Car in my sig. I hear the motor going but the arms don't move. Well, the did move a tiny bit after playing with the wiper switch (up an inch maybe) but immediately stopped. They worked fine tomorrow. This morning I had a ton of snow on my car. Having nothing but confidence in my mighty Kia, I...

So there's a jack stand thread going on right now which led me to Google 'jack stand failures'. Now I want new jack stands So who has recommendations for me? I took a look at Snap-On but would prefer to spend less. Is there someone in the middle between Snap-On and Harbor Freight? (And...

So I'm going to start by saying I know nothing about small engines or carburetors or anything having to do with this section. And I'm kind of embarrassed by my lack of knowledge but I need to ask... I have a Yard Man snowblower, one of the big ones on tracks instead of wheels. I have two...

Hi, I want to take the C-panel trim off of my 2005 Kia Optima to get to the wires for the rear defroster. Problem is, last time I tried to remove a trim panel I broke it and still couldn't figure out how to get the thing to come off. Does anybody have any tips & tricks or know where I can get...

In my 2005 Optima I have some bulbs out on my climate control. So far three auto parts stores haven't carried small bulbs, nor did they have a reference so they could look up the size and order them. I can find every type of bulb you could imagine on Amazon - but I can't find a reference...

My wife has a 2010 Ford Fusion with the stupid gas-capless design (which I see as more parts to fail with no real benefit). It's throwing a P0456 Small Evap Leak. Usually the gas ca is the first thing I'd look at but this car doesn't have one. I found a TSB about using the fuel fill funnel to...

Hi Everyone, Hope this is an appropriate section to post this in... Anyway, I got an Directed Avital remote start unit a few weeks ago. I was going to hire somebody to put it in but the guy I was going to go with has been tough to schedule with, so I started going on my own. So far I've broken...

My wife's 2010 fusion is having some problems with delayed engagement and hard shifts. 56k miles. The current ATF is kind of brown and ugly. I saw a similar thread from Klutch9 about his Fusion, and he got some improvement with Redline D6. I'm going to change my wife's fluid soon and, while I'm...

So I've got a 2005 Kia Optima 2.4l LX. I asked this over at kia-forums.com but no answered yet. Hopefully you guys can help me out This weekend it's brake line time. I've never made a flare before so I'm leaning towards pre-flared PolyArmour lines from AGS, stuck together with unions. I've...

2005 Kia Optima 2.4 L 4 Cyl with 97,xxx miles This is a weird problem that's been happening for two years now. Why have I let it go for two years? Because, oddly, it's seasonal. It will happen in the autumn and the spring. All I can figure it it's temperature related somehow, as it happens...

So it's time for a coolant change on my 2005 Kia Optima and I'm thoroughly confused. There's too many options on the shelf so I decided to check my manual. I figured there'd be a spec listed and I could just look on the back of the bottle for one that met that spec. Well, no luck. All it says...

So I was reading a thread here about a car showing low oil pressure. The idea some posters had was that maybe the bearings were worn. I've heard this before as well - that worn bearings will cause low oil pressure. Why is this? I don't get it but would like to understand. As far as I know...
