    What do you think about this electrical work?

    White wire under the duct is really shoddy I would demand a redo on that. Around the pipe looks like just an excess loop, but again really shoddy. Inside the breaker box looks OK. You actually want a bunch more slack inside a breaker box in case it is ever necessary to relocate a breaker or...

    Arrests made in largest jewelry heist in U.S. history

    I assume the jewelry dealers have refused to take payment for the declared value, since that would mean Brinks would then own any of the loot that might be recovered. Those guys are millionaire businessmen. They know exactly what they are doing.

    Arrests made in largest jewelry heist in U.S. history

    It would be interesting to see the insured's legal theory that the insurer should pay them more than the value that was declared when obtaining the insurance.

    Schematic for boat bow thruster

    Their diagrams at https://vetus.com/wp-content/uploads/020575.03-r01-2023-07-Wiring-diagrams-BPAJ-BPAS-BPJRC-BPSRC.pdf are **just plain wrong**. It can't work as drawn. The other side of the main solenoid needs to return to battery minus, not battery plus. If you don't have a main solenoid...

    2019 Malibu, something wrong with suspension.

    Need to at least jack up that corner and take the wheel off (like for a tire change) to see most things.

    Schematic for boat bow thruster

    That looks like a completely different system where the motor only runs one direction. To push the boat backwards the thruster would rotate 180 degrees. Also it is not clear from the diagram how the control circuit returns to battery minus.

    2002 Nissan Sentra GXE brake lights/side markers stay on, when car is off.......

    On the back of the car, is it the stop/tail bulb or the turn bulb that stays on? This can be hard to tell since they are both red. The system is real simple-- just fuses and switches control the lights, no computer involved. Except that there is a relay where the BCM can make all 4 turn bulbs...

    Air India Flight AI171 (Boeing 787-8) Crash

    If both engines were out, one of the witnesses, especially the surviving passenger who was listening to things, would have noticed that. Also an engine not running properly usually emits smoke or flames that would have been visible on the videos. Does the RAT make a bang noise audible in the...

    Pressure washer dumpster find

    A few machines have thermal valves which let the hot water blow out if it runs in bypass too long.

    Air India Flight AI171 (Boeing 787-8) Crash

    It's the first row in economy class, window seat on the left side. It has the over-wing emergency door with extra legroom for the aisle to the door. Being next to a door is usually a good thing, but this is a Boeing and you could just as easily be the only one to die if the door pops open...

    Low speed steel rim center failure / separation (how / why?)

    Fatigue cracking? Were all the lug nuts on and tight?

    Automotive AC troubleshooting 101 - help me get started?

    That o ring was cut during installation. Make sure to lubricate the o ring and it should be possible to push the fitting in by hand, then install the bolt. Don't force it together with the bolt.

    School me on a/c cutoff switches vs low pressure only switch

    You're probably using the wrong switch. The one for variable compressors cuts of at 10, because the compressor itself stops pumping around 25. The switch is only there to prevent running after a leak-out with zero pressure. You don't want that one with a fixed-displacement compressor. The...

    Total Wireless and Verizon FIOS Bundle Discount. Downsides?

    Total is not a bad deal if you have 4 lines. If you only have one or two then you should use Visible or consider a third party.

    2020 F150 won’t shift from park

    OP probably smart enough not to want to drive the truck like it is since the brake lights don't work either, and that's really dangerous on the road.

    2020 F150 won’t shift from park

    You have power coming out of the BCM on the brown/red wire? The schematic shows fuse 14 connected directly to pin 17 and the brown/red wire. If that circuit is open the BCM must be faulty. And if water got in there are probably other things wrong with it as well. If there is power from the...

    Is this a clutch on a Toro Timemaster?

    Find a pipe or socket that the shaft just fits into and use it to support the inner race of the top bearing. Force on the inner of the bottom bearing will be transferred by the spacer to the top and then to your support.

    2020 F150 won’t shift from park

    Yes if you have power at both ends of fuse 14 but not at the brown/red wire at the brake pedal switch, there must be a break in the circuit. It should be a direct connection. The BCM controls both the brake lights and the shift out of park interlock. When the pedal is pressed, the...

    Is this a clutch on a Toro Timemaster?

    It looks like this assembly depends on the top nut being fully tight and the spacer not being broken (as happened in the machine in the video on your other thread) to hold everything together. Usually the shaft is precision ground so it is an interference fit in the bearing but that doesn't...

    Is this a clutch on a Toro Timemaster?

    That happened because the shaft started to spin inside the bearing now it is ruined you need a new shaft.
