Trey putting full jars of money in your trash bins that might help.

Or just quit putting rocks in your trash bins.

Many times during the troubleshooting of a problem, the mechanic has to reset the computer in the vehicle, in order to clear all the trouble codes. To do this requires the battery to be disconnected, then re-connected after waiting long enough for the voltage to bleed off. This also has the effect of clearing the clock setting and the station memory on the radio. There is one 12 volt wire going to the radio that is always hot, i.e., connected straight to the battery, that powers the clock and memory. Another 12 volt connection goes through the accessory switch you operate with the car key. Is that clear? When I take my car for service, I'm not that particular about the settings, but you can always take a second to write the settings down, BEFORE you have trouble.Keep it in the glove compartment or your wallet.
