Basic Troubleshooting Tips for Your Automotive Air Conditioner

April 4th, 2010
If your automotive air conditioner isn’t working quite right, here are a few ideas to begin. First of all start with the control panel on your dashboard. Most automobiles have an A/C button that actually turns the compressor on and allows cold air to be circulated. You might have accidentally hit the recirculation button instead of the A/C button. (Don’t laugh, I had a friend that spent a week in a hot car and all he needed to do was press the right button.)The second thing to check is the actual function of the controls. Do they move at all? Are they loose and giggle around? The big question is “do they feel different from the last time your air conditioner worked?” This could tell if the controls are messed up and need replacing. Your air conditioner system may be read more

Automotive Electronic Climate Control – 1995 Ford

March 19th, 2010
The problem with my controller was that it would no longer respond to a temperature change request. It was stuck on cold and when I tried to dial in a warmer temperature nothing would happen. I noticed a faint click coming from under the dashboard that sounded unfamiliar but didn’t follow it up at that time. The dealer told me that it was the controller module that had gone bad since it was displaying a trouble code right on the temperature screen. The code was (H2). The service manager at Ford looked all over and called several people and no one could give him an answer as to what that trouble code was for.I bought the new climate controller and installed it but the problem was still there. Now I was out $300 because I couldn’t return the controller because it was an electroni read more

Making the Most of a Depreciating Asset

November 7th, 2009
Once the sale is made and the car keys are transferred from the car salesman to its registered owner, the brand new car’s value starts to decline steeply. Even before you drive your new car out of the showroom and onto the asphalt, your car immediately loses its value, even if you add exquisite camel skin dashboard covers to your new purchase.According to the American Automobile Association (AAA), a sedan that drives for about 15,000 miles yearly depreciates by $3,392 annually, which amounts to 60% of the total costs of its usage. At best, a car will be worth as much as 35% of its original price after five years or 60 months. So how does one lessen the impact of depreciation on a very fast-depreciating asset?While customization and adding some personal color to the car seems to be the tr read more
