Since putting it back I try to turn the key over and when I do that everything clicks off, cab lights, head lights, when I turn it off of start the lights all come back on. Battery is brand new and been tested, starter was tested and passed twice.

When I hook my pliers to the side of the solenoid going to the batter to the wire going to the starter it tries to turn over. Does that mean the solenoid is good or bad since i had to bypass it? If that means its good do i need to trace the wires back to the steering column and if so how do i determine which one is for the ignition?

How do I test an ignition switch, how do I find and test a neutral safety switch, and how do i test the ignition coil? Basically how do I perform the process of elimination for these 4 or 5 issues to get this thing running? ]]> Your Own Projects One to Remember http://www.twoguysgarage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13068 http://www.twoguysgarage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13067&goto=newpost Fri, 10 May 2013 10:21:38 GMT Sorry people, I screwed up by trying to merge two threads.

i have a jetta GL 2000, manual trans and 2 L engine. I overheated for the first time yesterday after about a 45 minute drive. It only overheated on the return trip, i.e., it was fine going there. I shut the car off and within 60 sec the temp dropped to half (90). Upon restart about 2 mins later the temp jumped right back up to too hot. The extreme fluctuation of temp makes me think that i have a stuck thermostat somewhere. any thoughts? ]]> Your Own Projects Andrew R http://www.twoguysgarage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13065 http://www.twoguysgarage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13063&goto=newpost Thu, 09 May 2013 07:40:57 GMT To get your custom mesh reversible jersey, click on the design online button above and be directed to the one of a kind lacrosse pinnies site.

The engine light on my daughters car came on and I had her check the code at the local parts store. It came up with P0171 - System adaptive fuel too lean.

Does this mean the upper O2 sensor needs replaced or where should I start to fix this problem? It stalls out frequently when slowing for a turn or at a stop light.

I noticed that the gauge jumps to the middle range (it has low, normal range, and High - no numbers) when you start it. Engine cold, engine hot, at idle, at 5000 rpm, it is always at the exact same spot. It never varies. It is at zero until you start it, and then it jumps to that spot.

I am suspecting the sending unit is a switch, like used for an idiot light.

Can anyone confirm or deny this? ]]> Your Own Projects olddog http://www.twoguysgarage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13058 http://www.twoguysgarage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13057&goto=newpost Fri, 26 Apr 2013 15:55:51 GMT This is more for sharing new found information.

On my 2003 Explorer I found that my courtousy lights kind of acted up about 2 years ago. It affected how my dash lights and mirror delay lights acted. After a while I managed to create a system where I had things working in a certain sequence. I promised myself that I would fix them soon. Well, soon never really happened and 2 years went by.

A few weeks ago my power widows stopped working. That's enough I had to have working windows.

Not much was online with regards to repairs aside from the obvious 2 fuses, 1 circuit breaker 1 accessory delay relay and the master control switch. All of those proved to be ok. So, deeper I dug.

I found that the harness or loom that leaves the driver's door and enters the inner door jam leading to one of the fuse panels had a break.

That boot that goes from the door to the door jam needs to be pulled back and inspect the wires.

Mine happened to be two black wires, not one but two. Maybe I can fix two problems here.

I stripped back the wires, soldered and heat shrunk. Put everything back together and now everything runs like new.

I did hear reports that a pink wire tends to break.
Truth is any wire can break due to freezing cold temps and constant opening and closing. It's all fatigue

So, if you have a problem chances are, that's where you'll find it.

The actual door panel pops off in 2 minutes. If you want further instructions please ask and I'll be happy to post it. ]]> Your Own Projects Porcupine http://www.twoguysgarage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13057 http://www.twoguysgarage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13056&goto=newpost Mon, 22 Apr 2013 14:09:24 GMT I told you guys a while ago that I got a new toy.
