I have a 2002 Dodge Neon that is currently having the same issues your car was having and I've spent two days stranded at a car wash trying to figure it out. I haven't been able to find any information about anything like the actuator pin. People usually go straight for the starter or the battery, I did but I'm no mechanic I'm just a girl who configured some of these things out with help of Google and KZread. and after watching your video I definitely am sure that that is exactly what's wrong. Just want to say thank you for making and posting the video. literally you may have just saved my life.

First off you clearly don't understand how the vector gas system works, and why steel case is shit for that type of system that has a complicated delayed gas system. Steel case does not expand at all causing lots of gas blow by which whill cause all sorts of isses also steel case ammo primers are very very hard because of the cheap metal used, hince the common light strike issue. If a gun wasn't designed to shoot steel you cant expect the upgraded firing pins and springs needed to do so. As a gun smith I can tell you that you will never run a vector reliability without anything but brass or high end ammo. Second you also seem to not understand how tight the tolerance is on that gun. you put cheap ass magazines that were not designed for the gun you are going to have issues drum mags especially! Those even run like shit in glocks which have insanly loose parts to make it more reliable. It's a vector not a ak... don't buy tight tolerance guns if your can't afford to spend the money on quality parts and ammo.

I don't know why Benchmade does not apply thread locker at the factory. Mine came the same way...the blade felt perfect, then after about a week and maybe 50 cycles, the blade was literally "flopping" back and forth! I took it apart and sure enough, the little machine screw that is supposed to secure the blade to the locking boss was loose! I applied Red Loc-tite, let set, then reassembled and the problem disappeared forever. Now the blade is solid when locked open!

If you can help I would greatly appreciate it. My knife has the same issue. Thanks.
@Razorbackoperator2 жыл бұрын
The blade should be rock solid. If it has more than the slightest movement there is a little machine screw inside that holds the locking boss to the blade shank. You can access this pretty easily. Removed the 6 screws on the button side. Lift off the top cover, lift off the steel sub frame. Now lift out the blade and you will instantly see the blade and locking boss are connected, but loose. The little machine screw has backed out. Removed the screw, apply Red Loc-tite, let set, then re-insert the screw and make sure it's tight - this is steel to steel remember. Once the Loc-tite has set you're blade will be rock solid and never come lose again!
