First, check ebay for a service manual for your vehicle. If you find one that some ebay store is selling for 99 cents, buy it. That's if you find one specifically for your vehicle on cd for 99 cents. It's may actually be a copy of the cd they offer at the dealership for $150-$200. So if you run into it on ebay, buy it. The other option would be to buy a service manual at your local auto parts store for $25(Haynes, Chilton). But those manuals cover various other manufacturers and models. I hope you find one on ebay.

i have an f150 and that fuse is located in the engine compartment in the power distrabution box. it will be a yellow 20 amp fuse. pull the fuses out and look for a burnt fuse. my best guess as i don't have a manual

is probably the brake light switch. it should be at the top of the brake pedal under the dash.

Do you feel it at slow speed, like in the parking lot? If so, its a tire or wheel issue. At slow speed if the steering wheel wobbles, its in the front, if you feel it in your ****, its the rear. If its at high speed 40-50 it may be a balnce issue, have a shop that does a lot of tire work check it, stay out of chain stores. This should not be hard to find.

usually a lifter that extends too far making the valve stick too far open for a short time.My 2000 f 150 did that last summer.try using thinner oil or at least 5w30,or use a engine cleaner to clean the inside before a oil change(YOU CAN ALSO USE DIESEL FUEL TO CLEAN IT,JUST LET IT IDLE FOR A SHORT TIME,ABOUT 5 MINUTES)and i use a valvoline oil in mine.Of what i can think of is maybe dirt gets into the lifter causing oil NOT to drain out,causing the lifter to extend too far.

the horn and aux outlet use the same power circuit, I bet if you actually take the fuse out and replace it with a good one it will work.

I am assuming that you just looked at the fuses, sometimes a bad fuse will look good, but transffer no current. Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/sean_54c3a3dc48a7773c

Most are spring loaded. If it has a bolt on the front of it, use a socket wrench and press it down and that should compress the spring and should create slack in the belt.

Hi Bakere,

The problem is usually getting the old one out. After that it's all downhill.

This is one of those times that you need the right tool, it's called a 'Pickle Fork'. You'll need to get one ($15.00 approx).

Take off the nut, place the fork on either side of the ball joint and give it a smack with a hammer. It'll pop free.

Install the new one and that's about it.

Best regards,
Mike

The coils are FAMOUS for going bad. Make sure you have good spark plugs, Motorcraft Platinums only. If it has anywehre near 100k miles replace all of the spark plugs.

Hi. These fluctuating pressure readings are a strong indication of oil pump failure. The oil pump is damaged. I recommend to replace this failing oil pump, and screen. Once replaced, the oil pressure will stabilize.

E150 have no struts, just shocks. One in each corner and can be replaced with common tools. Auto Zone or Parts Source carry the shocks you need and can give you the step by step instructions to replacing the shocks your self. Good luck

you my friend have a exhaust converter plugging up!
replace it with an after market type,cheaper and more power

clamp the tool onto the ball joint and tighten it up till its tight then with a hammer strike the joint on the side a smart blow,,, watch your head as the joint will spring apart with some forse,,,,if your using the tool right that is!

The TPS is located on the opposite side of the throttle cable on the throttle body. If you don't know what the throttle cables are, get a friend to sit in the van and push the gas pedal down until you see something moving. it will be on the opposite side of the movement
