? I have seen the "Broken Horn Fix" and "Broken Horn Fix 2". Just wondering because mine is weird in another way. The horn works, when the car is on. But it does nothing when the car is off. It's not too big of a ...

I did go to the dealer with the vin and asked if the recalls had been taken care of. They said that they had been. Does my problem sound like what the recall was for?

One night about 3 or 4 weeks ago, my lights looked dim. I hit a bump, and they got brighter. Well... that bump turned my light on. Then a couple days later, I noticed it again.

I recently had my car plugged up and found out that not only was my air pump bad, but it is showing to replace the PNP switch. How effective is cleaning the contacts by moving it back and forth? Will it just do the same thing in a week if it is not replaced?

It may be that you need a new lock module. I am having a similar problem and everyone is telling me the same thing.

When I bought the car, about a month ago, none of the windows, sunroof, door locks, power mirrors worked. He said that it was the "main relay", which I found out was the master window switch. Replacing that solved the other problems, but the door locks remain a mystery to me. I am guessing...
