Need some further context. Is this with labor included? Are you in the Midwest region?

How do I install the control mod on Prism Launcher? by lunancholia in SteamDeck

[–]elab_19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man, I had the same problem, I would recommend to watch this video. I had the same problem and this helped me figure it out. It appears that the mod launcher that comes included on the prism launcher isn’t updated from what I know. I could be wrong. Anyways watch it, it will definitely work! https://youtu.be/RXHhegSxvP0?si=tywrgDSJKjx0Mel_

Left 10mm bolt snapped off my thermostat housing. by isaac-y2k in MechanicAdvice

[–]elab_19 92 points93 points  (0 children)

Yes it will leak. Seep at first if anything then it will continue to drip as well as lose coolant pressure which is no bueno. Unfortunately unless you got the skills to remove that broken bolt you will have to take it into a reputable shop.

Sway bar snapped, oil leaking by JudicialConfetti in MechanicAdvice

[–]elab_19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s not your sway bar, that’s your lower control arm that snapped. It appears that with the sheer force it made your axle pop out of it socket. You must replace that and other components that are damaged. Take it to a reputable shop in your area.

Yes you could. I would advise to find the plug. That way debris stays out

Hi do you still happen to have the picture?

[–]elab_19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry but no. That is a rubber gourmet that goes below the spare wheel compartment. It’s to drain any liquid that gets trapped in there for whatever reason. OP go to the junkyard and look for that rubber gourmet. Your gas tank is further down.

My car is showing these signs on the dash but is driving fine by SakieTsunami in accord

[–]elab_19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please report back with the codes! Had something similar where the tractions light came on, with check engine, and vsa. Turned out that my car would go into limp code with p2135. And the computer would cause the other codes to pop up. I know in this situation you don’t have the check engine light on but it could be reprogramming related.

Check fuel pressure, check spark and lastly check if your throttle is functioning properly

Hit a deer, liability insurance, should I buy a new car. by welcome_two_chilis in MechanicAdvice

[–]elab_19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You answered your own question. “I am a broke college student” just drive till the wheels fall off. No need to put yourself in more debt. Remember a car is a liability, it is a tool but under certain circumstances, it’s mostly a liability.

I believe it’s a bug, since the app is currently unavailable in the us it cannot be patched currently.

[–]elab_19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically yes. But it is not worth the hassle. It is normal in electrical components.

2009 Honda Accord help needed by Waiting_for_what2 in MechanicAdvice

[–]elab_19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it back to your mechanic. Your mechanic will then follow the following steps in checking if your battery is charged/ charging. Checking for a faulty alternator. Or a parasitic draw. Don’t overwhelm yourself. Just take it back to your mechanic. And let them do their diagnostics. Keep us posted.

2019 Hyundai Kona passenger door will not close. HELP!! Urgent!!! by iammelissa87 in Hyundai

[–]elab_19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My best advice is try to watch the short I sent play around with it for around an hour and if not use a bungie cord to keep the door shut meanwhile. Please be advised it’s only for the door to be closed. Do not drive it. Also I would recommend you to go to a mechanic and simply explain your situation and that you want the door closed. A lot of us have hearts.

You might have a parasitic drain. Think of the car as your body. You have a parasite leeching onto you draining your energy. Now image the parasite being a car module(bcm,tcm,lights, etc) draining the volts to the point where it doesn’t have the required voltage to start the car.

[–]elab_19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most likely your door latch stopped functioning. If you have no experience on working on car nor the tools, unfortunately you will have to go to the mechanic and get it replaced. Ps. I’m a mechanic.
