honda power steering noise when cold
2006 Honda Accord 6 cyl with 32k miles. Power steering makes noise when cold similar to low fluid noise but goes away when car warms up. Hasn't happened since last winter, and only a few times then. No leaks, fluid full and runs great in warm weather. Please help with dilemma.
Re: honda power steering noise when cold
Your Honda may have a bad power steering pump. You could try to do a fluid flush and then bleed the system or add an additive to the system to see if that helps.
Re: honda power steering noise when cold
Finally found a mechanic to fix the problem. Honda SB 07-086 stated the O-ring on the hose fails as it is too hard. Just replace the O-ring and the problem is solved. Honda parts stated this is a very common problem and they sell a lot of failed O-rings in the winter in Houston. All this time, effort, expense and over 50 different expensive recommended fixes over a $7.00 part only the parts counter man knew about. What a world!
Steering column releases when pressure applied
The steering column on my 1979 Ford Torino releases when pressure is applied without engaging the release lever. This happens when I am getting in/out and using the steering wheel as a support. Can I repair this without replacing the entire column?
Re: Steering column releases when pressure applied
Yes, you can have the steering column repaired on your Ford without replacing the entire steering column.
The tilt mechanism is worn out. You will first have to find the parts. Which will be difficult on such an old truck. Then you need special steering column tools to get to it and replace it. If you have no experience doing this, i would suggest taking it to a mechanic. It is not an easy job.

Not bad at all with the cost you have mention. Great work
Car runs without key???
96 honda accord
my car will run even with the ignition turned to off position and key removed. I had to replace a fuse twice already. Plus my back lights (brakes and running lights) , my dash light, and front daylight lights all suddenly stopped working. I've replaced bulbs (twice cause the first pair of new ones blew immediately) , i've checked the wires to the bulbs.... i don't know what else to do and if i want to get my tag my car has to pass an inspection. Please help!!!

Re: Car runs without key???
Sounds like you have an ignition switch problem.
The key goes into the key cylinder. The cylinder goes into the ignition switch which supplies power to the car systems. If turning the key off and the car still runs, the ignition switch is probably shorted internally / electrically.
This could also explain the lighting problem you are having.
