Crank No Start Flowchart

Hey, all. Here is a link to a little project I was working on a few months ago. Take a look and let me know what you think. I am happy to make any corrections that are needed, but it is getting a little cumbersome to manage at this point because there is so much information on the chart. The lines in blue are hyperlinks to articles on the process described in that particular step.

Troubleshooting Flowchart

Let me know what you think. Also, if anyone knows how to save this in a more easily used format, I am glad to do so, but saving it as a PDF seems to give the best readability for zooming in on the chart.

Hmmm, you're right. For some reason the hyperlinks didn't carry over to the PDF online. Let me see what I can do...

I was smart and saved the original though.

The links in the document or the link to the document itself doesn't work?

Here. This should be a new link to the document in case that was the issue. The links in the doc work for me from here...

Troubleshooting Flowchart

Edit: I found the issue. Everything should be working now.

Yep, links show up now.
Maybe moderator can put this up in the sticky troubleshooting area.

Fellow FTE'ers, give Nate some rep points as I know he worked hard developing this.

I would liek to wait for a few people to review it before we make it a sticky. That way if there are any things that can be corrected or improved upon, I can get them straight before we publish the final copy to the sticky page. I am afraid that every time I change something I will have to re-work the links. If they lock the links into the sticky page, I won't be able to update that link and it won't show any revisions that are being made.

I don't deserve the reps for this... I just assembled the data from all that I have learned and read on FTE. You guys are the ones that deserve the reps...

Lets give it a couple days then I will post the final document up in the Tech sticky thread.

^^^^ +1; more zoom would be good.

Idea for another branch on the Weak Batteries path, along with Replace, a box for "Slow Charge Batteries".

Perhaps a branch on the Low HPO Pressure path, a box for "Check Lube Oil Level".

Very well constructed, nicely organized! Argle bargle, rep jail!

You should be able to zoom in using the magnifying glass along the top of the viewing pane, or don't you guys have that?

Those are good suggestions madpogue. I will add those in and revise the link. Reps sent.

Yes, but it grays out after clicking it several times (max zoom, presumably), and these old eyes need another click or two. Probably just a limitation of whatever's being used to present it. 'Course, since it's in a browser, I just use the browser's zoom feature.
