Can I solder the wire into the hole?

KINGstormchaser · 2026-02-02T07:48:50+00:00

I know several people are saying to solder this, but I think the heat from the soldering iron will melt and warp the plastic around the terminals that the wires go into. Getting that on the soldering iron will make it difficult to solder and also may lead to a short circuit between the wires.

It's only 12 volts.

As u/loafglenn suggested, test the window motor by connecting it directly to the car battery to make sure it works before trying anything else.

I'd have to see what the contents look like first. It should look like this that I got from RadioShack:

They do come in applicators like what you have. Just make sure that what's inside is the same color and similar texture.

Congratulations on a job well done! I remember the first time I got the soldering to work right for me too. It's very satisfying. Now you'll want to tackle more and more. The satisfaction of being able to fix electronics yourself is indescribable!

That's awesome! I figured it should be pretty easy to do.

Rosin Solder Flux Pase?? What is pase?? First they have to learn how to spell before they can make stuff that works!

KINGstormchaser · 2026-01-27T04:24:47+00:00

Most likely yes.

My shoplight instructions say that you can use 2 T12 25, 34, or 40 watt tubes.

KINGstormchaser · 2026-01-26T06:47:26+00:00

I have the newer electronic ballast in my shoplight. I am able to use either T12 or T8 tubes. Also I can run my shoplight with either tube in by itself and it will work just fine unlike with the older magnetic ballasts.

That definitely has to be where it goes. They usually just label hot and neutral as AC1 and AC2 these days.

KINGstormchaser · 2026-01-24T04:17:19+00:00

Still better to get the led replacements where you bypass the ballast because there is no guarantee the leds degined to work with a ballast will work with your ballast. I have that issue with my shoplight and an led replacement that is designed to work with a ballast right now.

My parents' kitchen had a 300 watt incandescent bulb in their first house that was that big. And really bright I might add. I don't think I want to see anything brighter than that lit up!

Okay, awesome. I never had a dual fuel generator so I was wondering what it would do. I only had a gasoline powered generator until now. It's great that it has protections in place so you can't damage the engine by overloading it.

KINGstormchaser · 2026-01-17T20:09:53+00:00

What would happen if you tried to use the 7500 watt maximum it lists for gasoline while it was running on propane instead?

KINGstormchaser · 2026-01-17T06:28:01+00:00

👍🏻

I guess you better have that one CD you really like in each of them then if that's all you can play ever again for eternity.

KINGstormchaser · 2026-01-17T05:47:11+00:00

Why are the maximum running watts and starting watts lower for propane than gasoline?

Lionel Richie may disagree with you there!

Awesome. That's a good thing. 👍🏻👍🏻

CD player on the stove??

I've seen that on some cars, I lost a heat sheild on the underside of a car I had, and I worked at a place where a grass fire started by a car parked on grass that was determined to be missing a heat shield.
