How do you replace the headlight bulb on a 1998 Ford F-150?

Under the hood, behind the headlight itself. grab the bulb housing, and rotate it counter-clockwise. pull straight out to remove. replace bulb and install in reverse order.

On the '97 model this is very difficult to do as there is no room to access the housing. Raise the hood; on top of the ledge above the headlight there are two flat strips of metal with catch slots on them, a tab at a 90 degree angle to the strip; push back and at the same time pull up on the strip and the the entire headlight assembly comes free of the well. THEN follow the above instructions.

What do you do when all the lights in the dash come on and your speedometer quit working in your 2000 Ram 1500?

This happened to me arter about 2 years of ownership. The dodge dealership tested all 3 computors and finally came up with the airbag going to "sleep" once they "woke" it up the problem went away and hasn't come back since. I didnt know that the airbags even got tired but apparently they do. The dealership fixed it but it wasnt cheap about 700.00 later I was able to once again know how fast I was going and how much fuel I had. hope this helps.

What is wrong with a car when the 'Overdrive Off' light continues to blink and you can't turn it off?

I have a 1994 Ford Taurus SHO and ever couple of weeks this OVERDRIVE OFF lite flashes for a couple of days then goes off. I suspect it has something to do with the transmission and its electronic sensors. Take your car to a transmission shop and hook up an analyzer to the ECM for the transmission. It also can be related to the Vehicle Speed Sensor. This sensor feeds to the ECM and if defective will disable the electronic Overdrive.

What is the cause of vibration at 2000 revs mostly in higher gears on a VW Passat two L turbo?

If any car vibrates at approx. 2000 rpm in higher gears I would suggest checking out the tyres. They may need balancing. If tyres are not balanced after wearing down they will twist and warp. Not so much that you could tell by looking, most good shops have a machine to fix this problem. Worst case scenario it could be the wire in the tyre wall that has broken to cause the imbalance. If this is the case then you're at risk from a blow out. Bottom line: don't drive around with a vibrating car!Tyres are cheaper than caskets.

What does it mean when red flashing key symbol in dashboard and car wont start up?

Without knowing your exact brand of car, this is a difficult question to answer. The first thought I have would be that your vehicle has an immobilizer, in which case you will need to take the immobilizer off before you can start the vehicle. If it's not the case that you have an immobilizer on your vehicle, I would suggest you refer to the owner's manual for your car, or contact a dealership.

Why is dash flashing off and on to clicking sound after installed new radio in 91 fifth avenue and how can you fix it?

NOT SURE WHY DASH IS FLICKERING, BUT IF THE CLICKING SOUND IS LIKE A LOUD WIND UP CLOCK THE SAME PROBLEM I HAD WITH MY 91, AFTER IT WAS SERVICED, TURNED OUT TO BE MY BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR FOR THE AC UNIT. THE BLEND DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES TO LET HEATED AIR IN WHEN YOU ADJUST AC CONTROLS TO WARMER OR COLDER.THE DOOR WAS STUCK. TURNED OUT IT WAS A VERY BIG JOB TO GO INTO DASHBOARD AND CHANGE 10.00 PART, SO I JUST LET THE ELECTRIC MOTOR RUN ITSELF OUT, BEING THAT I LIVE IN HAWAII AND WILL NEVER USE HEATER. IT TOOK A WHILE BEFORE THE ANNOYING TIME BOMB CLICKING STOPPED AND NOW THE DOWNSIDE AND THE RESULT OF NOT FIXING IT IS, A HARD RIGHT WILL CLOSE ACTUATOR DOOR AND AC WILL ONLY RUN ON HIGH, ANY ADJUSTING TO A LOWER TEMP AND THERE IS NOT ENOUGH BLOWER FAN FORCE TO KEEP ACTUATOR DOOR CLOSED AND A HARD LEFT WILL OPEN DOOR AND LET HOT AIR INTO CAR CABIN, ONLY ANOTHER HARD RIGHT WILL CLOSE IT AGAIN. VERY ANNOYING.

The needle on the dash over-heat indicator is pinning the speedometer needle in my 2005 Cavaliere. Why would this happen?

Overheat Indication

You've answered your own question. If the "overheat indicator" is indicating overheating, then the engine and the coolant is OVERHEATED!!!!!!

Overheating is a serious situation and any indication of such requires that a qualified automotive technician check the vehicle and determine the cause for the overheating, and correct it to prevent permanent, and possibly very expensive, damage to the engine.

Or, another remote possibility is that the engine/coolant temperature sensing/indicating system has become defective.
