Separate names with a comma.
That sounds like some rotating part trying to start up and just twitching for a while before it gets going. One of the many water pumps perhaps?...
Verify that the A/C works. Car this age may have rotted out its evaporator or the valve built into it (in this model) might have failed. Either...
Me either - since on some cars at least the latch mechanism could squish that finger when it tries to restrain the loop of metal that it "thinks"...
Drill holes and use zip ties? I would be worried though that the zip ties might eventually cut through the relatively soft bumper cover material....
The piece shown in the picture looks like a grommet. Usually made of hard but slightly flexible plastic. They don't normally seal anything, they...
Another point - the two voltages that are seen, 13.6 and 14.1, don't really make sense. At least to me. Here: What is float charging and what...
Fair assumption - the car is pretty darn loud at highway speeds.
Also my "estimate the capacity" method ignores Peukert's law. Largely because I have never seen the technical spec sheet for the OEM battery and...
Observer in the hatch area while a helper outside gently hoses various parts of the car's exterior, starting low and working slowly upward. If it...
Back to what an IV curve is, here What Is the Charge Voltage of an AGM Battery? there is an image: AGM Battery Discharge Voltage Chart. It has...
There is a thread in this forum which describes where most of the leaks are from. Long story short, look at the roof near the hinge for the...
Poor choice of words by me. Collapse is when a weak battery has a significant current drawn from it and it falls below 12V, perhaps all the way...
Turning the cabin fan on and off at the lowest speed toggles the "12V" voltage between those two values. Instantly. It might indicate that the...
Update on the original report - car only goes to 13.6 in D once the car has warmed up. Before that it acts like P - always 14.1. Unclear what...
These days I press the release button with my left then stick a finger from my right hand under the hatch at its lowest edge when it pops up, and...
PA car - how rusty is it? Need to consider "body likely to rot out in N years" in that environment. Other than maybe the bumper, those are all...
Is friction all that is holding that backer foam in place?
Radiator support (the one across the top) is bent at the top. The OP may want to pay a body shop to examine it and see how bent up the "frame"...
There are two cables at the 12V positive post, a thick one that goes to the fuse box and a thin sense wire (what is this one called?) which goes...
This one? More on Hybrid 12V (auxiliary) battery charge control | PriusChat The first image shows in that vehicle that nothing much happens with...
