Getting warmer, 61°F at wake up making it to a high of 68°F.
After breakfast Lyn headed over to the laundry for her weekly visit, and I set about doing some work on the truck.
The hitch on the back of the truck that the trailer connects onto is held in by four connectors that rotate to lock into position. When we left Ottawa I put the hitch into the back of the truck on a -20°C day with 2ft of snow on the truck bed. I was able to rotate 3 of the 4 locks into place, but the 4th wouldn’t lock. As there was no trailer being towed it wasn’t a big deal. Once we got down here I found that the 4th lock rotated into place with no resistance! I guess the cold and the metal contraction was the problem. Now I had to adjust everything to ensure all the locks did their job. It wasn’t a hard job, just time consuming.
This afternoon’s work was an attempt to fix one of the side mirrors. The mirror on my side could not be adjusted electrically although the turn signal and the mirror heating worked fine. After a few hours of taking the door panel off, taking the mirror off, checking out the voltages from the switch to the mirror all I can say with confidence is that it doesn’t work. From the way it failed I suspect that the problem is a broken wire within the extension arm on the mirror, unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a way to disassemble the arm to get at the wiring. I asked for help on one of the truck forums as to how I could disassemble the mirror, so far the only response I have received is to use a hammer!
