What is the purpose of the starter?
A device that initiates a flow of high voltage across the electrodes of a fluorescent lamp.
AnswerFluorescent Lamp Starter
A fluorescent tube has a heater at opposite ends of the tube. These are connected in series with the supply via a 'starter' (a small, heat-operated switch). When the tube is first switched on, current flows through the heaters which then act to ionise the gas within the tube. Once the gas is ionised, it begins to conduct and illuminate the tube. At this point the current flow through the heaters can be discontinued. This is done by the 'starter', a heat-operated switch, which opens a few moments after the current begins to flow. This arrangement is called a 'starter circuit' for a fluorescent tube.
Motor Starter
But there is also a 'starter' for an electric motor. Many motors cannot be started merely by connecting them to the supply. This is because, on starting, many motors demand a very large 'starting current' which reduces as the motor begins to turn. A motor 'starter' is used to restrict the amount of starting current until the motor runs up to speed.

How do you know what's wrong if your truck clicks when you try to start it then it finally starts?
These answers by mechanics about dead batteries are amazing me. I am a girl...really into cars because I have had a few. I just had this problem in my 1989 classic Saab. The problem is your starter...The clicking sound means that the pin inside of the starter is not projecting itself and thats why when you turn your key you hear a clicking. Get your starter tested
How do you fill the rear window washer with fluid in a 1996 Jeep Cherokee low washer light is on?
Open the rear liftgate , above the left taillight lense you will see a rubber cap/plug , that is your fill point - I like to remove the plastic cover panel in the drivers rear of the cargo area so I can see the level of the washer fluid in the container
What is the spark plug gap for a 1992 Chevy V-6 with AC van?
It sould be on the iformation sticker on the fan shroud.
What is wrong with your home AC that has freon but is not blowing cold air?
Check the AC fuses. There's usually two sets. One at the electrical box and another set at the compressor in a wall mounted box. There may be two of them and one of them blew out. The other possibility is that the compressor/fan motor start capacitor is bad. Sounds like the furnace fan is running but the compressor isn't.
Other item to check is to make sure that you have the thermostat actually set on AC. A lot of times people will flip the switch thinking they're turning the AC on only to find out they just turned on the fan switch.
What would cause the temp gauge to not work on a 93 Ford Taurus Station Wagon?
The first thing that I would check is the wiring and the temp sensor @ the engine. Sorry but I do not know where the sensor is located on the engine. Usually they are not too hard to locate. i would replace temperature sender usual located near front of engine near thermostat housing

What do the markings on a household electrical fuse mean?
all fuses are rated for several things voltage, amps, interupping capacity (IC) in addition they are divided into various feature and size types; most types are designated by a combination of letters which varies by brand, but most firms make equivilent types. Some examples are "FRN" "NON" "FRS" "KTK" "LPS" "FMN" Typical household fuses are rated 250 volt, 10,000 IC The smallest are usually 15 amps and the largest are usually 100 amp (at the service) Some are "time-delay" for motors, and some are plain - "time-delay" is one of the special features I mentioned There are large special fuses that can cost upwards of $3,000 each, but not for a house.
Where is the onboard computer on a ford windstar?
I'm not sure, but i think the windstar (99) has two seprate computers, one is on the fire wall, and one is in front of hte passenger seat, under the glove box
the pcm is under the wiper cover on the pass side i just replaced one.
It is on the right-hand side and is only accessible from the engine bay. You have to remove the plastic cover against the windshield and remove the metal windshield wiper assembly. It is not difficult.

How do you remove the intake manifold cover with a stripped bolt on a 1999 ford windstar 3.8?
I just ran in to the same problem with my 99 windstar, what i did was i used a deep scocket on the striped bolt, after removing all of the outher bolts lightly pryed up on the oppicet end of the upper plentium and it allowed enough pressure to hold the spinning gromet to break loose,.the deep scocket also helped for levrage,hope it works for you as well as it did for me.
Most cars will not run hot if the radiator is a little low. It sounds like you may have a pin hole in your heater core (coil) and the stem could be coming through your vents. This should have some smell to it. Most cars will not run hot if the radiator is a little low.

What is wrong if a 2004 Trail Blazer won't start with the key but will with the remote start?
Your standard security system is not allowing for your car to be started. My trailblazer did it, and i had to reset the computer codes, then have the company that installed the alarm come back and replace a faulty bypass. This may be what you are incurring

Why is the air not cold when the freon is full and air is blowing?
You should have your system serviced. It sounds like your compressor is bad. Mine was doing the same thing and I found out it was a burnt up compressor.
