How do you repair the parking brake handle on a 1973 Volkswagon Karmman Ghia?
You were not specific about the problem, but two of the more common problems are the cable bracket coming off, and the brake handle not staying up at all.
The first problem is usually due to the parking brakes not being adjusted properly, and the bracket with the cable ends falls off. If you lift up the rubber boot and put the handle down, you should be able to pull the bracket up and into place, then adjust the cables. There should be a steel pin that keeps the bracket from coming off, but these can break off. If that is the case, you need to drill a small hole where the pin was, thread the hole, and install a machine screw to keep the cable bracket in place.
The second problem is that the handle will not stay up at all. This is frequently caused by the ratchet locking mechanism coming loose from the release rod inside the handle. If this happened, then your parking brake was ost likely out of adjustment, and and allowed the handle to go up too far. When THAT happens, the ratchet lever flips over and no longer works. Pull up the rubber boot out of the way, or remove the boot. Loosen the cable adjustors enough to allow you to slip the cable bracket off of it's retainer pin. You can now pull the handle up and you should see the ratchet lever. There is an upside-down "U" in the rod that attaches to the pushbutton in the handle. The round end of the ratchet lever goes into that upside-down "U". When you have it in position, hold the pushbutton in and lower the handle. Put the cable retainer back onto it's pin and test the mechanism, then adjust your parking brake so it doesn't happen again!
goto your local shop, or even better a quick lube (usually dont charge) and get them to run a scan.. it should be an OBD I sensor, not a II.. but any good shop will know that... they will tell you what set the light, and how to fix it, and they can turn the light off.... lataaaaaaaaaa
How do you reset a ford focus 2000 lx check engine light without special tools?
A lit Check Engine light indicates there is a malfunction that has been detected and a diagnosis needs to be done with an OBDII scanner to find the problem. If there is no problem, the Check Engine light can be reset either with the OBDII scanner or by disconnecting the negative battery terminal for a couple of minutes. Word of caution: when resetting by disconnecting the battery, the computer's Keep Alive Memory will be erased and the vehicle will run rough for several miles until the computer re-learns the settings.
How can you get the right rear hub off a 91 Dodge Colt?
It is probably held on with the bearing retainer nut.Remove the nut, washers, and bearing, and it should come off.The bearing retainer, or "spindle" nut, usually requires a 30mm socket to remove. If you can borrow an impact wrench (an electric model works well), the procedure will be much easier.
What is the song in the Mercury Mountaineer commercial?
If it is the spot I'm thinking of it's "go!" by an 80s group "Tones on Tail" Hope it's the right spot.

How do you turn off the air bag light on a 1998 VW Beetle?
By having the SRS system repaired. Time for a trip to the dealer. Do not attempt to repair yourself. Serious injury can occur. remember tho it is under warentee for life as long as you have not been in an accedent
Follow-up: I don't believe this is warrantied for life in my experience. Here's what causes this issue on Beetle side airbags:
The receiving side of the seat-belt buckle - the side where the metal buckle plugs in - has 2 thin wires going into its base on a plug. These activate the side air bags in a collision. There is a wiring harness under the seat which connect them to the side air bag. In non-collision situations, these tend to separate for the following reasons: 1. They are too flimsy and normal use makes them separate. 2. The wiring harness under the seat is too short. This means that when you access the back seat, which causes the bucket seats to lift up and lean forward, it puts stress on the wires, causing them to separate and the side airbag light to come on. I had one repaired by the dealer at a cost of about $400. I never use the back seat, but after the repair, the first time I pulled the seats back to clean the rear leather seats, the side airbag light came on again. It may have been the passenger seat that caused it this time. The original poster is right: You can't fix this by splicing the wires back together because of extremely narrow tolerances on the electrical impulses. In my car, the broken wires did not cause the airbag to deploy. I am guessing that there are other sensors that have to receive signals in a collision situation. The dealer charges about $100 just to diagnose the problem. The fix is to replace the receiving end of the buckle and the harness. In my case, I could see the broken wires separated from the tiny plug at the base of the drivers seat where it entered the seat belt base, but the wires can break internally where the damage can't be seen. VW has a analytical computer program called VAG which can diagnose this problem. If you don't want to go to a dealer, many German car repair shops have the software. it also works on AUDI. This is different from a standard emissions OBII tester, which only checks emissions codes. You can buy the VAG software to use with a laptop, but as the original poster says, airbags aren't something for shade-tree mechanics to play with. This is just another example of VW problems that should have been subject to recall, but have not.

What would cause the wipers not to turn off on a 1992 Chevy WT 1500?
The wiper motor on that vehicle has an internal switch that keeps the wiper after you turn it off, until the wiper blade is in the park position. If that switch has failed, the wiper will continue to run. It's a common failure for older wiper motors and you'll need to replace the motor, but they are available as an after market item so you can purchase one at a local auto parts retailer.
