It shuts off while driving. What is it?
Your battery cable is grounding out on the frame of the truck, check by the exhaust manifold area where the cable runs down to the starter or the ground cable is loose between the engine and the body of the car.

No headlights works when switch turned on
Jeffrey,
If you are confident that both headlights are good, then my suggestion is to first investigate whether your fuse to the lights is blown.
To locate the fuse box, consult the owner's manual. But I believe you'll find it if you look under the dash on the driver's side. It is either on the left side of the driver's footwell in a side panel, or it is up under the steering column. Consult the owner's manual to find it.
Pop the fuse door off and look inside the door for the layout of the fuses and what electrical items they connect to. Your owner's manual may also have the layout picture of the fuses. You should see a fuse for the headlights. You'll need to pull that fuse and inspect it. The box cover may have a plastic fuse puller (which looks like large flat tweezers) so use it to grab the headlight fuse and pop it from its socket. If no fuse puller is in the box, then use a pair of needle nose pliers to carefully pull the fuse.
Once you have it out, hold it up to the light and see if the metal link inside the plastic portion (just above the two flat blades) is broken or "blown"). If it is, then that's your problem and you simply need to replace that fuse with an exact one that has the same amperage rating. The amperage rating is a number stamped into the top of the plastic fuse (e.g. 10, 25, 30, etc). Sometimes the fuse box has a extra fuse of that color and amperage, so check it before heading to the store.
If the metal link looks solid and unbroken, then take a emory board (that the ladies use to file their nails) and draw it across those flat blades to remove any oxide. This ensures the flat blades make solid contact with the fuse socket when you re-insert it.
Check the lights after inserting the new fuse, or the original good fuse.
If the lights still do not work, then I'd look to this next step:
Check the wire sockets going directly into the two headlights to be sure they are well-seated into the back of the lamps.
If that doesn't remedy the issue, then you are likely looking at a bad dash switch. Before you pull the current dash switch, give it a vigorous on/off cycle a few times in case it has some oxide on the contacts inside. Also check it's wiring socket on tha backside of the swith to ensure it is well-seated. That can be a pain to get to, tho. Hope this helps. - RedRanger
Peugeot expert central locking not working
A faulty central locking system might be due to several reasons, such as a blown fuse, faulty solenoid, or electrical wiring issues. Also, it's good to remember the fault might not be with the central car locking system but the key fob instead; over time, fobs require battery changes.
2001 Cadillac Deville Northstar Engine thermostat location
4.6 Northstar V8. It is located on the rear of engine (driver side) in front. It is in the the water pump housing cover. Remove air box and intake tube and bottom radiator hose. 2 bolts(believe 10mm) on thermostat housing. These systems are a little finicky about air pockets....so fill slowly and let run at idle until operating temp and let cool and check level.....fill as needed and repeat if needed.
1944c Furuno radar array won't spin 7 years old. Just beeping
It seems like you're dealing with a technical issue related to a Furuno radar array. If the radar array is not spinning and is emitting a beeping sound, there could be several possible reasons for this problem. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:
- Check Power Supply: Ensure that the radar array is receiving proper power. Check the power cables, connections, and any fuses that might be relevant. Make sure the power source is functional and providing the correct voltage.
- Inspect Mechanical Components: If the radar array won't spin, there could be a mechanical issue with the rotating mechanism. Check for any obstructions or debris that might be preventing the rotation. Lubricate any moving parts if necessary.
- Connection and Wiring: Examine the connections between the radar array and its control/display unit. Loose or damaged cables could cause communication problems and result in the array not spinning. Ensure all connections are secure and undamaged.
- Software and Configuration: Sometimes, software settings or configuration options can affect the operation of the radar array. Check the user manual or documentation to ensure that the radar is properly configured. Try resetting the settings to default and see if that resolves the issue.
- Error Codes or Messages: If the radar is emitting beeping sounds, it might be indicating an error condition. Refer to the user manual or any accompanying documentation for a list of error codes or messages and their meanings. This could help pinpoint the problem.
- Contact Support: If you've tried the above steps and the issue persists, it might be best to contact Furuno's customer support or a qualified technician for further assistance. They can provide more specific guidance based on the model of your radar array and the symptoms you're experiencing.
Remember, working with electronic equipment requires caution to avoid electrical hazards. If you're not comfortable troubleshooting the issue yourself, it's always a good idea to seek professional help.
