Looks to me that you have the cooling fan, Yes the fan is no good, you can check this, turn on the AC and drive just few bloks, you may feel that AC is working ..but is not. Bottom line..no fan no air vent coold or heat. Another test: connect direct to battery to you vent fan and if is working, then your Relay is bad, replace same from the relay bank and finaly if everything is ok...definitly is "The fuse" 10 or 15 amps. Hope this help you.
Did the speaker system before have another amp connected to it? If so then this amp will have to be bypassed. Also make sure the the CD player is still connected securely and hasn't come apart. Hope this helps some.

When should you change the timing belt on a VW New Beetle?
The belt should be replaced between 60K and 70K. You should replace the water pump at that time also; the water pump has a plastic impeler that breaks. Find an aftermarket water pump with an upgraded metal impeller. You should also replace the coolant reservoir w/cap; the sensor (low coolant sensor) goes bad. Never mix different antifreeze fluids (you will get gummy substance in bottle and coolant lines). You should use the same one for the life of the car.
Is the number 1 cylinder on the right or left of the engine on an 88 Dodge Colt front wheel drive?
Looking into the motor #1 is on your left.firing order is 1 3 4 2 from left to right.
I got a 92 colt and I believe # 1 is on the opposite side. The firing order 1 3 4 2 is correct.
I have a different . I'm looking at the Chilton's (1971-1989 Colt) and it has a diagram indicating that for all engines of that year the #1 cylinder is nearest the front of the engine (the front of the engine is not the side of the engine near the front of the car, but it is the side of the engine with the timing belt). If this is true, than as you stand in front of the car looking at the engine, #1 is farthest right. The order from left to right is 4-3-2-1 (this is the same as saying that the order from front (the timing belt side of engine) to back is 1-2-3-4. The firing order for all engines of that year is 1-3-4-2. In fact, according to Chilton's, all engines all years have the cylinders in the same order (from front of engine to back 1-2-3-4) and the firing order is always 1-3-4-2.

How do you get rid of a bad smell that comes out of your Volkswagen Beetle 2002 model?
Does it smell like crayons? If so, Beetles are known for that smell. I can't remember if it's the glue or the rubber used inside the car, but it would take a lot of money to remove it.
My first NB was terrible, but my second isn't so bad.
If you need more info you can Google "crayon smell Beetle" or join newbeetle.org
Hope this helps!

Is it safe to drive a car after it lost its Power steering feature due to faulty pump or fluid?
Generally not. It may seem safe, provided that you have the physical strength to control the steering without power assist, but there is another problem.
With most power steering systems, the fluid also acts as a lubricant for the steering gear. If the fluid all leaks out, the gear can seize due to lack of lubrication. If the steering gear seizes, the steering will become suddenly locked in whatever position it is in at the time, likely causing a crash.
On some systems, the fluid pushes a hydraulic cylinder attached to the steering linkage, and the steering gear has its own separate supply of lubricant. If you have such a system, the above may not be a concern.
AnswerIt depends on the year, make and model. For instance I drove a 1993 Ford Ranger without power steering for 6 months with no problems. AnswerIf you still have decent handling of the car without power assist, then I don't see why not. But, if you get into an accident and you were knowingly driving the car without power steering (and how wouldn't you know :-P) you might have insurance issues. Not sure about that though. AnswerIf the power steering pump itself is leaking, you might have a problem. If the pump has no fluid in it to circulate, then it can heat up and seize. This can snap your serpentine belt.How do you change engine mounts on a 1988 Toyota Camry?
It is ver easy (2 hour tops). Suggest u get a craftsman breaker bar 1/2" drive for those cross member nuts. Use a 2-ft pipe as cheater bar is okay. 1) Remove lower control arm cross member. (2 nuts & 2 bolts) 2) Remove engine mount member. total 10 nuts. The sequence is to move the six nuts (from engine mount) first. Then the 4 nuts at the ends of the cross member. 3) At the rear, it actually is a transmission mount, undo it w/ 17mm socket. 4) Middel mount - undo 2 14mm nuts to the engine. 5) Front mount, it is easier from the top, remove 17mm nut & bolt. 6) Replace w/ inkind. 7) Reverse step in putting back cross members. Thats it.
How do you test auto alternators?

How do you change the spark plugs in a 99 mercury cougar V6?
Use a 1/4" ratchet, 4" & 6" extentions, swivel, adapter, and foam filled spark plug deep well socket. Use the combination of these tools that feels right for you. The extentions will be primarily for the three rear (closest to the fire wall). Most mechanics will say it is necessary to remove the plenum. This is NOT true. I changed my plugs without removing the plenum and using these same tools. I still had the original (OEM) plugs wires and chose not to replace them. You can replace with OEM purchased from dealership for about $250, give or take, or replace with after market wires. Job complete about 1.5 hrs depending on you.
If it will fit it will work. They are both 3 volts.
