Myboyfriend felt like a mechanic one morning and messed around under the hood Now speedometer doesn't work [>:]The RPM no work:{ [:-]I've checked the fuses still gauges not working. The only one working is the gauge for the gas tank. . So that's covered. Don't know what else to do there[:@]. What a mess[].My worry is theres a few hoses unplugged under the hood. My car is missing now. I think thats what you call it. Can anyone send me a picture of whats under their hood 1997 5spd dx/lx protege. Maybe I can figure out where those hoses plug into. Would be nice to get a few check tips on what I should check for the gauges. A wire somewhere? I'm not a mechanic but I can follow instructions from an angel somewhere out there. I've joined 4 forums for auto wat ever and luck hasn't come by yet.[/align]

 

I take it your boyfriend has now given up? Probably best for you to take pics of the hoses/underhood of your car and point out what isn't hooked up (I assume the "unhooked hoses" are still attached at one end, just not both....maybe we can point you in the right direction.....

 

Oh thank you! I'll do that right now. Do you have an answer for my rpm and speedometer gauges. No he hasn't given upJust don't want him near it for a very long while. My engine might fall out[:-]

 

I FOUND WHERE THE HOSE GOSE. YEA FOR ME. NOW I NEED TO GET MY SPEEDOMETER GOING. ALL MY FUSES ARE FINE. I WOULD LIKE TO LOCATE WHERE I WOULD FIND THE WIRES. 5 SPEED STANDARD. [&:][sm=helpout.gif]
