I doubt its the headlights. Completely different circuits. What you are describing is most likely thermal runaway. Running LED's from a constant voltage can lead to thermal runaway. As the forward voltage decreases the temperature increases, or in semi technical terms the resistance...

I would take a look at this thread. Sounds like you may have a bad seal on one of the main frame rail harness's located mid body, main frame, near the drivers door. You most likely have water Ingress into one of the harness's short circuiting signal wires.

The semiconductor industry is fascinating to me, but I'm a nerd. There are so many raw materials that are used in the production of our every day electronics and all the individual resources that are needed in that production are astounding. It only takes the removal of one cog in that wheel...

I thought this thread would be about the metallic being off in areas. There are clear areas that catch your eye on my truck where the return path overlap was mid panel resulting in darker splotches. Not enough that really concerns me, but in the right light at the right angle it's clear as...

I'm not sure Californians can handle Northern Idaho. First week I was there and coming back from the Ace in town was a guy on a BMX bike with an AR15 on his back. Pretty sure the U-Haul would make a u-turn right there and then. Sights like this might also give them pause.

I should add that since I work from home and drive less than 7500 miles a year that has a huge impact in the rates.

20+ years with GEICO, ticket and accident free. Two cars and the house. Just got a notification my rates went down by $86 on the Ranger for hitting 8000 days with them. Now pay $479 every six months. When I register up in Idaho this spring it should drop about 30% like it did with the F150...

Thank god no baton photo's from the flasher relay.

It's 8S electric. The front lights and brake lights are functional. Also put a DJI camera in the drivers helmet for FPV driving with goggles. There are also two OLED screens in the hood scoop that display MPH, RPM, Braking, and Battery Levels. I don't remember the exact print times but it...

Phil, If there isn't a surround gasket then I would tend to believe that the male side is hard plastic as shown, and the female mating side is probably a softer plastic that creates the seal when properly latched. From the photo if the top left was pin 0. Pins 4 & 7 look cooked, with pin 7...

Any limitations will be due to the printer. Ender makes a great introductory printer, its only limitation is size (as is with all printers) and a single extruder. Once you get into dual extrusion and the ability to print with PVA (dissolvable material) or breakaway material then the sky is...

Looks like you isolated the issue. The gunk you are noticing is burnt pins. I would venture a guess you have continuity across a pair of burnt pins. There should certainly be a gasket in there, I can't imagine those harnesses not coming with a water tight seal gasket. Not sure if...

Constant disconnects, music quality suffers, and lags behind is main reason I have stayed away from wireless CarPlay. Far less annoying to just plug it in and be done with it.

I'm no fan of the guy but there is a bit more to that story. The Strategic Petroleum Reserves in Texas and Louisiana have a capacity of 700mn barrels of oil. Congress tends to use the SPR as an oil piggy bank. When oil is cheap or there is a future need due to conflict they add to the...

This should be interesting to say the least. Another reason I wouldn't buy the first generation Ranger Raptor. With all the cost cutting and eventual missed steps I can see it being a shit show for sure. With petroleum at record highs right now, prices are going to be insane for virtually...

Installed the "Spare Tire Access Cover Flappity Dappity Doo Mark XII" (marketing name in development) for a bit of extra subtle badging.

My first thought would have been the fuel tank control module located on the frame near the spare tire. Its forward of the vehicle, almost center near the spare tire. Looks like this. But with the car wash causing all the other issues I would lean toward a bad seal / connection at the main...

If Ford put swivel bucket seats in the Ranger I'd upgrade tomorrow. I loved that in my Monte Carlo.

Must be the odd one out. Never turn it off and it doesn’t bug me at all.

Benny, The part number I listed was the part number listed on the sticker on my alternator. I can try and get in there to take a photo....Its a tight spot. Regards, Edit to include photo.
