1st thing is I went to change my break light and can't get the bulb in. It's definately the right bulb (2057), the one you push in and turn so the little knobs get in place. for some reason i cant get the bulb to turn and can't see anything blocking it from turning!! there was rust from the old bulb, but it all pretty much fell out.
2nd is my hood won't open. I went to check my oil and it won't pop from the inside, it was fine 4 days ago. IS this a hard thing to fix? Im guessing the wiring messed up somehow... which it may sound stupid but could I have done something to the hood while messing and pulling on the back brake wires? (just cause it seems to have happened at the same time)
3.. is there anything i can do myself to get my windshield washer fluid to squirt on my front windows, the back fluid comes out just fine, but i can't get the front going.
4. I always thought I need my reserve coolant tank at max when my car engine is cold. Is it okay if its not? what could happen?

The auto parts store is a wealth of information.
How long are planing to keep it. Do the door hinges sage see if the door pushes up when you close it. The last miles of a car are very expensive dollars per miles You got to look real close. Its a trusted friend and hard to part with. Find a new mechanic. Angel list may have listed for your area try to Google it.
1 Replace the light socket you maybe able to buy the medal insert with 1 wire witch is the hot
2Play with the cable pull it open push it closed try pushing down on the hood.
3There are 2 tanks for the washer Don't run the front one you will burn out the motor with no fluid. There is a one way value that may need to be replaced or put in so the the motor doesn't work so hard. A local auto parts store sells tubing and after 17 years needs replacement
4The engine should be hot when you fill it to max or it could over flow in the street It tastes sweet to animals and will kill them

Get a friend to replace the bulb for you, a little hand technique may do the job if you are using the correct bulb. The hood cable return spring may have come off. Try pushing the cable handle to check if you can open the hood, if not you will need your neighborhood mechanic to check it. The windshield washer line can get clogged with dirt or foreign material, check the jets if OK, use a pin to clear blockages. Look at the lines, it may have loosened to push it tight to its plastic linkage. If your coolant level is below the %26quot;LOW%26quot; level, time to top up. However if you are below %26quot;FULL%26quot;, you should be alright. Lack of coolant can make your car overheat and can be expensive so check the level all the time.
about the bulb! the socket is probably corroded. what you probably have to do is clean the socket, put some wd-40 in the socket and see if it loosens it up. about the hood! maybe the hood release is broke. get under the front of the car, take a long screwdriver and reach up to the hood latch and see if you can pop the hood. number 3. take a small, tiny piece of wire and clean out the squirter. if your talking about the resovoir for the coolant then when it,s cold fill it between the add and full mark and when it gets hot it will show full.
