Hmmm... feels like a good time for an update. It's been a while.
I didn't have class this morning (actually, Tuesday morning) because it's lab week in athletic injury prevention & care, and I signed up for Thursday. So I slept in until like 1:30 PM, and then I ate lunch and stuff. I also decided to go try and figure out what exactly is wrong with the horn in my Mustang, because I tried replacing the fuse on Friday night, and it shorted out. So I did that. I noticed that the one horn had already been disconnected, so I disconnected the other one, then put a new fuse in. Made a few clicking sounds, but didn't short out! Tested out the cigarette lighter (the horn, cigarette lighter, and cruise control are all on the same fuse), and it worked! So I went to plug in the other horn that had been disconnected, but it would start blaring every time the connector made contact. After searching on StangNet for more information on this, the problem appears to be that the horn button is collapsed. There's supposed to be a thin piece of foam that separates the two metal things, and that wears out over time (for example, 17 years). People fix it by putting various materials such as cotton balls, paper towels, and foam action figures (yes, someone did this... foam snowmen, to be exact). So I took the horn button off, but wasn't sure where to place the paper towel. But now I know, so I'm going to try again tomorrow. Wow, I hope I didn't bore you guys with all of that, lol. I thought it was funny, though.
Also had a Microeconomics test at 8:20. I didn't do as well as I hoped, so I'll just have to ace the final exam.
Oh, and tomorrow the door actuators for my Mustang get here. One step closer to restoring the power door locks!
