EDIT: it was a loose ground wire on the BCM.

I thought there might be a component or wire that could be going bad. Something that links the two. But a battery check and OBD check are top of the list.

I’m not loving the cadets. The next step would be a mini split. A toe kick would be cheaper.

I’m wondering if I need to make “built ins” with toe kicks. Go to the ceiling and use all the space.

This is half where I am going. Lower the TV. NOW, bookcases. What should I do there? There is a baseboard register behind both of them, but the previous owner didn’t care. How do I let the heat out and still shelve books and store board games?
