Hello, my friend’s Ford [Taurus](/topics-taurus/) 2007 wheels won’t rotate but no lights on dashboard indicating what it could be. Mechanic's Assistant: Have you checked the fuses? The dashboard bulbs? Yes the dashboard fuses have been checked but not fuses. Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Taurus yourself? What have you tried so far? I have not tried fixing it just kind off trying to see what could issue since we are not sure why tire wheels won’t rotate at all. Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? That is all I can think of at this moment. Thank you!

Hello, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I'm sorry to hear about problem. Ignore phone call prompt and there may be short delay between replies. Did you check every wheel?

all wheels are not rotating according to my friend Jay.

This would point toward [brakes](/topics-brake-ford/) being locked up. The master cylinder is the most likely cause of brakes locking up. Start by loosening bolts from master cylinder to brake booster to see if that helps if not then crack the brake bleeders open to see if that allows tires to move, if so I'd start by replacing master cylinder. Let me know how it goes or if you have more questions. Thanks. I'd expect around a $500 repair to replace master cylinder at a shop.

Ok, Thank you!

Van shut off while driving, now it won't start
The vehicle may have had a problem with a computer sensor like the crankshaft sensor (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-crankshaft-position-sensor) or camshaft sensor (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-camshaft-position-sensor) but normally they would have put a code into the computer.

My steering wheel is 3/4 off center after mounting new tires.
Hello, It is possible that one of the front tires that was installed has a manufacturer defect that is causing this issue. I would recommend having all tires checked (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/feathering-of-tire-inspection) for irregular patterns in the tread or large bubbles. If...
Question about acceleration improvement.
There are zero options to "improve" the acceleration of the vehicle very simply because if such "options" actually existed Toyota would have already implemented them on the assembly line. That is who wouldn't want better acceleration? Toyota selected and tuned...
Abs problem light on at the time of driving

2001 BMW 325Ci E46 3 series: turns over, no start, no spark, no communication on scanner. New battery was installed.
Hi there. Unfortunately, when the ECU is not connecting to the digital scanner, that's an indication of a failed ECU. This is only something that can be completed by a BMW certified repair facility, as they keep ECU programming pretty...
