AboutSkip Bollinger Expertise Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you.
I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire.
If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle.
PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you..

Question i had my truck detailed and they washed the motor it didnt start right away they flooded it but eventaully it did anyways now i have no headlights i checked the relay thats not the problem any suggestions??
Answer Cindy,
This is a repair question and I'm not qualified to answer repair questions on newer vehicles. This seems to be a "generic" repair so I will go forward with it. You say they "flooded" the engine so I will guess it has a carburetor.
How did you check the relay?? Have you unplugged it to see if there is moisture in the plug? Have you checked the fuse to the headlights to see if it has blown because of water short circuiting them? Have you checked the connections at the headlights to see if there is water shorting them out? The last thing I would look at is the Under Hood Wiring Harness that plugs into the firewall. On the other side of the firewall is the fuse box. There isn't water in that connection at the fire wall, is there?
That is all I can think of. Well, hang on. The last thing I can think of is the headlight switch. I know it would be weird but it could have taken a dive. I know it would be ironic, just having the engine detailed but stranger things have happened. It would have nothing to do with the engine detail. Please remember I'm a Parts Specialist, NOT a Tech.
I hope this helps and gives you a bit of direction. Good luck..
