Question: Help - 2002 Volvo S60. Minutes after having a new headlight assembly mounted I had electrical prob? 10 min of interstate driving after my S60 after having a new headlight assy mounted my message indicator read "exceeds voltage pull over safely" - very odd. I pulled over, turned off engine and restarted. No messages. A few minutes later I had a message "low battery voltage". The car restarts each time but the message does not go away. I think its too odd for a brand new (less than 6mo. old) battery to be low directly after having a new headlight assy mounted when that has never been an issue before? Any help would be appreciated. PS... mechanic said from the sound it needs new alternator? ... thats a pricey assumption.

Answer: It is quite possible the alternator is not putting out the right voltage...take it to a parts store, and have them do two tests..a battery load test to make sure you don't have a dead cell in the battery, and an alternator output test at idle. If the voltage/amps are low, it's the alternator. If all that is fine, there is probably a relay somewhere giving false readings.

Question: How do you change a drivers side outside power mirror assembly- the whole thing- on a 2001-2003 Olds Alero? I would like to see if this is something a novicw can do by himself. Its a power mirror, but I may be willing to live wiyhout the electrical hookup. I can get it done for $85 labor plus part by a professional though, is that worth it? There is a small triangular cover that is easy to pull off above the door panel, and opposite the mirror. But it seems I will have to remove the door panel to plug in the electrical, or does it plug and unplug from the mirror?

Answer: Most GM side mirrors require the removal of the door panel. Check to see if yours has a small triangle- shaped panel that will pop off separately. If not, remove the panel, and there will be three nuts holding the mirror to the door. They are usually a 10mm in size. After you remove them, pull the broken mirror from the door, and you should see where the wiring harness plugs in. Lift up on the plastic locking band, and pull the socket out of the wiring harness. Plug new one in, bolt up to door(Don't overtighten), and snap door panel into place. I have been an auto glass installer for 12 years, so if you have trouble removing the door panel, you can ask a glass shop to do this step for you.

Question: Help installing whelen LED hideaway strobes in the headlight assembly on a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500? Has anybody installed the new Whelen LED hide-a-way strobes on a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500? I have knowledge on the electrical side, but am lacking knowledge in the process of removing the actual headlights and taillights in order to drill the holes. If anybody can provide any help it will be greatly appreciated. -Thanks!

Answer: The process should be similar to what I had to do to put strobes in my 93 Ford Explorer. I had to remove headlight assemblies from the grille so I could set them on my work bench to have the room to get a drill in there to drill the 1/2 inch hole in the side of the reflectors. Still have to do the back strobes yet. Look for approx 4 screws that hold the assembly in place & remove them. Don't touch the funny looking screws, those control your headlight aim.
