Right blinker issue - Citroen C3 II (~2012)

This post is an update from this one: link

Hi,

I have a right blinker problem on my car, specifically the right side repeater and rear right indicators.

They used to work on and off sporadically but now they don't work anymore.

When they break, they both break at the same time.

Disclaimer, I am a beginner who watches youtube videos and search stuff online. So far I have changed a radio and a diesel return line on another car.

Pictures (sorry for the resolution)

Here's a schematic I found online for my car model:

Here's another:

Both found here: https://www.c3manuel.com/indicateurs_de_direction_signal_danger-106.html

And here's a simplified one made by myself:

Findings

  • Lamp module 2635 (rear right): OK

  • Connector and pins 2635: OK

  • Lamp module 2345 (right side repeater): OK

  • Wiring [BSI - PH1 - #13] -> [2635]: OK (I even replaced it, ruining a perfectly good original part >.<)

  • Wiring [BSI - EP - #19] -> [2345]: Untested, very hard to reach

  • Ground MC70: OK (because the other lights (stop and fog) are working fine)

  • Ground MC20: OK (because the front right blinker goes there and this one's working)

  • Front right blinker: OK

  • Left blinkers: OK

  • Blinker fluid: OK ^^

  • The BSI isn't sending a pulsing 12V to PH1#13 and EP#19.

  • The ticking is faster on the right side.

What can I check/do next? I am kinda lost.

As I said before, I am a beginner so every piece of advice is welcome.

Does this look factory or handmade? Should I avoid tinkering?

UPDATE:https://lemmy.world/post/50623501

Trying to figure out where I am losing voltage for rear right blinker on a C3 II.

Connectors on the light module are OK, I tried on the left side, compared with a multimeter and I should get a pulsing Voltage (12V if I recall) but the gray one stays at 0 on the right side.

So I followed the wire all the way to under the glove box where I found what looks like a burned resistor.

Edit: it's a plastic shielding:

I'm pretty new to this so if I'm looking at the wrong things please feel free to tell.

Godot: Keeping project files organized and avoiding duplicates

I'm working on a project that's scaling up a bit fast in term of files and content. As such I need a way to keep these files organized.

The godot documentation recommends keeping resources and assets close to their scenes. I used to do the opposite, separating assets by type and linking them in my scenes.

Now, what the docs recommend is good but how to avoid duplications when you need to use the same resource at multiple places?

Say you have a gunshot sound, your player can use it, your enemies too.

Option A (the docs way):

/enemies/cowboy/gunshot.ogg
/enemies/cowboy/cowboy.tscn
/enemies/turret/gunshot.ogg
/enemies/turret/turret.tscn
/player/gunshot.ogg
/player/player.ogg

Here I have a redundancy of gunshot.ogg, so if later I want to edit the sound, I have to remember to swap it at 3 different places.

But on the other hand, the scenes are better "packed" for reusability on other projects and it "feels right"

Option B (my way):

/gameobjects/player.tscn
/gameobjects/cowboy.tscn
/gameobjects/turret.tscn
/sounds/gunshot.ogg

Here my naive way reduces redundancy, if I want to update the gunshot sound, I can just replace the one under /sounds/. The project is smaller which is also a (very) good benefit.

However, if I want to make another game, reusing those scenes is a pain because I'm dealing with missing resources and finding who needs what to work.

Is there a middle ground method, some Option C I'm not seeing?

Thank you for reading ^^

We should make some ai blocker working like sponsorblock

Ok hear me out, you have an extension on your browser, if you see some ai slop website, you can flag it. Then, like sponsorblock it doesn't appear and gets just zapped. It could also work on youtube and other major websites, you flag some post, then it doesn't appear for other users.

In the end you have a database of ai slop content to avoid (or attack, idk I'm just some guy on the shitter (sry that's not a shower 😬😢)

Can you run popular Android games on linux phones?

Recent AOSP news had me in shambles.

But I like my stupid games like clash of clans and royale.

My entourage has a lot of gamers. When we want to play together but don't have access to our computers, we can take out out phones and play a quick game of clash or some other stuff and I'd like to keep doing this.

I'm already a fanboy of Fedora & KDE which I'm running on both my personal and workplace machine. I'd like to also "clean" my phones.

I'm genuinely sad about the Marathon situation

Tldr; If only things where better, things would be better...

Marathon was announced a some years ago as an extraction shooter with very interesting graphics. As a teen, who didn't even know about the franchise, the art style hooked me greatly.

Fast forward last month, Marathon comes out in a public alpha. And it looks ... Meh. In comparison to what gaming had to offer at the same time it felt dry.

To add fucking pepper spray to injury they used stolen art from some girl named antireal (relevant thumbnail artist). What gives?

Arc Raider is another extraction shooter that did a public test recently and the players loved it. From what I've seen, people are really excited to play this for real.

I'm so sad. To think we could have both games thriving. Competing on the same landscape to offer the best experience. Or even collaborating as leaders of the extract shooter genre.

I don't see how they can get back on their feet to be honest. This looks as dead as concord to me (that was sad too)

At least embark seems to know their craft so I'm still exited for them.

ROOT - What are these extra tokens for?

Hello, I've had this French edition of root since Christmas and I've been having plenty fun with it.

Anybody knows what these extra tokens are for?

There is:

  • a bear
  • the dynasty leaders
  • a cat leader
  • 5 castles
  • 2 rivers with a riverfolk
  • 4 animals with a wheelbarrow

I don't need them for playing the game so I'm guessing they're here for bonus rules, but I've never seen anything mentioning them. Is this for house rules?
