I was wondering if any ledgies are mechanically inclined.
I have a real crappy 1997 Ford Taurus. I have spent 2 thousand on repairs since I bought the car a year ago. Here is the latest problem.
Was leaving the store and when I started my car the power steering went, it goes on and off. Get to the post office the car won't start right away. As I'm driving the computer is making these clicking sound and the seat belt light flashes of and on at the same time the steering is going on and off. Now the steering will be fine for a bit and the seat belt light still goes of and on from time to time. The check engine light is on, but was on before because I think the oxygen sensor is acting up again, that is another story.But the computer is not making that sound anymore. Took it to the garage and they can't find anything wrong. I have run out of money, and still need to drive my self to work and drive the kids around.
Any suggestions so I know where to start?
