How do you open a hood with the cable broken under the hood.?

I have done this in the past on some vehicles. Try to look through the grill and locate the hood latch mechanism. If you can see and reach the cable, grab it with a pair of needle nose plyers or such and pull hard to release the catch. If the cable is not visable, try a long screw driver to push the latch open. Hope this helps. Good luck! LDE

What does a GROSS EVAP FUEL LEAK code in a 2001 Hyundai Elantra mean and how do you detect what the problem is?

from my past experience its one of two things : 1. someone left the gas cap loose after fueling clear the code and drive after tightening gas cap. 2. you have a defective solenoid or broke hose or item in the evap sys . only two ways to check a smoke machine for evap systems or a vaccum pump for evap sysytems. its possible to have a sticking vent solenoid but that requires a smoke/vaccum tool and a scanner that can activate a solenoid. cheaper to go to the dealer,than spend thousands buying tools. The Hyundai Accent and Elantra often have a problem with the charcoal canister becoming plugged. On the driver side of the car in back by the gas tank there will be the canister and hoses coming out of it. Pinch the hoses with your fingers and listen for a crunching noise. If you hear it disconnect the hose and little charcoal pellets will run out of it. If so then you need a new charcoal canister. They cost around $125 and can be found online or at a Hyundai dealer.

Why would the brake lights be stuck on on a 1998 Ford Contour?

It is because the switch on brake pedal has been moved. It must be pushed by the pedal all the time, and when you push the brake pedal, the button switch comes out, and then you should turn your lights on. This switch is tight by double nut next to the pedal, so disconnect it, release the tightened nut, or verify that it is tight, make sure it is pushed by the pedal every time this one is up, make a turn if needed to make tight again.

Why won't the key turn in my 99 Honda Odyssey Turned the wheel back and forth wiggled the key tried all 3 keys we have jacked the van up to relieve pressure on steering column. HELP?

There is a known issue with Honda Odyssey ignition 1998-99. I think there is an open recall on them. I have a '98 and the ignition started shutting off while I was driving (which is worse than your problem, trust me) and the dealer replaced it for no charge. I would ask a local Honda dealer if the recall applies to your Odyssey. Jeff

What type of oil goes in a transfer case on 1990 jeep Cherokee Laredo?

Where is the fuse for the back up lights 1990 Jeep Cherokee Laredo?

#7 or #23 on the inside fuse panel, back up is not labeled.

It is on the same circuit as the brake lights, but if they are not working, and the bulbs are good your switch needs cleaning or adjustment.

Attempt this first since the switch costs nearly $300 bucks.

On the passengers side of the trans just behind the bell housing there is a fan shaped switch, loosen the 12mm bolt ( smaller of the two, and rotate the switch while a friend checks the lights. this problem is usually accompanied by an occasional inability to start the vehicle, but can be cured by jiggling the shifter.

While adjusting the switch make sure that the vehicle will start in park as well, remember to block the wheels while testing the back up lights, engine off, key in run but not start, shifter in reverse, move switch until lights come on.

Once you find this spot, hold it in place and have your helper check to make sure it will start. This may take several tries to get both working correctly.

If you have no luck the switch may be dirty, this happens a lot. Hold the post to the bottom large bolt still while you loosen the nut, then remove it, then remove the 12mm adjusting bolt on top, remove the wire connector and pull the switch away, remove the bolts on the switch and separate the halves, use electrical contact cleaner and maybe some q-tips to clean all the copper connections completely apply di-electric grease and reassemble, refit to the trans and readjust so all functions work, this switch controls back up and start safety.

Caution! always hold that bottom bolt while tightening the large nut, this is connected to the gear adjuster and you could damage the internals if it isn't secured while you do it.
