  1. In response to the responses and the tangents then went upon, along with the general responses regardless, wow this is getting complicated I know lol. On work force conditions and to include all things, there has to be that balance where it's fair for both sides, union or not and this is really what it's about. It's and when it's imbalanced is where this is a problem and that debate comes into play. Find that balance and do not mandate some cookie cutter system and you should be fine, but give yourself some breathing room on both sides should things not go exactly as planned. Honestly, building a car or otherwise is not some giant leap forward landing a rocket on the moon, it very much can be done and the staff is already trained and geared up to take care of production makes it a no brainer. They can start small, just build one car or even a motorcycle, something, else it's a waste of talents and skills, at least try. The SBA, Banks, all normal resources were just decimated during the housing crunch, none of them had any interest in new start up's and none to this day have any interest in bailing out a failing operation, so no, grabbing some loan like the rest as a small business was never there, but the bigger places, including the banks themselves got a giant hand out in access to capitol that the rest of us never had, take not of the very many vacancies and boarded up retail spots during those dark times. The current scene is hopeful and on loan land, you had better watch your tail because many sharks are in the waters these days looking for prey so be very tactful upon if you are a small business owner. I very much know if these guys got together and started their own thing, they would put GM through their paces, and as stated with other posts, let GM sink or swim on their own merit, not on some tax payer based loan, interest or not, we don't get that in small business land, and neither does the non business owner with their own.
  2. I constantly hear of these huge lay offs from all of the American car companies and it really boils down to leadership mismanaging the company. As a business owner myself, I know how it works to build a product and take it to market on any scale, and if these guys cannot handle keeping up with the trends and times, they have no excuses. There is nothing stopping all of these laid off staff from creating their own car company, they have all been trained, geared up towards and it's more of a matter of recreating their current jobs with new backing. I understand it can be difficult when the economy is not roaring, but right now it's hemorrhaging, to the point there is a lot of new capitol floating around may investors and business owners could be utilizing towards new start ups like a new employee owned car company. I would start out focusing on a largely neglected demographic, the younger millenials and produce simple, cheap, but reliable commuter vehicles. When I say cheap as in under $4k, and only meant to get them through the bulk of their 20's without needing to recycling them. Most drive vehicles in that range already since they are delegated to used vehicles only. One would also want to add into it factory financing that is very realistic for most of them to handle, for typical situations it's too far out of their reach. When these big companies had their bail out's from the government, it bothered me to no end, for there are no bail out's for small companies. It would be fitting their lay offs create new competition, and it would be even better if none of the big operations had bail out's and were forced to either break up into smaller companies or get out of the game all together.
  3. On the firewall passenger side you will see a removable plastic cover, it will be labeld junction block in raised plastic lettering. Remove the panel to get access to the wiring harness located to the right of that. The harness is covered up with plastic electrical shielding, hiding the wires. Open up the shielding to expose the tan with black striped wire. Mine has a fused link as I am sure the rest do that can be easily disconnected.
