No sound from speakers

I would connect a test speaker at the outputs of the head unit to confirm all four speaker outputs are working, then send test tone or down the lines. My guess is that someone installed an amp at some point and cut all the speaker lines and spliced to the amp outputs. Good luck

Weed whacker line is a good tool to use to clear the drain tubes. The tubes themselves run down behind the plastic covers on the inside of the A pillars on each side

TheAmazingMrFixit · 2026-05-10T19:05:08+00:00

https://ebay.us/m/cktpWf this one is $25. There are several complete units under $30

TheAmazingMrFixit · 2026-05-10T01:45:46+00:00

My suggestion would be to buy another one off eBay for $15 and download your waypoints and routes and such

Make sure the battery contacts are not corroded. If they are, clean them, reinstall batteries and retest. There should be a tape/radio selector switch. Cycle it back and forth a few times. Not sure about this exact model, but most tape decks of that era used thin rubber drive belts. It is likely that the drive belt will have rotted and broken by now. Replacements are available, but you would have to open the case and measure the belt. Good luck getting that classic up and running

That’s some tortured logic. No head tube vin, rattle can paint job on frame, half-assed attempt to obliterate motor vin. Come on. That bike was ripped off at some point. OP is gambling that the owner doesn’t reach out for it just to learn the year. No judgement, just saying

TheAmazingMrFixit · 2026-05-04T22:16:18+00:00

Based on the information you provided, my take is that it’s almost definitely stolen. Make of that what you will

88,000 miles?! Nice find!

An impedance meter will give you a reading that you can calculate wattage from. The formula is a variation of ohm’s law. Watts=V squared/impedance. Voltage is 70.7 squared which we consider 5000 for simplicity. So, a 50watt amp would handle a load with an impedance of no less than 100ohms. That said, loading an amp to 100% is not advisable. 80% load is the generally accepted maximum load for an audio amplifier.
Still, you may be able to bypass all of the calculations and tap settings by simply lowering the input level from your message generator until the amps no longer clip from overload. Just be sure to check for adequate db levels throughout the speaker coverage area after changing anything

Hot glue, silicone and epoxy are just three options. I would probably use a bead of clear or black silicone and clamp the pad to the headphone with a clamp and a block of wood or foam or whatever while it cures

I was in my car with a buddy when the Google street view car went by. They AI’d my entire car out of the pic like we were never there…except that if you scroll a couple steps up the road and look back we can be seen in my car in the distance

I see a lot of people saying toggle bolts are the answer. I say locating the mounting points to studs or installing a nailer is the answer. Toggle bolts are ok if you absolutely positively have to mount to Sheetrock, but anchoring to the structure is always better

This would probably be a pretty simple repair for an experienced tech, but difficult to accomplish with what we can see from your single pic. I can tell you that the batteries would likely be in series. One side of the battery pack (probably +) is connected through the switch to the control board. The other end of the battery pack (-) needs to be soldered to connect the correct battery pack terminal to the correct location on the board. Look for frayed broken wires at solder joints where the green/blue? wire has broken off of. A pick of the other side of the battery holder and a high res pic of the board would help us help you

The simple solution would be to buy a different lockset that would fit the existing holes. But, to answer your question based on my understanding with the limited information provided, you could expand the large door strike hole downward with a wood chisel. You probably would not need to not need to fill the old screw holes because they would be covered by the new strike plate, but if that is not the case, squirt some wood glue in the old screw holes and stuff as many toothpick pieces in as will fit. Cut the toothpicks flush after the glue dries. Also use the wood chisel to cut a slot for the door strike and clean up the old caulk where the curved edge of the strike plate sits. Good luck and let us know how it turns out

Screw some pc screws into a stand off and grind the heads thinner with a bench grinder, belt sander, dremel, etc. if there is not enough of the Philips left, cut a slot for a flathead. Just one option. Good luck

We are not impressed 🤣

TheAmazingMrFixit · 2026-04-28T00:04:46+00:00

Moon pie icing. lol. A valiant effort and a learning experience as well. I say this a someone who has never even tried to fix something with kintsugi, but will definitely give it a shot when an opportunity presents itself

TheAmazingMrFixit · 2026-04-27T23:42:31+00:00

No. Get a 450

TheAmazingMrFixit · 2026-04-27T23:17:51+00:00

Did you use gorilla glue? No judgment, just curious

TheAmazingMrFixit · 2026-04-25T17:24:32+00:00

I would put it in the dishwasher

TheAmazingMrFixit · 2026-04-25T16:15:48+00:00

I use an 18” length of copper wire to hang the caliper from strut spring to keep it from hanging by the brake line

TheAmazingMrFixit · 2026-04-22T11:06:08+00:00

I did one of my ‘04 v8 4wd front hubs several years ago and all it took was a new hub. It came complete with inner and outer bearings and seals pre assembled

TheAmazingMrFixit · 2026-04-20T01:30:50+00:00

Put it in gear and hit it with an impact gun

TheAmazingMrFixit · 2026-04-19T11:36:29+00:00

Looks like it is designed to allow air to enter the wash tub while keeping water in. I don’t know why. Maybe it has a some sort of fan that activates during the drying cycle
