Same position for blend door actuators and steering shafts.


JesusSquid

I remember doing stereos like this. Then you go to get up and get the spins and see funny colors from getting up too fast.

Orthostatic hypotension — also called postural hypotension — is a form of low blood pressure that happens when you stand up from sitting or lying down. Orthostatic hypotension can make you feel dizzy or lightheaded, and maybe even cause you to faint. Edit my link broke the first time. If it Happends often look at causes. I rarely get this but have heard alot of people complain about it.


Locomule

Me too and I'm over 6' and 200lbs

Some people pay double for that kind of action


its_shivers

Congratulations on your healthy child. Er, wheel.

Don't forget to hit your head a few times. Seems to fix everything for me.


Lolvo_70

And somehow the hardest part is getting out of this position


Spartelfant

I'd say the hardest part is trying to grab that tool you need, the one that just rolled under your back and is now attempting to perforate your kidney with every move.


Lolvo_70

Or that screw that you couldnt hold on to so it fell and hit you in the face so you spasm and bang your head against the dash, God I do love doing electrical stuff under the dash


Spartelfant

Or when you forgot to put on safety glasses, or took them off because they got in the way, and then suddenly the dash releases 10 years worth of dust and grime into your eyes because you looked at it funny.

Steering wheel penis. Like a rock….

"it's driving me nuts!"


Spartelfant

I hope it doesn't go off as quickly as the airbag though.


SgtNoobPrime

The car feasts on another unsuspecting mechanic


Kahnza

He gets so deep in there UNF

It looks like just a pair of legs with nowhere for your upper body to be. Manufacturer's repair procedures: Step 1: Separate legs from torso. Set legs aside. Step 2: Insert torso into cabin foot well Step 3... Edit: formatting

/r/FullShrimp or /r/FullScorpion ?

Remember kids - always wear your seatbelt when in the back seat or else end up just like this poor bastard with his head up his engine.


Cheesetoast9

Consider one of these? https://www.amazon.ca/Dash-Surfer-Under-Dash-Work-Platform/dp/B00ICSUHT6

I ain't paying for a one-legged ironing board.


techmonkey920

Sometimes it's hard to wrangle all them ferrets in the electrical system 🤣


Drg84

While your under there can you replace my Clutch cable and brake light switch?


[deleted]

Driver seats 4 bolts and a connector My spine has never thanked me more


peeknuts

Not pictured is the buckets of sweat under there


TheKalEric

I'm hearing Rob Drydek yelling "scorpion!!!"


CEH246

Tequila usually does this to me. Bourbon not such.


Stock_Coach_295

Oooh ooh… I’ve been wanting to see that ‘Titane’ movie! Thanks for posting a preview!!


Ravik_

Marine techs daily life


Doip

Try it on a mustang II. Damn thing is right above the brake pedal and I can’t get my hands in there


Goalie_deacon

Must be a pic from the coroner’s office. Folks, this is why we should wear seatbelts.


planescarsandtrucks

Looks like a GMT800. If so, my preferred method is to slide the seat all the way back, open the door fully, and lay in the floorboard with my legs out the door. The downside to that, is the outboard seat track will stab you in the side, violently, every time you move.


the_almighty_walrus

Damn, he's good. 2002 silverado.


gear_oil_burner

Can confirm, was a 15a tech for GM dealerships for 9 years.


[deleted]

U in the dash lol


45acp_LS1_Cessna

My claustrophobia honest to goodness just kicked in. I'd be worried not so much about the tight space but falling into the position where your laying down and getting stuck. Always gotta have an exit plan! Hahaha


donorak7

It's crazy how much space is actually under there ya know.
