Mine is just as loud, and I could hear my passenger scream... But she also fell asleep in it earlier that day! [emoji12]

LOL!!! I had the same reaction at my first MOTD. I couldn't believe it was only one car leaving the parking area.

 

A dielectric is an electrical insulator, it is not a good idea to apply dielectric grease directly to an electrical connection, rather use it to help seal the plastic connector around the electrical connection from water and dirt.

 

When does Gnat get to come home ??
