yes here we are again. I just got pwned with some knowledge by some people with a problem with their horn.
pwner: "i was wondering if you had a stearing wheel or the guts that go in the horn location i can buy off of you."
pwnee: "do you mean the horn pad inside the airbag? I have a couple of those"
pwner: "Im not sure i need the whole center where the jorn is stationed from what the macanic is saying. The horn just goes off randomly when its not even being touched. I had to take the sensor out of it to get it to stop."
pwnee: "this person does not sound like they know what they are talking about."
pwner: "He didnt even look at the car i just explained it to him and he suggested i reach out to you to get the parts for the whole center compartment of the stearing wheel just to be safe."
pwnee: (wtf does that even mean? the whole center compartment of the stearing wheel? ffs)
"based on the way you say he describes these things, I would not have him do the work on the car"
pwner: " i woukdnt feel comfortable touching the airbag ive had enough head injuries i dont want it to hit me because that would be my luck"
pwnee: "i understand your hesitation about working on the airbag. Based on his description though i would not have this person do the work"
pwner: "Ok thank you for your opinion on this and i will take it all into consideration, but one way or another i would still need the parts no matter who would work on it. I have had the worst couple of days and just needed an opinion on how to stop the horn from going off at 2 am this morning. He was the one available. I would love the parts how much would you charge me to have them shipped here."
"Also sorry if i dound hostile or mad in any way i dont mean to take it out on you at all im just trying to solve a problem"
pwnee: "i just want to make sure that the person who does the repair is competent"
so far everything is mostly business as usual. I deal with hearing a lot of things which don't make sense and hear a lot of bs told to people from these so-called mechanics. Unfortunately both sound like they know very little if anything about the parts involved in this system. The lol is coming up and i guess i am getting pwned because somehow i don't know how all this works. The part was sent and received by the pwner. A few days later i get a new message.....
pwner: "Ok so can i get the airbag as well for the car."
pwnee: "i don't have an extra one available right now but you don't need. Only need the horn pad. If you have someone working on it telling you that you need the complete airbag then have someone else work on it because they don't know what they are doing and may make things worse."
"i dont want to sound difficult but i don't want to see the airbag blow because someone is winging it"
aww damn, here comes the real pwnage. We're about to find out what happened to the horn pad. This is the main reason i have to document everything because this phenomena will be nice to know to be able to explain it to someone the next time they have a horn problem
pwner: "I hit the horn so hard i basically got into an accident without having the airbag deploy. Thanks for trying ill find an airbag somewhere else"
pwnee: "this is not how the airbags work. You cannot really hit it hard enough with your hands to set off the airbags. If that is how it was explained to you then that information is wrong.
pwner: "Ok i dont shit about in correct information anymore i want all the parts that go inside the stearing wheel and maybe a new stearing wheel with parts in in already to change everything out. This who is wrong and where is stressi g me out to the point i just want to total the car. I started out wanting to just replace everything to be sure and now i just want to destroy it all. Im so tired of everything. I want it all replaced or im just going to stop driving in general. This back and forth of whos wrong is stressing me out more then i wanted."
just thought i would share in case any of you have an issue with the horn pad
