You will need to remove the negative battery cable and locate the underhood electrical center. Once located, examine the cable and wires. If the cable is tangled and twisted remove the cable and push it under the power steering line and bracket. Reinstall the cable to the electrical stud and ensure the line and cable are not coming in contact.

Q: What are some areas that should be checked before getting a wheel balanced?
A:
Before getting a wheel balanced it is important to check for missing balance weights, bent rims, tire wear, bead seating, stones in the tire tread, and tire irregularities.
Q: When the brake pedal is applied can noise be heard?
A:
If the problem is noise, perform a vehicle inspection of the brake rotors and pads. If the pads are unevenly worn from side to side or inner to outer, replace the brake pads.
