When youre watching Evan and Katelyn on youtube make a giant 1,000 wick candle and the first thought you have after Evan cuts a pair of wooden platforms for inside the candle base: he just barely met the DC (difficulty class for the non d&d players) when you see how janky his cutouts are. 234403102023

I would ask your mechanic to do as deep a diagnostic on the modules of your car as he/she can do. Typically a deep scan will connect to every available module/ PID the car has which can show (depending on the quality of the scanner) stored codes, active codes, history codes(past codes), pending codes and codes that may not be actively calling for a check engine light or other indicator lights. Since possible rodent activity is a concern visual inspection of the harnesses would be advised as well as having him/her connect a multimeter to check circuit integrity by checking the wires resistance or ohm value and a continuity check. so in list form: a deep diagnostic scan of all modules/PIDs visual inspection of the wiring harnesses an electrical resistance/continuity check (the last one will serve as confirmation of harness/circuit integrity or confirmation of an issue missed by visual inspection) as to the cost, i couldnt guess, but, its going to be a bit of a time and energy investment by your mechanic to do this so id guess it will not be cheap. But it has the potential to rule in or out problems in a very thorough way. But do keep in mind if the problem is intermittent there is always a chance (the less frequent an intermittent fault is, the worse the odds of catching it in the act) you wont catch it in the act, but, it may also catch it. hope this helps 211403102023

@Spacescifi those free scans wont go deep enough. You need to get a deep diagnostic run by a technician/mechanic and done at least 2-3 times by 2-3 shops. The “load” that was placed on your battery was to see how your battery handled a current draw or your alternator to see if it was still providing enough charge voltage and amperage to the battery. From what im reading on your op and reply im more confident you have some kind of electrical fault that is only intermittent. Its why Im suggesting multiple shops do a diagnostic deep dive into all modules and use a meter to ohm out and continuity check all vital electrical circuits. There is something going on in your car, the behavior described in your op shows it, the fact it hasnt happened again or that light testing hasnt duplicated the fault isnt indicative that its fixed/resolved. Regarding the indication of animal activity in the engine bay really shows getting a continuity test to all circuits is a must. If you only go to your one mechanic please at least get him to ohm test and continuity test all circuits and visually inspect all harnesses. If its rodents (would be my guess as engine bays in modern cars are tight) they can bork harnesses in places not easily seen with out deep inspection. 201903102023 IMPORTANT!! If you have “new” parts on your car, remember: New does not necessarily mean GOOD, it just means never has been installed or used before. That piece of advice comes from a mechanic i watch on youtube: Rainman Rays Repairs. Good guy, great mechanic. 203203102023

@Spacescifi im going to suggest a potentially unpopular and likely expensive track to follow. Before you take it to your actual mechanic/dealership to try to fix it, take it to several (3, 4 or 5) independent shops and have them run a full diagnostic (code scan all modules ((some codes may be pending or not calling for a check engine light)) and test powers and grounds to vital systems) as it seems you have an intermittent failure that really needs to get caught in action. This wont be cheap, but will be cheaper than a parts canon tryagnostic. Get print outs and reports each time, then present all of it to your trusted mechanic and have him/her repeat one more time. A good body of data may show a common point or suggest where to look. Best of luck! 184103102023

@The Aziz ive seen that too. But it seems ive seen that behavior longer as ive seen it off and on, but not sure how long ago i noticed it start. But 99.99% of my time on these forums is on mobile, so maybe its just pure volumetric exposure for me? 125203102023

What funny/interesting thing happened in your life today?
AlamoVampire replied to Ultimate Steve's topic in The Lounge
I just watched a quick video that had a brief interview with Wil Wheaton where he is talking about his involvement in the movie Stand By Me. In the interview he mentioned his 40’s in reference to something he realized about his role. It made me wonder just how old he is. Well guys if you remember watching that movie in theaters or watching Star Trek The Next Generation as it was airing NEW episodes Im going to make you feel old. In July he will turn 51. Now, if you will excuse me, I feel old and wanna cry. I say this being about 9 ish years his junior…. 050003092023 -

I just had a funky thing happen. I was browsing the forums main page and wasnt logged in. I hit the reload button (iPhone xr using safari on ios 16.3.1) and it flashed your account does not need verification. I know it wasnt a mag from my phone as it was formatted the same way as being told someone replied to a thread youre viewing or any other forum notification… anyone have any ideas what i saw or why? Im guessing perhaps the recent forum update or traffic related? 182203072023
