    Well i found the source of my coolant leak (big crack)

    I thought I was crazy when the dang thing wouldn’t come off when removing it righty loosey but I figured out the dang thing is tight which is good for it not falling off but bad when trying to remove it

    Well i found the source of my coolant leak (big crack)

    I missed a spot my leaking is exponentially better so I’m gonna attack the spot I missed another day, for now it’s a drip and not a leak it’s holding almost full pressure just a small pinhole where I didn’t touch the gun.

    How to fix HVAC control Panels with faulty switches
