    I’m pretty sure the connections are good. I’ve replaced both wires, one sensor, and the main supply harness. Problem I’m having is that one sensor slips out away from the tone ring. The Little steel tube that holds it, is cracked where it’s welded to the spyder. I bent it tight again, and caked the sensor with liquid tape, put it in. Lasted a while. I need to glue it in, till I pull the hub. Needs welding, or at least a clamp around it.

    The light problems are a result of the snow and salt. Easily found the green shorted wires. 3 quick twisted wire and tape repairs. Springtime, I’ll fix everything right. Along with all my chicken lights. Air ckeaner lights, and new rear light panel. This Trailer has LEDs and the riveted light bezels. Need to swap them out with easily changed rubber grommets.

    This is why I mentioned dielectric grease, we were having trouble with the cam sensor on the wifes truck in the rain, dielectric fixed it. Sounds like he has a different issue though.

    Dielectric grease is an electric forklift's friend.

    250 miles from target. It didn't look this far on the map.

    I don't understand why CMV's have to be subjugated into driving an extra 100 miles around Atlanta.

    This wastes an unprecedented amount of fuel and time, and creates more greenhouse gasses which are harmful to the children and the environment.

    Progress and growth. In 1955/56 you could finish lunch at the Sinclair in Douglasville at 1 PM; hit US78 -(Ponce de Leon downtown) with 65 bales of cotton on a flatbed, chug across to
    Decatur and pick up US 29 and be going around Stone Mountain (the mountain itself) headed to Athens by 2:30. Would go faster if 2 or 3 of us with Riddell (Canton, MS) were tied up with some of the "Marble City Cotton Express" (Sylacauga, AL) trying to be first to Saluda River TS at the SC line.

    I agree. That stuff is good I use it everytime I change a bulb, and on the so-called weathertight plugs. This inverters been bad since I installed it. Strange it started beeping a solid tone, even though it was off. I just disconnect the hot cable from battery. No more noise. One thing I don’t understand is why they’ll use such thin wire on things. Be it to lights, sensors, ecm, it’s a no wonder they break.
