Beginning Techs Repairing A Glovebox Door Mechanism (1999 Ford Taurus)
มุมมอง 15K9 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video I show you how to fix a simple glovebox door mechanism. Remove the glovebox if you can, otherwise screw the guarding off, pop the mechanism out and then set to work on the mechanism. Most mechanisms operate on simple plastic components and springs, chances are you just have to pop something back in place!

I voted for PEDRO !
Bad lighting
Appreciate if you give a video that shows the increase of temperature's period
A helpful son.....a very rare species lol
just opened my toaster and found the skeleton of a dead, dried up mouse. Decided not to try and fix it.
I know out of topic but whats the title of the intro music XD
Well and HOW TO: Repair a toaster that is shorted? Where is the problem!
Please how to replace cord and what size cord to get?
One of my element wires shorted and blew, can’t that be repaired on a toaster? Brand is an Oyster.
maybe an allen wrench
Bread toaster can use 110v to 220v nothing problem?
Such a nerd ha
How can I fix my toaster cannot deliver !!can I have some idea how thank you
Sir please speak your full pronounciation,... so I will understand your explanation
F’ing USELESS!
Well done...
When i take the spacers up will it stay still. Or do i need to keep them there. Didn't show how to finish other sude😤🤯
when u try to fix ur toaster and the guy helping u broke his at the end of the video .....
Copper wire won't get hot eh? Take a 6" piece of bare #12 in a U shape, stick it in an outlet and see if it gets hot. Do the same with a very high resistance plastic zip tie and see if it gets hot.
Did anyone else watch this and wish he would just shut the fuck up and cut the damn wood or is that just me having a bad day? 19 minutes of talking before you cut your first piece?
Much better if you plug it in and take a bath while doing this.
Good video...I gave thumbs up for effort, but what I see is a lot of plastic stuff destined to break. Compare to a 1940's or 1950's era TOASTMASTER. Just sayin'.... bulletproof.
Very good explanation. Much appreciation. I can't believe I understood what you demonstrated
do you really publish a 15 min video that doesn't helps anyone to fix a toaster? ridiculous ..
I stopped watching after 3 minutes. It took you that long to say what you were going to do, tell us to clean it, and take out 4 screws. zzzzzzzzz
This guy used a 3" knife 😂😂 theres so many different ways and you picked a drywall knife😂😂🤣
Pergo is shit you shouldn't have to hammer in every peice
Nice video dude. Good honest troubleshootings and tips. Agreed on the jigsaw comment below, would be handy to have a jigsaw with the correct type of blade. I watched because I was interested to see how the mitre saw would work for cutting laminate. Also, getting the old flooring up and doing the prep work is much more of a pain than fitting the new material. Good work sir!
dayumn useful brother
Thx for this video, now I’m getting my laminate done by a professional. I can’t be arsed
Thanks goodness for 1.5x speed
Dude those black things on the end of the boards are not spacers or protectors those are the click tab. when you put one board down it locks it in you should not pull those out I install for Home Depot I install that style all the time
Working in socks, pulling nails out with a pair of pliers instead of a hammer, pulling up old flooring with a putty knife instead of a flat bar, almost cutting off your fingers, WHY THE F ARE YOU TEACHING PEOPLE. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET HURT WATCHING YOU, IF THEY HAVENT ALREADY.
Nice informative video! It has given me more confidence to tackle this with my home! Thanks for the video!
When using a miter saw, you release your trigger BEFORE lifting the saw back up. Make sure the blade stops spinning first. This is about safety and quality of cut. And never, ever, put your fingers that close to the moving blades 🤯
this was sooooooooooo boring
Is using an underlayment when there is already padding overkill?
nice video...do you must put underlay (pad) or it's not necessary?
I have watched about 10 videos on how to fit laminate flooring. One thing has become apparent. None of the posters have actually read the fitting instructions which come with the laminate.
Which you kind of want to disregard anyway.
Thanks for the video I looked at a few of these by the so call professionals not near as informative as yours plus yours show F-ups that most of DYI projects have
Those odd cuts can be made with a jigsaw. You've got a DeWalt chop saw ... surely you can afford a cheap $60 jigsaw so you could have used a full board and just cut out the part that goes around the cabinet? It also gives a cleaner cut than a hand saw. Overall, though, nice video -- thanks for taking the time to make it.
Yeah that is a good point. My mom had bought the chop saw and I was in school at the time, but I should have made the argument to her, a little bit of extra money up front would have made a lasting impression.
Are those OSHA steel toe approved socks .....
Haha no, it is important to wear the proper personal protection equipment and be safe. Next time for sure.

it will be good idea if u put the cutter on top of table instead floor
That is good advice for ergonomics and ease of use reasons! The only table we had at the time was pretty weak, but it may have been worth it honestly.
I am extremely curious, but don't want to wreck my toaster.. What will happen if you connect a car battery to the plug?? Will the wires heat up and turn red? I am 99% sure it's DC current going thru those coils, but have no idea how the circuits/resistors/etc. will react to DC as opposed to AC. Any thoughts?
If you are in North America you typically receive AC current to your house at 120 V and 60 Hz, but many appliances will convert this AC to DC current so you are right about this toaster needing DC. I am not sure exactly how the toaster would draw power from the car battery, but if it draws it at higher levels than it would a typical outlet in your home you could damage the toaster to the point it wouldn't work. My guess though would be the toaster would just heat up quicker than usual considering the coils are a resistor, but it is possible you may break the mechanisms (capacitor) used for the dials.
Nice carpets
I don't know if i am wrong or not, but i think you install the floor in a opposite way,
Please don't take this the wrong way, but did you read the instructions before installing this floor? I believe those "inserts" that you removed from the edges are meant to stay there.
To my knowledge those are put there to keep the integrity of the sides during shipping. I'm not sure how I would have assembled the flooring with them still in place.
Did the instructions mention them? I'm not trying to troll you here, just want to let you know that the insert is not there for the reason you give. Apparently you're happy with your install, but if you (or anyone following your instructions) have a warranty claim, it will be voided for not following instructions. Laminate flooring warranties are notorious for needing the install done EXACTLY according to instructions. See this video for a better explanation of that strip: th-cam.com/video/Wmf1L2KIgz0/w-d-xo.html.
I looked into it and you are right! For the most part this inserts help keep the laminate flooring together, although sometimes they make it hard to assemble and may not be needed, I found a link here www.laminate-flooring-installed.com/Pergo-XP-laminate-review.html
I've installed about a dozen laminate floors from different manufacturers for myself and friends over the past few years with good success by strictly following the directions.Although I've not come across the ones with plastic inserts, I did see instructions and videos for them. There were a few negative reviews about the inserts, and some good ones. I'm not even sure if they use them any more. Just wonder how the manufacturer would handle a claim if the inserts were removed. It would probably be rejected. I'm glad you took my comment in the spirit it was intentioned. Good luck with future projects.
You're using the spacers the wrong way. They need to be on the side, two at a time. This way the thickness can be adjusted.
Thanks for the advice!
Uh...Floor Scraper!! $22 at Harbor Freight will take of any old tile (and glue) without much effort.
I will be using one next time for sure!
