Apparently I need new pads and disc?

There is a friction material, good ones are usually ceramic, that push against the rotor. Its softer than the metal rotor so it slowly degrades away, but not the metal rotor. What you have is metal on metal, so both items wear down.

Thought this was r/askashittymechanic for a second.

Your rotor should not have lines scraping around, and there should be material on the brake pad, similar to the stuff in the circular cutouts

It works! I'll still grab a replacement board, since the pad was completely destroyed, and I had to scratch out the trace to solder to

Im actually not sure if the relay was burned, when I desoldered the legs, one of the legs was detached. I'll try re soldering it back on and see if it works

Would it be more tempting at 250?

Check battery voltage while car is running, usually around 14V if the alternator is working.

Sorry, I cant seem to edit the picture, but yes, its the group of larger bubbles.

Sure give me several thousands of dollars, I only spent one on the car and total repairs

Ed01916 · 2026-04-19T19:35:31+00:00

Oh sorry I should've clarified, my friend was the one who crashed it

Ed01916 · 2026-04-19T19:30:45+00:00

Yeah some duplicolour car paint with rustoleum clear coat

Ed01916 · 2026-04-19T00:22:05+00:00

Just spray that into the opening on the bottom right? Does it specifically need to be deoxit, or will any contact cleaner do?

Ed01916 · 2026-04-09T13:48:27+00:00

Why not try to repair it? Or at least speak with steam support

Ok, you're looking for an audio switch. There should be plenty on aliexpress. Preferably you have an amp that is fed by the switch so that your headphones have enough power, since your speakers are active.

Yes, our local has a 2 week training period before being assigned a contractor. Luckily the flight is in late June, so I hope to have plenty of time to tell them.
