My problem is not getting the spare to lower, but to get the secondary latch to engage when reinstalling the spare.
I lowered the spare by lowering the tire with the hoist as much as I could. Then I accessed and lubed the latch with some penetrating oil thru the hole in the bumper behind the...
The secondary latch for my spare tire hoist will not engage. I cleaned and lubed the latch mechanism. The weight of the tire keeps the latch retracted. The dealer said you raise the hoist until you hear 2 clicks and that should engage the latch, but I couldn't get this to work.
It doesn't work at all. The engine temp runs normal and the coolant level is fine. A friend told me that Speedy Oil Change can test the system for leaks and recharge. I'd prefer to do this myself if I can get some advice on testing the existing pressure in the system to determine if it...
My daughter has been using my 2003 Tahoe all summer, so I just found out that the AC has not been blowing cold air in either the front or rear. The low pressure silver tube with the recharge fittings gets cold. She said that previously when she turned the temp dials to a low setting the air...
This could be a case of galvanic corrosion of dissimilar metals (copper wire, silver solder, tin connectors, exposure to moisture, etc). I called the Bose Automotive Support number yesterday where a support person repeatedly informed me that the problem was the stereo amplifier. I tried...
Connectors
The wires on the face of the speaker cone look good. One of the wires at the clip was deteriorated, so I cut that wire back and soldered an extension wire to it, cleaned up the mating surface of the clip and soldered the new wire to it.
I tested the speaker pins using my home...
Speaker connections
Looks like it is due to corrosion at the connectors. One wire on the speaker side of the connector was so deteriorated that it looked more like string than copper. I think if I replace the connectors it might work out. Pretty sure at this point that the stereo itself...
Thanks for your reply. The radio was off (or the car was off) while I was installing the speakers. I tested the ouput from a home stereo with a multi-meter and got a signal. I then tested the leads going into the speakers on both doors and got similar signals as I did with the home stereo...
My driver's door Bose speaker stopped working so I removed it and tried testing it with a stereo and it didn't work. I also tested the wire lead going to that speaker in the drivers door with my multi-meter and got a signal.
The passenger side door speaker was working fine, so I moved it...
