Black holes where are black holes found

There is a drain hole just right (as your driving) of the steering column on the drivers side of the car. You can access this hole from the engine compartment. its right on the firewall. I just had this issue with my 2003 Galant (4 banger) and tried to dislodge the obstruction with a plastic tie, but it would not turn the corner to do the job. <br /> <br /> I then took the carpeting down on the drivers side of the car and found the tube. Its about 1/2 inches in diameter, black and at the lowest point of the plastic drain pan. I drilled a small hole in the tube and stuck a hanger into the hole to dislodge the obstruction. Since I used the plastic tie, I knew the obstruction was towards the cooler. Water started to flow out of the newly drilled hole and through the firewall drain hole. Once the water was drained, I plugged the drilled hole with gasket material. Let it set for a day and it was just like new. <br /> <br /> <br /> It tool about 20 minutes and was easy. Just make sure you drill the hole so that the wire hanger goes the right direction (towards the cooler). <br /> <br /> Good luck.<br /> <br /> Fran<br /> <!-- from fixya rte -->

I have a 1997 Toyota Camry. Water was collecting on the front PASSENGER floor after a rain. I opened my sunroof and found the front drainage holes (about 1/8" diameter) in the corners of the track sunroof track. They looked clear. I poured a bottle of water in track and watched the result. Sure enough, water started dripping from the right ride of the glove box on to the floor. I started tearing out the interior panels to trace the leak. What I found is that if I poured the bottle of water REALLY slow into the sunroof hole = no leaks. But if I pour it too fast the small 1/8" hole cannot keep up and the track overflows! THAT is where the leak comes from in my car! If water overflows the track, then it makes its way down the column trim, around the glove box and on to the floor.

So I need to help the 1/8" sunroof hole drain faster. I took some 18AWG TFFN electrical wire and jammed it into the hole to help clean it out. I then removed the black plastic mud flap behind my front tire and blew out all of the leaves and rotted debris that where behind that flap. It was packed with junk! I poured more into the 1/8" hole and it seemed to drain quicker.

I hope this information helps others.

A leaking windscreen,door seal or window seal. Run a garden hose over your car and use baby powder to pin point where the water is in running from.

maybe the heater rad is leaking

Hi,

Thanks for using FixYa!

What you found is the alarm module. Just tuck it back in securely. Nothing to worry about right now...

Have a great day.

here's an ilustration hat might help you. Did this sensor or solenoid just fall out? No place for a bolt to hold it in? Can you see a hole where it goes? What's on the sensor? A push button?

Install electrical connectors on proper solenoids and sensor until a slight click is felt.

there is a code for color!? ok, wait im searching...
found it! here you go, hope it helps...

Wiring color codes are the identification colors that color the wires in your automobile. For example, if you have a British car the blue, blue and white , and blue and red wires are for the headlights. The red and white wires are for the instrument lights, and the green and white and green and red wires are for the turn lights. The color code simply identifies what that wire does. Could you imagine if all of the wires were the same color. You couldn't identify anything in a harness.

Just recently found this on my MPV. get on your back and slide just under the front of the van. just behind the bumper you'll see several holes about 3/4" to 1" diameter. there is one located more toward the driver side. there is a large black Phillips head screw. this should be the drain for the coolant/antifreeze. if you look inside under the hood, or through some of the other holes, you should be able to see where this connects to the radiator. hope that helps.
