The short answer is that a tom tom gps is a GPS (global positioning system) device manufacturered by TomTom, a company that started in the Netherlands (though they're world-wide, nowadays).

The TomTom website (www.tomtom.com) doesn't have any specifics about the history of their company name, except that the released "TomTom Navigator," their first navigation software for PDAs, in 2002.

The capacitor charges up when you initially install it and apply 12 volts to the circuit. Its purpose is to smooth out power drops in the 12 volt supply line to the amp. For instance, when the bass hits the speakers, the amperage surge can exceed the amperage the line delivers for a split second, so the capacitor supplies amperage briefly to sustain the power.

Hooking up a small motorcycle battery close to the amp serves the same purpose but is possibly messier because of the potential to leak acid.

For the Ford 7.5 liter ( 460 cubic inch ) V8 :

The spark plug firing order is ( 1 - 5 - 4 - 2 - 6 - 3 - 7 -8 )

The distributor rotor turns COUNTERCLOCKWISE

The marked # 1 position on the distributor cap faces to the REAR and slightly towards the drivers side

The engine cylinder / spark plug locations are numbered :

how to test a rheostat?

It is inside the alternator.

take a 2 ohm bridge into 1 ohm

Check under the rear bumper where the trailer light harness is wired in and check for any corroded, worn or disconnected wires. That is always the first place to look for rear light problems on these vehicles.

You hooked the ground wire to you amp to a hot wire. The hot wire is black and it's the hot wire to the cigarette lighter. I used to be a Ford mechanic and saw this alot and charged people lots of money to fix their Stupid mistake.

the problem is the guage cluster itself and should be replaced with new one from a Chrysler dealer *Thanks Dan, but instead I unhooked the battersy for 5 minutes to reset the computer and now it all works perfect.

I Like Them Facing With The Speaker Face. Otherwise You Defeat The Purpose

The difference between 2 ohms and 4 ohms is 2 ohms.

If your reference to bulbs is light bulbs then yes they can be mixed. The led lamps have to be ballasted to use them in home lighting.

objects which can hold air in them behave as insulaters for example fur,wool,dust etc

A light Emitting Diode....

Yes the z2x820 will do the job with no problem I have one hooked up to two 15'' in bridged mode and they HIT HARD!!!.

i would'nt recommend doing it yourself them airbags can cause serious injury.But what happens with those is there is a little coiled wire in the airbag deploiment system that goes bad with the age of the car and needs to be serviced.Sometimes they become unwound from constant left and right turning of the steering wheel trust me it's not a diy type of fix i know beeen there done that it spells D-A-N-G-E-R have it servied by a dealer!

The flasher is under the dash by the steering wheel column and there are two - one for four ways and one for turn signals. Also check and see if you have any burnt out bulbs as these will also cause them not to work. A burnt out bulb in the front will not let the rear signal work.

This is an indication that there is not sufficient oil in the engine !

Driving could cause the engine to cease, in the worst case it would then be scrap.

A screwdriver is a hand tool used to turn screws, which are fasteners that secure objects together. It typically has a handle and a shaft with a tip designed to fit into the head of a screw, allowing for effective torque application. Different types of screwdrivers, such as flathead and Phillips, are designed for various screw types. Additionally, screwdrivers can be used for prying open objects or as a lever in some situations.

This sounds like a bad light switch. The head lights are usually wired seperately from all other lights so the only common point is at the switch.

bad fuse or there is a short in 1 of the wires under your dash

first you have to buy a amp hookup kit. then the long red wire in the amp kit you take the end with the fuse on it and hook it up to the battery. then you have to drill a hole in your. firewall and run the wire to the amp in the trunk of your car. then you take the big black wire and ground it to anything metal on ur car. make sure it is tight. then you take the aux cable and hook them into the back of the stereo and run the to the left or right input on the amp. Make sure that the power wire and aux cable are on opposite sides of the vehicle for less distortion and interference.then you take speaker wire and hook it up to the rear output of the amp and run it to your speaker. then you take another speaker wire and run it from the front output and run it to your rear factory speakers on the high input level. and you should be jammin down the road then.

An alternator that is charging insufficiently won't necessarily damage a battery unless it is driven that way for a very long time. More often a failed voltage regulator ( internal in most modern alternators ) or a failed rectifier in the alternator will damage a battery.

To test your alternator you will need a volt meter. Start the vehicle and test the voltage across the battery terminals. Put the positive lead of your meter to the positive terminal on the battery. The rate of charge ( reading on your volt meter ) should be 13 to 14 volts; if it is lower your alternator is insufficiently charging. Have a friend step on the gas and hold the motor at about 2000 rpms. Repeat the test on the battery; if the voltage reads above 14 volts your voltage regulator has failed. Testing rectification from your alternator requires an osciliscope. However, normally if the rectification diodes fail your alternator quits charging and you will have determined this with your first test.
