    Thr squishy sound you hear is the brake master cylinder leaking internally and not the normal sound of pressurised brake fluid . The accumulator is suppossed to hold pressure for a couple more brakes pushes. It is not suppossed to get activated during all pedal pushes. The comforting fact is that it takes a lot driving, usually years until the master cylinder seals completely gives up and the dashboard abs warning lights with the beep noise comes up. Following this the brake accumulator will start working even when the car is idling until the motor burns itself up. Let me say this again, the squishy sound is not normal. Its your master cylinder slowly giving up. There are master cylinder rebuild kits available but if the rebuild is not done when you notice the early signs, even a rebuild cannot save the master cylinder and will require a replacement.

    so 3 years later, any issues come up? I have both the squishy sound and motor sound. I've had mine for 4 months and have noticed the motor sound just today. It happens exactly as you've demonstrated- every other depression of the pedal. But I've noticed mine when my engine was on. I noticed it first as I was parking. I put it in park and pressed the brake pedal a few times and that's when I noticed the pattern. Is your doing that only while the engine off? Or both? Thank you!

    • @LiL13izzy7
      @LiL13izzy7 28 днів тому

      It does it both while the engine is on and off (it's just less obvious when the engine is on because it's so loud). No issue 3 years later (everything you see in the video is normal)

      Green in this case, is meant to be connected to your power source (battery). If it was connected to negative, the circuit would not be complete, and therefore the switch would not work. Hope that helps.

    • @LiL13izzy7
      @LiL13izzy7 27 днів тому

      This is strictly a way to deliver electricity. Carplay requires a USB device that can transfer data to your stereo head unit - in which case you'll need to find a USB input into that. You can purchase some aftermarket solutions to help with that.

      The replica helmets are slightly smaller than the real ones. They also fit into specific holes in the real helmets, so you will likely not be able to fit them correctly. You can find them used on eBay though, and give it your best shot.

    I bought Wisconsin collector plates for a 3000GT, $200 plus a $75 registration (one time) fee. Since then I’ve spent all of 0$ from 2017-2024 to drive my car. The car cannot be driven in the month of January but it’s winter here anyway and it’s a sports car so it’s in storage. Commifornia truly has to be one of the worst states to be a resident of. I am sure it’s awesome to visit but actually residing there sounds horrible.

Given the FJ's 19 gallon tank, and the fact that the light comes on with about 4 gallons remaining till empty (15 gallons used), I divide 270 (which is about the most I can squeeze out before the light comes on) by 15 gallons, giving me 18.
