How do i remove my torque converter?
That car, you will need to remove the engine to separate the engine and transmission. Those come out from underneath by dropping the subframe I believe. Take it to a shop is my best recommendation.
Why does't my horn work?
- Check for +12v at the relay output when the horn button is pressed.
- If no voltage at the output when the horn button is pressed, check for voltage at the input.
- If no voltage at the input, check the fuse.
- If there is voltage at the output, check the chassis ground for the horn and, if chassis ground is good, replace the horn itself.
My front brakes wont rerlease in a 2000 Mercey Cougar
More than likely a bad brake booster, or a bad caliper if it is leaking fluid. Bad booster you may hear a noise like air escaping from under the dash when pedal is stuck down. Just changed one on my S10 doing the same thing.
What does front brakes wont release mean
It means the brakes are still applied...the hydraulic pressure from stepping on the brake pedal is not releasing once you take your foot off of the brake pedal. Causing the brakes to not release.

Raditor sensor light is on
have you had the OBD codes read? as will tell you what sensor/switch is faulty , at a guess i'd go with the ignition coils, but the codes will tell you exactly what the problem is
Why won't truck stay running. Altenator bench tested good, but running test was low amps. Starter tested bad and replaced as well as corroded negative battery cable.
Your bad cable may have prevented the battery from being charged up good. Put a battery charger on it, or replace it if over 4 years old.
So the problem is it starts and then dies? How many amps did the alternator show? Was it enough to run all power circuits and charge the battery as well? That could be a concern. It is possible you have a bad ignition switch, but first check the fuse for the gauges in the instrument panel fuse block-it may be labeled "gauges" or "meter". The fuse should get power with key on, and then power is sent to the gauges on the dash. Without a voltmeter to test for power coming out of the switch, it's kind of a guessing game. If power is not getting to the gauges, it may also not be going elsewhere out of the switch.
Any issue with a security or theft alarm light staying on? That would disable the engine from running. Post back with year, make, model, and engine size. Maybe I could look at a wiring diagram for further help.
TURN THE KEY OFF AND IT KEEPS RUNNING
By what you said is that switching the engine off still running. If is that what you meant, then you have a problem with your fuel mixture too rich,or the timing is in advance out of the specifications.Please be noted that when you switch the engine off and is still running is not correct run but is anticlockwise working and is dangerous to snap the crankshaft or camshaft. If you want to turn it off immediately then when switching off have a gear in and pushed the clutch pedal. when off the slowly release the clutch pedal to engage the gear loading the engine and stops immediately. Take it the soonest to a qualified garage.
Trunk latch doesnt close
place a screwdriver blade under the latch and while pressing on the release -pull the latch out.
Dead battery leads to transmission fluid leak
the reason your trans blows out fluid after you changed the battery is because the original battery is connected to the ****** vent tube i also had this problemb .i thought the vent tube was for the battery but it is for the transmission solution dont reconnect it to the new battery it dont vent the same and plugs off the vent tube builds up pressure in the trans and bows back out the fill tube ! why ford connected the tanny to the battery ill never know . stuppidty !!!
