I've got a wrecked car and I need to be able to move it - Hard to do when it's in Park! :lol: I know on several other vehicles which require 12 volts from the brake light switch, there is an emergency way to insert a credit card in a slot to enable the shifter to be moved out of Park with...

Recently discovered that the fan has a 'Jet Engine Mode' which I have never heard in 8 years, despite living where we use the A/C for about 8 or 9 months of the year. In normal operation, you barely hear this fan but recently it has gone into this 'max mode' with very little use of the A/C. It...

I have no idea, but hopefully you guys can maybe tell me what to look at We bought a third car, a 2012 SE Premium with 27,000 miles on it. Had about 1/4 charge when I drove it off the car lot to the house. Full recharge netted an RR of only 40, which gave me a bit of pause. Aired up the...

Has anyone ever taken apart the lower portion of the dash? I'd really like to get to the back of the 12 volt outlet to splice in a triple outlet to power an ever increasing array of add ons. In my wife's car there is an aftermarket back-up camera, a dash camera and a 12 volt cord that runs her...

Got a tiny rock chip in the lower passenger side corner - Another inch lower or to the right and it would have missed the glass completely. That tiny chip caused the glass to break almost all the way across to the drivers side, so it's time for a new windshield They have the glass in Ohio...

I bought these wheels a couple years back and it's taken me that long to get them on the car Rear Tires are Continental ProContact TX, 185/60R15 on 15 X 5.5" BMW Mini wheels. Fronts are Continental EcoContact 175/55R15 on 15 X 5" wheels. No issues with regen. Although I don't have many miles...

Found this online today under "Ten Things You Should Never Do To Your Car" Never Overfill the Tires to 'Get Better Gas Mileage' The Internet is brimming with testimonials from people who claim they upped their mileage simply by inflating their tires to the maximum pressure listed on the...

While researching 175/55R15 tires to go on my new wheels, I ran across a new Eco Continental tire in 145/65R15 which is the OEM size for the front of our cars. The good news is . . . . they are only $85 at Tire Rack!! Don

I bought one of these to use with our new Chevy Volt and I'm pretty impressed with it, so thought I'd share it with the group in case anyone is looking for a good L2 EVSE with adjustable current settings...

There must be a wire somewhere there I can use as a 12 volt source to power a back-up camera - Anyone know what color wire to look for? Thanks! Don

Motor Trend got a Chevy Bolt for a long term test and one of the first things they noticed was lots of tire squeal and understeering when pressed hard in the corners - Sound familiar?? Since they were going to have the car for a year, somebody talked them into putting a set of summer tires on...

Elon unveiled his new semi yesterday. Only offered a few details and that leaves more questions than answers 0-60 pulling an empty trailer in 5 seconds 0-60 pulling a fully loaded trailer (80,000 pounds) in 20 seconds Ability to pull the 80,000 pound trailer up a 5% grade at a steady 65 mph...

That's not correct. The charger in the car can operate up to about 14 amps on either L1 or L2, but only if the EVSE tells it that it's safe to operate with that much current. Your EVSE is telling the charger it can only provide 8 amps, so the charger is regulated to just 8 amps. Use an EVSE...
