2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Tail lights go off when Headlights go on?

Last Tuesday, the brake light would not work on driver's side when braking (would go totally out) and headlights were on. Now as of Saturday, both taillights have gone out completely when the headlights are turned on (whether braking or not)! Have had the bulbs changed out %26amp; fuses checked. Was thinking of buying some sockets from the dealership (not sure how to change out however) and see if this might remedy the problem or does this sound like a bigger issue? If so, would this be something better handled by a dealership (warranty is out but I realize these may be dealer parts) or an individual shop? Thanks for any help you can give!!2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Tail lights go off when Headlights go on?

For those who know about cars, Brake Light Problem, 1995 Nissan Sentra?

Ok, here's the problem. I have a 1995 Nissan Sentra. When I turn on the lights, all the lights turn on as they should. I have a problem with my brake lights and/or tail lights and I would like to know how to repair it. When I press on the brake, my right brake light turns on like it should while my left tail light/brake light turns completely off. Once I release the brake, both tail lights stay on as they should. So basically whenever I press down on the brake the two lights in the rear left side both turn off. I have tried the most basic thing I could think of, switching the bulbs and it didn't change anything. Someone with a little bit of car knowledge please let me know what's going on.For those who know about cars, Brake Light Problem, 1995 Nissan Sentra?
you have two filaments in those bulbs. one set is for running lights, the other is for brake lights.



obviously your right side lights are working 100%, left side, only the running lights are working.



bulbs are eliminated as you changed new ones in...and hopefully tested your old bulbs in the right hand side to confirm they do indeed light up...and as a result there is not a short in the system instantly blowing your brake filaments out on that side.



after you do confirm that.



check your fuses to make sure you dont have separate fuses for left side brake lights and right side brake lights. if you dont, then you might want to check/replace your hazard light relay as the hazards use the high intensity brake lights...not the running lights to signal with.



after this I would think about swapping the brake light switch that is mounted up on the brake pedal under the dash.



after all this, you might want to see if a connector going to that brake assembly is unhooked or loose or corroded or has a burned out connection. you'll want to open the connectors and check inside them. sometimes simply unplugging the connector and plugging it back in will break the corrosion and give you good contact.



after that, I'd start checking grounds.

GO THE SPEED LIMIT.



Check your speedometer, make sure you are in fact going the speed limit. Realize that a lot of times tailgater's don't do it on purpose, just like sometimes you might not be going exactly the speed limit. No big deal.



DO NOT slam on the brakes. This actually is grounds for road rage, and the person behind you could report you for this.

.



Increase YOUR following distance from the vehicle in front so that you do not have to brake so hard in an emergency - that way the car behind has more time to react and less chance of hitting you.



Alternatively, move over to let them pass...



Do not react any other way.

I'd say just stick to the speed limit, don't be pushed into speeding as it'd be just your luck there'll be a speed camera along the road and *you'll* get snapped, speeding ticket, points on license, etc etc.



If they are that desperate to be at their destination faster they should have left earlier!!How to deal with tail-gaters when driving, and difference day or night time?
The correct way is to slow down gently, that will force the car behind you to slow down to( witch mean he will either pass or the danger is less because the speed is lower).Just remember no aggressive behaviour , it mite feel good but are never good to anybodyHow to deal with tail-gaters when driving, and difference day or night time?
Best way to deal with them is to take your foot off the gas, and let your car coast down to slow speeds.



They can either go around you, or whatever. Hopefully there's a passing area.



There's NOTHING you can do to change the mind of idiotic people like this, except to do something that will make them go around you, like slowing way down gradually.



Let them honk! If they don't like it, they can go around you. Just smile and wave to them.



No point in gesturing, they're idiots anyway. Or, drive until you see a police car, and stop, and point at the tailgater and say you're being stalked. %26lt;big grin%26gt; THAT'LL teach them to tail gate! When they take off in a hurry, the police might give chase. LOL.

This is difficult, usually the person will go around, but if you hit your break lights or something this could cause an accident. I like your idea of emergency lights.

How should I upgrade my hard-tail mountain bike?

I have a Giant XTC-850 Disc and would like to burn a little money on it. The chain got kind of rusted, so was thinking about replacing that of course. Other than that, the other parts work pretty well. I ride mostly on concrete trails with some light off-road riding. I'd like it to go faster on straight concrete runs. Any suggestions? Crank shaft assembly change make any difference? Thanks to all!How should I upgrade my hard-tail mountain bike?
Replacing the chain may or may not be helpful. Exterior rust on a chain is not a big problem. Just cleaning the chain and applying lube will usually take care of superficial rust.



A chain actually wears from the inside. As long as the internal surfaces have not rusted and worn, you are OK. Chains needs to be replaced before they have worn. If the chain is old and worn, your cassette and chainriings will be worn, as well. Putting a new chain on a bike with worn chainrings and cassette will cause lots of shifting problems.



Your bikeshop can measure the chain to see if it is worn. If it has, your best expenditure will be to replace the chain, chainrngs and cassette. Be forewarned, this is an expensive operation.



Unless you need to replace your chainrings, and you can get a deal on a complete crankset, I'd recommend you forget about a new crankset. A crankset is an expensive component and will do nearly nothing to improve your performance.



The best investments in improved performance come from reducing the rotational mass of your bike. To go faster, your single best exenditure will be lightweight tires. To go the fastest on concrete, you may want to consider slicks. Slicks will both reduce weight, and rolling resistance on pavement. Unfortunately cornering performance of slicks on dirt is not good. Thus, depending on how fast you want to go when off-road, you may want to compromise with a semi-slick design with knobs toward the sides of the tread for cornering on dirt.



Hope this helps.How should I upgrade my hard-tail mountain bike?
Replace the rusted chain IMMEDIATELY ( www.pricepoint.com) Ask any bike mechanic the specific size of your crankset (175 or 170 mm are most likely). The best yet reasonable crankset prices are at Blue Sky Cycling (www.blueskycycling.com) ---Shimano LX or XT are fine or go for the Race Face if its your choice. Buy some lube too for the new chains.How should I upgrade my hard-tail mountain bike?
hey. replace the chain before you do any damage to your bike.

Bikes to look at for what your doing would be Giant again. There good bikes

hope that helpedHow should I upgrade my hard-tail mountain bike?
new chain for sure.....25-60 bucks.

maybe a new rear cassette (sprockets - around $80-150) - the racing ones have higher gearing to go faster. (remember it;s a mountain bike so the gears are lower than a road bike. if you don't need the low gears for climbing steep hills - you could look into putting road cranks on it.

good new cranks will cost over $150 new (road or mountain ones) - but they can make things smoother and faster - cranks can come with new bottom bracket assembly and berigns - look for ones with external berings - ceramic begins are way faster but way expensive. In my opinion unless you are having problems this (new cranks and botom bracket and berrings) is too expensive for your purposes.



Tires for concrete (instead of dirt - around $60 bucks) will absolutely make you faster and in my opinion would give you the best bang for your buck- since you ride on concrete.

You could buy rims with hubs and cassete and tires -(maybe 150 on ebay) and have a 2nd set of wheels to switch off between dirt riding and concrete riding.



Ergon grips are really great if you ride allot. http://www.ergon-bike.com/



in my opinion if you are going to spend more than $150 or $200 on a mountain bike for the purpose of riding on concrete - just buy a cheap hybrid or road bike instead - you will be much happier %26amp; the higher gearing will make you go faster and farther on concrete.

Bought a 2nd hand LML NV-Spl (150 cc vespa).........Need Advice Please?

Hi all,



this is Sami from Bangladesh. I am a two wheeler fan (mainly motorcycles...have 1, will buy more soon) and bought a LmL NV last month. initially it was just to collect. however, the scooter is serving me in many ways lately. its a second hand one and its a 1987 model. 20 years of age !!



1st let me share the condition of my scooter.

%26gt;well its 20 year old

%26gt;none of the indicator lights or horn work. none of the switches work. The head light and the tail light have direct connection. Its kind of funny... when I go out at night, I pop a male-port in a female-port ( created by a claver mechanic).. Then both the head and tail light blows up...............!! however, the headlight is poor (any suggestions ?)

%26gt;the front breaks didn檛 use to work. (Got it corrected last week).



Now there are few things I would like to share:



1. The scooter has amazing pickup. its really good.... even after 20 yrs



2. Its a fuel hungry machine.....(too bad) my one goes only 25-30/ liter.



3. The scooter is not very well balanced. the right side is far more heavier than the left side and the scooter tends to shift to right side of the road if you do not have previous experience. (Probably scooters that have engine on one side are less balanced).



4. If I apply-break to the front wheels while running, the scooter tends to shift right...!! Got no idea why. (Please suggest if you can)



5. i went up to 80kmph with this scooter..........it was so great. BUT wait...suddenly the engine sized at 80kmph speed!!! My rear wheels skidded badly... however, I clutched just at the right time... the rear wheel got freed up form the engine and slowly came to a halt. then I tried to start the scooter....it did start, but couldn檛 go far..... It stopped again. I went to a workshop. There they said that my Fuel-Oil (2 stroke) mixture was not proper. I used too little oil while taking fuel and the piston almost seized.

I was lucky that time. The mechanic poured 2stroke oil directly in to the carburetor while running the engine high.



However, here in Bangladesh no one could tell me the right ration on fuel oil mixture.........( scooters are not at all popular here. 95% of the 2 wheelers are bikez)....Please advice if u can.



That檚 all about my scooter...





But I need your help...........please advice me on a few things...



1. How can i make my scooter more fuel efficient ? (piston change ? carburetor change ?)



2. I am planning to install horns and indicator light. my mechanic told me he can do it without a battery or rectifier by a direct connection.... (should i take his advice ? dose LmL NV (ks) normally have battery ?



3. What is the oil-fuel mix ratio ? please provide a reasonable measurement.



4. How do I improve the head-light quality? Bulb change?



5. Is there any way to improve balance ? (My one doesn檛 have the spare wheels. is it affecting?)



6. It takes a lot of energy to start the scooter in the morning.. 15-20 kicks. This is really painful. Please advice what can i do to get rid of this problem.....any simply solution?



7. Please provide ANY additional tips and info.............



*had to type fast. Pleases forgive the spelling errors..............

I am eagerly waiting for your advice and help.



Thank You.Bought a 2nd hand LML NV-Spl (150 cc vespa).........Need Advice Please?
Your problems appears to be big but just to tell u that these kinda problems are very common in LML NV Spl. I would try to give the answers to your questions accordingly.



1) To make your scooter more fuel efficient u must need to change the carb with a brand new one as u bought a scooter which is 20 yrs old and people in India and Bangladesh never even think to change the carbs. So the carb which u have in your scooter must be 20 yrs old. Also check the piston and ring of the scooter with a good mechanic as it might be possible that the scooter has never been overhauled in last 20 yrs. If needed change both of them. Ask the mechanic to check the fuel tank also and if needed asked him to clean the tank internally.



2) This 20 yrs old scooter never had a batter ever, so there is no need to put a battery. Yur mechanic is right as he said that he can make all the lights and horn work without a battery. Go with the advice of your mechanic and if possible ask him to change the whole wiring of the electricals in your scooter with a new one. It will work perfectly.



3) The oil-fuel mix ratio should be 100:2, It means that if u r taking 1 ltr of petrol then 2% of that should be the 2T. So in 1 ltr the 2T should be 20-25 ml, not more than that otherwise your scooter will start emitting white smoke.



4) U can try using the halogen bulb available for the new LML's however its not recommended as u must need an alternator to enhance the power for it. The best option would be to use a new regular bulb and changing the headlamp's reflector and the glass with a new one. It should work perfectly and the light's intensity can be doubled doing this.



5) If u dont have a spare wheel then try to get a new one installed there. It will surely help to maintain the balance greatly. Also, do check the rear wheel's rim for any malfunction. If it is bended or has any cracks on it then change it immediately with a new one. Also do check both of the tires. If they are old ones with no treads on them then do change them also.



6) Try using choke always after changing the carburettor. It should not take that many kicks to start. Also u can try tilting your scooter a bit on the right side for 15-20 seconds after opening the fuel. Then try to start it, it will start in 2 kicks for sure. This process can sound funny to many people but its a big reality for all the LML scooters. By doing this a rich mixture of fuel and air will go in the piston. Finally, check the spark plug and change it with a new one if u have'nt changed it after buying the scooter.



At last I would like to say that never try to apply front brakes directly while riding your scooter at high speeds. It will never work perfectly and the scooter can easily skid. Always apply the rear brakes first then if needed, apply the front brakes. It will provide u a better stopping st high speeds and the scooter will maintain the straight line.



One more suggestion for u...Ask your mechanic to check the rear and front shockers and if needed then change them with a new pair as they must be 20 years old now. It will not cost u much as the shockers come real cheap.



Remember that the scooter u have purchased is the sturdiest scooter ever made in India by LML after Lambretta. It will serve u 20 more years beutifully if u take just little care of it. Do not try to push this scooter to its limits. Handle it with ease and try to enjoy the ride....

Looking for toddler bed set

How do I fix the brake light on my '98 Stratus?

To give the history here... I learned my right tail light (inner brake light) was out. I checked the number of bulb I needed, bought it, and replaced it. Nothing: the light is still out. I messed around with it a little, switched the bulb for the brake light with the one for the turn signal (it had a different number on it; I wondered if the parts book gave me the wrong number), but still no tail light. And now no turn signal either! Frustrating.



Anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking it might be the circuit board; when I was changing the bulb in the first place, it looked like no one had touched the tail light assembly in eons - the access to the bulb wouldn't turn, and I had to use a screwdriver to pry it loose. And I had to do the same thing with the turn signal bulb. So maybe I bollixed up the circuit board? The other two lights in the assembly work (the outer brake light and the backup light).



Two questions here, really:



1 - Is the circuit board the most likely culprit. or if not what is?



2 - How difficult is it to change the circuit board myself? (Or to do whatever repair is necessary?)



Thank you!How do I fix the brake light on my %26039;98 Stratus?
Check the fuse first (the left and right stop lights are on different fuses for safety reasons).

Replace the bulbs as they were before - being different, the contacts do not mate.

1 - I hope not - even if it cracked, the conductor part, being thin and flexible, usually resists some time.

2 - depends on the car and your experience. Before doing it, check the board circuitry for continuity. It is usually fixed with self-tapping screws or similar fasteners to the body - apart the access, shouldn't be too difficult.

3 - before assembling everything, a drop or two of WD40 on socket contact may help. And don't touch the bulbs with bare hands, they last longer.

4 - while you're at it, check the ground connection, clean and WD40 as necessary.

With a bit of luck (and skinned knuckles) you might do it.How do I fix the brake light on my %26039;98 Stratus?
I'm thinking now you might have burnt something out when you switch a brake light with a signal light of a different number.

Signal lights, usually have two filaments and two connector buttons on the bottom.

Brake lights usually have one filament and one connector button.

When you interchanged them you shorted something out and hopefully you only blew the fuse.

Should have someone who knows what they are doing look at it.
