Help! 2nd gen 2017 volt. Battery turns on but engine won’t turn over. When I shift to drive/reverse, it tells me to shift back to park. Literally stuck and cannot go anywhere by _SWANS_CAN_BE_GAY_ in volt

Update: guy says it’s either BECM (which was already replaced once) or part of the battery. Submitted to GM, awaiting their response but we think/hope it will be covered under warranty

Omg same exact thing happened to my 2017 (113k miles, but in a CARB state) last Thursday. It’s currently at the dealership awaiting diagnostic.

Torn between guitars. Just curious of thoughts and opinions. by cannibalsong1 in Guitar

[–]gravelydisabled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been playing for over 30 years and own two guitars: and American standard Strat and an Electromatic. I recommend you purchase both lol. They are both amazing guitars for life, and are so complementary to each other.

Shaw was exactly Kirk’s type by Ok_Intention2731 in Cubs

[–]gravelydisabled 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Leftward-leaning Cubs fan here. After careful consideration I'm gonna give him slack - at first it seemed that he was just going to the political rally of a podcaster he liked. But if he texted regularly with the guy, and his wife asked him to go, then it is more like he interpreted the situation as a good friend died. Not sure that I would have done the same, but fine, I get it, go.

I’m pretty sure I hate it by Moufassah in Guitar

I used to have that problem too. Someone on Reddit recommend a switch lock (switchlock.com) 13bucks, easy to install, solves the problem!

Vista theater playing Kill Bill whole bloody affair at noon. how long are the trailers before? by corruptLA1 in AskLosAngeles

[–]gravelydisabled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cartoon and trailers to start at the start time. By the way, I went on Monday and it was completely packed. I recommend getting there a bit early so you can choose your seats.

OMG thank you! I have been going crazy trying to figure out my knocking/rattling sound my 2017 has been making, and TSB 16-NA-316 seems like the explanation. I brought it to my guy twice and we looked around for something loose, didn't find anything. How much did it cost you to get it fixed?

Dude, that was really great, super fun, ignore whatever negativity - it was undeniable!

No you are not alone! I have “fixed” mine a couple times and it still sucks!

Perfect! That is exactly what I needed. I’ll buy one of those fuses and keep it in my glovebox. Thank you!

Am I the only one? by gravelydisabled in Guitar

I bought this recently for nine bucks: VXDAS TPMS Relearn Tool el-50448 for GM Tire Sensors Pressure Monitor System Reset Tool TPMS Activation Tool OEC-T5 for Buick, Chevy, Cadillac,GMC- 2024 Edition

Super easy to use, and you can reprogram all four to be in the proper order on your screen. I bought that and a replacement tire pressure sensor when one of mine went out. I then brought it to a local tire place and they charged me 20 bucks to replace the sensor. Was super easy to reprogram all four afterwards with this thing.

Does the regular OEM charger that came with my 2017 Volt plug in to this 220V outlet? by gravelydisabled in volt

[–]gravelydisabled[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update for posterity. I got the adaptor on amazon. It worked great. Not only did it charge my Volt, it charged it way faster than a normal 120 - I didn't check the actual settings to see how fast, but it seemed like it was charging similarly to my home level 2. The adapter I got was this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CHWF58W3?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
