Ask Mechanics

Okay, very specific question but I've been working on my car for the past 4 weeks and in the meantime I had the hose to the heater core open.

I was doing a head gasket repair but had some downtime due to my incredible back-throwing skills, and once I got the heads back in I noticed that there are ANTS living in water lines -.-

They're building walls and everything these squatters.

Anyways besides blasting it through with water, what are some ways I can solve this oddball problem

@BeHereNow We ended up disturbing them enough that they left, a week straight of constantly jiggling their entrance everytime i worked on it was enough to drive them off

Tuttle,

Neat! Funny how the simplest action works sometimes

2007 FJ cruiser. Recent purchase. Positive battery terminal was corroded so replaced. Now passenger window no longer goes up and down with either switch - stuck all the way up. It worked before, but may have been slow, but haven't owned it long so not sure, drivers window is slightly slow. Also only the 'low' setting on the front wiper switch works, not high or intermittent (was that way when I bought it), which makes me wonder if it's a low power issue. Starts right up.
