Any tricks to get past uconnect speaker resistance check?

I want to install a mini sub (WS-TS010A) to the rear speaker connection. I believe it will fail the check and the uconnect will see it as open and not send signal. (It's a camper van so rear speakers wouldn't really be heard and are not worth it)

Any cheap device or trick? I have 4ohm speakers to use to activate but didn't want to leave them connected, only the sub.

Can I attach only a subwoofer to the rear speaker terminals in the upfitter connection?

I know the uconnect is funny about load sensing. I know people use 4ohm to activate and then switch them out, but what about activating with 4ohm speakers then swapping them out for a subwoofer? Would that fail some check and turn the rear speakers back off?

Is this bad signal or bad capacitors?

Trying to decide if I should inspect capacitors or Swap for a CRT emudriver compatible GPU.

I get these issues with DVI-I out or with HDMI/DP to VGA adapter. I'm on Newest drivers on Titan x Maxwell (but got the same artifacts on older drivers) Phillips 34PW850H37F Widescreen HD CRT TV.

Which slot for sound card?

Z97 OC formula. It has 6 pcie slots that share with some sata ports so it's confusing.

I'm finishing an old parts build and having some trouble. I have a GPU in the top pcie slot (pcie1). I tried the sound card in slot 5 (the 2nd to last small black slot) and it's not being recognized (pic 3).

I only have one ssd installed to sata 0 and have no m.2. what slot should I try next? (Heat and airflow on the GPU or PSU are not an issue.)

How can I reduce wind noise from this area of the door seal?

Any creative ideas? The way the door closes means a wind deflector does nothing for the door gap. I've tried adding seals/strips/backing but seems about the same noise level. Honestly the deflector may have made it worse.

HRX217 Right back wheel locked up

Only on one side. The mower wouldn't start either. So I took the wheel off and tried to rotate the gear manually. It got a bit easier after getting it started, then I put the wheel back on and mower works again. Easy fix but probably temporary.

What do I need to grease or fix to prevent it and help it rotate in the future?

Edit: mower runs after manually turning gear, but only one back wheel is propelled and the wheels were locking up intermittently.

I ended up taking off both wheels and noticed the gear was about to fall off one side and had lost it's locking washer. I put it all back together with some new locking washers. Good to go. While I was at it I bought some new tires on Amazon because my back ones were bald.

Any uses for my old build?

Z97 oc formula with overclocked i5 4690k with 16gb ddr3. It would need a hard drive and GPU to run again. Don't want to throw it away but it's been sitting for a while... Thanks
