The irony is that had you just been able to follow directions, you wouldn't have needed to post at all. Those resources have helped MANY other folks without any assignment of value or request for or offer of payment. THAT is the true value of the work, but I doubt you can understand that.

You came here already knowing what your problem was and thus knew better than anyone trying to help you. Your delusions about your own competence and your lack of understanding of your own reality ("battery has never been replaced") necessitated nearly 50 posts of pollution that add no value to the forum. Ultimately, we had all the answers to resolve your problem, and you had nothing to contribute but strife.

You still cling to the idea that $100 holds any meaning to contributors. Maybe the others will accept, but it violates the spirit of places like this. You've tried to make it transactional. I hope that's not how you are with most of your relationships.
I continue to find this amusing how you attempt to change narratives to suit your argument that literally holds no ground. I "cling" to the idea of the payment holding any weight? I barely brought it up. Are you that delusional that you have already forgot that you dedicated an entire post to the disrespect me offering less than what a shop charges for this repair while continuously exaggerating what dealerships would charge for charging the battery, makes you feel? Lmao. You're literally a clown.

And I acted as if I knew exactly what the issue was? Yup. So you must have also missed the dozen times I admit I'm not mechanically inclined. This guy is seriously an ignoramus.

Keep expecting people to kiss your feet for your expertise on a forum for $0 and get mad when someone doesn't pay you dealership rates for your 20 minutes of condescending ignorant desperate for appreciation posts. And keep referring to $50 for your less than 20 minutes of typing as minimum wage. Didn't know Biden raised the minimum wage over $100 per hour. 🤣

Three words: delusions of grandeur.

Note to readers: This is coming from a person begging for free advice who can't remember to take photos of the thing he took apart so he remembers how to put it back together without extra parts laying around, but he's got a lot of advice for others about how they should talk.

Note to readers: this is coming from someone who can't take an objective stance because him and I communicated perfectly fine but since he's a sideline cheerleader he feels the need to completely shift his narrative about how I've been communicating with folk on the forum because he needs to solidify his relationship with his clown *** ringleader.

All I read in his response was: "Don't make fun of my boyfriend!"

I wonder what color pom poms he's thrusting around. 😂

The moderators should not allow this to continue.

Yup. The mob mentality shifting of narratives and falsified accusations definitely shouldn't be permitted. If the mod is even somewhat reasonable I'm confident they'll see this quarrel is literally none of your business and all you're doing is escalating something by chiming in on something that had nothing to do with you when I had been more than respectful to you.

****, guys. Remember, it's the internet. For me its about fun. If someone gets whatever with me online it doesn't really take me one way or the other. This isn't a bad breakup.

Right now you should be checking whether your battery is dropping the next day and if so, hunting for a new one or selling the car. Your abs probably has to be initialized which can be done with forscan if you got the licensed version. There is a service function for pedal travel and asbuilts (configuration) can be written to it.

I second this.

The rest of the cheer squad decided to show up. 🤣 I second anyone without the competency to recognize that I was clearly respectful to both individuals "voting" but that I was "abusive jerk" should be banned for spreading misinformation and spreading a herd mentality which is detrimental to the culture in any environment.

​​​​Also, if anyone is illogical enough to second that it makes sense to use someone not knowing what they're doing as an excuse to ban them from a forum where people clearly come when they need help because they don't know what they're doing - they should lose all right to even share an opinion.

But you have absolutely nothing to worry about. My car is fixed. At the shop and ABS is being initialized today (I didn't need trouble shooting or a forum to receive they information since I paid a shop shop rates to diagnose - not shop rates for 20 minutes of typing. The nonsensical nature of some of these imbeciles is literally laughable.
