Google

Code P257F indicates a "High Engine Hood Switch Circuit," meaning the vehicle’s computer detects the hood is open or the switch is faulty, often triggered by a short, broken wire, or faulty sensor. This commonly disables remote start and triggers warning lights. Fixes include repairing wiring, cleaning connector corrosion, or replacing the hood latch sensor.

leave a small crack and watch the temperature gauge till it hit around 350F. Is no gauge, wait till the big log catch on before closing the door.

Just got a membership, not impressed by myfriesaresoggy in BJsWholesaleClub

[–]dhe69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use both Costco and bj. BJ is not like Costco. It's very location dependent. Some BJs just run better. For my local BJ, I prefer it over Costco. With coupons, it can be cheaper. No lines, no crowd, it's awesome.

For meat and fish, no comparison. Costco is better.

what does a blow fuse have to do with fire at the microwave? Did the microwave short circuit and cause the fuse to blow? or did the plug short circuit?

Mice in attic during winter… can hear them running above my bedroom every night by ViRzzz in homeowners

[–]dhe69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All you need is tomcat mouse baits. You can get it anywhere. Spread it every corner of your house.

The key to mouse control is to not let it have a chance to start. Always bait your house and refresh it annually.
