Use a garden hose to douse the area where you think the leak is and see what happens. Then seal the area with the wrap to see if it stops so you can pin-point the leak.

I'll bet a 32Gb thumb drive will hold more CDs than you'd ever dream of. 32Gb is a popular size but bigger ones are coming out all the time - they're not needed. I've got 2700+ songs on mine and it's no where close to being full - about 12Gb used. Each song takes up 5 to 8Mb at 256kbps sample...

Now all you have to do is keep swapping disks every few minutes. Even with a 10 CD changer in my motorhome, that got old really quick. Have fun keeping with those CDs. Copying all those songs to a thumb drive is the only practical way to go in my book.

I've got a thumb drive in every vehicle and a couple of micro SD chips in headphones for when I'm cutting the grass (or to block the sound of the TV when my wife wants to watch something I don't care for) and little boomboxes to play while I'm outdoors putzing around. I love my Great Golden Oldies!

My music purist friends recommend 256k quality. It uses a little more disk space but that hasn't been a problem. Most songs use about 6-8MB of disk space. I've got the media player set to spit out the disk when it's done. The songs will go into a folder with the name of the album. If you're...

You can still find "Windows Media Player Legacy" around. Load it up on your laptop with the CD you want to "rip" in the drive. I stop the CD from playing while I'm ripping it. The menu bar should show a setting of Rip CD. All the songs will become MP3 files in the directory you choose in...

Have you tried the procedure to "reset" the TPMS? I've used this a few times to reset my HHR and my Malibu. Get the console in the right condition and the horn will honk twice. Start letting air out of the driver's side front tire till the horn honks and then move to the passenger side...

You need to have your car scanned by a good quality scanner. The $10 ones won't do. There are multiple computers that register error codes. Once you get the error codes read, they will point you to what caused your issue. Make sure your battery is in tip-top shape first.

That's what I've done with my song collections. I've got over 2700 of my favorite songs on a thumb drive plugged into the USB port. That's more music than I could hear if I played it 24 hours a day for a week. It's beautiful! The station never fades so don't have to search for another...

Batteries in good condition are critical for all the computers in these things to work correctly. Have the battery checked and clean-up those connections to start with.

What does your Equinox owner's manual say about the USB port? It must not furnish power to connected devices. Does anything light up or can you tell if the CD spins when it's plugged in? I don't know what else to say.

Something's telling me it's not powered through the USB cord and needs a separate source of power. Did it come with any cords at all? Does the CD spin? (sometimes you can see it come to a stop when you open the lid)

Did the CD player come with any instructions about how to connect it?

Take the tire off and use a ruler to measure the diameter of your rotor.

It might require a separate power source.

I like to the pump say this is "Top Tier" gasoline. https://www.toptiergas.com/about-top-tier/#why It's supposed to keep your engine cleaner. I always try to fill my tank a Costco for economic reasons and I see their pump have the Top Tier label on them.

Have you tried having it "scanned" for trouble codes with a good code reader? That's the best place to find out what it's trying to tell you.

Unless you've got some a/c tools, I'd say take it to someone that does. I've had several new compressors leak refrigerant at first and after a few thousand miles using the a/c, they're now holding the charge. I wouldn't have believed it, but I haven't added any refrigerant to them in a couple...

The wipers and filters are something you could have done yourself and saved a lot more than those coupons. It pays to DIY whenever possible.

In my copy of the 2020 Equinox owner's manual on page 260, it has a chart of the GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating) for figuring out how heavy the trailer can be. The owner's manual is the final word on weights for safety.
