The thing you gotta realize about electronics is that the damage isn't always visible, ESPECIALLY by someone who doesn't know what they are looking at. Output fets, power rail transistors, power switches, mosfets, turn on relays, protection relays, and so many more things can fail with no...
I've seen this a few times, and more often than not it was burnt components in the output section of the amplifier. I would take the main fuse out immediately until you can get it checked out by a shop. Once the protection circuit is compromised you are riding with a fire hazard.
Btw- I have...
my personal opinion is start small, youll learn about riding motorcycles in a whole different way than jumping on a big bike. even riding a 250 can make you hate driving something with 4 wheels in a hurry.
i grew up on 2 wheels and it is a part of me, i still a ride a 250 back and forth to...
so here is the background here....
we got a brand new, 2011 chevy cruze rs shortly after they came out. this car has been a constant nightmare.
we have had the car at the dealership steadily throughout the entire time we have owned it.
the car is now at 39,000 miles.
we are on the...
i get into this argument every year at the tag office. i ask them what is the point of all of this, and they say that you have to pay taxes on the vehicle. i tell them that i paid taxes on the car when i bought it. it usually ends with me telling them where they can go while im walking out the door.
UPDATE----
my co-pilot that rides with me to work is an idiot. i went back and did some checking... i took the serpentine belt off to make sure is wasnt an accessory that was squealing and it still did it. oil pressure is fine, by friend was looking at the wrong gauge this morning, he was...
oddly, it seemed to run fine. just had the insane squeeling noise, the smell, and no oil pressure. im starting to wonder if the noise was coming from the AC compressor and the oil pressure reading was a fluke.
im gonna get the truck and haul it to my step fathers shop, and put it on his lift. im gonna drop the pan, clean the screens, change the oil pump, oil filter, and fill her up with fresh oil. if it doesnt act right, im gonna send the truck to hell and get something else. probably a ford...
no. i stopped at gas pump, shut off engine. put in gas, started engine, thought "thats odd", and shut it down. pushed it to the side of the building, called wife, came home.
well its not a belt noise, something else is making the squealing, and also produces a smell not like that of a belt. i dont really know what to do as i dont really have the funds to dump alot of money into the truck, but i gotta do something because i cant afford to not be able to get to work.
