Default Popular mechanic's on jump starting your or anothers car.

They state that the ABS light may come on due to blowing the fuse when jumpstaring another car or if charging system exceeds 16 volts - FYI

Default Re: Popular mechanic's on jump starting your or anothers car.

Not that I don't believe them, but these are the same folks who printed that the Saturn SL (base model) had only 89hp but remarkably, possessed 225 ft-lbs of torque. I knew it wasn't a misprint either when they then went on to state that these torque figures were in the Mustang GT range. That's when I stopped reading .<p>Warren

Default But unless you're getting a jump from a Kenworth....

Your voltage should never exceed 14 volts, or whatever it is the other car's charging system puts out. Now I have heard a looooong time ago about people getting jumps from tow trucks with a 24volt elec. system, it is rare these days.<p>Personally I HATE getting jumped.. I'd rather put it on a charger.. but if you must jump, just ensure that the jumpER has a 12v system, and you shoudl be fine.<p>Rich Quinlan<ul><li><a href="http://home.att.net/~richquinlan">Quinland</a></li></ul>

Default Unity gain antennas are easy to fabricate, single wire sticking up from real deck would do.

Default Probably not..

I am not a car care expert, but glaze is used to "refresh" the paint every year or so, kind of like cleaner. Won't be necessary on a new coat of paint-- just clean off the dirt and protect it with wax...
