Horn and fog lights relays keep going out

Fog lights relay keeps failing on average every 2-3 month.
Horn relay usually fails after 1 week.

There should be a short somewhere right?
I hope somebody can guide me in a right direction where to check.

1999 Daewoo Nubira
82000 miles

Thanks !

Thanks gse_turbo
I just got it realigned at some other place. Camber was actually negative. Front wheels were toed in pretty good thats why it was chewing outsides. Gonna see what it will do now. Maybe I'll still need it.

Too much positive camber

99 Nubira, 67'000 miles went through 4-5 sets of tires. Front wheels have to much positive camber and get worn out on the outside (both sides). I do allignment, rotation and balancing at Sears every 7-10 month and it still trashes tires. Just wondering is it a common problem with the type or they do...

All three mounts are dry and not craked.
My control arm bushings look pretty bad though, but I can't feel any play in them.

Hmmmm....thats what i suspected.
So I could just get in the car and let them align it.
I always drive alone. That might work.

Alignment with weights - do I really need the weights?

Firestone told me to go to the BMW dealer to get 99 Nubira aligned.
I went to Sears, they did the alignment but without the 75-kg weights on front seats.

Thouse weights are they that necessary? Would it work without them?

What do I ask for at the Autozone, they don't have the GM or Daewoo part number for it?

I can probably still return they gasket to the dealer and buy the kit for $25. :)

Dumped $100 for the tranny gasket at the dealer in Houston.
Will get the filter when I get home to Tulsa.
Then I'll take it to the Firestone do get it swaped.

Tranny filter change

Got 55'000 miles on 98 Nubira. Will be replacing leaky tranny pan gasket. Is it a really big deal if I leave the old tranny fluid filter in it? Now just got the new gasket. Apparently lots of my old fluid leaked out and it was reving up when temperatures were dropping to the freezing. Plus it was ma...
