Do stars in a constellation actually forms a cluster of stars?

In most cases, no. In many cases they're nowhere near each other in three-dimensional space, and only appear to be near each other from our vantage point. There are a couple of notable exceptions; for example, most of the bright stars in Ursa Major (including all the stars in the "big dipper" except for Alpha and Eta, which are the ones at each end) are part of the Ursa Major Moving group (not quite a cluster, but definitely associated with each other).

I believe that when the PATS theft light is blinking RAPIDLY it is because you are trying to start the car with a non-PATS coded key. If it is blinking every couple of seconds SLOWLY, it just means the system is monitoring the ignition.

How do you change the instrument panel bulbs tachspeedo on a 1999 explorer xlt?

You have to pull the instrument cluster. The finsh panel needs to be removed first (screws are located inside the cluster area then there are a couple of clips holding it in.), the cluster is held in by 4 screws, once they are loose you should be able to lay the cluster forward, there are little sockets that can be turned a quarter turn that pull out, the bulbs are in each socket sockets may be white, gray or black. The bulbs are special and hard to find, you might have to go to a dealer to get them. If anyone has a better source for them I am all ears!


How do you replace the alternator water pump belt on 1969 Chevy 350 5.7liter?

The alternator is mounted on an adjustment bracket. You can loosen the lower bolt a couple turns then loosen the upper bolt a couple turns and slide the alternator forward to get the old belt off and the new belt on. Hold the alternator back with a big screwdriver or breaker bar to re-tension the new belt while you tighten the top bolt, then tighten the bottom bolt.


Just bought a new alternator so why the burning smell in the alternator?

Sometimes when parts are new, they have coatings and etc. that will smell when parts are warm. For example, alternator windings are coated with a electrical varnish. When the alternator is charging, it creates heat. This causes the paint to smell and odors such as a burning smell can be common for a couple of days.
