First make sure you are in the correct section that you want your thread to be in. This is very important to reach the people who know about that section and watch that section and will be the best to help you with your problem. If you are not sure go with your vehicles generation section cant go wrong there.
1st Gen 1997-2002
2nd Gen 2003-2006
3rd Gen 2007-2017
4th Gen 2018-present
After you are in the right section go to top right of page and click POST THREAD.

Put year, trim and engine of your vehicle in post or have it in your signature.

Name of the thread is important. Put year of your vehicle and what is wrong or what you are asking about. here are some examples,
07 door ajar light stays on
05 sparkplug changing
14 towing upgrade
02 no defrost heat
06 audio upgrade
16 tow mirror suggestions

what not to name your thread
I need help
something is wrong
does this happen to you
what brand do you use
how do I change this

The correct title will entice someone who knows about your inquiry/problem to click on your thread and read and eventually post some help/information for you. Also this info is not just for you it will help anyone looking up the same thing on the internet. Browser search engines pick up your thread so many others can benefit from your proper posting etiquette. So be sure to tag properly

In the first post describe the problem, any and all symptoms codes ect, any diagnosis you have already done. (because someone will ask and you will be typing it in anyway) Pictures and/or video are a very helpful. Also any test you have done and the results of the testing go a long way into a quick resolution for you.
