    My 92' Firebird that I just acquired will not start. I bypassed VATS security with resistors so the security light now shuts off. I replaced my positive battery lead that was shot and the only thing that happens when I turn the key is the temp gauge fluttering. The relay only has 0.5 constant...

The mine is an underground mine/decline, but the...

    Security Light Component Fail

    Hi - today I was called to take down a 50W motion detecting security light that was always on. Rather than just bin it, I’ve cut the sensor open and found the charred remains of some-component-or-other in it. A smoking gun, you might say. What do you think the toasted component was? It might’ve...

    Removal of a security

    I bought my ageing Ford F150 with an aftermarket security device, a relic called AVITAL 2100. It has given me exceptional grief and I decided that it is best simply removed.
