| Maybe my last question was not written clear. What price of a used car is fair when knowing the blue book value? Or if someone prices a vehicle to sell, say 2000 above blue book value, is this fair? Or maybe this is the bargaining point? Thanks | |||||

| As a retired dealer, here is a good way to tell value, search loan value, subtract for usual stuff, high miles, damage, where you live and if it's a dealer. Loan value is wholesale, add two grand. Usually that is retail, throw that out window if it new car dealer selling it. Always check it's not flipper, title brands like reconstruct drops values to half wholesale, | |||||

| Answer to: 2014 Ford Edge Limited's Power Windows has stopped working. | 21Relevance | 4 years ago | jack62 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| There's 2 fuses, the Accessory Delay Relay, and the Power Windows Circuit Breaker, powering the window motors. If the Accessory Delay Relay was faulty then the radio wouldn't work either. They're all in the Passenger Compartment fuse box (BCM). But before you do anything check to see if you can operate the front passenger window from the switch on the front passenger door. Here's how those windows are wired. Notice where I put a Yellow Circle around the splice in the blue wire from the Power Windows Circuit Breaker. It splices off to the right in the diagram and provides direct power to the Front Passenger Door. If you can operate the Front Passenger Door window using the switch on the front passenger door then it's almost a sure bet that the blue wire is broken at the connector between the driver's door and the car body. But if you can't then check those fuses, circuit breaker, and relay. (they're all shown in the wiring diagram) That connector is behind this rubber cover right here: Peel back the rubber cover and check if the blue wire is broken off from the wiring connector. (It's right on the top of the connector). If it isn't obvious, give it a little tug ((giggity)) and make sure it doesn't pull right out. Even if it isn't broken off, grab a test light and with Key ON, backpin that wire at the connector and make sure it has power. If it doesn't have power and you can't work the passenger window from the passenger door switch either then you have to test for power right at the fuse box. According to the wiring diagram that circuit plugs into the Fuse Box/BCM at connector C2280D so you'd locate the blue wire on that connector, backpin it and Key ON check for power. | |||||
| Engine smoking | 21Relevance | 4 years ago | Kuda | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Greetings Scotty. My vehicle is a Iveco daily 35s11, 2.8 liter, year 2000. I had it overhauled after it was blowing blue smoke particularly on start up and also the oil pressure dash light was on. They checked the bearings and noticed that some copper was now showing, however the piston rings where still in shape but we put new ones, we also put new stem seals. Overally the engine was still in good shape as the crankshaft was not damaged at all and the engine block was good as well. So after the engine was assembled back together, it is still blowing blue smoke. I am now dont understand where the blue smoke is coming from. I tried to see if the turbo is blowing oil by placing my palm against the pipe as the engine was running but no oil on my palm and as the turbo pipe was disconnected blue smoke still came out. Also the oil pressure light randomly turns on and off. Thanks | |||||
| Answer to: What is a good book for learning auto tech? | 20Relevance | 3 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I’m not a mechanic. Just a DIYer. Most of my learning came from real life experience trying to understand a problem I had with my car or curiosity about how the things work, from websites, forums and/or YouTube. YouTube: Scotty Kilmer, CarWizard, EngineeringExplained, ChrisFix, EricTheCarGuy, The Car Care Nut, and more. But for an actual book, the one that I learned the most from was the official repair manual for my 1999 Honda Accord. If you can get your hands on the official manual for any car you own, it’s fascinating to look through and see how everything is put together. | |||||

| Answer to: Oil consumption | 21Relevance | 6 years ago | RonJr | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| There is not enough detail info here to provide a focused response. I assume you are not mixing up the transmission / oil fillers / dip sticks. -------- Q1: What is the Make / Model of the vehicle? ------- Q2: How many miles on the vehicle? -------- Q3: Automatic or Manual trans? -------- Q4: Is the car level and are you waiting until the car cold to check the oil? -------- Q5: Are you using Synthetic oil (or) have you recently changed to Synthetic oil? -------- Q6: Do you notice any blue smoke out the exhaust (especially when under acceleration or going up hill)? -------- Q7: Did you recently purchase the vehicle used? Note: If Yes to Q7, sometimes sellers will put Synthetic oil it high mileage cars (or) cars with blown head gaskets because synthetic oil does not burn "blue" exhaust as synthetic oil can appear to have mostly clear / normal exhaust when it's burnt in the cylinders. -------- In 40 years of working on cars / engines, there is only one vehicle I encountered that literally consumed almost 1 Gallon of oil per week and that was a very high mileage mid-70s Chevrolet with blown rings, valve guides / seals, etc. (oddly it was not leaking much oil). This vehicle billowed beautiful blue smoke the size of thunder clouds and was easy to spot for miles. ------ Lastly, if you're using Synthetic (and the vehicle manufacturer owners manual says it's safe), I would switch to using dino oil and monitor for blue smoke. Also, you could perform an UV Oil Leak Dye test and see if it's leaking somewhere in the Engine / Trans you can't see (it "might" also show up at exhaust points as well): | |||||
