The past few days had been filled with car troubles. From a Honda 2002 Oddysey with a transmission problem to a 2001 Toyota Sienna with a faulty ignition keyhole. Obviously with different problems. But come to think of it both cars looked good and absolutely in good working condition prior to their sudden "lock down". Most people think that using cars is all about having a nice ride about town, painting the neighbourhood "red", getting the most expensive aesthetics and powerful audio visuals to excite on lookers and so on.
Basically, owning a car, or driving one for that matter goes beyond the leg-to-pedal propulsion that we engage in everyday, it is a culture that has come to stay, right from college, young fresh men and women already have the knowledge of major brands of automobiles, driven on so many roads and of course, many more would have found it a gruesome the daily inspection and walk around that's required for all automobiles.
Your car is a machine, it has a heart,(engine) the soul/Mind(ECU) and a body(Chassis). It is from here that most people get lost in the world of automobiles. From here, some quack artisans could then become very easily convinced that the charges on the vehicle were way below obtainable charges. What am I trying t tell you here with all my intro? Simple, you must know your car by yourself. Know its basic operating components so that you will not totally be at a loss and at the receiving end when your car "misbehaves". It is not enough to trust mechanics or technicians completely with the care of your car. For instance, If they make an adjustment to a position switch that ought not be tampered with at all and you ignorantly and desperately out of your sheer 'intuition' that it could work and bridged a circuit thereby causing a potential difference to be generated across an insulated region, that alone could bring up the car into flames.So, my advice is that car owners should learn some basic rudiments of their cars, the functions and basic understanding of how some of the components behave under certain circumstances.
Next time I will discuss in details the problems of the two cars that I had to go up'against'.
Well, till then have a safe and a productive week ahead. Cheers
