The problem is the housing/harness that plugs the ground/12v into the back of the cigarette lighter barrel. Or its the back of the cigarette lighter barrel. I can hard wire the connections where they need to be with a small length of wire and some electric tape. I'm planning on doing that...
I did in fact listen to you and everyone else's advice. When I was listening I was unable to locate my time machine and NOT hook up the inverter/space heater.
This thread, like every other thread on AT, doesn't include all the information in the world and the full backstory. I'm sure there...
Thanks for helping guys.
I hate to say it, as its an embarassment, but the problem was actually the coolant level. Apparently the water that I put in the overflow tank (right before posting) solved the problem. That is kinda odd because I ran the car a few times after that and the heat...
I think I've smelled coolant occasionally but its not strong or often. I never noticed any wetness on the floorboard and I wear sandals 90% of the time.
The hose runs to the overflow jug. Thats where I learned as a boy you could add coolant to the system.
I did in fact pour some water in there before I posted here on AT. But when I put fluid in there I have my doubts about whether it gets sucked in to the system or not.
Lets say it only...
You know, every time I try to add fluid via the radiator cap, it just dumps the fluid out of some unknown drain underneath the car.
I know its got plenty of fluid in there, but if its got air in it or if its low, I don't really know how to do anything about that.
Yeah, the coolant level seems fine. I did a flush a few months ago when I had a recuring "low engine coolant" indicator. I followed the prestone label exactly, except my radiator didn't have a draincock so I drained it by unclamping the lowest radiator hose. I filled back up with a 70/30 mix...
Dude, I really doube that my space heater wouldn't make me warm in my car. It might not be able to be powered on, but if I got past that, I really doubt it wil have a problem heating the thing up well enough for me to have to turn the damn thing off.
i called every truck stop in the area and then walmart.. no dice
it never gets this cold around here and I guess these places have sold their stuff to people like me, or even truckers...
500 miles this week. It was 17 degrees here this morning. I was so happy when it warmed up to 35 for my drive home. I drove 90 miles before the sun came up and and 90 more after the sun went down.
Can I go buy a power inverter and use one of my space heaters? Is a cheap (>$100) inverter...
Everyone on earch is LMAOing this, but, truth is, I've had some fecal matterial clumps that caused such exit pains that I would have prayed they were Oh Henry bars. Crapping Oh Henry bars doesn't really sound that bad.
