Replying to: garie (Apr 26, 2009 5:29 pm) Yes a check list of 10,000 items makes perfectly good sense. It probably will only take a couple hundred hours and cost thousands of dollars. Those code things can't be trusted.   I would just keep on driving it with the CV joint ticking noise. When the wheel locks up you will know for sure what the problem was. At that time it will cost only a couple thousand to repair the damage.   You conclusion make perfectly good sense Replies to this message: garie (Apr 29, 2009 8:02 am) elroy5 (Apr 29, 2009 2:23 pm) garie (Apr 29, 2009 6:29 pm)

Replying to: omarr (Apr 29, 2009 5:06 am) As I understand the "code thing", it requires the engine to report a problem code. I may be no expert, but I'm pretty sure if the car's computer detected a severe problem and reported such an error code, the "check engine" light would come on, which hasn't happened, or I would be happy to look at the error code.   I had my friend's boyfriend check out the cooling system and it ended up being an 8 dollar fix. Guess that checklist thing would've worked after all if the man at the auto place had actually listened to me. I saved $92. I'm also moderately sure that there aren't 10,000 different things that could go wrong with the cooling system.   Pardon me if I don't fully believe you when you imply that the wheel will lock up if I keep driving on a bad CV joint when I consider the rest of your post, but I'm not going to spend money if it is unnecessary. I was ASKING if it was unnecessary. I define necessary to be life threatening, car totaling, or cost me a great deal more if I wait. If someone who doesn't belong to the Internet Hate Machine and actually read my question would enlighten me as to what can happen if someone were to drive on a bad CV joint, I would truly appreciate it.   I'm pretty sure most people who ask questions here are looking to save money or they would just hand the car over to a mechanic and say "have at it". I'm very sorry if my attempting to not waste my money horribly offends you. Replies to this message: elroy5 (Apr 29, 2009 2:23 pm) garie (Apr 29, 2009 6:29 pm)

Replying to: garie (Apr 29, 2009 8:02 am) I don't think the CV joint breaking would lock the wheel, but when it does break, you will not be going any further toward your destination. The clicking noise is a warning, and you are driving on borrowed time. It could last a year, or it could snap tomorrow. Replies to this message: garie (Apr 29, 2009 6:29 pm)

Replying to: tallman1 (Apr 28, 2009 8:11 pm) Neither of my fuse boxes match the diagrams on them, so I had to check every fuse. They appeared OK. Can a fuse appear OK but still be blown? Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Apr 29, 2009 5:45 pm)

Replying to: aarcee (Apr 29, 2009 5:02 pm) Yes it can appear okay and still be bad. Best to check them with a continuity tester (ohmmeter)
