It doesn't matter on the orientation, it is the attraction of the magnet to pull the contact and complete the circuit that matters.

How do you adjust the top of a 95 LeBaron conv to move it forward so the latch pins line up with the holes in the windshield?
It probably is lined up, but can be very difficult. What you have to do is this: 1. Pull it forward as far as you can. 2. Reach up to the roof at the highest point and pull down, while 3. Pushing forward by the latch. 4. Get one side in but don't lock it in, then repeat steps 1-2 on the other side. 5. Once both latches are in, then lock them. 6. Believe me, this may seem hard, but it needs to be a tight fit. There are some Allen screws that can be loosened to adjust the locks, but think hard before you try... No good deed ever goes unpunished! :)
How can you figure out the combination to an old lock by looking at the position of the tumblers?
Look @ the position of the dial when the tumblers lie up. The use this formula. Consider the dial as the face of a clock. Say the dial is in the 37 minute position. Multiply 37x pi {3.14) add 13 then divide by 3. Voila, Now you have the combination! Or, use a grinder and grind the lock off. It's a little easier
What is the problem with a 2001 Alero when the trunk unlocks itself sometimes?
If the trunk lid is operated electrically, check for a short in the wiring. Whether it's electric or not, check the latch; it may need some adjustment. This happened to me...I just checked the battery cables, one was loose. Tightened them both, no more problems!

How do you open the hood on a 94 geo with a broken hood latch cable?
If it is just the inside handle broken off you can pull the cable with a pair of pliers. If it is in the middle, you should be able to reach up from underneath and cut the cable and then pull the inside cable. If the latch end has pulled off, you may be able to trip the latch from underneath, or take the grill out and unbolt the latch.

How do you repair a hood latch on a 1989 Olds 98?
Often with wear and time, the big spring in the front of the hood will get too compressed to force the hood open when the latch is pulled inside the car. Expand the hood spring by pulling on it or take it off and expand it.

How can you repair the front driver's side door when the latch does not catch?
Read on another site, to simply lubricate the latch excessively with WD40 and then continue to open and close door handle until the latch releases and catches. I just tried this minutes ago with my Pontiac sunfire and sat in my car held the door closed and pulled the open & close door handle in and out until the latch caught. It worked great !! Now the door latch catchs without a problem. Apparently, some latchs just need to be lubricated quite often. Hope this helps. Added: WD40 is NOT a lubricant. You can use it to clean out the latch, but then have to put a lubricant after drying.

I have Cell phone case for a Motorola razr and the cell phone case has a magnet on the latch will the magnet damage my cell phone?
A magnetic clasp on a cell phone case should not be a problem for the phone. The phone doesn't contain anything that is sensitive to magnets. While it is true that very strong magnets can disrupt electronic devices, the magnet on a case clasp is much too weak to cause problems.
Hood latch cable broke on your 2001 Dodge Dakota How can you open the hood?
take a long thin screwdriver and stick it into the "hole" where the cable goes into the latch. Pry from right to left, this will pop the hood. I just had it happen to my 2000 Dakota.
How do you open the hood on a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe if your hood latch cable is broken?
Lots of lube and a little weight. I had the problem on my 2001 Santa Fe. I sprayed the latch with both penetrating oil and WD 40. If you look up and from the side of the grill logo, you can see the bar on the hood that the latch hooks onto. Angle the straw up at this site and you can soak where the latch is even if you cannot see it. Wait a time for the lube to soak in. Make sure the cable is pulled from the inside. if it is like mine, it pulled and did not spring back, this is the root of the problem. I turned around and sat on the hood just over the latch. I bounced a few times and on about the third bounce the hood popped up (then I promptly sat back down and closed it again, but it reopened). Once you get it open, lube and clean thoroughly. I removed the plastic cover (five plastic fastiners) and used a cleaner to get the dirty grease out, then lubed it with WD40 and white lithium grease. Work the latch several times to help clean and lube. The trick is to not let it happen again. Make sure you keep this latch and all your door and gate latches cleaned and lubed (the tailgate had the same problem). I now lube them every time I wash my car and more often in winter.
