6)   With cars of this age and mileage, its all about condition. Nothing else matters. Buy the one in the best condition and don't worry about the rest of the stuff. - Uncle Bo

7)   I my self would go with the monte carlo. I have owned a 95 monte for the past 8 years. I bought it with 128k miles when i was 16. I still have it to this day. I blew the transmission up at 190k but once I bought a new one I started to drive it like an adult and not the dumb kid I was at 20 years old. Lol live and learn. I also did a altinator at about 170k, a water punp at about 205k and a starter at 218k. Now it has 224k and it still runs like a champ. But i do go threw about a quart of oil a month for the last 24k or so. I put this car threw hell and it still survives the midwest extreme winters and summers. Good luck. - Hawk147

8)   I had owned a 99 Monte Carlo, RUN, run for dear life and do not mess with it or you'll be spending more money on rent a cars and service shops. - lkl

9)   Buy the one in better shape and has maintence records if possible. Test drive before you buy. - C-Tech

Question 2
left headlight sometime working only if i punch light,99" plymouth breeze 4 cyl?...  
I CHANGE BULB. AFTER I CHANGE CONNECTOR, SAME PROBLEM, I JUST WANNA KNOW IF EWERY HEAD LIGHT HAVE SEPARATE FUSES,,,

Answers
1)   Check the plug that into that headlight bulb to see if it's either loose or the plug connectors are rusty or corroded and check the wiring , especially the ground.I've even seen bulbs that will act up bec there is a problem internally in the bulb itself , just don't change one bulb alone if you decide to change it change both sides.


Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way check the wiring harness fully especially where it bends or where it's tight and if the vehicle was ever hit etc on that side be sure to check the tightest parts of the harness for bad connections or look for a crimps in the harness etc.If it's an older vehicle the headlight bulb socket might need changing or a the ground wire needs replacing or where it connects to requires cleaning. - helpful bob

2)   Yes, they are on separate fuses. You obviously have a connection problem, if you have access to a test light, do this.turn lights on and when there not working undo socket from lens with bulb still attached. If by wiggling the the light came on then most likely in that area. now if the bulb isn't on take out of socket and check for power, if your test light lights up you have a ground problem which shouldn't be too difficult to find, put bulb back in and wiggle the wires down the loom and if they come on while doing that you have a broken wire, make sure lights are off if repairing yourself or a shop will be able to and shouldn,t cost that much. - Chris

3)   It sounds like you have a bad filament in the bulb itself. - badbill1941

4)   Headlights aren't on fuses, they use a circuit breaker that will come back on after it cools down, usually just one breaker. This is done for safety, so if there's a short, they will go out, but come back on shortly after, with a fuse, they would never come back on. One that has a dead short will go out and come on continuously, an intermittent short will do it once in a while, whenever the wire shorts out.

If you've changed the bulb and socket with known good replacements, then you have another wiring issue.

Also, be careful punching the headlight, they'ree expensive to replace and I've seen people break them hitting them to get the lights on.

Do both high and low beams quit working? If so, it's most likely either the breaker tripping, or a ground problem. - Mark B

Question 3
What Would Cause Water In A Chrysler Sebring Convertible?...  I have a Chrysler Sebring Convertible and every time there is a a heavy rain, about a gallon of water accumulates on the drivers side floorboard. The top is in excellent condition and this is the only place that water leaks into.

Any ideas as to what's up?

Answers
1)   The top, obviously, isn't in as excellent condition as you think. That's the leading problem with convertibles, rain intrusion. Believe me, I know. I've worked on enough of them and have also owned several. However if it's only the floorboard that's getting wet you might have a leak around the cowl, under the windshield. The only way to find out is use a hose and hose down one section at a time until the water comes in. - mustanger

2)   Check the drain outlets in the floor. if they are clogged, water will build-up in the car instead of draining out. There should be a on the right and left, just in front of the rear wheels. Good luck. - C-Tech

3)   Since it's coming in the front, I would check inside the front fenders for a buildup of debris. Leaves and pine needles and esp those maple whirlybird seeds get inside the fenders via the space above the hood, below the windshield wipers.
You can open your door, and look inside the fender. A bent coat hanger can hoe out the debris. Then try to rinse the smaller debris out by pouring water into the area below the windshield, and letting it drain down. Or, you could carefully hose it out after hoeing it out. A shopvac with a very skinny, long crevice tool might come in handy.
Once you have the debris out, there are little creases at the bottom of the fender. These are the drains for water. Make sure they are clear.
All this assumes you park level and that the water isn't traveling forward from the rear. If it's coming from the rear, then you have to clear your drain flaps at the bottom of the area just ahead of the rear wheels. Then you can check below the rear window for trapped debris in the water management trough below the rear window. You will prob have to take out the rear well cover (the thin vinyl fabric cover that the top folds into- it usually unsnaps all around). Vacuum it all out, and be sure to check those rear drains at this point if you haven't already. - GTCturboII

4)   Mine does the same thing. You probably have a leak around the top windowns and the top of the cars convertible top. To test this, the next time it rains tape a peice of plastic over this area. If it is dry after the rain you will know this is where the leak is coming from. - MJ FOREVER LOVED!

Question 4
We have a 2 year old chrysler and the fuel injector just went out?...  We have a two year old chrysler and the fuel injector went out in it piece of crap car. Now the mechanic said it would be around $600 to fix does this sound right?

Answers
1)   A fuel injector, as in one, should not cost $600. I suspect there are some other things on the list that need to be done. If this is 2 years old, and under 36,000 miles the injector should be under warranty. Good luck. - C-Tech

2)   ONE FUEL INJECTOR COST ABOUT $65.00, AND LET SAY 1 HOUR WORK OF $80.00, IT SHOULD BE TOTAL $155.00 , BUT 2 YEAR OLD CAR HAVE WARANTY?,, - REALTOR

3)   No, and c-tech is right, you should still be under your 3/36,000 warranty and the injector may fall under the 10/100,000 federal emission warranty, but you will have to go to the dealer for that type of repair
Piece of crap car compaired to what? - rick b

4)   Listen to c-tech - Chris

Question 5
Windshield Wipers keep streaking on 2007 Chrysler Sebring even after replacement?...  I have a 2007 Chrysler Sebring Limited. My wipers started to streak about 6 months ago so I got them replaced with Bosch wipers. They started to streak again after about 2 days. I had the wipers replaced with new ones and same thing happened. So I purchased a different brand again and again I'm have the same problem.
I took the car to the dealer and they ran various tests on the arms and springs and said everything was fine. They put in new wipers and said that solved the problem. I know that's not going to solve the issue.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? Winter is here and I really need to get this issue resolved.

Thanks!

Answers
1)   If the wiper tension is fine, I suspect that there's a wax or solvent getting on the windshield glass - perhaps from a car wash that also has wax as an option? - LeAnne

2)   clean the windshield good with windex and apply Rainex. get it a auto parts or walmart. - scaramonga

3)   Well, if its not the wipers then its the glass, right? Process of elimination and all that.

I suggest polishing the glass to remove whatever crud is on there. I assume the wipers were not streaking before, then something happened, the wipers started streaking, you started replacing them, and here we are. Sound about right?

Most of the good glass polishes are sold online. I think WalMart offers one called Glass Scrub from a company called Glass Science. You might also want to stop in a few auto parts stores to see if they have a glass polish (I am not talking about Rain X, that is a different product).

Another idea is to polish the glass with Bon Ami cleanser (not the polishing powder). Use a soft terrycloth towel or sponge and plenty of water You'll prolly have to wash the car or rinse off the residue when done. - Uncle Bo

4)   I'd want to know were the new wiper blades treated properly before insulation bec it's vital to use the wipes they give in each package of wipers , this is to clean the rubber and condition it. You could have some factory manufacturing residue on the the windshield or wax etc so you might want to try cleaning the windshield before you try any new wipers.There are different products out there that they sell at Walmart's or Canadian Tire stores etc that are designed to clean glass very thoroughly and they don't cost much more then 10 bucks or so.





Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way be sure you don't mistakenly buy the stuff for plastic bec this stuff is sold to use to clean glass or plastic headlight or fog lights etc.If you want a cheaper cleaner mix water and vinegar that will clean well too, plus you might want to go over the windshield and any other glass on that vehicle more then once to be sure. - helpful bob
