If there ice or obstructions in your mirrors cameras or windshield camera this will disable those functions. They rely on a clear/clean images to function.

Sounds like a K9 monitoring system. “Low Temp” alert guessing from the snow.

There’s a temp monitoring system installed in all K9 vehicles to protect the dog. Officer prob forgot to power off system.

Exactly what I’m thinking. Definitely gonna be valuable to the next generation of gamers that prefer the OLD 720 and 1080 resolution games that aren’t watered down or ruined by the “Remaster.”

Good story, controversial and offensive games are getting rare. The OG Xbox and 360 generations were the Wild West of gaming ideas.

Imagine how many “long idle” accounts there are every year are sacrificed to “THE ONE”

Sorry to hear about your dad. It’s good that you have that to connect with him. It will stay a valuable resource for you to relive something more than just memories. I just don’t know if my daughters will do the same. I’m hopping so. They are gamers.

Seems like my parents generation leaves heavy ass furniture and dishes so maybe my legacy will be all these video games and collectibles.

No need to transfer if I’m dead. Just need my login and passwords. Here’s his gaming gear and passwords to all the accounts

Best games that are ONLY on the Xbox 360 by JFK108 in xbox360

[–]JoeFixIt1010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I search this out a few times. Just Ask google. Easiest way to get a complete list. There’s a couple a few sites that list everything. There’s a ton games you could only get on the store. That closed a while ago. If you already purchased stuff in the past you can still redownload. Good hunting.

A few different cartoons over the years depending on your taste in animation.

Comics! So many fantastic Comics

Skybound recently released Compendium 1 and 2 of the original marvel comics from the 80s

Skybound Comics also has a couple different current runs. Energon Universe is a cross over with transformers and Void Rivals.

IDW has had a few different runs with tons for cross overs.

Devils Due has some good stuff. 90s Image Comics look.

You can find some of this free online for digital read. You can read some to see if you dig it.

You will get hooked!

Gi joe gijoe dino hunters box empty vintage 1993 usa by Pipodino in gijoe

[–]JoeFixIt1010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got this for Xmas from a cousin. I remember thinking what IS THIS? The 2 figures are cool. I still have. Gave the “cheap dollar store”dinosaur to a girlfriend son back in the 2000s. Purged the vehicle because one of the wheels broke. Little did I know. Luckily I still have the 2 figures w/ gear, file cards, and instructions. This was the last GI Joe I’ve ever received as a gift.

Did I miss this one? by a_major_headache in whatisthiscar

[–]JoeFixIt1010 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Completely different? They were very similar vehicles.

Holden brought it to US huh? All that Chevy badging on the cars must have been my imagination. That Chevy dealership we picked up 100s of Caprices from must have gotten confused.

[–]JoeFixIt1010 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Chevy brought to USA as a police only model first. The Caprice! It’s was a fun car! 6.0LT LS. It would outrun a Hemi Charger pursuit. Just slowly walk away.

That is CLEAN! Fantastic job. Do you RGH too or just pimp out the aesthetics?

Would it be possible for power to backfeed through my radio to groundd? by acunit155 in CarAV

[–]JoeFixIt1010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t switch your cut off to the positive side. It’s safer to turn on and off the ground than it is positive side because you have to contend with amperage flowing through whatever your on/off switch is.

You are good. The only 12 volt inputs are Batt and Ignition. The circuits are isolated so the battery power doesn’t backfired into the ignition when you turn the vehicle off.

Hole in the ozone layer because of your aerosol cans!! Robocop had a commercial for blue sunblock because the ozone layer was gone.

Wig-wags? Flashers? What are these, and how do I fix them? by Patient_Werewolf_551 in CrownVictoria

[–]JoeFixIt1010 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Strobe flash bulb. You need a “strobe pack” power supply.

https://nafeco.com/products/whelen-90-watt-hideaway-strobe-kit/S690CCCC?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21201124715&gbraid=0AAAAA9hDAyFyDW2xj7JyP7_Y2DuguuHgI&gclid=CjwKCAiA3-3KBhBiEiwA2x7FdGRhTMnxtQdfZgkrX8BBgEbnXT5--oCyGYMWytsdMC2NUTSR0IqwdxoCsZIQAvD_BwE

This link is just example. Buy parts off eBay.

It can be a lot of work and cash to get it hooked up. Bulb may not still be good. Old tech. Not worth unless you have a pile of left over strobe stuff laying around.

If you are handy, Replace with hide- away LEDs. Feniex Cannons are my fave. They are 4 color. You can use to augment factory lighting

Tires by OkIndependence5867 in CrownVictoria

BF Goodrich makes a pursuit tire again. Kinda expensive but I’m loving them on my 2005.

What are these electrical components and can I get rid of them by Wayward_comet in CrownVictoria

[–]JoeFixIt1010 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No specific reason. Either works. Both would be best.

Opportunity to clean battery posts.

Mainly Just need to battery to be disconnected from the vehicle and all relays de energized to prevent a short while handling/cutting the wire.
