How does a car break the alternator bracket. I have a 1995 Chevy Astro Van and it has broken the alternator bracket twice in about a week or 2. I replaced it and it broke again. How does this happen?

do you mean the aluminum bracket holding the alternator broke at the bolt holes? do you know that there should be a steel bracket BEHIND the alternator also? when engine usually replaced, sometimes this steel bracket is not replaced and instead a shorter bolt is used to fasten alternator (3 bolts) to aluminum bracket. there should be a longer bolt which goes from the front of the alternator on the left side, thru the alternator and thru that steel bracket and into part of engine?? this part not clearly understood as explained to me by mechanic husband. he had the same problem and corrected when bracket kit purchased from local Chevy dealer; about $197 in Hawaii. hope this bit helps...

How do you know ignition relay faulty?
If you mean the relay that controls the starter motor then it is fairly simple. There are 2 possible faults. 1) The relay is working, but is broken or burned out internally. You will hear a click from the engine bay when the key is turned but the starter motor will not do anything, not even engage. 2) The relay is broken. In this case nothing at all will happen when the key is turned.

What would cause a 1992 Sable to be stuck in park with the key stuck in the ignition?
I had the problem with my 2000 regal 2x. They replaced the ignition, which did not work. I went up north and a friend worked at the gm dealer. He said it was the solenoid in the shifter. He replaced the shifter and guess what, it worked!! AnswerActually, I had this happen to my 94 sable and I was trying to get the key out for a while. Make sure the car is in PARK or the key won't come out.

The best I can recommend is to check the alternator. This did happen to me on another car. When I replaced the alternator it started working fine again and now have 164000mi on it when it happened at 103000mi.

Can you eat queso with braces?
Broken brackets happen sometimes during treatment! Most doctors will have to replace a broken bracket on a patient at least once during their braces experience. Usually, it is caused by eating or chewing on something hard or sticky that causes enough force to dislodge the glue from the tooth or bracket. I would call your orthodontist and let the office know that they are broken. Most times, you can shift the broken brackets to a stable position and place wax to help with discomfort until you can make it back to the office to repair the brackets. I have never personally eaten Takis chips, but if they are fairly hard, you may want to be as careful as possible when eating them as to avoid future bracket breakage. I hope this helps!
