95 Neon Both Rear Turn Signals flash

 This is a good one. When I signal left turn everything is fine. When I
signal
right, BOTH my Taillights flash. When I hit the brake while right signal
flashing
it just becomes solid. Also interior lights flash, cept for
domelight.Weirdest
thing I’ve ever seen.
  I have already swapped bulbs, stoplight switch, flasher, and turn signal
switch/lever off the column. Same problem all around. ALso when I pull my
fuse for
taillights under the hood they just stay solid. There has got to be a
short, or
bad ground, as for where or what I dont know. If anyone has anymore
suggestions
I’m open.

1994 Caravan rack & pinion seal

  Hello. My brothers 1994 Caravan is leaking power steering fluid out
of the rubber boot on the end of the rack and pinion. Obviously the
seal inside is blown but my question is…How hard is it to change
just that seal as opposed to pulling and replacing the entire rack and
pinion? Any input or links to appropriate websites is appreciated as
this thing is leaking badly. Thanks

question regarding heating/ac fan, 98 voyager

The fan in my 98 voyager completely died, with nothing at
all happening when I went through the various rotary
switch settings.

When I drove up to the shop, it came on and did fine.

It died again an hour later.

Drove to shop, it’s fine.

This has happened a bunch of times by now.

The folk there suggest that it’s probably the fan
motor with a "dead spot" (they had a differnet term
which I’ve forgotten). They figure what’s happening
is that sometimes the motor shuts off with everything
positioned just wrong, so turning it on does nothing.

Then, a bit later, after some potholes…. it gets
shaken and moved enough to get to a "live" portion
and comes back.

They recommend replacing the fan assembly (this is the
one that’s right behind the passenger side glove compartment).

It makes sense to me, but I figured I’d ask around
for a second opinion before committing the cash.

Thoughts? Thanks muchly.

Old fallacy needs put to rest

Hi,

I saw a recent post here where one poster told another, manufacturers
have to support vehicles for 10 years after they stop producing them.

Well let me tell you, I worked in 2 dealership shops, and there is no
such law, requirement, stipulation, nothing that says Chevy must
provide parts and shop manuals to dealers for 10 years, nothing of
the sort.  I remember very well a 6 or 7 year old Ford we needed a
door panel or such for and Ford didn’t make it.

This is horribly exhibited in some of the chinese junk that is being sold
in the US right now, all kinds of scooters, small dirt bikes, etc., sold
with no parts inventory or support of any kind, in the US.

The guys selling these tell you they can get parts or worse they tell
you the bike is a copy of, lets say a 125 Honda, and you can use
those parts.  Well good luck with that one.

Caravan: Both front calipers seized????

 Hello all. OK just to keep it short, my brother has a 1994 Dodge
Caravan with the 3.0 engine and automatic transmission. This may or
may not be relevant to what I am about to ask but at the beginning of
last week he had the rack and pinion changed.   Now he says when he
drives after about 20-30 minutes of city driving the brakes begin to
drag badly so that the van is hard to drive. He said last night it was
so bad when he got home he saw both front calipers "glowing red". I
just had time now to pull of the front wheels and had him pump the
brakes and hold the pedal down and opened the bleeders and both had a
strong fluid pressure so I know the master cylinder is working fine in
that regard. My question is..Is it possible BOTH front calipers are
going bad at the exact same time and if that’s unlike what else could
I look at as the cause? Thanks in advance

Oil in radiator…

… in my ’97 Plymouth Neon Highline, AT, 2.0L 4 cyl. I immediately
thought "bad head gasket" and have had a couple of other people suggest
that. But my oldest son says that would cause the *opposite* (i.e. water
in the oil). He says it could be a bad water pump seal. What do you guys
think?

98 caravan 3.0 wont idle.

okay so a while ago, my moms caravan was overheating so i replaced the
thermostat. in the process i snapped one of the housing bolts and i didnt
have the tools to remove the remainder of the stud. so there it sat for
about 2 months until i purchased a propane torch and vice grips. the torch
wouldnt fit in that small space so i removed the distributor but i forgot
to mark the timing and i lost it completely. i finished installing the
thermostat and started working on the timing of the distributor.  we
finally got it running but now it runs for 3 seconds then dies at idle.
the weird thing is that when i go to start it, the engine turns over but
doesnt start. the second time i try and start it, in the middle of
cranking the engine will just stop abruptly like its jammed then start
spinning again and fire right up. then it starts to idle rough. i
unplugged the idle valve and it runs a bit better but then it runs very
rough and when i give it gas is sounds like theres a violent muffled
"CRUCKCRUCKCRUCK" inside the engine. i thought it could be the old common
plugged cat but i pulled it out and it was clean. i dont know what else it
could be, ive changed the plugs cap and rotor and still the same problem.
i even replaced the idle valve and it did nothing so i returned the part.
somebody please help me im running out of ideas. theres no check engine
lights and no codes. it runs but idles poorly when i unplug the map sensor
and tps and iac all at once but then it overheats.

2.5L 4 cycliner Dodge

Hello All,

I have a 91 Acclaim with 4 Cydlinder 2.5L engine.  As i drive half
hour ago, I got oil warning light on. I pulled over and findout the
engine was pouring oil down. I could not locate where the oil was
coming from as it was snowy outside.

It comes from the behind the engine, and i pours down where the oil
plug is. I checked the oil plug and it is there and thight. I cannot
think of anywhere else where it might leak. Can you think what might
be problem.

PS: oil is not dripping but pouring. the pulley side or transmision
side or front side are all looks clean. only behindthe engine it
pours.

Ulas.
