+===== Car Won't Turn Over - Electrical Diagrams =====
+During August, 2024, Thomas and Eric discovered that the 2001 Nissan Altima would not start. I tried it some time later and it did start, but only once. Right away, I also put a jumper on the Starter Solenoid coil, and sending 12V positive would make it fire fine. This led to the conclusion that there was something wrong with the electrical wiring between the key switch and the Start Solenoid.

+===== Car Won't Turn Over again =====
+Had loaned car to Robert. In my front yard, the car wouldn't turn over when trying to start it. He said it also had been making noises. Problem turned out to be a cable had hit the cooling fan, severing the Black/White cable (which connects to the starter solenoid. Resoldering this, and zip tying the cable so it would stay away from the fan fixed the issue.

+===== Windshield Wiper Broken =====
+Robert said the driver's side windshield wiper stopped working, because it was frozen down. When he brought the car over today, the wiper is missing (he says he had to transfer it to another car?), and noticed that there is an A and a D stamped on the wiper arms. The D was on the passenger side, and the A was on the driver side. I purchased a wiper from O'Reillys (the 21 inch driver side, passenger is 20 inch) and moved the D wiper to the Driver side. I also stamped the motor-to-driver arm back into place. It tests fine.
+===== Paid Tab today =====
+I thought I had already paid the tab on this car, but when I went through the WA DOL site to pay it, it said that it was expired 6/8/2026 (and today is 7/4/2026). Paid it today, $102.

+===== Chris Britland got in accident with this car today =====
+Today, July 7, 2026, Chris accidentally ran into the back of a miniVan. He got a fine of $187 from Renton Policy for driving without being attentive.
+The battery got a small nick in it. The acid is slowly dripping out. I was able to bend the white sheet metal that the battery ran into mostly back into shape. I'm guessing that the deductible on my insurance for this collision claim is too high to claim insurance coverage for this car.
