    Living in Florida, I can fully understand and believe this. We have a serious problem of squirrels chewing our car wires.

    I'm glad you got the AC back, Ellie. If it gets any hotter here, I have to move to Alaska.


    I've been Boo'd...
    Thanks Barry!

    Gee whiz, that much for a service call? Not "user friendly" are they? But it was a week end..

    That capacitor is what went out on mine the first time it went out, the second time he said was probably because they didn't connect the capacitor secure enough because a wire was just loose on it so that was a free visit..

    That's why they call computer glitches "bugs" as long ago, a fly got into the system and shorted out one of the first computers!

    Glad to hear you got the system back up & running. The earwig is a bug around here that is drawn to electricity & people have had trouble with them. They smell horrible when a person squashes them. It must be all the rainy damp weather we have had to bring them on.

    RIP little bug.

    Glad to hear you are cool again.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Yes - earwig - that's what it was. I just couldn't think of the name of it yesterday.
    And funny thing for it not being common to get a bug on the contacts---a guy my son works with had the same thing happen.

    D&D, a couple of years ago I had an episode with MICE chewing through my car wires! At the time I owned a 2007 chevy cobalt and when I was going to church one sunday, I found I couldn't shift out of low, use the acceralator right or use the car very well. I made it home and my brother nursed the car over to the nearest chevrolet dealer and that's when we found out about the chewn wires! It wasn't under warranty, darn it!
