I’ve had a Marshall MG 100FX for many years, and this problem has occurred regularly since the first day I used it....

I have an iPhone 6 that came in with water damage. There was the classic C5202_rf short on VCC_Main, which I removed and...

Hey, Tea. What engine does your protege have? There should be two fuse/relay boxes under the hood, the one on the left side should have a relay numbered 19. Consult your owner’s manual for a diagram. Good luck with your repair!

Hey, Daryl. The first thing I suggest is checking for spark. You can obtain an inexpensive tester at an auto parts store, or make your own with an old spark plug. Once you can say whether or not the spark plugs are firing I would check for fuel. Get a can of starter fluid from the parts store, remove the air cleaner assembly and spray a little bit into the throttle body. If it starts up and runs for a moment before dying, you likely have a fuel issue. Let me know how these first tests go and I’ll guide you from there. Good luck with your repairs!

Hey, Dick. If it is a commonly used set of buttons on the remote, it might be that the conductive material on the back of the rubber contacts has worn down. This can be fixed by cleaning them with some Isopropyl Alcohol and applying a small drop of conductive paint, specifically designed for remote control repair. The conductive paint is available on Amazon. I hope this helps. Good luck! If that doesn’t fix the problem let me know.

Typically the hoses are two different sizes, each one should route to the heater core on the firewall. If you let us know what engine size your Trooper has I can try to find a specific diagram.

Hey, Vinnie. The 3rd row of seats shouldn’t have an effect on which master cylinder is used. Instead, be sure to compare engine size. I believe that year offered a 2.4 and a 3.5, and there MAY be a different between master cylinders between the two engine options. Hope this points you in the right direction. Good luck with your repairs!

Hi, Nikki. The Blower “fan” should run constantly if it is turned on. The A/C compressor should cycle on and off at intervals dependent on ambient temperature. If you’re referring to the compressor this is normal function, but if the air stops blowing intermittently you have a poor/failing connection somewhere in the circuit. Let me know if this answers your question.

Hey, Chase. In my experience SNES systems with a no signal issue have problems with the ICs on the board. These can only be sourced from a working SNES making them cost-prohibitive to replace. I have had luck in the past just by cleaning the entire system, especially the pins you’re talking about. I use a toothbrush and 99% Isopropyl Alcohol. If the connector pins are corroded that might be what’s making it difficult to remove. Many SNES systems that worked the day they were put into storage stop working when they get dirty. They collect lots of dust. Hopefully a deep cleaning will help, because the alternative is most often the ICs. Good luck!

The first step is to unhook your negative battery cable. Using painter’s tape, tape the window glass to the door frame to hold it in place. Next you will need to remove the inner door panel to access the regulator. Unfortunately Volvo rivets their regulators into place making them a pain to replace. You’ll have to drill out the rivets and either replace them with new rivets or I recommend replacing them with nuts and bolts. I found this guide online which includes a diagram of the rivets. I hope this helps, good luck with your repair! https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums...

The CV axle won’t need to be replaced if it is simply the leaking seal, but you will need to remove the wheel, brake caliper and the CV axle itself to access the seal. There are videos on YouTube of the process step-by-step, and I can try to answer any additional questions. As far as what kind of seal you need, your local auto parts store will have it in stock. You’ll need to add some transmission fluid to compensate for the leak and for what you’ll lose during the repair. Be sure to get Honda specific ATF. You’ll need to get this from the dealer. Hondas are picky about their fluids and you don’t want to put a generic transmission fluid in them. As far as tools, you’ll need at least a jack, jack stands, basic hand tools, a pry bar, seal puller, and seal installation tool. All of these should be available at the auto parts store and some of the specialty tools may be available to rent. Hope this was helpful, good luck with your repairs!

Hey, Jordan. If rubbing alcohol didn’t work try using a rubber pencil eraser on the terminals. Be gentle, but they should return to a gold shine. While you have the game cartridge open, closely inspect the traces on the circuit board for breaks. If you have a multimeter you could use it to test the integrity of the traces on the board more efficiently than just a visual inspection. Good luck with your repairs!
