2009 ptcb batteries

2009 Vstar 950 Tourer seems to have a bad battery. It sits a lot and I have to keep jumping it off. For longer rides, I was ok to crack it back up and come home but for short rides, I needed to jump it off again.
I then blow the main fuse, after replacing it I can't get the bike to drive more than a few blocks and it shuts off mid-ride. Put it on the batter tender and still all the same results.
Was suggested to run a conditioning cycle but I thought maybe it was just time to get a new one. Less maintenance needs the better and it's not in a place to leave the tender on when parked. So I'm thinking ion upgrading but is it worth it? I also would be looking for a cheaper ion is that worth it? Or just replace it with an alike battery? any suggestions?
Thanks. ✌️

Hi everyone! I really don't know anything about cars and I haven't been driving very long, but I have acquired a 2009 Hyundai Elantra from my uncle a couple years ago and while it's been pretty decent, just needed a new antifreeze hose and battery, now the shifter is getting stuck.
It was put into park, but apparently didn't actually shift, so when I tried starting the car today, I got nothing - no clicking, there was a slight hum for a couple seconds, but no sounds of a normal car starting. I guess it was stuck in neutral because I could literally push the car to move it. When I tried shifting out of park, it would not move. My dad was able to get it out and it's "fine" now, starts up, goes into every gear, but the actual gear stick feels stiff. I had noticed it was feeling stiff once in a while too, but didn't know it was gonna become an issue and I'm pretty sure it'll become a problem again, and I've seen videos of other hyundai elantras having this issue with the cable under the gear shift area. If it turns out to be that, is that an expensive fix? I'm planning on calling a mechanic, but I don't wanna open a can of worms or whatever and break the bank on an older car and I really don't trust myself to attempt to fix this on my own.
Hopefully that was enough info, but please just let me know what your thoughts are on this or if you think it's even worth fixing. Thank you!

Nissian Murano 2009 Le. After driving around one day, I was idling in my driveway when I noticed my AC was going on and off. Shortly after I noticed that all the lights suddenly lit up on my dash. I attempted to turn off, then turn on the car, but when I try to turn it back on, lights flickered in the car made an odd noise. Slowly, the lights in the car began to dim and the car shut off with nothing but the headlights on. Slowly the lights in the car began to dim and the car shut off with nothing but the headlights on. I then jumpstarted the car (it then turned on) and the next day tried to take it to get its alternator and battery tested. I noticed the car was whining, and the steering felt off to where it was almost kind of jerking/shaking when turned. All in all it passed 2 tests in both places that checked said that the battery and alternator were in good condition. Id, then took it to a mechanic, but not even he could give me a definitive answer but told me the car was safe to drive. What should I do, and where should I go?

Richard Fairchild (1996-2023, lethal injection): Fairchild got into a fight with his girlfriend’s 17 year old daughter after making drunken sexual passes at her, and was enraged that she left with a cab driver. He took his anger out on the girl’s younger brother, 3 year old Adam Broomhall, and scalded him with a wall heater. He then repeatedly hit the boy, threw him against a table, and fatally hemorrhaged his head. Bromhall received over 26 blows during the beating.
120. Scott Eizember (2003-2023, lethal injection): Eizember snuck into his ex girlfriend's house to lie in wait for her. However, her roommates, 76 year old A.J. Cantrell and his 70 year old wife Patsy, arrived home earlier then she did. He shot and beat them both to death and then fled the scene.
121. Jemaine Cannon (1995-2023, lethal injection): Cannon was put in prison for assaulting an unidentified woman. He managed to escape and stabbed his girlfriend, 20 year old Sharonda Clark, to death in her apartment.
122. Anthony Sanchez (1996-2023, lethal injection): Sanchez kidnapped 21 year old Jewell Busken from her apartment complex, and then raped and shot her to death. He amassed a following from the anti death penalty movement for claiming that his father was responsible, but such notions were debunked following a 2023 DNA test that concluded Sanchez’s guilt.
123. Phillip Hancock (~1982-2023, lethal injection): In 1982, Hancock shot a drug dealer, 27 year old Charles Warren, dead in a dispute over stolen jewelry and was given a manslaughter conviction for it. He was released after serving a 2 year term. About 17 years later, he shot and killed 58 year old James Lynch III and 37 year old Robert Jett Jr. in a drug house. Despite an eyewitness account describing Lynch and Jett begging for their lives, the case attracted scrutiny when Hancock's attorneys claimed that the shootings were done in self defense.
124. Michael Smith (~2002-2024, lethal injection): A member of the Oak Grove Posse gang, Smith was responsible for two separate fatal shootings on the same day. In one of his murders, he killed Sharath Pulluru, a 24 year old Indian immigrant that worked as a clerk, while robbing a gas station. The other murder occurred when he tried to confront a gang member that he thought was a police informant in his apartment, and gunned down the target’s mother, 40 year old Janet Miller-Moore, when she refused to give away her son’s location. Smith was also given a life sentence for delivering a gun to a shooter that carried out another gang killing.

Anyone have one of these older kits sitting around? $10.

Hi first time poster here. My van starts and runs fine, but the srs light is on, therefore i tried scanning it with my fault code reader Icarsoft CR MAX. It finds some modules, it can read those codes such as ABS, and cleared that. But it cannot find the ECM nor the airbag module, it says it's not fitted
I removed the Battery which was replaced 2022, cleaned the poles and charged the battery over night. I removed the ECM and airbag module and cleaned the pins, I inspected the compartment fusebox and it's wires.
Still nothing, i cannot scan the ECM, i don't understand
Scanner: Icarsoft CR MAX
Vehicle: Citroën Jumper 30 2.2 HDi Manual, 100hp, 2009 with engine code: 4HV
Any tips?

Hi Guys,
Got a 2009 Mazda 3 Hatchback and recently changed the battery after flatting it(too much loud music when car is off and recent dashcam installation), followed instructions to a T(according to manual), and now since driving whenever I depress the clutch, I’ll get unusually low RPM’s below (lower than 500, sometimes it’s just a little smidge above 0), Check Engine/Battery/Oil light will come on, but will be fine once I’ve released the clutch.
Car will turn off if I’m slow enough (at intersection/roundabout) and have depressed clutch.
I’m the car’s 5th owner (been in the family from 2nd owner, so don’t know how the first owner used it and it that has had any play in the problems), has had engine replaced(2nd hand engine), new clutch, gearbox and brakes were installed around 2019/2020.
It has been a car that me and my brother have learned in, so lots of stalling, clutch riding etc.
Wanting to know what possible causes are, and approximation of price to fix (AUD$).
Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: Found out all I needed to do was a simple idle relearn, and she’s back to normal now :)
(For those who want to know how to remedy this issue yourself without searching for it, idle your car for a while (I did this for about 10/15 mins) with nothing on (aircon, lights, radio, cruise control, no accessories plugged, no turning of steering wheel, no depressing of brake etc.) then slowly turn everything on and plug in the accessories you’ll use, turn the steering wheel, depress the brake, and then let it idle for another 10/15, then after that take her out for a drive (again around 10/15) and that should clear everything up.
Have a good one guys!

Hey guys, not sure if this is supposed to be happening or not. I have a 2009 Pontiac G6 GT with 186k miles.. I recently did some work on the car and accidentally bridged the alternator positive out to the body, and burned up the cable to the battery. After replacing the alternator and adding another wire from the alternator to the battery (it’s an internally regulated alternator so this SHOULD work.) it fixed the problem but then I started getting issues with the lights on the dash would all light up randomly when driving, and the engine ran a little rough. So I checked to see the obvious, if there’s continuity between the body and the positive terminal .. sure enough there is. So when the battery negative is unplugged, there is continuity between the engine block and positive cable. However, there is NOT continuity between the negative cable and the positive cable. The block is grounded. This is probably the reason the battery light is coming on and why the car is running weird. Battery volts read 12.56v (terminal to terminal) and the body to positive is also 12.56v (positive terminal to body when battery plugged in)
Should I take it to an electric repair shop?

I have a 2009 Kia Magentis. Last Sunday, I was cleaning the interior of my car with multipurpose cleaner and sprayed it all over. Car was starting and moving no problem. Monday, I drove my car and the ABS light came on, but car was fine otherwise. Tuesday morning I go to start my car and it will not start, tried boosting, nothing. Won't turn over, no clicking, no lights on the dash except the light saying the door is open. Radio won't turn on, electric windows and car locks don't won't, and I cannot open my gas cap or trunk. Really nothing works in the car. Wednesday for shits and giggles I tried to start my car and it did, no problems, once I let it run for a bit and then eventually turned It off. A few hours later I go to start it again and absolutely nothing.
We know its not the battery, we've tested it multiple times.
We are thinking I may of fried something in the dash area while cleaning or fried the ignition. (Yes I have learned a very valuable lesson here on how to properly clean my car lol)
I am really trying to find anything to look into prior to bringing it to the dealership so any suggestions are welcome. Or if you think there is no saving the car, that is also welcome haha.

Just bought this 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 3.7L V6 I'd like some advice on where to begin with repairs - symptoms are no a/c, blew cold for 3days after refrigerant, revved itself in park with no acceleration or foot near pedal, dripping oil, smell of burnt oil after driving short distance, small amount of transmission fluid present near alternator.

Just crossed over 120k miles on my 2009 Sahara with only a small handful of issues. I spoke it out loud and brought this failure into existence. Out of nowhere my AC Compressor will engage, only blows like warm/hot air. I also noticed while looking under the hood my radiator fan was also not engaging at operating temp. I ended up replacing the radiator fuse, relay and fan assembly and it still will not turn on. Checked battery voltage and its good and pulled power for a while to try and reset the TIPM to see if it clear any weird state it might be in. After a lot of reading I'm thinking it's possible the two issues could be linked somehow but it's still a little vague on what to do to troubleshoot it.
I'd like to at least narrow down the issue before I take it in to an actual tech so I don't get raked across the coals. Any suggestions on what to try next or if there's anyway to get my AC compressor to engage to check the pressure to see if I have a leak?

I have a friend who has a 2009 monster that has been sitting for almost 18 months. He pays $250 a month for it to park and he's willing to just give it to me for $1,000. I assume this is a really good deal but I'm wondering what I should be on the lookout for. Any advice would be really helpful. It does have a salvage title but runs and rides completely straight. Is this even something I should consider?
Update: I got the bike for free but I'm definitely going to give home something. It's been sitting for a little less than a year, not 18 months, in a garage with AC and has a rebuilt title. Still no idea why but the frame and suspension look sold and straight but I'll confirm once I take it for a ride. Heading to pick it up next weekend since I couldn't get it started today due to the dead battery. Definitely needs new fairings but seems like a solid bike with 10k miles

I have the opportunity to purchase a 2009 Toyota Prius with 180,000 miles on it for $3000. Just wondering if this is a good deal or not, given the high mileage. I test drove the car already and it ran great, the owner is a friend of a friend and looked like they kept in decent condition for its age. He said it hasn't been in any accidents, but has a ding on the passenger side door when someone doored it. He said he is still getting around 45 mpg on it and hasn't replaced the hybrid battery.
My company will actually pay $2000 towards the cost of a new or used electric or hybrid car so really my total cost would be $1000. Given the high mileage I don't want to purchase a car that is going to fail on me in a couple years time, but I heard Prius' can last a long time. I live in a city and I was looking for a beater that I can use occasionally for grocery shopping and a beach trip here and there, so I am not really looking to drive it too much.

TW for mentions of abuse and filthy living conditions . . . . . . . . . .
Is there anything I should know before I open my own art shop online? I really want to invest in a Steamdeck without putting my disability income at risk.
Before I begin, I want to be clear that I was classified as "high functioning" as a kid because that's the only label my area will ever use (they are more conservative and unopen to change). However my autism has somewhat slightly regressed as a result of living in squalor for the past 20 years and I've since moved to a nearby care facility due to unresolved abuse going on within my family.
I'm asking here in autism because I want to know everyone's thoughts as residents of the US who rely on disability checks for everyday survival. The entirety of my check currently pays for my housing on top of state supplements to cover the rest.
The back pay the facility owes me since October would be enough to cover the entire Steamdeck in one go, but at this rate it will probably take several years before they start paying all of us our $60 monthly allowance again (there's no guarantee of backpay either).
I thought about getting a part time job as a Walmart stocker to pay for it, but I have no transportation to get there from the facility and public transportation is restricted to medical appointments only. It's a very rural area, so I can't just walk or bike over there either.
It took me 45 minutes to an hour just to walk to the other side of town back when I was healthy enough to walk outside, and the closest Walmart is in another town entirely. The only way to make any kind of money at all is to sell my art online.
I'm thinking going with "print on demand" services so I won't have to do the work of shipping them out as the conditions at the facility are less than ideal and I don't want the orders to get stolen by someone else. The idea of commissions is too stressful and I'd rather produce pre-made fanart that people can buy for themselves.
I've just done the verification for Society6 and already had a Redbubble that's been sitting around for a while, but I honestly don't know which services to even use anymore. I'd obviously shut it down once I have enough to purchase the Steamdeck plus accessories and open it up around Christmas or my birthday so I can buy my own gifts.
Royalties don't really bother me as much I already have all my dietary and medical needs provided for. The only issue is that I can't make a single penny over $2,000 or they'll take away my income, which would lead to me being sent back to my parents roach infested hoarder house.
Both of my parents are really bad hoarders living in complete squalor and there's a lady in the basement who gets aggressive towards me. Not only has her hoarding attracted mice but her untrained, unfixed dogs have caused the place to smell rancid on top of all the pests.
My older sister treats everyone horribly without a boyfriend to keep her in check and her house is trashed. I haven't had much contact with her because of her attitude, but back when I used to go over there her house would reek of ammonia from all the animals to the point of getting massive headaches as soon as I stepped in the door.
It's just not safe to get an apartment due to all the deadbeats harassing everybody and my late pets have been occasionally threatened by many people in the past regardless of age. I don't have the capability to live on my own due to my trauma and Long COVID (which has caused my autism to regress) and need 24/7 supervision.
It's become a big trend to just be evicted for no reason and not giving tenants a reason as to why they're being evicted at all. Nobody is given time to justify themselves in court and are expected to pack up everything and leave within a matter of days before their property gets seized.
Even if I were to keep the place immaculate, I don't want to be caught in the crossfire and end up losing all my personal belongings for a third fucking time because someone in charge decides to be an asshole for fun.
Supported independence programs in bigger areas all require a Medicaid waiver and I've been told over and over since middle school that that I don't qualify instead of anyone placing me on the list and look for alternatives in the mean time.
I talked with a state representative and she said that additional funding would cut some of the waitlist from the due to everyone on there being unresponsive, qualifying for SCL (higher support needs) or moving on into facilities like the one I'm currently staying at. Most of the people I'm around are much older than me, so many of them end up passing away due to age or illness before they get approved.
Needless to say it looks like I'll be staying here a long while until things get settled. However, I'm so bored because all my consoles keep falling apart for no reason and it's not sanitary enough to bring out books without them getting stuff spilled on them.
None of my devices will stay connected long enough to play online games for more than a minute at a time, so that takes out half the games on my tablet. The screen on there is so big that I have a hard time pressing buttons, which makes it harder on me to play games anyway.
My DSi from 2009 finally had the WiFi card give out after 14 years of service. The 2DS XL I bought from a game shop on eBay fell apart after a month, and I can only guess that the WiFi card gave out on it too since it won't hold a charge anymore.
The battery on my secondhand Switch Lite would only thirty minutes to an hour on full charge and I was constantly having to hook it up to a charger when I went to group therapy. I don't even know if it's even worth replacing the knob because I have to hold it up to my nose to just read anything on the screen (that's with my glasses on).
My 2022 tablet got boring after just a few months due to all the ads constantly disrupting what little gameplay there is along with Google Assistant popping up out of nowhere with no way to turn it off or disable it at all. It's way too bulky at 10.4" to play anything on it and I could barely hold the thing up after the kickstand broke.
I'm having to download old APKs from sketchy websites because newer app releases have no functionality at all due to constant pop-ups every few seconds, ads layering on top of each other, and monthly subscription requirements.
There's nothing wrong with my Wii outside of the fact that it has goo on from where my father tried to Velcro it to the table, but the library of decent RPG style games is incredibly limited and Homebrew is more focused on older games from the 90's. I might try to customize it in case I have children in the future as it was given to me by my late grandfather, but other than that I have much use for it compared to other consoles.
The type of games I like are niche animal based games with 3D graphics, so they're all on different consoles with most of them requiring a subscription to really do anything. I don't want to purchase even more individual consoles just to play a mere handful of games on each.
I also want to be able to play my favorite android apps that have seemingly disappeared from existence and aren't compatible with newer technology. All these new security features make it impossible to jailbreak without putting my device at risk of getting bricked.
The Steamdeck is actually heavier than my tablet, but I don't intend on holding upright like a console as my overall grip is already pretty weak as is. It's is technically a PC, so I don't really see anything wrong with treating it as a mini laptop or using a tabletop stand when I'm out somewhere.
I was planning on docking it for the most part and getting a foldable keyboard attachment that would be compact enough to fit in a case until I can fix my 2DS XL. I'm mostly interested for the versatility between PC, Android, and consoles over portability.
All these broken devices are a lot to keep up with and would probably cost more to repair all of them at once than it would to invest in an all-purpose Steamdeck. Like, $300 is honestly worth it to not have to keep up with a tangled mess of wires, remotes, cartridges, and discs for each console.
Emulating all my favorite games on a Steamdeck would give me something to finally do during the summer since my parents are way too broke to take me swimming. I've already looked through other gaming PCs but they have very poor battery life for over double the price.
The rich side of the family who's living fancy off of stockpiled generational wealth and can easily afford these type items has treated my parents and I like trailer trash for the past two decades by handing us cheap junk that falls apart while spoiling the rest of the family.
I've already discussed wanting one with my family and they're practically drowning in bills to even feed themselves on a daily basis, let alone afford a refurbished one at $200-$300. I've practically given up on Christmas as everyone deliberately ignores my boundaries every time (even if it only involves something as simple as drinks and snacks).

Hi lads, I’ve been looking for a new batters for an old MaxBook Pro 2009 that I want to bring back to life. I’ve done a bit of research on the best replacement battery, but Amazon don’t ship batteries to Ireland.
Could anyone recommend a good battery, and suggest a supplier who will ship to Ireland please?

For example, something like a whoop drone, except maybe with a smartphone? But even those I'm not sure are manufacturer recommended age <14. As I saw, everything on the market is 14+ right now because of EU rules. That means nothing is a toy by EU directive 2009, and everything needs liability insurance up to $1m unless it can be used by kids under 14. Also don't really like batteries that can't be changed unlike RC toys where you can choose manufacturer + size of battery. Very limiting.
Any suggestions??

My fiancée inherited a Mountaineer from my parents. Only issue was that the digital display was faulty and didn't show text so it was near impossible to hook up her phone via BT or navigate radio.
I bought her a used OEM replacement, but I guess there were two part numbers under the same model number. The original unit appears to be a 8L2T-18C815-BF (24-pin, 16-pin, 8-pin) and may drive a subwoofer as part of their "audiophile" package (which I swear I didn't see when I tried to peek behind the plastic mesh in the trunk). The new unit is a 8L2T-18C869-AG (24-pin, 16-pin) so I have the 8-pin just hanging out behind the unit. It worked fine on install, but battery has been dying and I'm curious if this has caused it.
The only info I have been able to find on wiring that looks to be quite similar are these diagrams. Problem is I know next to nothing about electronic diagrams. Could this be causing the car's battery to drain or is it just by chance that the battery is shot the same week that I replaced the CD changer. I'm in Florida and it's been nearly 90-100 out every day for the past week, so maybe that has affected the battery. Not sure how old it is. I can jump it and run it, drive it around, but then it dies again if I turn it off.
Any help is appreciated and I'll do my best to give as much info as possible as follow up if necessary. Thank you!

Hi all! I'm about to pull the trigger on a 2009 Toyota Highlander Hybrid with 225,000 Miles for $5300. Car runs and drives well, good maintenance, new tires. Am I crazy for getting such a high mileage one? For that price, I figure even if it needs a $4000 new (remanufactured) hybrid battery soon, it would still be cheaper than a lot of highlanders - hybrid or not - that I'm seeing out there. But what am I missing? Thanks!
