TROUBLESHOOTING

This Section provides an easy reference guide to the more common problems which may occur during the operation of your motor vehicle. These problems and possible causes are grouped under various components or systems; i.e. Engine, Cooling System, etc. Please remember that TroubleShooting is not a mysterious "Black Art" practiced by only professional mechanics; its simply the result of a bit of knowledge combined with an intelligent, systematic approach to the problem. Always work by a process of elimination, starting with the simplest solution and working through to the most complex - and never overlook the obvious. Anyone can forget to fill the gas tank or leave the lights on overnight, so don't assume that you are above such oversights. Finally, always get clear in your mind why a problem has occurred and take steps to ensure that it doesn't happen again. If the electrical system fails because of a poor connection, check all other connections in the system to make sure that they don't fail as well; if a perticular fuse continues to blow, find out why - don't just go on replacing fuses. Remember, failure of a small component can oftain be indicative of potential failure or incorrect functioning of a more important component or system.
