<title>Right Blinker Out (dash), External Lights and Hazards Work</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22653049</link>
<description><![CDATA[Got an interesting question, was hoping someone over here could help a bit (if it were a PC, LOL, I'd have an easier time of it).

2005 Civic, LX, 4dr.

Dashboard blinker comes and goes (mostly goes). Just the one side. External flashers/lights work during turns, clicking noise works in both directions, but the dashboard lamp indicator when I signal a turn to the right just doesn't show up (yes, I have been one of those guys that looks like he his switching lanes for miles, and I can't stand myself for it). All other lights on the interior work and as far as I can tell, that one light is not on its own fuse.

Any thoughts? Flasher Relay? dying bulb (there do NOT seem to be any replacements listed on the net, unless I am searching wrong). Everyone else seems  to have either external light failure or something that always affects both left and right.

Thanks in advance and Happy Fourth!

<title>[Help] Purchasing Car Jack</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22632115</link>
<description><![CDATA[I don't have a car personally but my father does and he has a jack that is what I feel is old and is getting rusty. I am wondering if the electric jacks that usually plugs into the cigarette light adaptor are any good? Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/12V-DC-Electric-Car-Jack/dp/B000G2MHE4

This is not a truck but a simple sedan so something up to 100 dollars would be nice. I just don't want him having to deal with cranking the thing when he does have to use it. 

thnx!]]></description>

<title>Recommend a used one?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22585477</link>
<description><![CDATA[Wife's g-kid has moved in with us for college. Needs a car.
Has $4,000 max to spend on one.
No snow driving experience, so I'm wanting at least FWD for him (or AWD) cause I've found better control, and in Maryland he will have to drive in snow from time to time.

From what I've learned so far, taurus transmission is out.
As a poor student, he is thinking great gas mileage is good, but I've convinced him that if he can get a good car at maybe $2,000 less, he will have years of driving before the "better gas mileage" breaks even.

He is over 6' but I don't think that is a big issue these days.

Any suggestions for model and year appreciated. TIA

<title>Ethanol in gasoline</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22622606</link>
<description><![CDATA[I've been conducting some experiments on the gasoline sold in my area.  I live in the Metro Detroit area and we have a 7.0 maximum RVP requirement for all gasoline sold during the summer months.

Every station I have tested so far has been selling 100% pure gasoline.  I've come to the conclusion that because of the low RVP requirement they are not blending ethanol because it would cause the RVP to spike out of control.

Even Sunoco is 100% gas.  Their pumps say that it contains 10% ethanol but I tested it and it came back as ethanol free.

I got my test kit from here.  One drop of the Quik-Check solution in a sample confirmed the absence of ethanol in all of the brands I tested.  It will be interesting to see the results of testing the winter blends.

<title>Small windshield chip</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22333265</link>
<description><![CDATA[I noticed a small chip in the windshield.
I found this http://www.popularmechanics.com/how_to_central/automotive/1272411.html?page=1 and it looks like a very good write up.
Just wondering if anyone has done the repair. How easy is it (and how easy is it to mess up...my specialty)? Any suggestions? Any products better than others?
Thanks!]]></description>

<title>Clutch Pedal Has No Pressure?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22648113</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hello I am posting this for a friend of mine.

He has a 1992 Honda Civic DX 5sp that is now giving him a bit of trouble.

When he first bought this car the clutch pedal had pressure when you pushed down on it.

Now after having it for lets say 3 or 4 months now the clutch pedal takes little to no force to be pushed down to the floor.

The pedal does come back up on its own after you let go so I think the cable is fine (if this model even uses one).

I checked all the reservoirs under the hood and the smallest little one is almost bone dry except for the little bit on the bottom.

A lot of other online forums that I was browsing suggest replacing the clutch system, another one suggests replacing the master and slave cylinders and one suggested to bleed the system with fresh fluid.

I am a bit torn on this though, obviously I would like to get the cheapest solution but I don't know at this point.

As usual all help is greatly appreciated.
