weird

So my heater and AC make a weird noise that you can hear in the video below at 0:11. It lasts for about 10 seconds, and then there is usually a 10-25 second delay before it starts up again. It seems to be louder depending on how cold out it is. It's something HVAC related obviously, because I...

My '04 makes a peculiar sound when applying the brakes. The sound seems to come from under the hood . It's not pad or caliper related and it doesn't do it every time the brakes are applied. It sounds like a rattlesnake shaking its tail 3 or 4 times then stops. Everything works normally, it just...

Just started happening in the last couple of days, but whenever I roll up my rear window, it would immediately roll back down. Even if the button remains pushed. It doesn't stay up. It's raining outside and I have no way of rolling it up. Does anyone have this issue before or know what I need...

About a month ago I started running into a weird issue with my nav unit. I will start the car and the nav unit will be black for the map, destination, backup camera and DVD screen (used for my Grom). The climate and info screens work as expected. If I disconnect the battery and wait a bit when...

1992 Land Cruiser IF I leave the AC Fan in the on position, turn off the key, take the key with me, and exit the vehicle. IF I open the lift gate, the AC Blower comes on and I hear a birdie noise under the steering column. Closing the lift gate turns it off. If I open either front door...

I put a can of r134a in after getting a reading that it was a little low and hearing compressing noises coming from the evap area. I still hear these noises but the readings are normal and the vents are blowing cold. However, when I look at my sight glass, it’s empty. Do these just fail over...

I have an extremely odd brake issue. It started out a couple of times when I went to hit the brakes it went to floor with little resistance and zero stopping. I quickly pumped the pedal and had full strong braking. As you can imagine this was quite alarming. I checked everything I could and...

Wondering if anyone has dealt with a similar issue because it has me scratching my head. My 60 is desmogged, holley sniper converted, hei distributor converted, dual battery system ect ect. It's pretty dialed in and runs incredibly well except it does this weird thing where I'll be chugging...

I came across a used land cruiser few weeks ago, it had too many issues even to consider a heavily discounted offer, but one area that caught my attention is missing nut bolt and weird wire harness bracket that did not look original for what I think is main ECU harness. I'm wondering what could...

Got weird dash light behavior. Going to check the 3 common dask ground locations tomorrow. Show in link below. Where are the FJ62 ground points? - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/where-are-the-fj62-ground-points.1018631/ That being the Driver & Pass A pillar bolts, and the common bond block...

I could use some of your expertise and guidance please about the rear coils of an 03 limited sequoia 4wd. I installed 1.5” rear spacers in conjunction with bilstein 5100s. I have confirmed that the shocks are not limiting travel bc as I jack up the frame, there is room for the shocks to travel...

So I replaced all of Mudhorn's AC parts that touch refrigerant last summer but never got the idle up to work. I had increased the idle to trigger the AC clutch and adjusted the RPM potentiometer to prevent any rapid cycling. I jumped back into this summer and what I found is that I have 12V on...

A few weeks back I tried to start my 97 LX. Has dual batteries and both were dead after the vehicle had been sitting for a few weeks. Tried charging them and still nothing. So, tried jump starting it. Still no start (just clicking). Should mention at this point, I had sufficient power to operate...

My daughter and I drove up into the hills, roughly 1500' of elevation gain from our house--5K to around 6500' at right around 90F. Right before we turned off the highway, my 1969 with 5.3L Vortec simply shut down. I pulled over to the side of the highway and tried to restart it--nothing...

@Laughingjackal and @PabloCruise came over and we starting discussing cruisers and boost issues. @Laughingjackal has an FJ60 with a 4bd1t, Garrett gt2252, front mount intercooler. He has to mash it to get 11psi max. I looked under the hood and the wastegate vacuum line was gone and the...

Hello friends. I have a 2006 lx470 with 260k miles. Since last year, it's developed a weird vibration/rumble sound. It only happens below 40 mph, most frequently at < 20 mph. It happens perhaps more frequently when braking to a stop. Seems to happen when the front of the vehicle is heavy, during...

Ok the other day I removed the battery and battery tray to adjust my steering box. When I returned everything back to normal and went to start it this problem occurs. Turn key to acc powers up everything hear clicking. Turn key all the way to start it KILLS ALL POWER until I remove negative...

Can anyone tell me where this Torx bolt may have come from? I happened to find it, size T30, underneath the plastic cap of the negative terminal connector on my battery a couple of days ago. I recreated how I found it in the last photo, below. I installed the battery myself in 2020. Since then...

Here’s a weird one! changed my fuel filter, pretty basic. Then for some reason my starter motor went on the fritz, when I try and start it just makes a wizzing whining noise and won’t engage? BUT! If I put my foot hard on the brake pedal the starter engages and my car starts??? Any answers??

G'day fellas, I'm new to the forum. Just a couple questions for the online mechanics or anyone who may know what I'm talking about regarding 2010 VDJ76 that i just got, has 230,000kms on the clock so just making sure all is sweet and have noticed a couple things my old VDJ79 didnt do. (Or didnt...
