your brake pedal has a plastic piece the connects with you switch...that plastic piece has broke! I just put in its place a nut and bolt. if you look under the dash following the brake pedal up you will see the switch and where the hole where the plastic piece was...you probably found plastic pieces on the floor and didn't know where they came from.

Can someone please help me? I have been having an electrical problem while driving. The car will just shut-off while driving, my rpm's just drop and car shuts off. I put new battery and problem continues. After around five minutes car will start and continue to shut down periodically. When car shuts down all other electrical components work fine, even starter motor is strong at these moments. Does anyone have a clue what I can look into? coil? regulator?

I have a 1990 z32 This is a little crazy but I have no clue why my horn will go off for no reason. I've notice that it only happens when it's hot out side. I live in Las Vegas the DESERT!
I went ahead and just pulled the darn relay out. Please help me.....

i have had this car for several years and love it. ever since i received it the door locks would go nuts like they were possessed. i have no idea what was causing this. finally a mechanic was able to somehow disable the locks, so i no longer get locked in. get locked in a car you ask. good question, the locks would in a possessed manner flip back and forth in a violent way and would not stop until the door was opened if you were lucky enough to get the door opened because no matter ignition on or off the locks would have a mind of their own. when the locks would go nuts the power windows would not work. for the last several months i have not had any window issues, until about two months ago. the windows are back to their old tricks. one minute they will work just fine other times not at all. examples: i can get in the car close the door and put the window down, but then i cannot put the window back up until i open the door. it almost seems like i have to break some kind of connection. sometimes i can get in the car and close the door and cannot put the window up or down at all until i again open the door. it does not seem to matter if i have the car on or off, each time if the window is not working i must open the door and then it will work just fine. i cannot just open the door a little bit i have to open it completly which is why i think when the door opens it breaks some type of connection/seal, but i do not know what to even begin looking for in this matter. is there anyone who has any idea? also i would like to get my locks back to normal if anyone knows how to do that. any information would be apprectiated. thank you.
