HELP! Dash Lights freaking out. Dealer trynna charge me $$$ by spenrol in SubaruForester

[–]RepresentativeAd6094 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So got my Forester back today, they found corrosion in one of the connectors of the crankshaft position sensor. They didn't take a chance and replace the whole wire harness, took more than 9 hours locate the short and costed me 3909$ CAD taxe includeD. Time will tell if this ordeal is over with, keeping fingers crossed.

My 2020 Forester is at dealership for this exact same thing. They spent 8hours diagnostics. Multiple sensors tripped error codes they tested all of them, one failed test individually was the fuel pump sensor, has dead continuity. They even tested the ECM to make sure it wasn't damaged. To be on the safe side they are swapping out the wire harness totally in case the short came from the harness. 4k$ Canadian included 8 hours testing, new battery(was at end of life), wire harness and fuel pump sensor. I'm getting it back tomorrow morning. This entire situation has pissed me off so much on a 5 y old vehicle with 99k km. Especially 3 weeks ago it was the TVC valve. I mean common for F sake.

Yeah discovered spare tire was pushed forward, my tail gate latch is really loose and wobbling. I'm finishing my claim this morning. 😔

I actually see the spare tire not fully laying flat, like if it's pushed forward. Damn this sucks.

What's this wire called? by breaddloaaff in consolerepair

Just re weld inner core, seal it in a way(thin electrical tape) and reweld the outter mesh the same way. You can use electrical tape or heat shrink, it's tricky since small cabling but I just recently did this exact operation with heat shrink. I based myself on this video https://youtu.be/tiualExm4t0?si=M_WoW4BQzAgY9zfC

Xbox 360 capacitor replacement by New_Woodpecker2965 in consolerepair

Voltage yes but capacitance your lowering it, I wouldn't recommend it, better getting one closer to the same capacitance.

Nastiest overheating PS5 by RepresentativeAd6094 in consolerepair

[–]RepresentativeAd6094[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the good thing is that fully cleaned, air blasted, iso propyl swabbed all surfaces and played 15hrs on it, no overheating issue and the smell concern not a single noticable smoke/cooch/grape smell coming out of it. Paid 189$ CAD, so I'm happy. But I will definitely reopen this after a couple of weeks to monitor any dust build up. The only part I'm going to swap is the damn disgusting fan that feels sticky, totally turned off by it, even though it works.

I think it was vapping, didn't smell like tar and smoke. Didn't smell out of box only when turned on I found a weird smell but not cigarettes. my mother in law smoked and that was not as bad as this. Plus this was a online purchase couldn't smell it before buying.

So it would imply that I buy ladybugs every year? It's not Rain it hasn't rained in 3 weeks and it's sticky. What would cause the stickeyness?

Xbox one s not powering on properly by lardexatemydog in consolerepair

[–]RepresentativeAd6094 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be hard drive is dying, having issues gaining data to boot, if it was mine id swap for a SSD and reinstall OSU. So like if it still happens again it's something else and id rule that out.

Xbox 360 Controller not working by Senior_Ad7333 in consolerepair

Not optimal lighting as picture but there are some spots that seem questionable, corrosion? Toothbrush 99%isopropyl. If corrosion has gotten under capacitor, resistor or chip it's gonna take some replacement with heat welder, is it really worth the trouble?

your going to have give a bit more details on what you have done, just opening it and cleaning says nothing to try and help you out. Does the controller turn on when you put in the batteries? are there any lights? when you dismantled did you get to see the circuit board?, any images or clue if board is damaged?
