Fix It

Open the Quests front door. Adjust the drivers seat as far back as it will go in order to provide yourself with sufficient room to access the under-dash area.

Shine the work light in the drivers foot well so it illuminates the area at the top of the brake pedal arm. Retract the retaining tab on the brake light wiring pigtail with your thumb while gripping the pigtail with your foinger. Pull the pigtail off the brake light switch.

Set the new brake light switch into the bracket. Bolt it in with the box wrench. Plug the wiring pigtail into the new brake light switch by hand.

Depress the brake pedal and have your helper verify the brake lights work before driving your Nissan Quest.

Insert your key into the E320s ignition and turn it. Listen for a "clicking" noise. If you hear the clicking noise, you will need to have the car towed to a garage to have the alternator replaced.

Look at the fuel gauge while the key is in the ignition. Add gas to the car if needed and then try to start the E320.

Open the E320s trunk and locate the battery. Make sure that the battery terminals are connected to the battery properly. You can tell this by the "+" and "-" signs on the terminals and the connecting wires.

Connect jumper wires to the "+" and "-" terminals on your battery and then connect the other end of the jumper wires to a different car battery. Start the other car with the wires connected and then try to start your car.

Leave the E320 running for about 15 minutes to allow the battery to charge. Turn the E320 off and wait for a couple of minutes. Start the E320 again. If the car will not start, you need to replace the battery.

Look in your vehicles owners manual to determine what type of rigerant your van uses.

Set the rigerant leak-detector to the appropriate setting. The setting varies based on the type of rigerant your vehicle uses. It is typically labeled CFC, HCFC or HFC, and must be set correctly to locate the source of the leaks.

Move the rigerant leak-detectors sensor along the air conditioning hoses and other components, looking for the indicators of a leak. The indicators vary in different rigerant leak-detectors, but are often represented by a buzzer or other sound.

Pay special attention to connection points. Move the sensor across all sides of the hoses and other components.

Mark each leak with masking tape. This allows the mechanic addressing the leaks to easily locate it.

Turn off the Yamaha V-Star 1100s engine, then put the kickstand down to secure the motorcycle in an upright position.

Locate the small, round, glass window, on the bottom of the left side of the motorcycle.

Locate the two hash marks on the glass, one near the top of the glass, and one near the bottom. The top hash mark indicates the maximum amount of oil that should be in the engine, and the bottom mark indicates the minimum amount of oil that should be in the engine.

Bring the bike to a vertical position, to ensure an accurate reading. While the motorcycle is straight up, look at the glass and determine where the oil falls in relation to the two marks. The oil level should be between the two hash marks. If the oil level is below the minimum line, add oil before starting the engine again, and if it is above the maximum line, you should remove oil prior to starting the engine. Add oil a little at a time, and check the glass each time, to avoid over-filling.

Park the Mustang GT on level ground. Secure the front wheels using wheel chocks. Kick the wheel chocks against the wheels using the heal of your foot so it cannot move while you are under it.

Raise and support the Mustang using a floor jack and jack stands. Position the floor jack under the Mustang GTs rear-end (differential) and lift the car until the rear wheels are off the ground. Position jack stands under the rear axles (tubes that connect the differential to the wheels) and lower the car onto the stands.

Place the transmission in neutral and release the parking brake. Turn the right rear wheel (by hand) and observe the left rear wheel. If the Mustang GT is equipped with "Traction-Lok" the left rear wheel will turn in the same direction and at the same speed as the right rear wheel. A properly operating limited-slip differential will cause the rear wheels to be difficult to turn by hand.

Place a container under the radiator and remove the drain cock. Drain the coolant into the container and replace the drain cock. Store the coolant for later use.
