Hi
Having an emergency road kit may mean the difference between sitting on the
side of the highway waiting for a tow truck or being able to make your way
to
your destination.
Steps:
1.
Use a cardboard or plastic box to keep everything in so it doesn't roll
around in the trunk and you can

Oil is as important to your car's engine as blood is to your body. The
engine oil lubricates, cools and cleans the engine. The oil light will go on
for
only two reasons: either the oil is low or the oil pump has stopped pumping.
In both cases, the consequences are expensive if you keep
Hi
In the unlikely event that your car ends up in the water, it's important for
you to stay calm and act fast.
Steps:
1.
Don't panic.
2.
Get out before the car goes under.
3.
Open the window quickly, if you can't get out fast enough. The idea here is
to get the pressure inside the car equal
Hi Ray,
Bowing to your research greatness, I wonder if you can find out what or how to
use the items in an emergency roadside assistance kit?
It's fine to know what to put in there, but what would each item be used for?

Well Dale has a very novel and workable solution. I kind of prefer using
some kind of continuity tester. Even just a buzzer or bell wired in a
battery circuit will work. The round or u shaped prong is as others have
said the safety equipment grounding wire. Of the two straight prongs the

Ron I was thinking about the idea of a continuity tester, I don't have one
ready made but let me run this by you and see if this will work.
I hope I can explain it well enough.
I have an old home stereo in the garage with detached speakers.
of course each speaker wire has 2 strands a left and a
Why not do this with a continuity tester if you have one? I would rather
hear the beep then enjoy the taste.

robert,
the trick with the stereo will work as long as you only
cut one wire and therese no way you can short the speaker
outputs of the stereo, some of the older amplifiers don't like
short circuits at all.

Generally you carry items in Case something happens.

Modern cars are generally very reliable. They don't break down and
leave you stranded too often. But this reliability also means that if your
wheels do conk out, you might be caught unprepared. To avoid being

robert,
It matters, perhaps not just the ground, but maybe all three.
If you have any kind of audible tester for wiring, then test it as it
is and duplicate the setup. Might not hurt to get the other two wires
backwards, but sure will be bad if you get the ground wrong place.

Hi Cy
Very good advice the preparation before a trip is crucial, for as much
trouble free motoring as possible and having spares on hand helps.

I am afraid that I disagree with some of these tips.
Some auto makers, Cadillac being one, used to advise their owners that, in
case of brake failure that the system was designed for you to be able to
make *one* stop.
Once you start to press down on the brake pedal do *not* let up otherwise
