well i havent had too many mess ups. mainly bc ive had my hand somewhat held in shop class. also because i go by the book. well heres my mess up i worked long long days at a shop i used to work at with a bunch of lifts, well anyways i was doing a brake safety inspect on a 06 grand cherrokke. first car of the day. found a couple bad things left it on the lift like i was told to because the manager wanted to call the coustomer and see what hed let us do. well end of the day comes 6 pm and i did the inspect at 7 in the morning and i go to move it, forgetting i pushed the pistions in the caliper i get in it turn the key throw it into reverse go to push the brake pedal all the way to the floor i panic push the parking brake and pump the pedal as fast as i could. luckily didnt do any damage to any other cars but scared me. another thing recently i did was i had a bad steerign column go bad and i got a junkyard one with keys. well instasll it go to stsrt it no crank no start. so i go and get another one thining bad switch right? wrong gm uses resistance values on these so i had to swap ignition cylinders :[ thats pretty much ALL i ever did wrong.

what would i look at for it. being stuck? or sticky?

[fordranger]

so what would i do to fix the switch being semi engaged

[fordranger]

no timing belt and it wasn’t too bad i hit a curb in the right frnto end pushed the wheel into the fender a little. and im thinking its fuel related for some reason

[fordranger]

i cant see where the ground is all i see is a connector

[fordranger]
