Almost killed by my SC.....ran over

[CurtisPaulfrey]

I have been spending more time working on my SC since I lost my job. Last Night I was working on pulling the high pressure line for the power steering. I let my tools slip off my battery and some how my tool tray grounded the neg side of my battery and hit some solenoid....I dont have a e brake so I had the car in second gear...The car took off and knocked my on my butt and drug me 6-8 feet until it pinned me like a sandwich between the front of my SC and the back of my F150.................

so I didn't get my PS fixed but I did manage to put a dent in my SC and my truck...:rolleyes:

Wowwww

One bad SC day one good thing no matter how bad it seams your ok car's can be replaced but you cant. All this aside hope you have a Happy and safe Christmas and New years from all of us in California. Strange things can happen you just dont know when and how

That sounds like something out of a final destination movie! You probably connected the starter relay on the fender. It's a pretty stupid place for one to be for us guys who use the fenders for tool shelves!

I used rubber undercoating on my inner finders, just so tools dont slide around:D It looks good too:rolleyes:

Maybe thats why every procedure in the service manual tells you to disconnect the battery.

Whew scarry.. tell me that you ALWAYS use jack stands and chock the wheels. I spend quite a bit of time underneath 2 of my SCs and I'm always fearful of it falling on me. It may take 10 minutes more to get it all leveled and blocked, but there is absolutely nothing about a SC thats worth dying over. :cool:

Its happened before I almost ran over myself with my sc
