Now that all the "work" is done on the Buick we have to geek out on the PC to make all of the rest of it work. I know it is a total snooze fest because it does not involve a cutting torch but hey, it's how we fix cars now days I suppose. In this video I bring you along as I program the side detection modules on this Buick Enclave. Oh and we BS a lil and drive around town . -Enjoy!

    Has anybody found a way to protect these from salt, water, dirt, etc that won't pose a fire hazard to make them last longer?

    So everytime a side detection module is replaced, it has to be reprogrammed? Also is a Snap On Modis Ultra capable of reprogramming?

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars beckkl says:

    What would happen if you replaced it with out programming?

    You know Eric you and I have different child rearing strategies. I never remember talking about sticking up a store to my kid that young even joking. Red Bullยฟ Jiminy Crickets. Tell me how your kids turned out when they are 30 would you? My daughter is head nurse in surgery, and my son went 20 years in Air Force Intel. One time in Hawaii he gave his full intel report in Arnold Swartzenegger voice talk when everyone asked for it. So just saying I never told my kids growing up what I had stolen when young and never ever mentioned any street drugs I took. I was aiming for non criminal non lying adults. Not saying your method is wrongo bongo but I took it very serious my children's raising.

    I remember back in the day, and at nearly 55 I can honestly say that, 100k was the death โ˜ ๏ธ knell of anything on the road. Rot & rust everywhere, interior likely trashed. Only good thing was they sold for a couple hundred bucks so three, sometimes five cars a year wasn't strange. Buy 'em dying and drive until you need to put a round in the ECM, a mercy killing as it were.
    I was weirded out at cars down here in Florida, as long as you didn't live beachside cars go 150, 200 even more. I chat with fellow Hyundai Accent owners and there's some seriously high milers out there. Me? I'm just the opposite. Maintain the hell out of it (free lifetime oil changes, woot!) but don't go anywhere. I put less than 2k miles on it last year. Bought an '07 in '12 with 27k on the clock, just rolled 49k last week. I literally am the (not so) little old lady that takes it to the grocery store once a week.
