Hello, I recently bought a new battery for my '03 Celica GT (dunno if the year and model will help) it was fine for a day and now ive been noticing that my car keeps unlocking the doors 5 times in a row every other 2 minutes, when driving. Its very obnoxious, and i don't have the money to go to a shop just yet....is there a way to disable the power locking until i go to a shop? Thanks

Forum Thread: Electrical Problem

I'm a military mechanic, so I have a good knowledge of basic mechanics. My son has a '98 Chevy Lumina that keeps blowing fuel pump fuses. I know there is a short in the system causing this to happen. It started a few days ago, he was making a left hand turn and it blew. We replaced the fuse, that one blew also after a turn into a parking lot. He replaced it again and it didn't blow for a day or two, now it's blowing every time when he tries to start. That being said, my question is this, on t...

Forum Thread: How Can I Fix My Car Sound System?

I have an Xplod stereo with a 4F dblink cap with two 1000 watts each Kenwood amps and four 12" MTX Terminator subs and a new alternator all in a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. My problem is that when I turn up the volume at some point the subs stop working properly. They bump at low volumes but if I turn it up they lose their thump and it sounds like they're struggling and if I have my headlights on they start to dim. I also notice that the battery gauge starts to move down when the bass hits...

Forum Thread: Please tell me How to Attach Front and Back Bumper Valance on 06 Grand Prix????

I accidentally pulled off the front and back bumper valance on my 06 Grand Prix. I know that I will need to replace the bolts on the sides and middle to keep it in place. I am having problems getting the plastic squares to lock into the bumper. I was wondering if there is a special process on how to do this or any guidance you could provide. I have put together a document with a diagram and some notes.
