Why do my reading lamps flash on and off during driving?

Thursday, July 31st, 2008
Jake asked:


I own a 2002 chrysler concorde. Recently the reading lamps started flashing on and off with no apparent pattern at various points while driving. I suspect that there is some sort of short in the wiring. Does anyone know if this is the probable cause and how much should this cost to repair?
It does not have anything to do with bumpy roads….

Where can I buy Hurricane Lamps?

Saturday, July 26th, 2008
Cheeky Chaplin asked:


My cousin is getting married in September and wants to buy some glass hurricane lamps for the tables (the type you put candles/sand into). Any ideas where I can get about a dozen, obviously not too expensive? Went to Ikea this morning and they did not have any?

How do I get OEM fog lamps to work on my Contour, which didn’t come with the option or switch on the dash?

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008
eeffocekili asked:


I bought factory fog lamps for my 98 Contour. I mounted them and plugged them into the factory outlet - already in place. Now that I have them installed, they won’t turn on when I put my low-beams on. I don’t want to spend $100+ for a factory switch. Is there any way that I can toggle them on by myself??

Sunday, July 13th, 2008
apolloheatshield asked:


A lamp on the climate control section went out. Is there a relatively painless way to replace a bulb here?
It’s not in the cluster, it’s in the area where the heater/AC controls are on the very bottom.
