@EddiesCustomsandRestorations10 күн бұрын
try once again disconnecting the battery but this time while its disconnected, apply the brake pedal so that the system completely dries out of energy and then connect the battery again. if its still the same, something is actually wrong with the infotainment center that a reset cannot fix. If you are a DiY type of person, i suggest buying another stereo from another used car at a used auto parts and replacing it (the screen/infotainment center). if you like you can also check the price at the dealership but i have a feeling it will be an outrageous price so thats why i recommended a used auto parts that generally gives warranty or exchange within a few days if it doesnt work. But its up to you. Wish i had better news. but yes give that a try first.

So if the epoxy you are using is mixed 4:1 then I would do. 4 parts epoxy, 1 part hardner and 1 part urethane and then spray a little to see if it is thinned down enough to where it sprays smooth through either your 1.2, 1.3 or 1.4 tip which im assuming is what your paint gun will have.

For some trucks it's the starter motor that gets stuck and doesn't stop whether the truck is on or off... I fixed it mine by smacking the starter motor with a sledge hammer and a metal tube ...it worked fine after a few smacks. So: 1. disconnect the battery so it stops spinning 2. then smack it and re-connect the battery and 3. repeat if necessary until it doesn't start unless you turn it on with the truck key. It's the symptom of a starter motor going bad. 4. Replace it as soon as possible if you can.
