Pop the hood and locate the battery. Use a wrench to remove the negative cable, which is usually covered with a black cap and marked with a minus sign, from the terminal. Press and hold the horn for 30 seconds or try to switch on the vehicle's lights. Neither the horn nor the lights will work since there's no power running to them, but attempting to do so will use up any electricity in the capacitor. Leaving the battery disconnected for about 15 minutes will ensure the vehicle systems will completely reset when you reconnect the battery. Secure the negative cable back to the terminal and cover it with the cap (if applicable). Disconnecting the battery will clear the error codes and reset the check engine light.

Summary: Remove the negative cable from the vehicle's battery. Drain any remaining electricity from the capacitor. Wait 15 minutes and reconnect your battery.

After noticing evidence of blood blisters, you need to make an appointment with your vet. As a trained professional with substantial experience, your vet can properly identify and diagnose blood blisters. The vet will question you about your cat's history of blood blisters, possible trauma, or any other symptoms. If you've noticed changes in the blood blister, such as bleeding from it, let your vet know. Your vet may need to run tests to find out the cause of blood blisters or to determine if the growth is in fact a blood blister. Without testing, you and your vet will have incomplete data and won't be able to arrive at a proper diagnosis. Your vet may take a biopsy of the blister and send it off for a pathological analysis. This analysis will test to see if the bump is a blood blister or if it is some sort of cancer, fungus, or growth. Your vet may order a blood platelet count test to see if your cat has any blood disorders. When diagnosing blood blisters, you need to make sure you rule out other conditions that may show similar symptoms. This is important, as other conditions may pose a much more serious threat to your cat's health. Be aware that blood blisters are sometimes confused with modular melanoma a potentially life threatening cancer if left untreated. Blood blisters are caused by a variety of conditions. By thinking about the underlying causes of blood blisters, you'll be better able to diagnose them and to understand why your cat develops them. Some major causes include: Excess friction or pressure on a specific part of your cat's body. For example, your cat may develop a blood blister underneath their collar. Trauma to a part of the body. Blood diseases.

Summary: Make an appointment. Run further tests. Work with your vet to rule out other conditions. Ask your vet about the underlying causes of blood blisters.

Your best bet is to find a repair kit made by the manufacturer of your car. Otherwise, compare several kits to your upholstery to find the best color match. Use mild soap and a damp rag to clean the leather. Remove crumbs, dust, dirt, and grime by scrubbing the seat gently. Allow it to dry completely before proceeding. If the edges of the tear curl outward or have threads hanging from them, use a pair of scissors to trim them off. Slip a piece of backing cloth into the hole and then slide it beneath the tear. Put a small amount of the included glue on the edges of the tear so they stick to the cloth. Allow the glue to dry completely. Use a palette knife to spread the leather filler onto the backing cloth between the edges of the tear. Allow each layer to dry before applying another. Keep building up the filler until it slightly overlaps the leather seat. Once the filler is completely dry, use a fine-grit sanding block to sand down the top layer. Stop when the filler is even with the rest of the leather. Do your best not to sand too much of the surrounding leather. A sanding block, rather than sand paper, will give you more control over the area. Use a slightly damp, clean cloth, to remove any dust or debris leftover from the sanding process. Allow the seat to dry before moving on. Use a clean cloth to rub the colorant onto the area where you applied filler. Build up several layers if necessary, allowing each layer to dry fully, until the color matches the rest of the leather. Apply leather sealant with a clean cloth to the area you repaired. This will prevent the colorant from rubbing off. Allow the sealant to dry completely before sitting on the seat.

Summary: Choose a repair kit with colorant that matches the leather. Clean the seat. Trim any ragged edges around the tear. Glue the canvas backing cloth underneath the tear. Build up layers of leather filler. Sand down the filler. Wipe down the seat with a damp cloth. Apply the colorant to the filler. Cover the area with leather sealant.

The general rule for lure color is "bright day, light colors; dark day, dark colors." On bright, sunny days and in clear water conditions, choose lures that are light in color and mimic natural patterns. On cloudy days and in dirty water conditions, choose darker lures and those with a non-natural coloration, preferably types that make noise or vibrate as they move through the water. A notable exception to this rule is the use of 2-toned plastic worms that feature a darker head color and a fluorescent pink or yellow tail color. Many anglers use plastic worms colored like this when fishing in cloudy water conditions. In general, choose smaller jigs and grubs when fishing for panfish (bluegill, sunfish, crappie, perch) and larger lures such as spinnerbaits and crankbaits when fishing for bigger fish (bass, walleye, and pike). Smaller lures are best suited for light and ultralight spinning and spincasting tackle (or fly rods in the case of dry and wet flies) with lines of 4 to 10-pound test (2 to 5 kg class), while larger lures are meant to be fished with medium to heavy action rods, spinning or baitcasting reels, and lines of 12 to 20-pound test (6 to 10 kg class) or better. (Lures used to fish for muskellunge, the largest member of the pike family, are decidedly larger than those used for bass, walleye, and northern pike, and often require the use of a wire leader because of the muskie's sharp teeth.) Lure size can also be dictated by weather conditions and how fish react to them. In early spring, or when cold front conditions clear the skies and cool the water to make fish lethargic, smaller lures are usually better choices than larger lures. (Lures used for ice fishing are exceptionally tiny, usually grub jigs or small spoons.) In high-wind conditions, you may need to use a larger lure simply to have enough resistance on the end of the line to keep the wind from bowing it so that you can't detect if fish are hitting the lure. Also try casting out a spinner and just keep casting and retrieving the lure.
Summary: Choose lure colors according to weather and water conditions. Choose lure size according to the tackle you're using and the species you're fishing for.
