How do you change licence plate bulbs on 2005 f150?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I don't know if it's very different to the process on a 2001, should be similar.

You have to start in under the hood.

For mine, first had to carefully pop out the plastic dam that sits horizontally between the grill and the metal frame. Once that's moved, there were two plastic tab things that you pull and the light assembly will be free....careful not to let it fall off or you'll be paying $250 to replace it.

Then just pull the bulb wire out the back, change and reassemble.

The plastic dam thingy is held in with those plastic grommet things and can break so be careful. 1 of mine broke but not a big deal.

You need to replace the whole thing. Not just the bulb. You need to remove the wheels and the wheel well to get to the bumper cover from behind. it's not easy.

I had a gmc truck once that had a terrible exhaust leak I was told it was because it had 305 heads on a 350 block and the mechanic that told me this plugged up the leak with a bolt it sounded like it was out of oil all the time go figure! acctually if you put 305 heads on a 350 it will increase compression and you will have more low end torque so go for it dude

How do you remove and replace ignition actuator on a 95 mustang?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Contrary to the repair manual; you do not need to remove the steering wheel. Remove the bottom dash panel below the steering wheel and then the bottom black steering wheel cover (3 screws). You will see a 1/8 inch hole and pin below the lock set. Put the key lock in the neutral position and push the pin and remove the ignition lock set. Put the new lock set in the neutral position and insert it. Turn it to the off position which resets the lock pin.

How do you change serpentine belt on 1983 S10?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on whether you have the self-adjuster or not. Without the adjuster the steering pump needs to be loosened at the three bolts that hold the pump to the bracket. The bottom bolt is the tension adjuster. With the self-adjuster, you need to rotate the adjuster towards the engine to slip the belt off. Once the belt is off the tensioner it will move out of the way. Be prepared to use a block of some type to hold the tensioner so it won't hit the battery case. The nut on the tensioner is a 15mm size

Also, once you have the belt off, be very sure you put the new one on the right way. There should be a sticker on the engine cowl that shows you how the serpentine belt should route around the engine pulleys. Once you have it routed right, make sure you tighten everything very tight, making sure you have put enough tension on the belt. This is usually a tough part of the process because you need to get the tension against the adjusters, which keep the belt tight as it moves

pretty simple...reach directly behind the fog light and feel the 2 wires- they are in a plastick casing. grab the casing between thumb and forefinger, push in slightly and turn approximately 1cm. the bulb housing releases, pull the housing straight backwards until you have the entire assembly removed. unplug the bad bulb by pulling it straight out. push in the new bulb, push the assembly back inside the hole, aligning the three tabs in their slots, then turn 1 cm or so th lock back in place.

should take 3 minutes.

How to fix the cruise control on a 1987 olds regency 98?

Asked by Wiki User

there's a tensioner fairly obvious on the left side of the engine. The tensioners often lose strength on these engines. they're about 15 bucks depending on where you go. loosen the bolt on the swingarm of the tensioner and remove the belt. Re route the belt the same way. When you retighten the bolt on the tensioner and it will bring the belt back to the correct tension.

What if your car does not start it cranks but does not turn over and it makes a grinding noise?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Usually that just means the battery is dead. It's trying to crank the starter but doesn't have enough power. Try jumping it from another car and see if that starts it.

When a grinding noise is detected first locate the area of the car it is being generated from. Most grinding noises will be being generated while driving, if you are having a hard time detecting the location of the grinding sound, have a helper ride along in the rear seat to give a new perspective on the origin of the grinding noise. A grinding noise can be generated by many things from worn out brake pads to axle bearing failure. Once a grinding sound has been detected action must

Find the horn and remove the wire going to the horn/s it should have a connector you can seemly slide off however if it dont you may have to clip the wire and tape the end so it doesn't short if it goes to ground.

Why do some lights go off in your house when you turn on too many appliances?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In a well designed house the lights are not connected to the same circuit as an appliance. If by going out you are saying that a breaker trips, then your appliances and lights combined are exceeding the rating of the breaker. You either need to rewire and balance the loads better or plug high current appliances into different outlets on another breaker. If you are not tripping breakers, but lights are just dimming you have a bigger problem with inadequate current supplying your house.

How to change light bulbs in dashboard 1998 ford f150?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Step by step:

1. remove the piece that goes directly on top of the steering column.. this is held by clips, no screws

2. remove the one screw that holds the dash piece that goes BELOW the steering column.. this can now drop down by pulling it - the rest is clips.

3. remove the 3 screws that are visible that hold the dash piece that goes ABOVE the instrument panel. that piece is NOT ready to be pulled off yet!!

4. begin to carefully pull that dash piece that goes ABOVE the instrument panel out until you can access a spot where the headlight switch is coming out with the panel - there will be a plastic piece that you need to push in that acts like a clip - then the headlight switch can be removed and you will see the final screw that holds the panel in place - remove that screw.

5. once you have removed the above, you can access the 4 screws that hold the instrument panel in place - remove them.

6. carefully pull the instrument panel out. if you want to completely remove the instrument panel for easier access to the lights, you will need to first remove the transmission indicator ( P N D 2 1).. this can be achieved by looking along each side of it for the clips, pushing them in and sliding the piece down off the instrument panel.

7. pull the instrument panel outwards until you can access the wire harnesses.. push the clip in and pull them out (there are 3 harnesses for the instrument panel).

8. the instrument panel can now be completely removed and you will need to flip it over to see the back of the panel. the small white plastic pieces are all labeled on the PC board - ford even throws in some extra free bulbs if you don't have 4x4 (they install the bulbs the indicate your 4x4 status even if it will leave the factory without 4x4!).. the larger black ones are for the backlighting for the gauges - these must all be turned counter-clockwise to remove and clockwise to put back in.. they can be tough to get out and pliers can aid in turning them to remove.

9. follow the instructions in reverse to reassemble.

What keeps electricity from escaping?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The impedance mismatch is such that two identical waves are created at the end of the wires which are in anti phase to both the incoming current and the current launched into the room. Hence both are cancelled. However, the voltages are not cancelled and the voltage wave does escape into the room. It is responsible for hum that audio equipment is prone to unless screened.

Someone said: "Because it needs a path way in which to travel". But it has one: the air. The point is that the wire to air mismatch is so huge that the cancellation I referred to takes place and the overall current flow is zero. Talk about pathways or conductors and insulators is only a simplified way of looking at the flow of electromagnetic energy.

Anyway James Thurber's aunt reckoned it did escape and caused all sorts of problems. The escaped energy I mean, though I dare say his aunt caused a few problems as well.

What does an intake manifold do?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It basically takes the air from the outside and sends it to the individual cylinders on the vehicle. It has a sensor in it that senses air flow and, with this information as well as other information from other sensors, It will establish the correct air fuel mixture just before the mixture goes into the cylinder.
