First, glad to hear you figured out your problem and got it solved.
A short story- My son, when he turned 16 was desperate for a set of wheels so he could be mobile. Worked his ass off at Swiss Chalet and managed to get $1,000 dollars together and found an old Ford Ranger that he bought for $800. Needed a lot of work and he was counting on good old dad to fix it up for him. I asked why he thought it was my job to fix the truck for him and his reply was "well I don't know how to fix things" I said I'd be around for guidance when he got in trouble, but it was his truck. He asked "How am I going to learn how to fix the truck" My reply was "Go buy yourself a workshop manual and teach yourself. When you get in trouble, call me."
My whole purpose in this mission was to teach him that when he didn't know how to do something, do the research and teach yourself. Service manuals are designed by engineers and include best practices for investigating and repairing the most common problems associated with the equipment the manual was written for. This teaching has served him well. He now does all of his own research and self teaching. He's now 29 years old and up until last winter was running a oil well services company in Alberta with 147 workers under him. He's now a Project Manager for Schlumberger. I'm amazed at what he takes on. He wouldn't hesitate taking on anything new and he thanks me for pushing him to learn from the manual when he was just a young pup.
as the saying goes "Give a man a fish and he'll have food for a day. Teach a man how to fish and he can feed himself for a lifetime"
