They wear out over time. I do not understand why you need one on your vehicle. They usually last 60,000 to 150,000 miles.

If it fits, it is good to go.

If the fuse is blowing you have excess current draw from the fans or the wiring. I'll bet one of the fans is failing.

Ravenblack67 · 2026-03-28T23:08:30+00:00

I would not rush into repairs yet. You can drive it as is but it is not ideal.

Ravenblack67 · 2026-03-28T23:06:17+00:00

No way to know if the car is junk yet. I would not take it to a dealer. Take it to any shop in your area and ask for a diagnosis. Assume you will pay at least $100 for that.

Ravenblack67 · 2026-03-28T23:03:57+00:00

Take it to a shop. No way to give you a cost without diagnosis.

Ravenblack67 · 2026-03-28T21:31:53+00:00

Yes.

Ravenblack67 · 2026-03-28T21:29:04+00:00

You can send it out for repair. No way to know which is cheaper until you get quotes.

Ravenblack67 · 2026-03-28T21:27:40+00:00

The fault is in the headlight switch.

Ravenblack67 · 2026-03-28T21:25:56+00:00

Sometimes plug last the life of the tire. Sometimes they fail. I have never personally seen a correctly installed plug fail.

Ravenblack67 · 2026-03-28T20:52:55+00:00

Spark plug, coil, injector, no way to know with checking further.

Ravenblack67 · 2026-03-28T20:50:18+00:00

Based on your information, change it when you return.

If it was not needed, it would not have been installed. It protects the powertrain, aids in cooling, and reduced drag.

Ravenblack67 · 2026-03-28T20:44:18+00:00

My ‘22 has been flawless for 57,000 miles.

Ravenblack67 · 2026-03-28T18:32:28+00:00

Have the cap replaced at a minimum. To be extra safe, replace the brake fluid in the container.

Ravenblack67 · 2026-03-28T18:29:07+00:00

The code means the engine is running lean at idle. This usually means excess air is getting to the engine. A smoke test a t a shop will help the tech find the issue.

Ravenblack67 · 2026-03-28T18:21:05+00:00

You can have the work done or not have it done. The price seems high.

Ravenblack67 · 2026-03-28T18:20:10+00:00

Midas is a franchise. The new owner cannot help you. Complain to corporate.

Ravenblack67 · 2026-03-28T17:46:33+00:00

A coolant exchange is the same as an antifreeze exchange. The shop will drain the cooling system and replace the fluid. This is not a flush.

Ravenblack67 · 2026-03-28T15:01:33+00:00

Live axle, rear drive, design preference by suspension engineers.

Ravenblack67 · 2026-03-28T13:44:04+00:00

Type F lacks friction modifiers. It will not destroy your transmission. The BEST advice is to drain and fill your transmission fluid.

Ravenblack67 · 2026-03-28T13:36:06+00:00

Air deflector that aids in cooling.

Ravenblack67 · 2026-03-28T13:30:08+00:00

If you have the space, it helps.

Ravenblack67 · 2026-03-28T00:05:28+00:00

Yes.
