Some new wiper blades come with a clear plastic cover that protects the blade until you have installed it. Check to see if it is still on the blades.

Why wont your duramax start after you replaced the fule filter?

If you didn't fill the new filter up with clean diesel fuel when you assembled it, you introduced air into the system.


You changed the battery in your 1989 crown Victoria and it wont start and wont make any noise at all?

First make sure that this battery has a charge. Check its volts. Then if the battery is good, make sure the conectionns are clean. Then clean the connection to the starter relay ( solenoid ) just beside the battery. Then if needed, clean the conx. at the starter. If all the conx. are good, and still no start, jump the positive battery conx. at the starter relay to one of the small plug in conx. If the starter engages, then possible bad ign. switch. Hope something works. Good luck.


Are the windshield wipers and alternator on the same belt in a 2000 Volkswagen Jetta?

well my friend, your windshield wipers work off of an electric motor powered by your battery which is charged by the alternator, hope this makes sense to you, if wipers arent working it may be a fuse or the electric motor. if your alternator belt is not on or your alternator isn't working your battery will bo dead pretty quick and your car wont start at all. hope i helped sharris@maplenet.net if you have any car questions

Should you put your windshield wipers up during a snow storm?

Some people choose to do this to prevent the wipers from freezing to the car, and to make it easier to clean the windshield.I disagree 100% with these people. All this does it allow ice to collect all over the wipers, makeing them difficult to clean. The first thing I do when cleaning my car is to turn it on, full heat, with defroster on. I then clean the top/rest of my car. By the time I get to the windshield, the wiper area would be melted. I can then lift the wipers and clean the windshield, and my wiper blades do not have a spec of ice on them, so they wont streak all over the windshield. Try using your wipers after leaving them up, and the blades dont even touch the glass, ice does. Clean them off? You risk chipping the (rubber) blade, since its frozen and covered in ice.

Why do the windshield wipers on your 94 jeep wrangler stop in the middle of the windshield when you turn them off?

Just to bug the crap out of you. That is just the way they are. My 95 is the same. Just think happy thoughts when you look out of the windshield. Eventually you wont even notice them any more. Answer, I also have a wrangler 1991 that does that too. It stopped at the bottom to the windshield, until i replaced the windshield. then it started stopping up about 1/3 of the way. I believe that whatever tells the windshield wiper to stop got misaligned, but im too lazy to fix it.
