Turn Signals Not Working

96 Bronco (aka money pit) turn signals just stopped working. I checked the fuse and thats fine and the blinkers work fine.

Any ideas? Is this going to be a big ticket item to fix??

Thanks!

Probably the flasher. Should only be a few bucks and easy DIY install - the guy that sells you the part should be able to tell you all you need to know to replace it.

Dakota brakes occasionally smoke?

R

rshack on May 11, 2007

2002 Dakota 4dr crew cab, 6cyl, 2WD, left front caliper brake recently smoking on occasion and can smell heated brakes and aluminum driver side wheel is much hotter than passenger side wheel. Brakes stop ok, does not seem like brake pads are too worn out, replaced out less than a year ago. Question: Should I look for a caliper problem? or, is it possible this problem can be expected to be fixed with new braked pads and rotors trued up? Thanks for any input.Read More

timing advance...

T

thezster on May 11, 2007

I've got an old ski boat with 1000 hrs on it... (not much for a big engine actually) - but it's 17 yrs old. 351 Ford Windsor with a prestolite mechanical advance screw down cap distributor. I just changed it over to electronic for the points/condensor system. When I set the timing - I have no issues - however, I notice that, when I ramp up the rpm's - the advance jumps initially from the proper 6degrees BTDC to around 25degrees BTDC - then drops back quickly while the rpm's are held high (4000+). As I'm getting some pre-detonation (backfiring) when I initially "hit it" - I'm wondering if my mechanical advance system isn't working up to snuff. Should the timing advance stay "up" at rpm - or is dropping back to the lower numbers proper? If I "hit it" then quickly back off on the throttle and reapply throttle - there are no issues.. but I obviously want a smoother ramp up for hard starts. thoughts/suggestions??Read More
