Turn Signal Lever.

Wednesday i decided to go to Beaverton Police to make criminal complaints regarding the situation described in the two previous entries, Computer Age Auto Service and Easter 2008. That night i only slept about 4 hours and i was very tired. When i left from the parking lot i realized the turn signal lever was broken, it was still working but very big play and when signaling left the windshield wipers were turning on. I went yesterday to Steve, my mechanic at Lucky Autobody in Beaverton and he said only the parts are more than 300 dollars, money i don't think i have to spend.

Wedndesday at the Police Station in Beaverton, around 9 AM i picked the phone in the hallway and told the dispatcher what i was there for. They dispatched an officer name Rountree?. I also had in my pocket a sample of the padding from under the carpet that is smelling very strong like chemicals to show to them.

In the Police hallway there was this long line with people that were paying fines and a tall African American officer with badge number 614 that later said he was officer Chris Warren who also looked like a known celebrity. After waiting for more than 20 minutes, no policeman showed up sent by the dispatcher and officer Warren took me to a room downstairs near the hallway and took my complains. Basically i was complaining that two different celebrities, before and after 2000 as described in the linked above were impersonating other people pretending they were living in this area and having business like auto shops or fence building around here. In the end he threatened me with putting me in a mental facility and called the Victim Assistance Person who turned out to be yet another celebrity look alike, a blonde female, not very tall, with a round face and blue eyes, just under 30 years old. But they changed their minds after i told them the story with dr.Sigurtsson.

My place, post date

Last year (2011) @ July 4th i wanted to change the padding from under the carpet. I removed the carpet and the padding. I tried to use some pet enzyme to remove the smell from the padding and almost died from the smell. Then i went to a store on 72 near 217 in Tigard and bought a big roll of a new padding. The new one was pink in color. After removing it from the transparent plastic cover, it was smelling worse than the one i had. I took it back to the store but it wasn't until several month later after i made a call in Tillamook? when they returned my money, @70 dollars. Couldn't find a less smelly one even at the Tigard Lowes or Home Depot.

Last Monday i ordered a used turn lever and switch at Foster Autoparts/LKQ in Portland for 100 bucks (spoke to a guy Enrique Rodriguez). At dealer they said it was 330. (Later i discovered they had it at Autozone for 160). Wednesday i got it at the door. It was full of dust and had a piece of electrical tape holding a wire probably from the manufacturer. I cleaned the dust and took the tape apart and put a new one. Didn't open it inside. Didn't modified anything. But on the label it said ISUZU Hombre 1998. I didn't know Isuzu made vehicle similar to S10s.
Thursday i went at Lucky Autobody. They replaced the lever and switch and suddenly the car became easier to steer. Less play in the steering column and more responsive. But it does strange things while using DRL (vehicle is made in Canada) and yesterday after a full day of shuttling between Lucky Autobody, Les Schwab where i had an appointment for re-replacing shucks under warranty and see what's wrong with the brakes (it pulls to the left while braking, brakes done at Les Schwab a couple of years ago) and NAPA i discovered the my DRL lights use the high beam lamps put in series at 6 volts each but it burns out the DRL diode probably because of the new switch. It works fine but with glitches. The new diode i bought today shows open (when i bought it showed 50 ohms one direction and open the other), the interesting part is when i take it off DRL don't work anymore and think to keep it that way without DRL. But i am too used at night it turned on the headlight automatically on low beam... But asked for the lighting diagrams at the CARR Chevrolet dealership today and they gave them to me and i'm going to try to troubleshoot it and restore the functionality as it was when i bought it.
