    The camp site you found was cool. I liked the "waterfalls". Very nice editing of the falls! You have an artistic eye. Jax seemed to enjoy his walk. Thanks for taking us along.

    It is my opinion that Jax is perhaps the coolest, worldliest, and most lovable cat in the entire world! What a lucky feline! So glad he has a loving human to care for him!! Also happy to see you're enjoying upstate NY!! It is a beautiful paradise! Soon the leaves will be turning and you will be in for a magnificent treat! Thank you for sharing your adventures!

    Tolls all over the north east Eric sometimes you just have to suck it up because it is just not worth going around because of fuel cost and time. I think the window switch is the problem. you are going to love the whole north east and the foliage is coming soon. And yes solitude can be awesome.

    • @jpinto9102
      @jpinto9102 8 років тому

      swtich. maybe.. another possibility is loss of lubrication causing it to stick.. spray WD40 down to the linkage in the door.. just sayin

  • @samwhite2152
    @samwhite2152 8 років тому +40

    Before you replace the power window motor check the switch. 1st pull the switch and push all the contacts to make sure vibration hasn't loosened them. 2nd take the working switch out of the passenger door and see if that works. if it does you know the switch is bad, if it doesn't then start checking the motor.

    • @blackhat4968
      @blackhat4968 8 років тому +3

      Yep, I was going to say check for loose/corroded wires on the switch, or dirty contacts in the switch. (Swap wires between the driver and passenger switches. to check them)

    Just two more things. First, they do tax us with the gas tax even though they also toll us. They probably even tax us in other ways too. It's just tax hell in NE. Second, be very careful walking through trails where you're rubbing against brush because we have deer ticks everywhere and they carry Lyme disease. They are very hard to see because they are only a little speck. If you aren't aware of these ticks it's a good thing to look them up on the net. Glad you are liking NY, you'll probably love VT and NH.

    I believe the window motor may have a thermal overload in its circuit. My 2000 Savannah does and if I hold down the down button while the window is going down it trips and won't come back up till it resets. Has done this since new. I have to bring the window down in increments (slowly).

  • @maynardcat
    @maynardcat 8 років тому +14

    Great video again and beautiful scenery. This is just a thought, but I noticed you walking on that narrow tall concrete wall, and you're in an isolated area with no service, if you fell off and injured yourself you may not be found for a while, just a word of caution, and something to think about when you're in isolated areas with no service of any kind.

  • @Tld0026
    @Tld0026 8 років тому +2

    Hey Eric, I know you've gotten allot of advice on the window. What happens is the grease in the tracks gets old and sticky. This causes the motor to work harder than it has to causing heat. The motor/or switches has thermal protection that shuts it off. if it works too hard. Once it cools it starts working again. Pull the panel and squirt something like white lithium grease in there. Or you will definitely have a motor/switch problem in the future. And it will burn up the switches too. Happy travels bro..

    Be sure to lubricate your window channels with silicone spray. A long time ago I was shopping for a new power window motor in my Maxima because I thought it was failing, but discovered that I needed to lubricate the channels. I had no idea that it could affect the operation of the window like it did.

  • @geezerscouter
    @geezerscouter 8 років тому

    Regarding your window problem, I had something similar. The window would go down but not always go up. I finally figured out it was the up/down switch in the door. I had to pay $140 at the dealer since I didn't have time to go check out the junk yards to find a similar van.

  • @dcourtad
    @dcourtad 8 років тому +1

    Eric.... on your iPhone 6 plus open the app called maps, it should show a blue dot where your location is. just touch the dot and it will open a window on the bottom of the screen called "my location" swipe up and it give you the LAT/LONG in decimal.

    Eric, skip the converter and input into google earth or google maps with spaces between the D M S like following:43 27 42, -76 31 32 (same as North 43°27'42.00", West 76°31'32.00")Place a comma after the latitude and remember to always put a negative (minus sign) in front of the degrees position if you're in the western hemisphere, which in the US we are. Also, if the digit is only one number (ie 6 minutes) place a zero in front of it as a place holder (06).If you insist on using the DMS in its precise format, do it as follows:43°27'42.00", -76°31'32.00" - This will work.Again, using the negative for western (and also southern) hemispheres. The degree symbol can be obtained by the simultaneous keystroke of ALT+248. (ALTERNATE key and 248 on the right side keypad. Using the numbers on top of the keyboard will not work) Google doesn't like north (N) or West (W).

    Hey Eric the problem with your window could also be the switch , especially if you used the express down (if equipped) could have stuck In the down position causing the terminal protection in the motor to go open until cooled off .

  • @alancyr2974
    @alancyr2974 8 років тому

    Hey Eric - For GPS decimal locations, all you need to do is zoom in anywhere on Google Maps and click your mouse once and it'll display a temporary waypoint flag and a window at the bottom of the screen will pop up with information including the GPS decimal location. All you need to do then is copy and paste.

  • @teddyearp
    @teddyearp 8 років тому

    Hey Eric, enjoying your travel updates. Hopefully you get time to read this little tip for your GPS stuff. I use an app called "GPS Status" and it is available for iOS as well. You can set it for decimal GPs readout, plus it has a 'share' function that will send via email, text, or to your clipboard not only the dec, but a link to that co-ord on Google maps. A buddy of mine called it my "where's Waldo" app when I used the share function.

  • @kevinmckinzie

  • @MartinLegare
    @MartinLegare 8 років тому

    Your window motor has probably just a small dead spot on the contacts and that will happen again only if you hit the same exact spot when the motor stops. Could be a long time before it happens again. It will usually happen when you dont want it :) had the same problem a few years ago, was fortunate to discover it was the same motor for the rear window, so i switched them since i rarely used the back one.

    The NYS Thruway was built before the interstate system and has always been a toll road. NY was ahead of the curve when they built it in the early 50's and they have discussed merging it into the DOT but it has never happened. I retired from the Thruway 3 years ago.

    Eric, I just cut and paste the 43.143312, -74.594965 into google maps and it comes right up. Not sure why your converting the numbers. Keep up the good work...
