In this video I troubleshoot my Coleman Saluspa/ Lay-Z-Spa that I got for free! It came with an E02 Error which indicates a waterflow issue. Several things can cause this fault, and we test them in this video. Link to replacement impeller: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RFD65Q5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
2nd gen Prius Liftgate Handle Repair Trick

The liftgate handle is a common failure on the 2nd gen Prius. I thought it would be impossible to repair in a sturdy way, but I discovered a trick that leaves the handle just as strong, if not stronger than before.

    did you fully charge up the whole pack prior to doing any laod test or internal resistance check. or did you dive right into it in whatever condition the pack was at when purchased?

    I've seen a lot of videos on roof top tents, have camped a lot, carried a lot of stuff on roof racks... Here's what seems to be the consensus. This type of tent for sale are too heavy, way too expensive, too gimmicky, limited (usually you can only enter on one side. So this is progress. What I would suggest is. 1. Inexpensive roof rack. (The rubber cup 2x4 ones are just fine) The most critical part of keeping a roof rack on the vehicle is a line to the back and to the front. Every "I lost my kayak' story includes these straps missing. No roof rack will stay on the roof if something knocks them off. Kayaks are extreme because they are long, but even when I carry plywood - forward to back is the most critical. (Open your hood, there are fender bolts on the sides. Take a piece of 1" webbing, nylon, polypropalene but not just cotton, fold it in half, melt a hole through the two ends, screw the bolt back in. These can stick out of the side of the hood as tie point, or they can be tucked back under. Done this for over ten years) 2. Just find a tent. The only thing 'wrong' with a Target or Walmart tent is, they tend to be heavier than back packing tents and the mesh isn't as tight. (Noseeums get through. If noseums are the problem, give the mesh a very light spray of pyrethrin. Dosn't take much let it dry before you fold it up or sleep inside.) These tents are really inexpensive (The best tents have mesh on the sides that you can see out of, and a good rain fly. What's the point of going to a beautiful spot, crawling into a tent and all you see is the inside of the tent? Then get lightweight plywood (Luan at Home Depot is great) Add some stiffeners. This can just be 1" strips glued and screwed. If you make a grid, don't be afraid to use a bunch of pieces in between the long strips if they fit snug between the long pieces and are glued and screwed they will act like full unbroken strips. In construction these are called 'blocking.' 3. Figure out a way to attach the tent to the plywood. The ladder in the video is perfect because it folds up nicely. I've got one. 4. Have extra paracord and stakes on hand. This way you can anchor the tent to the ground to keep it on your rack 5. After you try it out and it works, then paint or waterproof the plywood. 6. Waterproofing the seams. Get 100% silicone caulk (small tubes about $8) in a cup lined with aluminum foil put in minearl spirits or paint thinner, Naptha I'm told works best. Mix up the caulking with the solvent. Get the brushes in the plumbing dept. 4 for $2 they're called Flux Brushes. Doesn't have to be perfectly mixed. Paint the seams with it. Works absolutely the same as the kits sold at REI. Been doing this for many years. The best tie downs for a tent is nylon grosgrain sewn with long gussets. Some of these in the middle of the rain fly sides make really great tie points for wind. Get some cheap bivy sacks. You can put your sleeping bags in them so any blowing rain or cold is blocked. Hope this helps.

    I'm not an EE, but it seems to me that for the first stages of testing modules, you could do them in blocks of 2, 3, or more with appropriate voltage. You could then read individual voltages to spot a module that's suspicious. Could save a lot of time in getting to the next stage. I would also read resting voltages a day after charge and/or discharge to see how they hold. Thank you for these videos!

    Hi Steve, My name is Truc, with a 2012 Prius C showing permanent code P0A80. I have watched your videos and am confused somewhat. But I admit yours is the best I have seen so far. The car was running fine (even with the code P0A80) prior to my attempt to recondition the battery modules. When I reconnect the battery pack, all the dashboard lights lit up and the car won't run and I don't know why. Could you please summarize all the important steps to correctly diagnose and recondition the modules to make the car run again? Thank you very much for your prompt reply.

    Fun fact: if you read the Venom ProQuad charger manual, you will see that the default setting for NiMH sensitivity is 7mv, not 5. That being said, is it better if it is set to 5mv? Then you are potentially at a risk of under-charging due to early termination. Maybe set sensitivity to 5mv and charge at 4A instead of 5? Idk… I’m new to all of this.

    Inspired by this video, I decided to open my failed control board on my 6 year old Frigidaire oven. Thought it would be a waste of time because I don't know alot about electronics. Looked at the relays first and sure enough there is a dark pin on one of the relays with most of the solder missing on it. Going to order the relay to see if I can fix it. Thanks for the tips on removing solder and installing a new relay.
