on most late model trucks dodges like to put the brains of the air bags under the dash at the transmission hump. the air bags checks to see if you have the seatbelt on before it goes off and the passengers weight on some trucks. that is what they call multistage driver and front-passenger air bags with an occupant classification system ocs that adjusts the deployment force of the passenger-side front air bag based on passenger weight that being said a good place for the wires on the seat sensors would be the transmission hump. please for your family and the familys that will have your truck after you!!! take it to the dealer. i just installed a cb bracket on the floor in front of the center seat. after screwing the bracket to the floor the airbag light stays on. i noticed there are wires running under the carpeting in this area. does anyone know if these are in fact the airbag wires and if so how do i lift the carpet to see what the problem is if the wire did get cut by the screw is it easy to replace thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me. .

steve@carolinabreezehvac.com webmaster@carolinabreezehvac.com wrote in it sounds like you fried either the ignition module or the computer. what year is it -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving id check for a fuse link first..altho its very possible that the mis-application of 12v where 12vaint supposed to be may have shorted the primary windings in the coil.. applying 12v to the ground side of the coil should not have hurt it since there really is no way through the coil to ground that way but you did make a valid point of checking the fuses first. the problem as i see it is that he sent a hell of a lot of currrent through the ignition controller by attaching 12v directly to its input which caused something to fail. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving caravan 3.0 start problem i do have a manual and test gear my caravan wouldnt start --just sputter like it was out of gas while doing some troubleshooting i mistakenly applied 12 volt + to the negative terminal of the coil. after that there was no more sputtering or spark. what could i have burned out where does the negative terminal of the coil go i am able to read engine computer codes--could it also be bad any help greatly appreciated bobby .

closer to what they are advertized to be in many situations. nonsense - its exactly the opposite. advertised mileage is almost always fiction. for many people the way those cars were driven are considered normal driving. for the few who complained i suspect that to be true but once again they were not driving them the way they were intended to be driven. and what is that you buy a car and you drive it however you drive it. obviously if you drive as efficiently as possile youll get better mileage than if you race from stoplight to stoplight. the example that you gave also had the defroster on all of the time which was a worst case condition for that type of vehicle. i think that i used my defroster about 20 times since i bought it in 97 and i lived in nj for most of that time so the constant use of the defroster is not a common thing. if you also want to try and drive it like a sports car then the mileage will be significantly reduced but they are not sports cars. i used to live in nj years ago and you always drove with the defroster on in the morning simply because of the humidity. now i live in florida and everybody always drives with the a/c on 24/7/365. i suspect its the same from here through texas and beyond. the point is that a lot of people use the defroster and a/c a lot more than you might think. thats normal driving. not surprised on the mileage your moms civic got on the trip... hell my corvette got 34 mpg on a 400 mile run down the interstate ..with the speed control set at 82 mph... no starting or stopping very little acceleration...pretty level terrain... yea because you were driving it under ideal conditions and not the way it was intended to be driven. if you get on it since it is a sports car in the city i bet that you get about half of that mileage. just like hybrids will get less than half their advertised mileage when theyre driven under real world i.e. horrible conditions. and what is the advertized mileage of your vette the corvette is someone elses. the simple fact is that they are capable of significant mileage if you drive them that way and even though that cannot be done all of the time they will still always do better than your vette under similar situations. exactly like the hybrids and every other vehicle on the road. still 30 percent less then your moms car...but it made me happy... im sure that it does but that is not realistic driving and ill bet that a hybrid under those conditions perhaps not that fast would be getting closer to 60 mpg. you really need to compare apples to apples. its very simple - hybrids driven normally in the real world dont get anywhere near their advertised mileage. and your proof of this is where and exactly what is your definition of normal my proof is what most people are experiencing right now. normal is how most people drive. most people do not drive the way advertised i.e. maximum mileage is achieved. thats not normal. the next time you go out on the road observe how most people drive. theyre not driving at a steady 45 on a flat smooth road with no defroster or a/c on and the windows all rolled up. theyre speeding up slowing down turning going up and down hills using their accessories etc. thats normal. . 222 299285 4255d851$0$27543$ec3e2dad@.usenetmonster.com bud8car wrote is there an aftermarket driving/foglight with a bracket that will plug into the stock harness auto parts store wants 75 bucks for one oem light. thanks ive not seen one. check e-bay and the bone yards for a replacement. i installed a set of piaas in mine. they fit the round hole perfectly. but i had to make the brackets to mount them. the wiring is a simple + and - just cut and solder to match. -- ..bob 1997 hd fxdwg - turbocharged! 2001 dodge dakota qc 5.9/4x4/3.92 1966 mustang coupe - daily driver 1966 ffr cobra - ongoing project .

buckykatt05@yahoo.com wrote the epa has their own testing system you can see how it works at http//www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/howtested.shtml i always take their ratings and knock off about 10% though they usually seem to be a little optimistic. but they have been getting better lately it seems. i now use their site as research when buying any vehicle or making any recommendations. i was already aware about the un realistic .gov checking. what i wanted to know is how does the computers installed in the late model vehicles work. that is for both the gas as well as diesel vehicles. -- bill p. just dog & me .

greg surratt wrote i found this quote in 2000 the first full year a hybrid -- the honda insight -- was on the market hybrid fuel economy averaged 65 miles per gallon. now with seven hybrids on the market average fuel economy has slipped to around 45 mpg according to edmunds.com. over the same period average horsepower for hybrids has climbed from 73 to 176.4 this year. of course. fuel economy isnt sexy! horsepower is! here http//www.det.com/2005/autosinsider/0503/27/a01-126133.htm good article. tanstaafl ;- yup. if you want to make horsepower you have to burn fuel. but hybrids have certain other advantages. true hybrids that is. several years ago oshkosh diesel made a hybrid of their 8x8 heavy truck. they used off the shelf parts that have been used in diesel-electric locomotives for decades. they went from 2 transmissions and 5 gearboxes to engine generator controller and 4 electric motors. their trucks fuel consumption was cut in half and reliability was doubled. now if engineers can just get that kind of stuff small enough to use in a practical passenger vehicle well be in business. but i dont expect the oil companies to ever let it happen. ap .

jeff mayner wrote a lot of nitrous too. =- http//www.vsmotor.no/envideos.html check out the video second from bottom. best if you d/l it and play separate from browser. caution big files. ill say this that is some badass 6cy m5. jeff it was so bad-ass the camera man was shaking! good thing they showed the et and mph at the end. i couldnt read it on the scoreboard. all that power from so much boot is hard to handle. it looked like it was almost an on/off switch for the power. ether the car was a dog or the tires were spinning from soo much power. in the in car video you could hear that he was on and off the gas the whole time trying to modulate the power and just couldnt. yay for big power! boo for not being able to properly harness it. .
