Woke up to find my phone only half charged… apparently I moved it after placing it on my wireless charger.
Then, on the way to work, I went to turn off my fog lights… to find a low tire pressure light. The screen with the pressures said it was 32 psi, while the rest were 46/47.
Initially stopped to check as soon as I crossed the intersection I was at, but couldn’t really tell. It was probably because of the dirt and grass obscuring the view. Once I got to work, it did look a bit flat.
Went to grab my portable compressor I got from Amazon to check (to confirm)… only to find it has zero power. Not surprising since I left it unplugged for so long. Had to unplug my phone to charge the compressor. Got it charged to about 4% and was able to confirm it was at 32 psi. Tried adding some but it died almost immediately after adding the 2 psi it lost when the connection moved and let out air.
Plugged it back it to charge while I did a delivery and then got food. Able to then up the pressure to 45 psi. Should be close enough to the rest, but my plan is to check it as I go. If it’s a fast leak, I’ll switch to my spare. Otherwise, I’ll just add as needed until I can get it patched tomorrow (I won’t be done with work until about 9 pm).
Oh, I did find the source…
Ps… I kinda wish there was a stickied thread, something like what you did and what happened to your car. I’ve seen this in two of the car forums I previously visited (an HR-V forum, I forget the specific name and FitFreak). I mean, I’d rather post this in a more general thread than create a separate one for it.
