2003 Ford Escape Repair Question
Why when we turn the car on do the speedometer & tachometer peg & then return to normal when starting the car
Asked by Dustin BerlinAnswer
Check the interior lighting and stereo fuses. The car's electrical system sounds like it was damaged when it was jump started.
some of these problems occured before we jump started it
Same answer. When electronic things stop working, always check fuses first.
UN-JEWG YOUR BATTERY
INSTALL FULLY CHARGED OR NEW BATTERY...DON'T MATTER
INSURE CHARGING SYSTEM WORKS....A POPULAR AUTO PARTS STORE WILL DO IT FOR FREE MOST OF THE TIME
YOUR "RUN" DOWN BATTERY MADE THE COMPUTER GO HAYWIRE
JUMPING YOUR RIG, FIRED YOU UP
COMPUTER WAS STILL HAYWIRE, FROM THE VOLTAGE DROP INITIALLY
UN-JEWG-ING MR. BATTERY AND A ......A.......A.....10 MINUTE WAIT, SHOULD RESET MR. COMPUTER
THEN INSTALL YOUR FULLY CHARGED BATTERY
OFF TO THE PARTS STORE---TESTING!
IF THE BATTERY OR CHARGING SYSTEM SHOULD DROP VOLTAGE AGAIN
GUESS WHAT?
SAME THING WILL HAPPEN!
RETURN WITH WONDERFUL NEWS!!!
..........................AND YOU OWE ME LUNCH!

NEVER HEARDA JEWG-ING IN AN 'LECTRIC CORD? (LIKE YOUR RADIO CORD)
AS SLOW AS I HUNT AND PECK, I TRIED SO HARD TO SUBMIT 2ND ANSWER BEFORE YOU REPLIED....I WANTED MY 2ND PART CLOSE, BUT BELOW MY PIC!
I GOT SO CARRIED AWAY, I MEANT TO SAY....."IF YOU WILL LOOK TO THE RIGHT OF MR. JEEPS HOOD----YOU WILL SEE 'HER' 2003 FORD ESCAPE"...........AS FATE HAS IT (AND THERE IS NO "EDIT FEATURE" ON HERE YET) I STUCK IN AN EXTRA "E" AND MADE IT INTO "HERE" INSTEAD OF "HER"!!!!
OK, SO I DIDN'T OPTIMIZE IT--STILL OUGHTTA WORK!
"JEWGS" OTHER MEANING....GOING TO A "JEWG JOINT"........THAT MEANS: TO TRAVEL TO A 'DANCIN' PLACE!
WHERES OLE Dustin Berlin, SHOULD KNOW SOMETHING BY NOW?
THE MEDIC
Juke Joint. As in jukebox, but normally meaning with a live band.
Nope. Never heard of "jewg-ing" an electric cord. No big deal.
