Visiting is not a problem,question is how would the transportation be handled?

1, (lexus) not affordable or make we ask our former I.g about his transmissions mission.

2, ( EOD) confusion if the engine na ivtec plugs or v6. The monkey yanch for knee might happen b4 the visiting as he would be visiting comptroller general of customs to allow his boys save passage


3 (Horse) no show.

5 (keke maruwa) fuel economy,but wouldn't speak well of HRM,since he needs to make a grand entrance

6 (Running shoes) YES YES,he can jog his way down there,all HRM has to say is,I was just exercising past here and then I recall u live close by

Only to show up with canvass looking like this

Chaiii,

@ HRM (His Royal Madness)?





Automotec u are strictly oyo oh... I can't stand a grown up man crying like a baby on his knees begging for stuff....

Interesting....I remembered when my gear was stuck in Park and I have manually override it to change to Drive.

Sometimes it ll work fine while sometimes I have to go manual. My mechanic told me that my gear box is bad ...bla bla, he ll have to bring everything out.

One day, I stumbled on a youtube video and it revealed that a fuse could be responsible. I opened my fuse box I discovered that most of the fuse used by my rewire were not according to the recommended rating on the circuit diagram. In fact some blown fuses were patched with copper wire instead of replacing them.

I reset everything to factory default and my gear came
back to life

Observing Sir,

I must say you are doing a great work. It's only abroad one gets to see people like you. You invest so much in rebuilding vehicles ( yes, I followed your Honda and Camry rebuild) and still have the time to post useful information right here on NL.

Its really insightful Sir

GAZZUZZ:
30 minutes later client calls... vehicle went off again on the express road. He is currently waiting it out.

told him to bring it in once it starts and monday we will replace the Fusebox.



Let me search for pictures (phone currently filled with sienna pictures.. Let me delete and update I will be back)

Monday morning, I gallantly entered ladipo market, Bought the fuse box, got some other parts too and headed back to workshop.

I installed the Fusebox coupled the car and it started just fine.

Local man was impressed with him sef.

For quality assurance, I took the vehicle home that night, it sailed through very thick traffic like a champion and got home without event. I reported my successes to the client and told him in the morning he could come pick up the car.

Early next morning 6am I headed out with the car. 300meters from my house

All lights on cluster went off..... And engine shut down

I told my self gazzuzz the terrestrial powers are after you

After every manipulation I did to try to start the car wa a waste of time.

I had to serve my ban like a man

I waited it out, by 6:45am, car started I drove to the shop, parked vehicle and left in another vehicle.


At this point there were more questions than answers.


I messaged client not too come for car again.

That day passed and I did nothing to the car.


Next day, I started car in workshop and left engine running. After about 3 hours it went off I inspected all the adjoining wiring under the dashboard on drivers side, found more sockets that had corrosion, and cleaned them after the cleaning car started, but this time around I took no chances, I cannot come and kee my sef, I left vehicle running in workshop.

Car still went off again and as usual we had to wait it out.

GAZZUZZ:
cleaned sockets and coupled back together and the fuel gauge that was empty became full tank!

The battery light that was normal, started illuminating with the engine running


When I saw it local man was not happy!!!

What did you guys do?!!!!

Oga nothing o! Nah just clean we clean all those green green things....

We started retracing from the harness that led to fuel pump.......

GAZZUZZ:
Next series of days I did nothing, I just left the car and focused on my hybrid and other jobs that came in.


After a lot of (gazzuz.z how far with my car) from the client I told the bois to take down the dashboard so we can inspect all the wiring.

We found more corrosion on sockets and we were pleased

GAZZUZZ:
left the car again for another day to attend to other things.


After a lot of checks, fuel gauge was sorted out, I left engine to run almost the whole day and Ma guy was gallant...

In the evening I went to buy fuel it went well.

I parked it in the workshop, and went home.

Next day, I sent the bois on errands with the same vehicle... it went well...

We were all pleased, but the battery light was still slightly dim when engine was running.

Tested the charging voltage and it was within spec.

I started checking all ground connections and sanded them before reconnecting.. All grounding in engine bay also.

The battery light was still doing strong thing.

I added more ground connections from the body to the battery and from batt + to the positive connector on external Fusebox.

Battery light finally went off.

AutoMoTech:


Major ground connection in the engine bay causing this?

If it works just leave it alone

GAZZUZZ:
Ladies and Gentlemen that was how N50 fuse nearly turn me to mad pesin


For educational purposes, this is what happened.

The fuse must have gotten burnt some time in the past and a technician, just placed the copper wire around it, but the copper wire did not sit properly in the contacts, and the connection was partial.

The reason why I never checked fuses was that each time car went of, all you had to do was wait it out and car would start, the waiting period was not consistent.

Fuses are usually working or not working so really gooffed on this one

The good side is I am yet to collect any money from the client, and yes he is reading this thread and yes I am coming for you (is it me that tell u to use wire inside fuse? )

Car has been returned to client, and has been out for 3days and no more switching off in motion.


Buy a fuse today, save your self and your technician.

Say no to copper wire on fuse.

The end
