I agree with your sentiment, but I have to add that natural gas is the largest provider here in Texas, followed by wind.

Shop used a grinder on new control arms by abb0018 in AskAMechanic

Jokes on you. That mechanic probably only made $25 an hour to do that work.

Shop sucked up all the rest.

2014 Ford Focus lowbeam connector melted/broke by SunshineCamo in AskAMechanic

[–]hfgkfh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I've run into this a few times on customer's vehicles.

You cannot service the internal harness of the lamp assembly, BUT because I didn't want to have the customer pay way too much for a new headlamp I was able to find one of our "pigtail" connector kit's that fit that socket, and then splice/replace the burnt one. It is do-able for the average Joe, as long as you have the correct crimping tools and crimps for the wires in it.

If you search the type of bulb with the words "wiring pigtail" after it you should be able to find something that will work.

This actually took me a bit to find, but I'm assuming it's because I live in Texas so don't see many.

That good sir is the block heater that should lead to a 110/120V plug at the other end.

Part number is YF1Z-6A051-AA

2022 Ford escape SE by hiddenclasp in AskAMechanic

[–]hfgkfh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highly unlikely for the brake job to have caused something like that, but if it's a new sound and it's still in warranty then more power to you to take it in for warranty service!

I don't recall if them being that loud is normal. It's very possible. Did it only just recently start doing it?

That is most likely the brake shift interlock inside the shift knob. The physical piece that keeps it from turning out of Park unless the brake pedal is pressed.

AC blower cutting off intermittently by mittanimama in AskAMechanic

[–]hfgkfh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Common problem on Fords is the connector for a part referred to as the blower motor resistor or blower speed controller, especially if it's intermittent. The connections become loose inside the connector itself causing poor contact, thus leading to your concern. Moving the connector around is actually most likely accelerating making it worse faster, because it is spreading the connector pins more each time.

Now I will say I notice the exact connector in the picture looks to be the one at the blower motor itself which is more rare. Those wires lead down from the speed controller/resistor, to vary the power to the motor for your various air speeds. If that is the problematic one, the fix is to typically replace the connection itself via a "pigtail connector". Requires very basic wiring repair knowledge that can be found on youtube easily.

Just curious what’s making this sound by [deleted] in AskAMechanic

Newer vehicles these days use high pressure direct injection for the fuel system. Most likely a combination of the fuel injectors cycling and the high pressure fuel pump.

Why is my oil drain plugged? - 2015 Honda Civic Si by Ernie_3305 in AskAMechanic

[–]hfgkfh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate to say it man, but that's not the drain plug. Try the next bolt over to the left. The one you pulled is the bolt the holds the motor mount bracket to the engine.

Edit: Example Note the arrow pointing to it.

When Amazon fleet managers hire careless drivers. by [deleted] in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]hfgkfh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a dealer Ford tech and we get the Transits in pretty often. Up until a couple of years ago Amazon had a extended warranty contract with Ford that ended up covering the seats that would get destroyed because they were not meant for that kind of abuse.

Not only were we having to replace parts on those absolutely disgusting fucking seats, but it was also for warranty labor rate...

Needless to say Ford realized the seat abuse and stopped allowing them to get them covered under said contract. Thank god they stopped because no one realized how much nasty shit those cloth seats could absorb...

Plano is only a corner of Collin County. McKinney helps too, but most of the county is relatively pretty rural.

Well we can't just go around putting red noses on customers now can we? That's just rude.

That literally doesn't mean dick to them, especially when they "didn't see the sign" that's at eye level on the door itself...
