And yes it was the thermostat plus some old wiring that needed to be changed out and a new thermostat installed. Now of course it is to be in the 50’s for the rest of the week and by the weekend in the 60’s until New Years Day or so – talk about going out the year warm a...
A breaker/fuse is nominally sized so that these current levels are not reached: the breaker, which typically has an element that gets warm when current runs through it, much like the thermostat in one's house, will trip first, opening the circuit and Saving The Day. The problem with this...
Thermostat Valve Failure: The thermostat valve ensures that the engine operates at optimal stability. If the thermostat valve fails, it can cause the engine temperature to overheat during driving, leading to the check engine light illuminating and flashing. Solution:Have the thermostat valve checked p...
Green wires connect the grounding terminal in an outlet box and run it to a ground bus bar in the electrical panel, giving current a place to escape to the ground in the event a live wire touches metal or another conductor. Green wires can only connect to other green wires but can still...
anyway. It's a 1998 Saab 9-3 with around 330 000 kms and no service history. Good summer tires on OEM alloy wheels as well. We bought it to participate in a cheap car endurance race next summer. It also has a small oil and coolant leak and apparently the thermostat is failing as ...
The drive to Green River was gorgeous, but the 90 degree weather that much of the West was feeling felt too hot to me after my time up North, and I endeavored to turn the thermostat down to a more desirable number. The answer? To the mountains of Colorado! Highway 70 is an especiall...
I also plugged the thermostat housing bypass hole with a pipe plug. Then I flipped the motor upside down and installed the oil pan Andy modified. Basically the angled part at the back of the sump is cut off and boxed in straight. We checked the capacity after doing this mod. Added 1.25...
My suspicions were confirmed when I analyzed the image data being sent to the LCD matching what was in the beginning of the SPI Flash. The data also looked like it was in a raw “RGB565” format, which is a method of packing a 16-bit pixel into two bytes of data; the term “565”...
It actually does two things. Gets you car up to operating temp faster, and is supposed to keep the temp there. My engine in my truck has a operating temp of 195 degrees. So, I have a 195 degree thermostat in it. Right now with the thermostat out….I am running about 165. Of ...
Tonight I ran and picked up a $25 programmable thermostat and wired it up. All wires. To try to replicate the problem Well I hook it up and no problems. My guess is the Nest is borked. Now on to try to prove that. In any event here is my test harness So now the question is...
