I can't see how a battery vent cap could take out your AC compressor.

SOURCE: need instructions on removing hyundai santa fe 01 fan belt ac

its your serpentine belt (thats what its called) and you will need a 3/8 ratchet and then find the belt tensioner. The tensioner has a spot where you need to put the ratchet into and pull or push depending on whatever way and that will releive the pressure off the belt so you can take it off.

SOURCE: Car stalled and won't start again

Sounds like it might be either the fuel filter or the fuel pump, cause if you ran the tank down, you probably had sludge in the bottom of the tank that you sucked into the engine, you can try using a fuel system cleaner, you may have sucked sludge into the injectors running it, Zmax sells a fuel system cleaner, or there is one called RUN RIGHT, I would try putting some of that in letting it sit a few min then after it sat a few to soak in and break down the sludge, then start the car up, kick your idle up to around 1500 RPM do not go higher then that cause you will damage the engine, try that and see if that works for you, if not then I is probably the fuel pump or filter.
hope this helps.

SOURCE: 1997 s-10 sames to get vapor lock

Change your fuel filter, it may have gone it's life time and is getting to dirty to let fuel flow properly. Your fuel pump to may be getting weak, if the fuel filter is dirty the pump works harder and heats up and could be over heating the fuel pump relay too. The fuel pump relay i believe is in the glove box behind a panel that say relay, there should be (3) in there and the middle one is the fuel pump's. switch then around after you change the fuel filter and if you get a chance, check your fuel pressure at the shredder valve. Good luck and hope this help's if there is a Auto Zone around you, you can ask to use the fuel pressure gauge to see what fuel pressure you have and they'll have the step by step instructions on how to do it and takes about 5 min to do and will have the fuel filter and step by step to replace that too. Keep me posted, be glad to help.

SOURCE: heat/ac fan doesn't work

go to the ac fan resistor first - then check the fan itself (put 12 v), remove climate control and check plug for shortage-melted wires

SOURCE: Santa fe turning over but wont start.

The starter is not the problem. Replace the engine crank sensor and you should be fine. Unless your battery was at the end of its life it probably just needed to be re-charged. If the crank sensor is bad it will appear to drain your battery so you think its dead but it really isn't. You can start the car by jumping it but when you turn it off it will slow crank again or not at all which makes it seem like a dead battery. The Most likely cause will be the crank sensor.

2004 chrysler pacifica no power even after jump

check for a bad connection like a bad ground at the battery, make sure both terminals are tight at the battery, the starter and the ground at the engine. the shop that installed the EGR should have erased the codes, after 50 to 100 miles you would be able to go through emissions.

1996 Isuzu Hombre overheated. Let cool, drove home. Replaced thermostat. Started it up and radiator burst out the side. Changed the radiator and now it will not start. It clicks but doesn't turn...

Well I am willing to bet that when you changed the thermostat you did not get all of the air out of your cooling system and that caused your vehicle to over heat and your radiator to explode. The bad thing here is now your car won't start. Since you over heated your car to that point, there is a good chance your engine got to hot and is now locked up. The clicking you here is your starter trying to engage, but it is unable to because your engine simply won't crank. I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask.

I recently bought a 99 chevrolet cavalier LS 2.2 from the time i drove it home it started heating up,so i replaced the thermostat filled it with anti freeze and it still guage read 195 degrees and fan...

If there isn't actually any coolant dripping out of the engine, or rad, or hoses when it is sitting, either running or not, you most likely have a blown head gasket. The easiest way to check is, when it is cool, remove the radiator cap, and start the engine. If bubbles are constantly rising to the top of the rrad, your head gasket is gone, and i can almost guarantee you that is the problem. Sorry.

if neither fan comes on, Just check the relays in the under the hood fuse box, and the fuses that go along with that ,, some are interchangeable so just pull one from something you know is working any move it to the fan space,, check all the fuses with a meter !!

Battery on a 2005 Mustang went dead. Had a Jump to get the car started. Drove & speedometer & odometer worked fine. However, I had Triple AAA install a new battery & now they don't work. ...

Did AAA clean the battery cable connections when they installed your battery? Did you check the fuse for the insrument panel?

It could be just bad timing or a coincidense but I am more likely to think things are connected. If your gauges worked after jump starting your car, but not after AAA changed the battery, something changed or was left disconnected.

Coolant leaking out the he radiator cap

Most likely:
1. radiator fan not turning. Check cooling fan fuse. Check loose/disconnected electric cable at radiator fan. Fan may be burned out.
2. Turn ON engine with A/C OFF.
3. Turn ON A/C to see if radiator fan starts up. It is supposed to turn whenever the A/C is on.

Few other possibilities.

460 overheats

Sounds as if the head gasket is leaking compression pressures into the cooling system. It seems that this problem has just occurred recently. This can be checked at your rad shop. They have a tool that uses a chemical solution that changes color if there is any engine gases present in the coolant.

If the thermostat is not opening then the engine heats up. So I would replace that first and then see about the fans not turning.
