Puzzled... many small, sudden problems

[Marty]

Oh, I don't work today, I took off for it a while back. I did hook the ba's back up momentarily to see if the issue resolved itself overnight and of course it didn't. The puddle on the floor mat was gone and nothing was visibly wet. So you think allowing it to sit a few more hours it'll be ok (in 90 degree heat with doors open). I won't have a problem tomorrow if needed to hook the ba's back up, drive to work, unhook the ba's and then repeat as needed to get back home. I just don't want to mess anything up more. I have no problem buying new parts and repairing it myself if I have to

Edit - In fact, I enjoy it!

its tough to say what will or wont work to save the existing parts...just try to let it dry out and go from there...

[Marty]

Any length of time to make a choice?

Marc, I also sent you a pm about something else.

[mschn99]

just as long as you can....

[Marty]

lol... and by tonight if it doesn't work will my option of hooking/unhookin ba's for a few days be ok or should I just get a new GEM Module if it doesn't dry out tonight and NOT drive it?

if you have a small fan you can run out there and put on the floorboard, that might help too...get the air circulating....

Door(s) open... airflow b/c there's a 10mph wind thru here!

I just reconnected the ba's and it still dings

[Marty]

Well I just tried it, it's been 24 hours. Guess I'll have to hook the ba's up tomorrow morning to go to school, unhook when I get there, rehook to leave, unhook to go home, rehook to go to work, unhook at work and so forth and so on until i get back home tomorrow. suxxxxxxxxx

In the Haynes Repair manual there are no instructions on how to remove the Fuse box so after taking out all of the screws it is mobile however stuck because of the computer near the kick panel. I removed the 3 screws I saw and pulled out and then to the right and it didn't come out so I put it back and guess I'll have to wait until Tues Morning to actually do anything further Since I have School 9-1 then work 245-11.

Edit... this is what I was going to post at 11:32

It is now 11:52 and I double checked it. I hooked a ba up, it dinged. Made sure key wasn't in ignition it wasn't. Closed door opened it. D/C ba 2x's and noticed the key ding would go away for a second. Kept doing this, basically slamming the door and it went away. No more ding, radio works, keyfob works, everything seems normal except for the smell! I guess once again, thanks marc. You know, I really gotta figure something out that I can contribute back to marc lol.



I guess it would have cured itself overtime but Marc told me to just leave it alone. I'll be going to Ford to have them repair the visor since it's going to involve paint. It's now 11:55 and I'm going to bed on time to go to school tomorrow!
