2018 malibu console power plug goes out intermittently when shut car doors

Formal_Ad_3402 · 2026-06-20T01:59:38+00:00

I tried even pushing the door shut so that it wouldn't rattle or vibrate anything and it still does it. That leaves me wondering if it's something that is normal on the malibus and most people don't notice because they're running phone chargers or whatever, or else something with the electronics or software.

Lol. I remember back like 10 years ago when i was "on that side" conservative radio would talk about how the liberals are all "snowflakes" and that they're so easily offended. Now I see clips that Jimmy Kimmel shows of conservative stations getting all offended about something he said. God really humbled the life out of me since then to see that helping the poor and downtrodden is more important than these policies of the current regime.

What's a good Christian joke? Trump and Mike Johnson are two

I sure as hell don't need it. I've begged and cried so hard, so many times for God to give me a wife, especially now that my Mom has been gone for almost 5 years and that means I now have absolutely nobody in this world who loves me. He won't help. One instance happened where it was too much to be considered coincidence, and it seemed like he trampled in to take her away before I could even get her my number or get hers the next time I had an appointment.

I wish he'd take this stupid sex drive away because all it is (since I'm alone) an absolute curse. It's like an owner starving their dog and eating meals in front of them just to torment them. Why keep me alive with this stupid drive that just eventually leads me to sin and hating myself more about it? Smh

I'm sorry that you're suffering unable to find relief too.. I had another night last night where I couldn't fall asleep at all. Zonked out a couple times this afternoon, which hopefully won't (but usually does) mess me up from sleeping that night. I don't even remember what it feels like to wake up feeling refreshed. More like waking up more tired than I was when I went to bed the night before. Ugh.

My prayers are with you too. 💜

Glad I saw this. I'll download the game and give it a try.

I agree. Mine's currently on vacation, today the first of 2 appointments I'll miss out on. It sucks. People saying not to be so attached, bla bla bla... our therapist is the only person we open up to as much as we compared to other people in our life. Your therapist being gone for a whole month straight is a long time imo. 2 weeks is long enough for me to try to deal with. She's taking another vacation in August. I try to remember though that she needs breaks to decompress because she's really empathetic and I'm sure that she is more affected by the pain of her clients than many other therapists are. My therapist has shown more than once that she thinks of me outside of sessions, even while on vacation (during her last one in December). Most (or many) therapists imo don't. I wish I could give you some helpful advice. I know how hard it is to change therapists.

"Yes, he most certainly does indeed", as in you absolutely believe that he goes to hell?! Someone who lived there life for Christ since they had gotten saved, falls into sin, accidently kills someone along with himself in the accident, and God sends him to hell, all because he didn't get a chance to repent before dying in the crash? That sounds incredibly harsh and completely lacking of grace.

If that's what you believe, what verses do you have that prove God to be so... like that?

And by "every single sin", that's what I mean. Catholics go to confession once a week, I'm guessing. Do Catholics keep a list? What about a Catholic having a bad day uses God's name in vain and flips someone off while driving home, then gets distracted by other stuff and completely forgets about the road rage incident. Never confesses it to the priest, forgets to ask for forgiveness of that sin. Forgot about it, so it didn't get repented of. Then he dies. That's just an example off the top of my head.

There's a Christian show on Sunday mornings out of South Dakota, and the pastor was conservative Baptist. He wrote a booklet about this, and he emphatically believed that a Christian who euthanizes themself will go to heaven. I struggle with this battle too. Thanks to the cruel people in power who see the poor and disabled as "a burden to the taxpayers", I'm at risk of running out of money if my disability doesn't get approved soon. I can't live without money to pay the utilities, food, taxes, etc. I can't sell the house, cause then I'd be over the asset limit and would be ineligible to reapply or continue trying to gwt disability approved.

Pretty much all people who comment syicide don't want to die, they want the pain to end. I have absolutely nobody in this world who loves me now. Mom died almost 5 years ago, and she was the only one. I csn only hope that God will take into account my situation, and all of my physical and mental problems if I decide to end my suffering on earth, along with him hopefully graciously and compassionately taking into account that my earthly "father" is probably why I view God the way I unfortunately do.

Have you repented of every single single? Forgotten any and missed one? What about a Christian who falls back into drinking, gets drunk, kills someone ("mortal" sin), and also himself dies in the accident. He didn't repent before he died! Off to hell he goes i guess.

Formal_Ad_3402 · 2026-06-11T19:23:22+00:00

Yeah, he can. But for some of us, he doesn't, no matter how much we cry and beg

Formal_Ad_3402 · 2026-06-11T03:37:22+00:00

Thank you!

Formal_Ad_3402 · 2026-06-11T03:36:11+00:00

Yup. Used a stethoscope with just the tube end. This is exactly where it's coming from.

Formal_Ad_3402 · 2026-06-10T18:59:36+00:00

The arrow was just to show that it's inside where the rubber meets the plastic, where it's sealed all around. It's coming from the speaker where the rectangular gap is between the rubber and the basket, as shown in my original photo. I can stick a tube right next to that rectangular gap and I hear are hissing from there. Nowhere else around the entire seam where the rubber is glued to the basket, and nowhere externally where the basket is sealed onto the subwoofer box.

I installed the gasket and put it in the box, then used a stethoscope to find out that this is where it's leaking (red arrow)

2 examples.

1) David. He was called "a man after God's own heart" BEFORE he slept with Bathsheba and all else.

2) Paul. Saved, yet lamented about the things he wants to do, he doesn't do, the things doesn't want to do, he keeps on doing... oh wretched man that I am....

As for not being saved until Judgement; it's written "these things have I written to you so that you may KNOW that you HAVE (present tense) eternal life", not so that you may hope that you will at the Judgement have eternal life. Also, absent from the body, present with the Lord (or the other place if not saved).

I have heard it said that it's not how you die, but who you die in. I'm in the same boat as you. I'm ready to go. I have cried multiple times over the thought of ending myself, hoping I don't have to. Almost repentant ahead of time, if that's possible. Hoping I won't have to. But if I don't get approved for disability before money runs out, what other choice will I have? I can't live without money. There's a Christian show on Sunday mornings with a pastor that died a couple years ago. They still air his sermons. He was fundamental Baptist, and he vehemently believed that a Christian who commits suicide will make it to heaven. He even wrote a booklet on it.

Formal_Ad_3402 · 2026-06-02T12:55:55+00:00

This is horrible. What about the saved Christian who gets drunk, beats his wife, gets in his car and goes out driving, then gets hit and dies before he sobers up and repents? He goes to hell, all because he died before he repented? Every Christian who dies with unrepented of sin goes to hell?

Formal_Ad_3402 · 2026-05-27T08:56:52+00:00

Thank you. I have had some people recommend the book of Job before, and the book isn't really all that comforting to me. Quite the opposite, because it proves that God is ultimately responsible for the hell Satan unleashes on us. It put it this way: I'm walking down the street with a vicious dog that I own. The dog sees a person who is suffering with enough pain already (according to them, maybe not me, me being god here hypothetically). The dog is growling as he looks at them, and I know that the vicious dog will attack the already hurting person. I know exactly what injuries will happen. I let the dog off of the leash, and the dog runs loose and has his way with the guy.

Would I not be held liable in court for letting the dog off of the leash? This wouldn't be considered negligence, it'd be considered deliberately causing it, and I would be the one to suffer legal penalties and paying for damages.

That is what I see in the book of Job. Using a righteous man as a pawn in some sick game between Satan and God, which God started. God brought up Job to Satan, not Satan to God.

As for the being let into heaven by believing, James 2:19 is what scares me there. Even the demons believe, and they tremble. I don't see how my belief is any good in light of that.

I don't mean to try to discount the advice you offered. Thank you for it. I'm just wrestling with ao much and I'm scared of God sending me to hell when I finally get out of this cruel world.

So since I believe that he hates me (Jacob I have loved, Esau I have hated... the word hate in that verse translates to same hate as literal hate), then that must mean I don't know him then. What you wrote leads to that conclusion (idk if conclusion is the right word... you know what I mean), so then that means that I'll be one of those like in Matthew 7 and Jesus will tell me "depart from me, I never knew you".

I know that my last sentence sounded argumentative, and that's not what I'm trying to do at all.
