How to fix screen washer ?

It's pretty easy actually. Find the washer fluid res. Don't forget to take all the power cables off first. Remove the fluid pump, take it to a parts store - to make sure you get the right one. Maybe grab some extra tubing and clamps, they're all pretty cheap. One other thing to think about, check the sprayer jets on the windshield to see if they're the problem, replace if need be. Put the new pump in, connect fluid tubes and power, and you should be good to go. Hope I helped. Grimm

Adjusting headlights on 1996 fiesta (they are not high enough)

It is possible to adjust and aim the beams yourself. You can have several fittings on the headlamp to do this. There can be a simple phillips head on the adjusting screw or there can be a hex shaped head on the part. This hex is very small and you may need to buy a socket to fit it. What you need to do is go to the Web and look for a diagram on where to Park the car properly. The idea is to Park maybe 25 feet from a wall or flat Garage door. Then you are to take some tape (chalk mark) and make a cross-mark to a specified height above the ground. By having the car in a specified place and the lights adjusted to a specified height, it helps to prevent Blinding oncoming cars. Each light is adjustable left or right from the center of your car. You generally don't make the light wider than how the lights fit in the grille, and do not make the lights cross-eyed. With the States that require Annual Vehicle inspections the aim is part of the test. This makes sense when you look at the different heights in vehicles. Your vehicle is not a jacked-up truck. Generally measure the ground to center of the headlight assembly on each side. Do not aim above that height level, below is best. Common practice is to have the Drivers light lower than the passengers side.

How to unlock my radio (5000 rds) lock 13 M274131

Take that code and your car's registration to your local Ford dealer's parts department. They can look up the unlock code for you. You will need to input the code to unlock your radio. Write the code down in your owners manual, so that next time this happens [any time the battery is dead or disconnected] you will have to code to unlock the radio. Charlie

Hi my ford fiesta zetec 2001 as a fuilt code p0100 can eny one help with this please

Basically this means that there is a problem with the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor or circuit. Other MAF sensor circuit DTC trouble codes are P0101, P0102, P0103,PO104.You may not notice any serious drivability problems, although there may be symptoms such as a general decrease in power or sluggishness. A code P0100 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
  • The MAF may be disconnected, or a wiring connection may be bad
  • the MAF hot wire that is in the air flow maybe dirty
  • The MAF sensor may be faulty
you can clear the code and see if it returns if you have not tried that yet. then try the following.Verify that the Mass Air Flow Sensor wiring is connected properly and that there are no broken / frayed wires.Unplug and reconnect the MAF wiring harness.Check the voltage of the MAF sensor (refer to a repair manual for vehicle specific information). if this indicates the MAF sensor then replace it.

2008 1.25 Zetec. Why do clock/date & trip counter zero approximately 30 minutes after ignition is switched off?

first car? that all newer cars have this key off feature. and now KEY less? starts? (as in no metal key slot?) the owners users guide in the glove box covers this. titled, power off accessory delay feature. 10 to 30 minutes mostnewer cars have this A FEATURE. if inside car see this delay timer end, open driver door power off delay ends. (proof it is this)' this feature prevents draining car battery dead and now stranded with hug towing bill. I can see all there in totality, to just be sure..... or is this. (if it loses time on clocks) a fuse is blown. stand-by memory fuses. cars have many, now. for each computer on board. check all fuses. can I assume car drives great????? and scan tool scans show no DTC errors>? some newer a cars now have newer feature to bring back , KEY ACCESSORY mode. now missing with autostart buttons no metal key, so read the users guide for that. (some have this longer start button push rule) what's next clap on , clap off cars?
