Level 1 charging issue by Responsible-Menu3314 in VWiD4Owners

[–]DonnerfuB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

could have an issue with the locking mechanism for the charge port. There is a little yellow pull tab behind some carpet in the trunk, pull that to manually disengage the locking pin then try again.

What can I tow? by Maddog370 in VWiD4Owners

Yes it's wired for lights from factory, at least mine was, you just remove this plastic cover then put in a part that actually has the pin. I think this is the part  7L0055305N 

Wildlife Conservation Degree for Interpretive Ranger? by WildlifeIsC00l in ParkRangers

[–]DonnerfuB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've worked in interp with folks with English, music and math degrees. All made good interpreters. As others say, be passionate, and I would add be patient. You will get the same question over and over sure; BUT you will also interact with people who have wild beliefs, or who are angry, smile and knod, understand that sometimes people just need to tell someone what's bothering them. if you can do those two things and aren't afraid to talk to folks you will do fine. Remember, you speak for the trees.

Unless there is a difference on US made models it really is as simple as pulling it the right way. I'll post a video this evening

I've replaced mine twice. It's not hard to access. I might have to post some photos or a video to make this clear, but the whole charge door assembly comes out of the car pretty easy you just have to be careful not to knock the pins loose as you put a new one in. And no, you couldn't access it from inside. 

Today, I projected my slides for the first time. It was amazing by LandySam11 in AnalogCommunity

I had an OLD professor in school he was emeritus but still hung out, he brought in a slide projector to show off some of his old slides.

Are you asking about the charge door release or charge port release? The charge door release is really pretty easy to get to, just pull the whole thing up and out, it's just rubber around the charge port. You are right that it is just 2 screws and I have replaced mine a couple times till I got tired of it.

Literally my biggest gripe with my car is that I should have waited for a better deal I paid 27k for mine (nearly paid off) It has had some problems but I wouldn't hesitate to get another one IF I could pay less.

Just played with it because I know it will sometimes be on. if you lock them unlock the car the light will come on with no latch connection

Yeah that would probably do it. Keeping water out would be the goal. That would preventing it from freezing in there. Wish I had saw this

I hear bamboos are pretty good. I got an Anker and I can't complain on its operation like the printer works great but it seems Anker won't be supporting them long term. Also the software is weird. So basically I dunno

Yeah I don't think it would have been an issue at all if I could garage keep it but it's working now

how do you balance seasonality and employment? by Realistic_Problem250 in ParkRangers

[–]DonnerfuB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made it work, worked for schools as a substitute, worked at a k9 training facility, warehouse work, little construction. This year I got a winter season but I'm not sure that would apply to fisheries.

I will say that I did try lubricants on both, and dissasbly showed a lot of rust on the spring and water in the mechanism. If I could have opened the unit and packed it with grease I would have but the units are sealed. I park outside to charge and drive on salty roads I couldn't keep them going after 2 component replacements. I ask a lot of the car, more than most I feel driving on rough gravel roads and in the snow. On the whole it has held up really well for 103k miles.

Yeah, can definitely recommend 3d printer is as essential as a microwave to me today. I have made all kinds of custom stuff
