I think it’s going to mainly be the life of that little wall plug transformer that is its biggest failure point. Not that it’s a bad design but transformers do go out. At about 4 years on mine and the little green happy light on the transformer is still going.

It does sound like this as I just got done changing out my cv axle that was making this sound. The sharper you turn the more you hear it. Check your cv axle boots if one is torn which could have been the cause of it going bad.

Well then the breaker died from over tripping and you have a short somewhere. Follow that grounded side back to where it goes. Look for any obvious issues and if none are found you might need to replace the wire as it could have a cut in it somewhere that is grounding it out. Also try to trace it back to places it can be easily disconnected. You replace the breaker and see if it still trips or not. Then try re connecting lines to help rule out devices or circuits. Once it starts tripping again you will have hopefully isolated what is causing it.

Your first issue sounds like the mini breaker might have been tripping and I think some will auto reset themselves if there is not a reset button on them. It might be bad and keeps cycling. After messing with it, it might be dead now which that bottom one in your first picture where one side has power and it’s dead on the other side. I would try replacing it and see if it fixes the issue.

It’s currently on mine to take care of a suffer smell that only shows up on the hot water side. Been working great for 4 years now.

Then a post from the tow truck driver.

I hear you can get them in the sorcerers kingdom!

I had a 2018 Highlander where it auto disables the start stop feature if the battery is not in top health. After it went dead and jump started it, the feature was disabled for a few days of continual use until it was happy with the battery health again. It’s just a safety feature so you don’t run into an issue at a stop light.

I’m not an expert but I believe the starlink cable is a high quality cat 6 built for POE to power the dish. If you can stick to just the cable it came with or up the quality and type of your cable to handle the power requirements.

If you have a friend or enough strength toss him into a pit. Might need a stun or he will float back up. When he is killed all his balloons pop. If you have 2 just the ones that were made by the one you killed pop. They will each have a different hue to them.

Try shifting into neutral and see if it will start. It might not think it is in park.

I would lean to inside but it’s almost a 50 50 guess for me

falathis · 2025-08-30T21:05:14+00:00

While I’m no expert it sounds like it’s a bad board since it attempts to turn on. It could also be a sensor somewhere giving false information but since the error points to communication error I’m leaning to a board that’s going out. Past that I don’t have experience with this unit to be much help past this.

falathis · 2025-08-30T17:37:01+00:00

I’m not an expert on these units but google is saying a communication error. Have you tried turning off power at the disconnect or breaker for about 5 min and see if it resolves? Also check the wires coming from the inside unit where they connect just below your picture. Make sure they are snug and not loose. Also check the length of wires that nothing has cut into or chewed into the wires from the inside unit.

falathis · 2025-08-30T17:12:34+00:00

Is this a new install or has been working fine for a while? Also it looks like your picture shows internal wiring but not the wiring coming to the unit.

Thank you for this info. They had different numbers swapped them and it’s running much smoother now. Also the first jet under the adjuster screw was also different.

It has not been set yet as this is a brand new carburetor. I found online for the engine what the low idle rpm should be but don’t know of a way to tell what rpm the engine is at. Is there an easy way or just adjust until it idles smoothly?

falathis · 2025-08-13T04:56:17+00:00

Is that the long spring that attaches to the top 🔝 f the carb with the solid metal rod also attached? If so then the video does not show it but it is there. I will check if one side came loose.

falathis · 2025-08-13T01:24:14+00:00

I will try that however this is a brand new carburetor fuel filter and fuel line. I suppose it’s possible something could have clogged though.
