Default Ratchet cleaning

On VS for the PNP switch write up, it mentions ratchet cleaning, but rapidly moving from P-L 15 to 20 times.

Will this buy me some time on doing my PNP switch? The no start issue only happens from time to time.

Cool.

I'm gonna try that and see if it fixes it. I hope that works because I really do not want to do the PNP switch. I just don't have energy or time lately because I haven't been feeling that great.

Do you do it while the car is on or while its just in acc?

Typing seems fine. My wife made me keep her rule. No Working On Things After 9:00 pm. I just end up loosing patience and breaking something.
