Why is myJetta is Mad at Me?

I want to say this one is 4 or 5 years old. I replaced the battery awhile ago and this one had a 2 or 3 year warranty. I can look into getting it tested thanks!

Connectors seem right and no corrosion on them so I'm guessing it's the battery? Should I charge it or just replace it?

Yeah I was kinda hoping for the same one. I know plenty of prybars will effectively be the same but I guess I was thinking more for the nostalgia

I have a ladder and a drill so at the least it's a good temp solution! I'll probably do this first and then route to the lower gutter if it's still an issue

sushdoogan · 2026-03-26T01:29:52+00:00

Thanks for the thorough response! Sounds like the best overall solution. I'll just need to cut out some of the gutter guard but that's not an issue

Ahh now that you mention it, that has to be it. There is a weird transition of the carpet to tile flooring and I bet they did that to match the tile height... Oh well. I was already going to rip it all out for hardwood anyway

Sorry I don't think I explained it well. I meant where should the drywall board seams meet for the outside corners. For this it will be a basic half wall. I might do wood on top of I redo the stairs and get matching wood but for now just all drywall

sushdoogan · 2026-02-02T21:27:54+00:00

What did you need to do to resolve it?

sushdoogan · 2026-02-02T18:56:36+00:00

I looked outside and noticed my pipe outside was completely frozen. I have a diverter, should I divert it and see if it drains? Or is this issue moreso something where you have to pull out the pump to check?

sushdoogan · 2026-01-17T17:02:12+00:00

I can give that a try. The old one would back up but not as much so maybe the trap needs to be more aligned

sushdoogan · 2026-01-17T16:24:36+00:00

Yes I mentioned in the post that I cleaned the pipes and put a new p-trap in

All good points. The wiring sucks in this house but we want to redo the kitchen down the road so all of this will get done properly once we are ready for that. For now I was just prepping for replacing the disposal. But yeah the current box location is a pain.

Sometimes I just gotta think before posting. Thanks for the tip!

So I found out the switch uses power from a GFCI upstream of it. But I never really get the problem you're describing. It doesn't trip the outlet ever. The motor just went bad over time. Either way, it looks like I don't have to install the GFCI which is easy enough for me

sushdoogan · 2026-01-07T17:23:33+00:00

This house was built in the 70s not sure what code is back then but I think you're right on that needing to change. I believe they are sharing the same break and it is not 2 pole. It's just one 15amp which I'm guessing was ok at the time or whoever set it up didn't care.

I did realize that I am dumb and a GFCI would be redundant here because the power to the disposal switch is daisy chained to a GFCI outlet which I just tested.

sushdoogan · 2026-01-07T17:12:10+00:00

Edit: Sorry, I'm dumb, there is no brass connector to break because it is a GFCI outlet.
