Yeah, no downtime and a replacement soonest is my big crunch. This morning I woke up to find out that $46 PSU I posted just went up to $70.
This is turning in to a nut cruncher in my mind. I got so pissed off about it that I went and fixed my wife's Jeep's headlights, put the grill back on, then realized it wasn't going to be warm anymore so I swapped the doors and threw the top back on.
No it was NOT as easy as I just made it sound, and yes it may sound like a weird way to get angry but I've found it to be healthier than a lot of alternatives. I just pick a project that's been bugging me and through myself at it. I was upgrading her lights from halogen to LED and I just could not understand why they weren't working. I had to get a canbus adapter because the ECU in the Jeep is super picky about headlight voltages but even that didn't fix it so I just let it sit for a while. (We currently have an extra vehicle or two so I could leave it in the garage for a week)
Had this sudden thought, I'd just been turning the headlights on to check it then swapping wiring looms back and forth to see what would change...I never put the key in and turned on the ignition. It's very hard for an ECU to think while it's off, as soon as I put the key in and gave the system power they worked perfectly so I just had to slap it all back together.
Not sure what I'm gonna do about the RMA, next step is probably talk to the wife. She's been suffering from some medical issues making her miss work and had to fill out an "intermittent leave" thing that she just found out doesn't give her paid days off, just unpaid ones without getting in trouble. So a big backpay check she was waiting for isn't coming and suddenly our cash flow is tight and I do NOT want to miff her off. (She runs our finances, I go through her before I do anything lately. Safer and it seems to make her happy.)
Sorry for the babble, but it's me and it's driving me nuts. It's a little better since I mounted it upside down, but still intermittent hell.
