passenger side window just froze and wont go back up or go down

Question:

I have a 2001 Chevy Silverado. Last night my passenger side window just froze and wont go back up or go down either. I was thinking its a fuse or something like that, but when I do press the button for the window to move, all it does is click on that side. Drivers side window is fine. Would you be able to help me out?

Answer:

Since the other window works , it is not a fuse as they are not separate. Most likely your regulator has failed you and will need to be replaced. The window motor and regulator are sold as an assembly to be replaced at the same time.

My girlfriend has a 2000 jaguar XJ. She had one burned out low beam

Question:

My girlfriend has a 2000 jaguar XJ. She had one burned out low beam, and when the mechanic replaced this one bulb, both low beams barely threw any light. She drove a few days with the high beams on to compensate, but now they aren't working. Could the mechanic have screwed things up? Installed the light wrong? etc. He claims she now needs a new part which will be hundreds of dollars...all for a burned out headlight. The rest of the lights were fine until he replaced the one bulb. The other low beam was plenty bright. In fact, it was brighter by itself than the two low beams combined after he replaced the one bulb. I wondered if it could have been a ground issue or something to that effect.

Answer:

If all the mechanic did was replace the headlight that went out for some reason and the lights did not work correctly afterwards, then i would say the part was probably bad to begin with or the replacing the bulb would have fixed it the first time.

It is possible, You should have had him remove the bulb after noticing that it did not fix it right but you probably would ave found it needed the same part as what the mechanic is telling you that you need now.

Question:

wrangler Jeep 4.0, my 94 wrangler is overheating and has an entire new cooling system. it now is idling rough and stalls out. whats wrong? replaced the entire cooling system. was fine for a month now it overheats again and idles rough and dies

Answer;

This is a classic sign of a blown head gasket. To confirm this, have a compression test done. All cylinders should be within 20 psi of each other. If not, you have a blown head gasket. Have the head check for cracks once removed to be on the safe side.

I have a 2004 Ford Mustang. Just had the following work done: 4 New tires, front ball joints, frt rotors and pads, rear brake rotors and pads; $2200. Was this a fair price? Answer: Depending on what kind of tires and size. The front pads and rotors and rear pads and rotors at "brake shops" run around $1200.00 usually less at a local car repair shop and could be more at a dealer. Ball joints could run around $450.00 installed. and tires can run from $100-$250 each depending on what you got. So if the tires where good ones then you got a fair price.
