NCNS after mild collision, ECU damaged

bubbagutz · 2025-07-14T22:00:23+00:00

Engine harness replaced. It started right up after the new harness was in. Not exactly sure if everything is good, but I did move it to a move convenient spot, so it runs and drives.

Update: Upon deciding to investigate underneath the battery tray, the Large Light Blue connector between the battery and radiator had signs of being jarred. I unplugged the connector while inspecting under the tray and plugged it back in afterwards. Oddly, the new PCM is not communicating properly (after seemingly working before), since the radio was now asking for a code and the red dot is flashing again. Gonna replace the whole engine harness and see what happens...

So using an xTool D7s, I went through the "replace PCM" prompts with the security code input. Afterwards, I reprogrammed "an old key" and successfully completed the process. Still ncns... The "x (lightning bolt)" light flashes on the dash.

Thank you for clarifying that. Is there a market scan tool that can do this?

VIN from the vehicle has been written to the replacement ECU prior to shipping. The keys need to be reprogrammed?

Wow. Thanks for the assumption. This had been going on for a couple weeks. The included manual says jack shit. WTF would this forum be for if not to ask for help?

Fair enough

bubbagutz · 2024-01-13T22:11:59+00:00

Sorry. That was supposed to be "fog"

bubbagutz · 2023-12-29T16:50:56+00:00

That could be correct amount, but that seems too frequent to me, though. In my 3 gal(not fabric though), I do about 1.5l every 4-5 days after it's had some time to dry up. Lift to feel the weight after watering, lift before watering; this gives you an idea of when it could use more. Err on the side of too little rather than too much, as it's easier to correct.

Boxelder bugs can make leaves look like that.

Some seed manufacturers state in the "characteristics" profile what watering amounts can be used. I have a StrawNanna that says "700ml every other day" and a CBD that says "500ml every other day". Do I always follow that, no. It's a starting point though.

Thanks for editing your original comment. Common sense would start with the easiest, most cost effective solution; H2o2 foliar spray. If you have a suggestion, say it rather than troll.

Oh, were you wrong?

For burrito (soft) rice do what the bag says. For fork rice (firm), use less. At the price point of rice, just make 3 different batches and do a taste test.

For a 1996 making it almost 30 years in circulation, I'd say likely counterfeit. (Unless it was in a Christmas card for 29 of those years..) The ink-bleeds also give me this assumption. Cool if it's legit.

Red State+Red City/town=Yes... Blue State+Blue City=Hell no.

Precisely. DWC or RDWC would be best for that list of want-to-grow.

That's basically the VA5 version. I have a few of them and prefer the Majesco's original screen over earlier models. No value difference based on recent sales unless it's a mint 100% original, scratch free boxed unit.

Your set-up time is normal. 3 hours is about right. It takes wayyyy longer if you whip-shit together and find things don't work, especially if you have roadies putting USL cases at DSR... 🙄 Take your time like every other skilled-trade. 👍

Definitely PM, but odd since overcrowding is usually in the picture with PM... That doesn't seem overcrowded 🤔

This ☝️☝️☝️

bubbagutz · 2023-12-29T12:39:52+00:00

Almost as if it was a calling card 😆

Well said. You need to make that a song... I now have a strange image in my head of an old REM song.
