    Thanks for this video- I just had a similar one put in by a plumber. Not sure of the brand, it looks the same by mine has a red knob that allows for manual closing of the flapper. Unfortunately, the plumber couldn't do the concrete work. So I think I might try to do it myself- thankfully you posted this video. Where did you get the plastic housing?

    • @LoFiMofo
      @LoFiMofo 19 дней назад

      The plastic housing you are referring to came with my valve. The concrete work isn’t hard to do but the bags are usually 60-80 lbs each so be prepared for that and have a little more than you think you may need to do the job because you only have a limited time to work with the concrete before it starts setting up. Here’s a link to an access box similar to mine, you’ll see there are different sizes to choose from. Good luck, you can do it. 👍🏼 a.co/d/bWzLcUo

  • @mikesabin8568
    @mikesabin8568 2 месяца назад

    Continuity test through a relay is not a good test man…. Its not a loaded circuit. Electrical components can have good continuity and resistance and fail under load. If you wanted to bench test it, why didnt you power and ground the coil and add a power to load side and see if the other side of the load produces power when you complete the circuit through the coil? Now, sure it could be intermittent, so perhaps monitor the relay with volt meter or scope to see if it drops out when driving?

    • @LoFiMofo
      @LoFiMofo 2 месяца назад

      I did just that when i replaced the coil (relay) with a brand new coil (relay). The problem persisted so i knew the problem was something other than the relay, such as the relay socket and that was indeed the problem.

    Have learned to take the inside panel off, then grab the three bottom door panel clips with visegrips to back them up while you take off the 3 lower bolts. You have to grab the plastic, so just make the visegrips snug enuf you hold on. When you turn the bolt, the metal retaining clip will hit the visegrips and take the stress off the plastic car panel. Just make sure you have a grip on the visegrips while turning the bolt.

Remember, like i said in the video if you are going to get a replacement fuse box it MUST match the 4 numbers that are on the fuse box you are replacing. You can take it apart like i did and bend the prongs that the relay connects to but it’s not something you should do if you don’t feel comfortable. However, you may have a hard time finding the exact fuse box you need unless you order from GM, but that will be expensive. Not sure why some of your fuses wouldn’t lite up but if you start it after wiggling the fuse and all your accessories work then i would say you found the issue, which is the relay socket.

I don't want to say it was an intentional flaw, but I think through long learned patterns Ive seen, there is some short sighted understanding in the design field, and I wanted to share exactly what that is. I'm currently having the exact same issue with my G6 but it's the radiator cooling fan relay socket pins. The coolant fans have three modes (and three relays), and in the same manner of this video demonstration here, they will intermittently cut in and out using physical force, when the ECM is trying to energize the relays. Of course in my case, the engine temp rises and the car starts to overheat, the engine knocks and performance lags as a result. You don't want the engine heating above 200 degrees. Online information says that the car should technically run better, but I'm understanding from the view that we want to ATOMIZE, or MIST the gas into the engine, and not vaporize the gas prior to the intended ignition timing. These weakened pins are the result, or combination of two different things taking place. The first is that anytime there is an electric motor, the instant that relay clicks on, there is a mass surge on that circuit, which is going to stress the wire, fuse, any contacts, pins, and relays. In AC circuits, in design, we place a loading capacitor as close as we can to the motor to SMOOTH out this issue. In home dishwashers that cycle the motor off and on a dozen times per wash, the capacitor will PHYSICALLY move on the board during the initial surges, eventually BREAKING it's connections on the circuit board. Capacitors possibly could have been included on car fuse boxes to help this issue. Another factor that needs to be addressed is how electric motors can start to draw more than there rated amperage as they age. (stressing those circuits even MORE) You can actually find info online about this as well. They don't make this fuse rack in a way so that the top of the pin slots could easily be accessed with a micro screwdriver to bend the pins back, and that's a pain as well. You might wonder why the fuse doesn't pop if the amperage is being exceeded, and the issue here is that it's a momentary surge which those fuses are specifically chosen to IGNORE and from what limited info I can find about the ratings (at least in my coolant fans case) it almost looks like the fuse is way to high for the circuit, possibly because they just wanted a FIRE fuse, not a component stress or aging fuse. So in my case, I will be swapping out the coolant fan with a new one, in addition to either bending the pins back or replacing the fuse box, if I can get a used one locally. I wanted to thank the OP for sharing all this work, to the degree that the box CAN be broken down, to be accessed and serviced, which obviously is a lot better than the dealer cost, and I will be using his knowledge to service mine as well. Hopefully my info helps several people, and just maybe, maybe, might make some changes in the manufacturing data base.

      Thanks for the reply. I agree, these fuses aren’t really designed for current inrush like in normal ac circuits for motors or compressors where we use time delay fuses to compensate for the 125% inrush, so these automobile fuses are more than likely oversized. Hope you have good luck fixing your issue. My G6 is still going strong, haven’t had another issue with this fuse box since i made this video.

    A wonderful, informative video. Mainline should use it as a step-by-step instruction video

      The title literally says Pontiac G6. My singing voice also sucks.

    All the speakers in my g6 are dead. I just watched your rear speaker video and said hell no... Figured id just do the fronts instead. Watched this front speaker install video. Wtf is wrong with GM! Every vehicle I've ever owned, I just pop the speaker cover off, unscrew 3 - 4 screws and screw in the new one! This is straight bullshit. I'm selling the fucking car, I've had it.

      I liked the look of the Northridge line better. The mat is still holding up great, no regrets about buying it and i still highly recommend it.

    The problem is the circuitry on the bottom of that fuse box when it gets hot out being under the hood there's a hairline crack in that circuitry and then it causes the automobile to stall and then it won't start until it cools down enough to where that airline crack will go back together then it starts it runs fine and then it keeps doing that over and over that's what it is it's the circuitry on the bottom of your fuse panel you got to take that fuse paddle out and solder it or get a new fuse panel

      Although some do have a crack in the wiring In my case it wasn’t a crack in the board or the wiring, it was the socket where the relay seats had spread too far apart, as explained in the video.
