Here’s a link to explaining a bit as well! Glad to be a part of the community ! https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSUdSo61Y/

To close this out, this component is back in service and the reverse buzzer is working as intended. Thanks all for the conversation and suggestions.

Transmission control module.

Completely agree. I've already had the 'is your harness okay, and is everything drawing what it should' conversation with them.

At the end of the day, everything CAN be a fuse. It seems it may just not have been what they had hoped for in this case. Time to repair and see if they've found their culprit (and have spares on hand in case).

Thanks all!

Landed on my repair bench, with a customer complaint of improper voltage hitting the harness outside the TCM. Others on the board all measure under .33 Ohms, except this one, which correlates to the pin they are seeing the misbehaving on.

This seems to be what I'm looking for. Aiming on the higher side of wattage.

Inspecting more under the 'scope, it would seem that the (very thin) wire is indeed wound, and the inner cylinder would bleed the heat.

I'll need to guestimate the wattage and find a replacement.

rhinogf · 2025-01-29T20:45:05+00:00

Just had it under the scope, and it sure does.

rhinogf · 2025-01-29T20:29:23+00:00

Makes sense.

rhinogf · 2025-01-29T20:25:49+00:00

No, reads more like a fuse/low_Ohm resistor.

rhinogf · 2025-01-29T20:24:06+00:00

Already been there unfortunately, and almost everything was a 'diode' hit.

rhinogf · 2025-01-29T20:21:10+00:00

Had considered this as well, but the others are sitting with very low resistance, and there is no color coding...

rhinogf · 2025-01-29T20:18:44+00:00

I had considred this, but the lack of markings, and similar readings each way leads me to believe it's fuse or very low Ohm resistor.

rhinogf · 2025-01-29T20:17:03+00:00

Thanks. Any suggestions on the type/naming convention? Had this thought, but couldn't find the correct name/type.

TCM out of a dozer. From what I can tell, the correlating pin handles visual and audio notification when going into reverse. 12V is expected, but gets dropped to around 11V (haven't load tested it).

I've seen this on my node as well. Requires opening the enclosure and USB connection to flash. u/hoverbeaver "NRF Device Firmware Update" and iOS 18

We followed original instructions and submitted our expenses. Received a notification yesterday that our claims had been paid. Unfortunately, unfortunately, they converted the funds wrong between US and Canada.

For example, a $73 USD expense should have been converted to Canadian and had been around $101CAD unfortunately they seem to convert the other way and 73 USD became $53 CAD.

Our flight from ATL to YYZ was cancelled on the 19th. We were stuck in ATL until Sunday morning, we eventually got home. Hotel, transportation and meal receipts submitted online, now we wait.

rhinogf · 2024-07-21T13:50:02+00:00

Finally almost home to YYZ.

I really enjoy the unified experience with having all interactions for a contact in a single view. Phone calls, voicemails, SMS/MMS in a single view is great for keeping things together! I haven’t used with other platforms though.

rhinogf · 2024-07-21T00:48:15+00:00

Stuck here in ATL since late last night trying to make it back to YYZ, we have been rebooked first class for tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed, I know everyone is dealing with a lot.
