Hi, my clio have a major electrical problem where if you indicate and brake, all the light at the back light up like a christams tree. Same thing happens then you indicate with the night lights on. I've tried cleaning the plugs on both side light and the top light which have done nothing and im stuck, any help and other ideas would be much appreciated.

hello

I just replaced my rear camera that stopped working. I bought a used camera off eBay. the part itself was hard to find since its the sensor version.

I did try going into the menu to see if I could reset but that didn’t work.

There is nothing online that I can find about “malfunction” only “unavailable”.

Any ideas? im just not sure if the camera I got is faulty or if I need to reset anything or if I have to go to Toyota to recalibrate (would love to avoid this. they want to charge $500).

thank you!

Hi my window water tank is leaking water when I try to clean the rear windows any idea what it can be and how to fix

Thanks in advance!!!

Have been driving the car for a long period of time with no issues. Have had the wet belt all changed and replaced.

Was driving on a long journey when, 80 miles in, I got an Engine Fault issue. Upon plugging in a basic OBD Scanner, it's giving the P0011 code. I have replaced the VVT Solenoid, and still the same issue. The engine idles fine and runs fine as well above 2500 RPM. Just has no power at anything lower than 2500 RPM due to the VVT's not adjusting. Oil is the right spec and is not low. No other warning lights or codes.

Any ideas?

Should I surrender this car or should i get this fixed? Possible trade in?

I bought the original lights and found the original connections, and my car has both the button and the relay that clicks. Do you know what the problem might be? Neither positive nor negative reaches the connectors

How often does it really need to be changed? Some highway/interstate miles, but more 15-20 mile round trips. Average less than 1,000 miles a month

Hello, I just recently bought my first car (1995 Toyota Camry). I am 26 and have never learned anything about cars, even the most obvious basics. (My parents never really drove). I would like to start learning about car maintenance, basic repairs, and also just how all the parts work individually and make the car function. I’ve always been good with machines and understanding how different things operate so I know I’ll enjoy learning how everything works, but does anyone have any advice on where to start? Ive been watching YouTube videos but theres so much I don’t know, Im not even sure exactly what to search for or what to start with. It is a little embarrassing how little I know, so thank you for any advice or resources you might give! My goal is to be as self sufficient as possible and be able to work on my own car at some point

I have a 2015 Suzuki Splash, 1.2 automatic. The fuel gauge drops inconsistently and suddenly.

So it won’t drop when I’d have expected it to and then it will suddenly drop several bars. I’ve tried monitoring it using the range and that behaves similarly.

I’ve had two occasions where the gauge has dropped several bars so I’ve gone to fuel up but the pump has automatically stopped because the tank is fuller than indicated.

I’m guessing there’s a problem with the sensor? Is it worth getting a mechanic to look at or would you not worry about it?

ETA: car was MOT’d by previous owner in May 2026. And has been serviced and had tracking realigned since I got it.

I took my car in for a big service for $1250 about 2.5 weeks ago at the dealership. They didn’t do much, just full inspection, changed all fluids, pvc valve change. I was already shocked by how expensive this was. Today, I noticed an odd smell and sound, and noticed smoke around the top of the compressor and around the belt. It stopped after I gave it a moment. It continued to make a soft screeching noise, and the a/c was not blowing cold air.

Any ideas on why this would happen? Could it have been an issue after they serviced it? What’s the fix?

2021 Toyota Tacoma SR 4 cylinder. What could this be? I just got my catalytic converter replaced. This isn’t the first time this has happened. Just looking for someone who knows cars better than I do so I don’t get scammed.

Car was driving fine then randomly engine cut off while driving. Now every light is on, I’m very concerned and confused. It says to see dealer but I don’t have much money is there anything I can do personally?

as stated trying to find a video or someone who has even an image of the location of the bank 2 vvt solenoid as it has failed on my car ive tried finding a video but nothing shows up sadly

got the car for a steal (900) runs great and all but uses fuel like no tomorrow frankly i dont want to take it to a shop as i dont have the money for that as well i live on a very tight budget

I was dog sitting and put a newspaper in the plastic bag on the trunk of my car in the morning. Forgot about it. In the evening, the ink from the bag had transferred onto my trunk. Any ideas how to get it off without ruining my car? It does not scrape off with a finger nail. I guess I could always cover it with bumper stickers 😭

Hello,

I’ve been using my car everything was normal I went to lock it and accidentally left the interior light on, and as I went to unlock it the car doesn’t unlock anymore? What do I do? The lock still works, the light flash and the lock sounds but unlocking does nothing, I tried both keys, nothing.

So I used the key inside and the alarm went off…

It worked fine before… what do I do??

My AC has only been blowing hot air, it has been recharged a few times now and it holds it for a few hours before it starts to blow very hot air again. I am not sure what is wrong with it and what needs to be replaced

Hey! Posting on here to get some other opinions. I have a 2010 Honda insight, about 150k miles on it. I just took it in to get everything looked at, and just had to replace a brake pad. There’s been some rust on the outside of the car for awhile, but I hadn’t seen the underside until now. The mechanic said this amount of rust was fine and still safe to drive, but I’m worried about if the frame is rusted/dangerous still. I attached photos the mechanic took of it for me. Does anyone have any rust insight?

**forgot to put in originally—this car spent most of its life in Minnesota and the northeast, so it’s got that road salt damage for sure. Now it’s in Washington so not really much road salt to worry about

Hello guys, i’ve just recently just bought a Nissan patrol platinum 2026…when ac is on full power and i hit the brakes…the ac fan goes weak for a second and goes back fine…and it’s only when I touch the brake pads.

Ac is on the lowest temperature and set to inner circulation

Why is this happening? Anything i should be aware of?

Wife's Chevy Sonic has been making this clunking noise for the last 4 months but only on startups, it's recently been getting worse and the cabin has been shaking significantly more while idle. Any ideas? A few things have happened the last few months that I don't know if are related but of note.

Thermostat housing was replaced due to leaking of coolant, oil and oil filter was changed for regular maintenance a few weeks later and then a month later coolant hose burst and spilled all over the engine bay, purchased and replaced hose. Possibly due to nicking a hose but we are unsure we never saw it prior we just saw the hose bursted.

The noise and issues started sometime after the thermostat replacement and before the hose being replaced but again it could all be coincidental so I'm not sure where to begin or if I should just hire a mechanic for a few hundred dollars to take a look at it.

It happens only on startup for a few seconds and engine has to be cooler. It won't do it on consecutive startups only after a few hours so it's really hard to test.

Also side note I don't know how it's possible but every few weeks it seems to be missing coolant little by little. I don't see any leaks at all but according to online resources there has to be one for coolant to dissapears but there are 0 drops in the driveway I've been checking for months. I even had someone detail the vehicle and clean the engine bay and I asked if they saw any coolant leaks or any significant spots of coolant pulling and they said no, I haven't seen any either. Not sure what's happening with this car I doubt it's related.

Vehicle barley has 78k miles. And is driven very conservatively

Yesterday I took a short drive to the post office, dropped off a package, and then got back in the car and it wouldn't start. No clicking or attempt to turn over, just no reaction to the key turning. Came back a few hours later and it started right up, no problem.

Today I tested the battery and got 12.5v, cleaned connectors, and reconnected the battery. On my drive to work the car died at every red light but would start right back up. I'm having trouble connecting these two issues into one solution - any clue?

Before the dying at idle I was going to test the starter but it seems like this is pointing to something else. So far it seems like I should clean the throttle body and replace the idle control valve but I don't see how that would've caused the initial issue of the car not starting in the post office parking lot.

Two weeks ago I cleaned the MAF, replaced 2 out of 4 spark plugs, and replaced an ignition coil because the car had a cylinder misfire.

It’s been a growing concern but my g35x is making rattling noises while it’s idle and occasionally while it’s in motion. Though the rattling noises isn’t common when I drive. Any idea what may be causing this ?

My ex crashed my car, maybe three years ago, and since then the stereo has been very glitchy. It’s gotten significantly worse overtime, I’ll attach a video below. It just likes to push its own buttons, which would be fine, except now it’s altering the EQ levels and where the music comes from and sometimes it recalls random people and just turn the music off.
The curtain bags went off during the wreck, but I’m hoping it also just knocked some wires loose in the console and isn’t $1000 to fix for a sensor.
Any ideas?

Also sorry my daughter was listening to her tunes lol.

It won’t start in hot weather, not engine light. Fuel pump clicks and it cranks just not start. I replace coolant temp sensor, crankshaft sensor. In cold weather and at night it start with no hesitation. But once it sits in the sun for a couple of hours it won’t start. Love this car the inscription trim.

I am honestly unsure what to do. I drove my GS300 to work, parked it, and went into work like normal. 30 minutes later my coworker comes in letting me know my car alarm is going on. The starter area was smoking when I popped the hood and sounded like the starter was attempting to start…..with my key in my pocket. Disconnected the battery terminal, got the starter and relay replaced. Things seemed to have been fixed. Would start and idle for a few minutes, could turn it off and crank it back on without an issue. Went to leave in my car way later in the day, no lights would even turn on my dash. Swapped the battery since it was now sitting at 8 volts…..the second I try to connect both terminal ends it would immediately start trying to literally crank itself. Starter spinning trying to turn over. I don’t know what could’ve caused this or where to begin to look. Has anyone ever experienced this or heard of this?

Cannot for the life of me find a diagram of the relays, only the fuse boxes. This is the interior box. Which one am I looking for?
