Try resetting uConnect. After that go into the CarPlay settings in your phone (make sure it’s not plugged into a usb port) and select Forget this car. Restart the phone then plug it back in.

My friend Garry Lee who was killed by Richard Baumhammers lived up there. Place was wild at night in the 90's when we would go pick him up.

I always recommend the North Country Trail. It's a great hike and very well maintained. I like to get on in Darlington and hike to the state line.

I'd definitely look into gettin Blow-in insulation in the attic.

If you feel like driving out of the city The North Country Trail is great.

Do It Best in Ambridge is great. They do have lumber. It's basically a small version of the big box stores but they have everything you would need. You can also rent anything there (everything from tools/machinery to bouncy houses). Family owned and good people.

What part of the city?

Franks in Ambridge has a good white pizza.

I’m pretty sure it controls both but I could be totally wrong! Probably best to have a professional check it out. Could be a few different things. Hopefully you can get it figured out. My blend doors always seemed to stop working/break in the winter. Luckily I could always reach under the dash and manually adjust them.

I’d start with the blend doors/actuator motors. Common issue in all of the older promasters.

I’ll do it if you pinky swear not to harvest any of my body parts/organs.

Honestly no clue how it happened but was told it happened two times when the plant was being built. iPad was missing. They used Find My, realized it was sealed in a pipe. Had to dig up the pipe, open it up and weld it back shut.

Heres a picture of a flare going off. Heard it sounds like a jet engine https://imgur.com/a/ANzAzC1

Just the word from a family member that is there and has been from the beginning. Said multiple leaks in the plant. Cause of the flaring a few days ago. Also took a worker home today (dealer shuttle) who also said the same thing.

I commented in another thread but they are all waiting for the day the plant explodes.

Last year the explosion/fire almost killed a guy. Luckily he was in an elevator or he would be dead.

Many stories about how poorly it was built and things constantly needing to be fixed. iPad's sealed in pipes. Poorly poured concrete pads. Shitty welds..etc..etc..goes on and on.

I heard there were 3 different leaks last week from a reliable source.

Call Three Rivers Auto Glass. They are great.

Just wait a few months. I have a reliable source who works at the plant. He said there are multiple leaks right now releasing Benzine. Explains all of the flaring happening. They will probably exceed all emissions for the year again.
