the best combo for subs and amps would have to be P.G. amps and jl audio subs

Flipy Floppy

A resistor designed to protect a circuit against overload.

There is really no amplifier on the market which has an output impedance of 4 ohms or 8 ohms. The impedance of an amplifier is always less than 0.5 ohms. We do not use matching, we use bridging when we connect the amplifier to the loudspeaker. Scroll down to related links and look at "Interconnection of two audio units".

2005 Chevrolet Malibu turn signal light bulb lamp replacement procedure: Purchase the correct replacement turn signal light bulb(s) first, before disassembling the vehicle. See sources and related links below for replacement bulb information and full light bulb part numbers list. Then consult your owner's manual for the turn signal light bulb lamp replacement procedure. As simple as it sounds, the owner's manual is the best place to start for bulb replacement instructions and illustrations. You may want to consider replacing both left and right at the same time in order to keep brightness and color equal (optional).

I have the answer to your question about troubleshooting your headlights on your vehicle. I would isolate the wire that comes from the headlight switch to the headlamp bulbs for low beam and check to see if there is a short in the wire. You can find this wire by using a test light turn on the key and get a good ground with the test light poke the wire and see if the test light illunimates with the headlight switch on. Good luck!

check the wires, and check the fuse for your lowbeams. could of blown a fuse on your lows, but your highs will still work.

Every single time I have had a failure of low beam in a headlight without failure of high beam, it has been because the lamp bulb or halogen lamp module has reached the end of its serviceable life, not because of any wiring problems. Low beam burns out first because it is on the most. If low beam is lost simultaneously in both headlights, I would check fuse first, then the headlight switch. If low beam is lost on one side only, it is almost always going to be due to the bulb or lamp module needing to be replaced. In that case, replace them in both headlights because the other one will be going kaput in short order, as well.

CHECK THE DIMMER SWITCH.THAT IS THE PROBLEM MOST OF THE TIME.

Measure for voltage at the light bulb clip first. It could be a bad set of bulbs. If you have no voltage, check fuses, and then check for voltage before the headlight switch. It could be a faulty headlight switch. Measuring a few voltages will tell you what the problem is.

Change the headlight bulb. 99% of the time it is the bulb that is the problem.

Most definitely check out the headlight dimmer control switch .... Ron J.

the lamp is probably bad easy to check look at it. hi beam light do carry more current and tend to fail sooner

unscrewing the lightbulb

Hi bean bulb section burnt out bad hi beam switch bad hi beam relay check the fuses for the headlights loose connections

A theomometer measures how hot a room temperature is or how hot someone is by putting it in someones mouth or measuring room temperature by placing it on a clear surface in the room.

In order to replace the electric window motors on a Pontiac Grand Prix you will need to unscrew the Torx screws on the door, life it back to remove the plastic pieces. Remove all connectors, and the plastic covers.

This problem could be caused by an intermittent short in the wiring, an intermittent open circuit in the wiring, a fault in the internal wiring of the instrument cluster, or a fault with the light switch. Find out wich wire ( color coded in repair manual ) runs the dash lights and follow it with your hand to the light switch. Look for missing insulation that could be shorting against a piece of grounded metal. If you feel a section of wire that feels like the copper inside is broken it is an intermittent open circuit. If you don't find these to be the problem remove the harness from the light switch and jump the dash wire from the power wire and see if the lights still flicker. If they work properly the fault is in the light switch. If not your problem lies in your instrument cluster.

If you do not have an OBD-II tester, and are not familiar with meter's, then simply disconnect the electrical connection at the MAF sensor. If car runs worse, it is probably the sensor. If no change, the problem exists somewhere else. The sensor is located in the air intake duct. Note: The Mass Air Flow element is a sensor, not a module. various sensors throughout the car's Emissions system send singles to the PCM (Power Control Module), which in turn controls proper engine performance. most sensors are basically like an on and off switch....

LED was not actually invented, but discovered. It was discovered by H.J. Round in the year 1907 through a crystal of silicon carbide.

Those two units measure different kinds of quantities. There's no equivalence,

and they can't convert to each other.

Radiant, ravishing, resplendent.

O2 Sensor Low Voltage is either due to a bad sensor or a short in the circuit. Do NOT probe the circuit with an ohmmeter, as the sensor is easily damaged. For the same reason, do NOTconnect a low impedance voltmeter to the circuit - you need a high impedance voltmeter with greater than 10 MOhms impedance, but even that will bias the results. The sensor might be clogged. You can carefully remove it, clean it, coat the threads with anti-seize compound and reinstall it. If it is clogged, however, there is probably something else wrong, such as an engine miss, which needs to be fixed. For specifics, consult the manufacturer's diagnostic procedures.

On the dashboard

The cover for the fuse panel should have a diagram that says what each fuse is... it should be labeled tail lights.

...would be dim.

Look at the upper end of the brake pedal almost under dash

The same as any modern car, i.e. when the engine is not running, 12v power is supplied by the vehicle battery, but with the engine running, 12v power is supplied by the alternator.

either the switch is not working or a wire to the switch is broken

The switch is the turn-signal 'stalk' coming off the steering column. That's where the 2 different switches are located, activated by the movement of the stalk.

The flasher is what generates the blinking action - interrupts the electric current. In years gone by, the flasher unit was a silver can, about the size the old film canisters were, and often mounted directly on the fuseblock...

For reference to more current configurations, the 1996+ Taurus / Sable flashers are a blue rectangular box, and mounted away from the fuseblock (See "Related Questions" below for more)

The knock sensor is in the engine V under the intake manifolds and coolant crossover pipe. As it requires considerable disassembly and an expensive new gasket set to reach it, I suggest you make very sure there is something wrong with it first. You will have to remove the upper and lower intake manifolds and coolant crossover pipe assembly to reach it. Just because you are receiving a trouble code for it does not mean there is anything wrong with it. This sensor shares a circuit with other components that often will set a "ghost" trouble code.
