    I have a weird problem. After my FOB battery died, I used my spare FOB for a few weeks. Then I changed the battery of the other FOB after figuring out how. But now only the lock button and the trunk button are working? Both buttons just unlock the car. They do nothing else. If I click the unlock button though, nothing happens. If I click both the lock and trunk buttons and hold them down for 10 seconds or so, this locks the car... no idea what is going on with the key, but my spare key is working just fine? So I presume the issue must be with the FOB itself? Has anyone had a similar issue and how did you solve it?

    I had to check out if your video is legit even after a few yeas old. First thing I see wrong is if you really care about cars or maintaining it, is that you lay down the wheel on the nice side of it that if not careful will usually scratch the finish on it. So that tells me you are just making videos for contents on legit car stuff but don't really care about them.

    Seems like the Waitley adapter might be a little more versatile since it'll work with more batteries like the Milwaukee and DeWalt flex volt. The USB port seems a little gimmicky but some might find it useful. I saw a youtube video where some guy took those tabs off the adapter, then he could use the flex bolt batteries. The thing I wonder about with either of them is I've heard that they might ruin your 20v batteries. That's just what I've heard. Maybe if you don't take the batteries off the adapter when you're done using it they say the adapter will probably discharge the battery. These look pretty interesting since i have a bunch of 18v tools and my lithium ion batteries i got for them years ago don't seem to have much run time any more. Might try one of these things.

    Conventional banks will not accept a loan on a car this old and a first-time buyer without any credit history. The only lenders available will charge a super high rate of interest. In addition, at least some of them will require gap insurance and an extended warranty as a condition of granting the loan. They also require LoJack, so the car is easy to repo when the customer fails to make payments. From the lender's point of view, these loans are exceptionally risky, so anything that reduces the risk to them would be necessary to make the numbers work.

    Another safety tip my Dad taught me is that especially if you are using a factory jack or hydraulic or any other jack for that matter, and don't happen to have a proper jack stand, that after one takes the wheel off the car, to put it under the car on the side that you are lifting, so that It acts as a safely stopgap and even if the car falls, it will not fall far, and also if one is caught under part of the car if this happens, it will not cause a bad day/week/month/year/life/death..
