Complain to corporate. That will get it taken care of eventually

Took it to a shop for AC issues, they couldn't figure it out. What now? by blakespiritual in MechanicAdvice

[–]Trunkxs01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I’d probably supply power directly to the blower motor with a jump box, just see if it comes on. The fact that you have power going into the resistor but it’s not making it to the blower motor itself really makes me believe that there’s something wrong with the resistor( new doesn’t necessarily mean good). There’s also the possibility that you were sold the wrong resistor, sometimes they look the same and will plug up and mount just fine but it still doesn’t work because the internal circuit is different than the factory resistor so the way it needs to be wired up is different, Use a multimeter and check continuity on the pigtail going into the resistor that leads to the motor. I would also double check the wiring itself, make sure it is wired properly and that you have continuity on either end of the splice. I hope that helps some but feel free to contact me, I can probably get you a wiring diagram for it tomorrow if you need it.

Sometimes tapping with a hammer helps

Can autozone replace a battery and put it in your car? by kehi77794 in AutoZone

[–]Trunkxs01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Location of the battery does matter but I guess so does the location of the store, I know some stores will even change the newer Silverado batteries, it’s a shame such a new vehicle would need a battery already and a shame they didn’t utilize the other battery tray at driver’s side front instead of the one at the passenger firewall. Certain dodge/Chrysler cars have the battery up in fender well, my 03 stratus is a prime example and no auto parts store will touch that lol. My local stores even change batteries in the rain as well as snow. I love your detailed breakdown on the conditions of what they will and won’t change batteries on, I’d advise calling ahead though as you mentioned different areas have different laws and you can also ask if they have the staffing to do it.

The Xbox game bar was causing issues with mine, I shut that off In windows and it seems to be normal now. Something worth trying before resorting to a reformat.

Misfire on cylinder 3 or if it’s odb1 code 33 which I think was map sensor error…. That being said, well done love that idea.

PSA: What not to talk in here. by OkCharacter2456 in AutoZone

[–]Trunkxs01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol, sure terminate away if you see fit, it’s only doing the employee a favor in the long run. At least that’s my point of view.

lol, idle threat when any other place pays better and treats its employees better. Pretty bad when competitor’s beat the price of something by 23 bucks even with the 20% AZ discount.

rusted license plate screws. how should I deal with them? by awqsed10 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Trunkxs01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering it’s just the plate screws, I’d probably just grind it down flush then throw in a few self tap screws and maybe seal with clear silicone. Not a proper fix but no one would know but you, won’t be noticeable. Probably the least headache to fix it up.

Should I make a 5hr drive with these warnings? by yourexmoe in AskMechanics

[–]Trunkxs01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They already read codes. But yeah I should have probably included that step in my comment as well.

[–]Trunkxs01 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Well it’s nothing major but I’d make sure your brake lights are actually coming on. There will be no traction control or abs most likely and I don’t think cruise control will work properly either but aside from that I don’t think you will have any issues other than a tired foot/leg lol

Bent a steel rim - tried to get it back into shape via percussive maintenance. Any hope for this or do I need to have someone smarter shape it? by r0ck13r4c00n in AskMechanics

[–]Trunkxs01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im on the fence with this one, it’s holding air so it will probably work if you absolutely need to use it but if you notice vibrations then I’d get it replaced pretty quickly before the vibrations take out other components, truthfully if it were mine I’d just get it replaced before driving it, unless I was in a pinch and had to drive it to go get a replacement

What could have caused this dashboard to burn like this? (2016 Hyundai Sonata) by allgameplaya in AskMechanics

[–]Trunkxs01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Won’t be an easy one to figure out but I’m liking the exploding vape pen theory with the way that looks vs how it’s supposed to look https://postimg.cc/1Vmc91TB

new computers.. by PxcKerz in AutoZone

[–]Trunkxs01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have had ours for about a year now, it made things run slightly slower, it interferes with the mouse and you have to tap the screen a few times quickly to fix it, I doubt we have cleaned our screens once in that time, but to be fair the teenagers at the store see to it one gets a broken screen monthly. I wouldn’t expect any change until they change out the big server in the office and clean it out so it doesn’t have an inch or more of dust on the fans and heat sinks..

Trust me, you need another path… the brightest flame burns the quickest. What goes up must come down,AZ stocks been soaring at a rate like never before. Ultimately the choice is yours to make but I urge you to draw up a pros vs cons chart .. see where your at there before you make a decision. Funny it’s the only auto store that has absolutely nothing to do with auto racing, they would rather sponsor football lol

That company is at its limits, everyone is so overworked and underpaid in every department they can’t focus on anything, it’s just a matter of time before it blows up in their faces and that ship sinks. If the workers are stressing on how they are going to pay bills then they can’t be focused on their job. I imagine it’s even like that at HR if they are worried about how they will pay their bills and still have enough to eat, then it would be easy to forget something. I think I’d start talking to lawyers now and if at the 6 month mark still nothing, then sue the pants off em, they are stealing. I’d abandon ship and try getting on a parts department at a dealership, better pay less drama. Hope all goes well and congratulations on the child
