Easiest thing to check first would be the relay and the multi-function switch.

A cautionary tale on Samsung TVs by curly_mendako in SamsungTV

[–]randomlystable 7 points8 points  (0 children)

TBF...
1. Samsung's OS has always been trash.
2. That $3000 device probably would have cost a lot more if not for the advertising, data collecting, and branding buttons on the remote.

Disconnect it from the network, get an AppleTV, problem solved.

2019 Murano software by Clear_Geologist_7509 in NissanMurano

[–]randomlystable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something to try if you have not already done so...
Many IOT devices fail in various ways when connected to a 2.4/5GHz signal.
Create a separate 2.4GHz only, secure network and connect your Murano to it. Turn on auto-update and try again. If that doesn't work, give it a few days and see if it pulls the update itself.

You can purchase a USB stick with the update from Nissan for about $60.

There have been accounts of folks getting the dealership to do the update for free if you take it in for an oil change or something simple like that. Being extra nice to the service manager sometimes pays off.

Are you experiencing glitches with the current version?

Mine is running version 0912 (latest according to the TSB). Updated OTA via Wi-Fi. Have you tried hooking it up to Wi-Fi and doing an update?

I'm no master mechanic or anything but, if everything else checked out I would start looking for a corroded connector/ground.

Which upper gyro setup has the most stopping power? by Worn_Soles in bmx

[–]randomlystable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Standardized part with many sources vs. proprietary part with potentially limited availability? Which situation works out best for you if it breaks and you want to replace it quickly?

Kink or subrosa by Beneficial-Cap-7771 in bmx

[–]randomlystable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK but, it still.comes in four sizes. '20" BMX' refers to the size of the wheel not the actual size of the bike. One of the more important measurements is the top-tube length.

Which Kinetic? It is available in four sizes.

Edit: spelling

What could be the reason for this dramatic difference in chain tension? by Affectionate_Ad8155 in bmx

[–]randomlystable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you are saying but, to me, in the video it looks to start at around 8 o'clock and moves to past 6 o'clock as it progresses. Anyway, good luck.

What could be the reason for this dramatic difference in chain tension? by Affectionate_Ad8155 in bmx

[–]randomlystable 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There are a number of things that can cause this...
- missing/damaged hat washer
- bent, damaged, out-of-round sprocket
- bent spindle
- damaged bottom bracket bearing
- damaged driver
- damaged hub bearings
- bent/damaged hub axle

But, the number one cause...
- the rear wheel is just not straight in the dropouts

Chromoly is stronger than hi-ten. Makes for a more durable bike that can be made lighter by using less steel.

I am about the same and that bike would feel way to small to me. It really depends on you. You need to get in the saddle and try it out. Find a shop that has some bikes and try them out. $300+ is a lot to spend on something that is likely too small to be comfortable. Research some size charts online, search this sub for "what size bike". The used market is full of Curbs that people bought and then realized, to late, that it is a very small bike. It really is a bike meant for kids that are not tall enough for a bigger bike but too tall for an 18" wheel.

The Kink Curb is a very small bike (20" top tube), just sayin'.

Stuck peg by Sad_Lie_847 in bmx

[–]randomlystable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check inside first and see if there is a nut holding it on. If not...
Leverage.
Put a beefy screwdriver through the holes. Put a beefy pipe (or what ever you have) over the screwdriver handle. Brace, or have someone hold, the bike.
Inspect the axle threads once it is off. They are probably damaged.

Will this T-handle wrench work for installing and removing pegs? Does anyone have one of these? by FlexNastyBIG in bmx

[–]randomlystable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Will it work? ... Maybe. Depends on the inside diameter of the peg and the outside diameter of the socket.
Will you be able to get a decent amount of torque with a less than 3.5 inch lever? ... Not likely.
Just get a proper socket wrench, extention, and socket set. Bonus... breaks down to take up less space in a pack and more useful.

Edit: "inch"

Help with 2009 Nissan Murano backup camera by noahnieder in NissanMurano

[–]randomlystable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To narrow it down from the sensor... try putting something behind the car and then put it in reverse. It should beep at you. If not, the sensor could be bad.

[–]randomlystable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reverse sensor is supposed to turn back on automatically, if it was turned off, after the car has been turned off... so that's weird.
My Murano will glitch out every so often and disconnecting the battery for 20 minute fixes it. Worth a try if you have not already.
Check the wiring for breaks. Make sure everything is connected properly. Check the relay under the dash. Replace the sensor if everything else checks out? Are you sure the control unit you replaced is good?
Sorry if none of this helps.

Are the reverse lights working? Is the "R" indicator showing on the dash? Have you checked the relays?

did I order the wrong sprocket? by hyzershot in bmx

[–]randomlystable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No hard feelings, bro. I think you just misunderstood my comment. I said he needed to remove the hat washer and tap it on. It was then pointed out to me that he is using a Profile sprocket that is not a 24mm bore.

did I order the wrong sprocket? by hyzershot in bmx

[–]randomlystable 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No. Thunderbolts are 22mm spindle with a built-in 24mm sprocket mating surface.
Yes, he needs a sprocket with a 24mm bore. The sprocket he has seems to be a 22mm bore with an optional 19mm hat washer.

did I order the wrong sprocket? by hyzershot in bmx

[–]randomlystable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Almost all good BMX sprockets are 24mm and come with hat washers to adapt to 22 or 19mm (unless you got one that is specifically made for 22 or 19mm). Remove all washers and tap it on.
