  • The first source has the procedure for verifying you have a remote keyless entry system installed and the source is the remote that works with it. The $99 plus shipping price is fairly high, and you may find a lower price, but this vendor often has …

  • The choices are contained in a hidden system file called boot.ini in the C:\ folder. The easiest way to correct it is to remove the system, read-only and hidden attributes on boot.ini, save a copy as boot.old or similar, and edit boot.ini to remove…
  • 2006 was the last year for programming Camry remotes yourself. An automotive locksmith can do it for less than the dealer will, though.
  • The year could be important. Honda had a lot of trouble with the contacts in the ignition switch from about 1994 to 2000. There was a formal recall on the 1997-1999 model years - see the first source. Your symptoms are consistent with bad ignition …
  • The clutch is the part on the front that includes the bearing and the on/off control (a magnetically operated friction clutch) for the compressor. A/C clutches are a high failure rate item, so unless the existing clutch has been changed recently you…
  • Well, let's take a broader look at the power ratio. For a given impedance power is proportional to the square of the voltage. In this case you are talking about raising the voltage from about 14 to about 16 (I hope there is no battery across that or…
  • It would be very bad. A/C evaporators normally have condensation (moisture) on them in operation, which will attract residual flour and form a paste that will never come off. Worse, it will gradually corrode pinholes in the evaporator so the evapora…

  • New drivers should have old cars. Insurance statistics say you, as a new driver, have a 60% chance of wrecking the car in the first year, 80% in the first three years (the third year got me). It is not about being a good or bad driver, but about the…

  • A voltmeter would be a valuable tool for hunting this down. Since it is dying we can rule out parasitic load - the alternator should be keeping up with the load even if it is an amp high. That leaves us with two major possibilities: the alternator i…

  • When researching cars to buy (even though I buy almost exclusively used cars) I go to the first source. I look for patterns of complaints (transmission failures, for example) and I try to read between the lines for what the owner was looking for in …
  • There is a mysterious confluence of the HVAC control cables underneath the radio in the center console. The cables can get out of whack if the housing slips through one of the clamps. You can pull the passenger side of the console, and I think the p…
