We’re offering our inexpert advice in all things automotive.
We might discuss your question on our podcast. Yes, this means that we’ve run out of ideas for episodes and are too lazy to do research.
Edit: Thanks for the questions everyone. We didn’t have time to answer all of them on the show but I’ll try to answer all of them on here. The episode probably won’t be out for over a month since we’ve got a backlog of editing to do.
Off the top of my head, shower thoughts style…
How does the tire air pressure sensor work in some new model cars?
Why the fuck does my windshield wiper blade make that horrible “squeak/fart/rending of the fabric of reality” sound long before the rubber on the blade looks fucked up and is there anything that can slow/eliminate the cause (that isn’t coating my windshield in KY jelly)?
What would be some causes for a new fuse be shot out of a vehicle’s fuse box when cranking?
wait like the fuse was literally physically ejected from the fusebox?
yyyuuupppp…
It’s a little gadget that they stick inside your tires that communicates to your car’s computer with a little battery-powered digital radio
I’ve used Rain-X spray on my windshield before, it’s supposed to make the windshield more slippery so that water runs off it more quickly, but I don’t know if it makes the squeaking less. If you end up going with KY jelly let me know what your results are. I also wonder if water-based lube in the coolant would make your water pump more efficient
My guess is there was some kind of arc flash
