Why does my car not start when I push the start button?

False input or lack of input from sensors like the crankshaft position sensor (CKP) or camshaft position sensor (CPS) can prevent the engine from starting. Also, a bad throttle position sensor (TPS) may cut off the spark to the cylinders.

Why does my fluorescent light keep turning off?

Remember to turn off the power first! An old tube blinks off and on just before it dies; repairs are often simply a matter of replacing it. This problem may also occur because of poor contact between the pins at the ends of a tube and the tube holders. If the pins are bent, use needle-nose pliers to straighten them.

Why does my alternator run when I Turn Off the car?

Generally, an OEM harness will not have the problem of alternator “run-on”, as there is usually a resistance wire in the dash harness to keep this from happening. Solution: To figure out where the problem exists, start the car and with the key in the ON position and the car running, turn off the key.

What do you need to know about neon lights?

Fix several issues with neon lights. A neon light is also known as a luminous tube. This form of lighting is frequently used for signs.

When a high voltage power source is connected to the light, it will glow.

What should I do if my neon sign keeps flickering?

Mercury in new neon signs may have yet to turn into vapor. If that’s the case, leaving the sign on for a few days should solve your flickering problem. If you don’t want to wait a few days, you can turn the sign off and shake it vigorously to see whether you can loosen up the mercury, so that it becomes vapor quicker.
