get the gernie and spray in there, if that doesnt work get someone inside the car while you are outside at the ready and on the go signal person inside car adjusts mirror all the way inward while you are introducing him to a class 5 cyclone.

Or if its a daily just spray bug spray in there. I dont like killing spiders so I just gernie them out haha

I spray long life kill surface spray around the gap between the mirror and cover, makes em sick and kills them, the coating inside takes care of the next sucker to try going in there.

Looks like im not the only one with a son thats got a spider phobia. :)

I just use Mortein. Never had any adverse reaction with paint or anything. I spray it behind the mirror, between the rear bumper, under the car etc.

The worst I've had was a huntsman crawling out of my air duct out the window and onto the glass. I thought it flew off until it fell out of the car two weeks later when I opened the door. Was contemplating fire.

Next time you see him drop a rubber spider near him, watch him shit bricks and run for his life. :)

He has already complained why i have not gone around the house spraying barrier spray just before summer......last time he saw a spider in his bedroom he made me spider killer smoke bomb his room.

My biggest fear in life if a spider on my while drving

And it came true

First and last time it happened..

I ened up quickly stoped in peak hour traffic on a main road with my shirt of and pants down.

Big f*ker too, dont know how i dident casue an accident.....

Got back in and kept drving clenching the steering wheel casue i didnet find it......

Didnet even get back in the car that night aye just left it at my mates haha

Id rahter face someone with a gun then a Spider any day

Then ive got a mate and she has litreally a hunstman nest in her car. Said she loves it when they run acorss her feel while dirivng it tickles.

Never got back into her car after i saw it first hand.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
