The problem will be back in 3-5 years without also adding an in-line jumper harness. GM part #84733196 It has some sort of resistor in-line that reduces current rush when parking button is depressed, that was causing a small amount of carbon to build up on switch contacts.

My 2018 Malibu was doing this intermittently and when I went to trade it in the dealer (trying to knock down the trade in price) told me this was a $1k repair. It is actually easier than depicted here in that no 'prying' device is needed (it can also scratch the console). Just pull out the "change pocket" at the back of the console and pull the console up from the hole. Everything else is the same. Tough to solder only because the part and wire is so small. I timed the whole procedure and it took me 10 minutes and 34 seconds beginning to end.

Thank you for the video! The guy in the other videos replaced the whole shifter! And does it work on my 2019 LT

Thanks! This helped me fix my Tamagotchi Keitai

Bandai just announced that they're re-releasing the Tamagotchi Connection and this shell design has been "updated" as one of the shell designs for the Japanese market. It's iconic.

but can you do a video to fix a different glitch? when putting shifter into manual mode then pressing those 2 top buttons on the top of the shifter, it doesn't want to stay in that manual mode. it goes back to regular drive mode even though the shifter is all the back in manual mode. can this be fixed relatively easily?

you lost me at soldering. lol

Can I half bake it? Great video young man

Very informative video. I've repaired a variety of different things in my time but I have yet to work on any TI calculators. Very nice!

Pro move with the logo on the calculator 🙌

I'll just buy a new motion sensor bar. Lol. My new kittens but mine in half.

Just ordered the switch. We shall see if it works for me!

The fix was almost as good as the rhyming!

Someone has probably mentioned. But dip your wires in some flux after you twist the strands together (if it is a stranded wire). Also use 60/40 leaded solder. Unleaded is just difficult to work with. Good iron too. Pinecil is great and priced right.

Its 2024 and i just did this, just on the more ghetto side. Works though

Can I connect the usb head directly to like a power bank?

Wow I tried like 3 times and no luck before I saw your video. What worked for me was the part where you need to burn the insulation in the wire and it works !! Thank you so much !! 😊 You def got me to subscribe !

Who knew it could be so easy to fix. Thanks for the help.

Love it. so helpful.

Amazing from Aud & McK 🦇

I was afraid that my 2004 tama would never work again (screen came on but buttons were stuck) and this video helped me bring it back!! Thank you 😊

OMG, isn't it better to replace the wire entirely without any soldering?

Wait isnt it more Efficient if you use usb ? Like U can plug it into a wii u A pc And a chargin cable But i mean it also kinda Use full if u dont have a usb charging cable

Thanks bud! Tried to fix a friends cord today by splicing but no success. Will try the burning and cleaning of the wires and hopefully that works. 🙏

Thanks man!! It was very helpful, now the bar is working again!! 👏👏

I bought a second hand wii off of marketplace and the seller said I need to replace the sensor bar because the wire snapped. I tried joining it and it doesn't work but as soon as I get home I'm gonna try burning the insulation off and joining. Will update my comment if I got it working Update: working perfectly after burning off the insulation and twisting together. Didn't have isopropyl so I just cleaned them with a paper towel to get the soot off. Thank you so much.

Hi! I found my Tamagotchi v3 back from all this time and I opened it and what the same problem as you with mostly the A button which was hardly working for 2 days and now it just stopped working completely. I have zero experience in tech stuff. Pardon my ignorance but will ethylic alcohol work the same? and do you think that adding a drop of alcohol instead of opening the device would cause further damage? I am afraid I'll ruin it and I dont trust local stores because of previous disappointing experience. Also, idk if you could help me but the sound is not sounding, even though it's on. how could i fix that? thank you for your time!

Omg it’s so soothing listening to you -I have the original timer but I’ll check for corrosion

Nice video, could have been cut down a little bit more, but advice worked. there are only 2 wires in the sensor cable, a red shielded and an exposed copper, then some white string looking thing. An important note here is that the red shielding is like "painted" on the wire and must be removed in order to either solder or twist them back successfully. It won't work otherwise, I tried, and even tried with what I thought had melted/burned off the shielding, but apparently was not all the way as I went back over and burned and cleaned it off with alcohol. Twisted them together and got the sensor working again for my mom's wii. A little tip too is you can expose more length of the wire and only burn the tip off, so the bottom is still red so you can tell which is which.

I converted my adapter to a usb port for my led lights it works but the voltage is very low for some reason even tho i used 5.4 volt and 2.3 amps on a brick

Thank you for this video! I have a V1 and the buttons do work but you have to press them extremely hard. I’ll try this and see if it helps.

Thanks! Saved the night. 😂

I have the slightly newer (blue + white) version that I am going to try and fix. Will let you know how it goes!

Thank you got a wii cheap and the cord broke and I wrapped them together all for them not to work and this got er done, thanks!

I thought my new hello kitty nano Tamagotchi's batteries were dead, but after replacing... the screen is still glitching and pixels are fading... I took good care of it!!! Please help

Is there anything else you can use for this to work?

Wii sensor bar (5 leds) can used with adapter 9v - 10v without buch converter.

i have a "pet game" tamagotchi. the button "decide" its so bad to press (it's down) sometimes its WAY TOO HARD to press it one day, i dismounted it and tried to fix it. when i got it back in place the button got good (for some minutes) and it got bad again still bad.

Good job!! Looks like I need to try that.😮

That's a bit more complicated then what I did......I just solder a USB plug to the battery contacts -- the only thing left to do now would be modify the internal circuit to disable the off-timer. For the power input you could just connect the usb-plug up to a wall-wart running 5V at 2A, etc.

Thank you for this video! I followed your steps and fixed the C button on my Angelgotchi! I cleaned it and changed the buttons. It is working well now! The only problem I had was avoiding dust on the screen until I screwed it again, but eventually, I was able to do it.

What if the charger just says 120 volts and 1.4 watts? does that mean it only needs a .012 amp charger?

Jake is a miracle 😀 our cat chewed our cord and we were able to fix the wires because of this video #canhefixit? #YES HE CAN

This is helpful! I recently found my sister’s old tamagotchi and the c button doesn’t work. I’m gonna give this a try to see if cleaning it helps. Thanks for the video! 😊

Thank you man!!! I found my sp a few days ago and already ordered new charger, but i was so stressed cuz i didnt even know if it works (it does) so thx again mannn.

I just did this to a dud one my girlfriend got in the mail. This saved it's life!

Well, I wish this solved my problem- but my problem is that my chargers is 1) Different- it's rectangular, & can hold two controllers as well, 2) Is flashing red, the moment I plug it in, no matter what I do.. any ideas for this one?

Keep cutting back until you find the other wire. Trust me

Great video, my sensor bar is now working again.

Welp. Tried fixing mine but didn't see anything obvious like the missing wire but something happened as now it's working again. Must have been bad contact on the batteries.
