So, got the call today from the Alain show, and they want me to manufacture a new effect -- which I'm not going to describe here.
I had the heads-up on this last week, so I'm a bit prepared.
Today I need to put together a proposal and e-mail it to the producer.
This will be fun!
A year ago or so, my truck (a Ford Ranger) had the MOST ANNOYING problem EVER... when I closed the door, the dome light and door ajar indicator would not turn off. The dealer said it would be a pain to fix and a Google search didn't turn up anything of use. A browse through the truck repair manual didn't help, either.
It went away.
Two weeks ago, it came back.
THIS time a Google search came up with a low-tech fix -- hose the latches in the doors down with WD-40 to fix a sticking sensor. Turns out this is a very common problem with Fords, and not just their trucks.
Not having any WD-40, I hosed all four door latches down with Liquid Wrench. I then cycled the doors a few times and then added some more lube.
A miracle! It all works perfectly now.
Of course, the cab smells like solvent... but it's a small price to pay for working door sensors.
