The Chariot’s Blower – Wrap Up
This won’t take long.
This is how I left things the day before. Embarrassing that I left such a mess..
All that’s left to do is splice in a new connector for the resistor network, test the blower, then put everything back together.

New connector spliced in..

Close up view. I’ll spare you any further details..

Change of subject. The dealer said the car had one previous owner and that the dealer did all the servicing. The salesman showed me the sticker on the corner of the windshield that showed when the oil was changed and at what mileage to do the next one. Hmmm…
.
Today’s small car engines work very hard. While pulling the Trax up a busy interstate on-ramp, for example, each cubic inch inside that engine produces as much power as 1.6 horses. Amazing..
.
Chevy says the engine computer keeps track of how much work the engine is doing every few seconds and uses that data to determine when the oil should be changed. The dashboard suddenly tells you in plain english to change the oil. It’s not by a calendar or miles. Yet there’s a useless sticker on the windshield.
.
One look at that cabin air filter makes me wonder about the oil. I’ll probably change it soon just to be sure.
