Minor Win thread - Life is good!

Found the problem.

So you know how certain x.7l Chrysler trucks like to set O2 sensor faults when the power steering switches leak fluid, wicking into the PCM and then down into the oxygen sensor wires, contaminating the sensors?

It's like that, but washer fluid and a Ford body control module.

Washer fluid makes an absolute mess out of BCMs, their terminals, and the terminals in the relevant connector.

That will be a fun call for our service advisor to make.  "Your car won't shut off because you have a bad washer fluid pump.  And it took out a whole mess of other things."

Dryer repair guy has been putting the drum back on for over an hour. 

Why is this a win?

It's not me messing with the belt.

Soon as I realized the drum was going to need removed to replace the motor, I called someone in to handle it. Only had to learn that lesson the hard way once.

In reply to RevRico :

It was maybe a year or so ago that PW started having problems with the dryer. I'm not allowed to operate that equipment, just repair it. I saw the belt was toast, took it apart, priced a belt, thought about it for a minute, and gave her the good news.

You're getting a new dryer.

So much blood loss avoided.  What's inside those things that isn't lint or belt dust is razor sharp edges.

After more than a year, my wife found a new job. I swear between the posting of jobs that they were not really hiring anybody and those that told her she was overqualified she wasted a ton of time and energy. Plus, the hassle of everything she had to jump through just to get an interview with a real human. Amazingly, this one actually offered a competitive salary, full time, health insurance and paid time off. We're so grateful for the friend who told us about it.

After 31 days, I'm down 15 pounds. By volume, that's two gallons of fat. That includes a total lack of discipline over Thanksgiving and subsequent recovery from that little mistake.

And the roof leak repair seems to have held.

My long driveway is hard on end links. It was getting a little clunky in the front end, and I figured I'd best do  control arms while I had it up in the air. I had no idea just how bad they were, those ball joints were toast.

Two control arms, two sway bar end links, the right parts the first time, two days shipping, and $100 saved with Rock auto. My car drives like new

Too few jobs go this well
