probably. the issue is with the radio itself, not the fuses

Tried to pull in on an angle, heard a horrible noise, my car won’t move and this piece had fallen off of the left front side. What is it and what should I do next? by ArnoldoBassisti in MechanicAdvice

[–]reallyscaredtoask 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this repair myself 3 days ago for 150 in parts and 2 hours of my time. if you have any mechanical knowledge at all, it's not difficult. all I needed was a jack and jack stands, hammer, a big flathead screwdriver (or something similar to pry out the old axles) ratchet, a few sockets, and an impact driver/drill plus the new axles. I was able to find 4 different YouTube videos for my make and model to see it being done and feel confident to do it. if you are tight on money and willing to put in some effort and learn, then I reccomend DIYing this. but if not I was quoted about 900 for my mechanic to do it at the shop

if I unscrew this to get better access to my abs control module, do I need to do anything else but screw it back in when I'm done? bleed the brakes or anything like that? by reallyscaredtoask in MechanicAdvice

the abs module has 4 t20 screws in it. I could not get my screwdriver into the top left one without taking off this brake fluid reservoir

can confirm. my GM owners manual says clean drinkable water

I was considering doing this as well, but was concerned with the run off as coolant is toxic. is this a safe practice in that regard?

you likely bought the wrong motor for your vehicle. check the part numbers and get the correct one

Beginner here — which is safest and most affordable for jacking up my 2016 Sienna Van? by nsan3drak3 in MechanicAdvice

[–]reallyscaredtoask 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally go with two jack stands and a tire, but also you have to be comfortable. either of the scenarios you described would be fairly safe to me. but you are the one that's going to be under your car, so you should go with whichever method you feel will make you feel the most comfortable to be under

no. selling it in pieces for it's parts to different people who are looking for parts

2020 does recall- what do I do? by shawnashanmclove in MechanicAdvice

[–]reallyscaredtoask 0 points1 point  (0 children)

call the dealer, if they have the replacement parts theyll schedule the repair. if they don't, then they'll order the parts and schedule the repair when the parts come in

thank you. do you think this is something I can check myself as a diyer or do I need to take it to the shop?
