This week, part 2 of the MW electrical primer series comes with real- life electrical frustrations from 4 different clients cars as well as electrical challenges of my own. One clients repair was a simple fix with just an easy to find broken wire. Another may have totalled the vehicle from a dash fire which resulted from a parking lot mishap and power mirror wiring damage. The third failure got a mother and children stranded in the middle of nowhere because simple, basic maintenance had not occurred on the battery connections. As for the 4th problem child, it is still under investigation for very strange but isolated behavior in the power window circuit.
Reliable electrical power generation, storage, and distribution in cars is fully necessary these days, but one small issue can lead to a range of failure modes resulting in all manner of results from minor frustrations to catastrophic large-scale system meltdowns, fires, and eye-poppingly painful repair bills or replacement costs.
The mission of MachineWhisperer is to act as a resource for the exchange of knowledge in maintenance, diagnosis, repair and upgrade of most common machines.
In direct opposition to a 'throw-away' society: through knowledge, empowering people to interact with machines in a new way to reduce resource use and abuse.
Together, lets find the path of least environmental, economic, and social damage while allowing machines to assist us in living better for longer.
