Finally after buying the 220V split, extension cord, and charging kit with poking a pass thru holes on wall, (This was tough as small wall had lots of electrical wires behind it) but now I can charge the car at home.
After noticing flaky warning lights on and off of ABS and ESC Off light for a while at my aging Sonata- like years-, I have noticed those two lights have always showed up in dash from some point in past – maybe before pandemic. But as a cheap guy ๐ I have ignored with the thoughts that I don’t need ABS nor ESC Off function anyhow… ๐
However, in last week after going thru hilly roads, one driver who was following me for a while finally walked to me at the stop light and told me “Dude your break lights are off!” then my stress from ‘fear of getting rearended by a car behind me at night’ started ๐
As a cheap and stupid owner, I thought it was a bulb problem ๐ – I had my Odyssey’s bulb fried on both sides of rear for a while ๐ However, the bulbs at Sonata were absolutely clean without any sign of problems.
After some YouTube research and looking at Sonata’s wiring diagrams – I realized break lights and ABS ESC switch are all connected and controlled by the switch connect/disconnect on the lever behind the break pad.
So as a cheap and easy guy, I fall into the trap of YouTube always being easy ๐ finally ordered the part from Amazon and end up rushing to auto part store to buy a “when needed not easily found” 14mm ranch. After struggling with acrobatic posture of throwing myself at the bottom under the handle for good 20 minutes and finally replaced the break switch.
Now, here comes the peace of no fear of rear-ended and no irritating dash lights plus likely I saved some good $120-$130 cost for replacing this part at auto shop. ๐
Our poor minivan has been struggling to blast the lights out due to cataract ๐ so planted a new eye lens on it. ๐
Originally was planning to either use toothpaste cleaning or sandpapering+clear coating but found a good deal out new headlights so endeavored into replacement works ๐
Being stupid on attaching buttons with needle with blurry eyes, I tried to avoid any chances of repairing the loose or detached buttons for whole life. Then, I found this after facing a shirt without 2 buttons ๐
This solution works incredibly easy – simply inserting the silicon based tie with folded form along with button and letting out when needle is pulled out – after one trial and error everything worked so perfect. So now I am looking for any shirts need repair ๐
After long time friend Razer’s death (finally DeathAdded :)) here comes Logitech’s Anywhere – I am usually fine with any function so wishing I have a good time with this one ๐
Poor Orbi which has been serving our families during last 3 and half years while going thru crazy increase of internet usage- has been sick time to time in during the week and finally became non-responsive on Saturday night – Wondered I have to run on Sunday morning but I found Amazon has midnight delivery. ๐ saved a trip
