Question:

Plumbers, how do I remove a copper fitting from a copper pipe without damage?

I am trying to install a new Delta Tub Faucet. I removed the old faucet from the wall, however the threaded copper fitting from the old faucet stayed attached to the copper pipe. I need to remove this to get to the threaded male end soldered to the copper pipe. This will allow me to just screw the new faucet on. I tried to unscrew it using a pipe wrench and vice grips. I'm afraid if I reaf on it too hard, it will break the solder joint at the copper fitting. Its stuck on pretty good. I can see that there looks like there is white teflon tape on the inside of the fitting. Is there a Plumber's trick to getting this off without breaking the solder joint, or bending the copper? Thanks

Answer:

when you use the key fob to unlock the doors it also turns off the alarm, when you manually unlock the doors the alarm is still on and only turns off when the computer verifies the right key is in the ignition. (when you start the car) The antenna for the key fob is in the back glass, The connector is top center under the head liner and is very delicate. if your back glass is still broken this is why your key fob doesn't work (no antenna) If your back glass has already been replaced then they have damaged the connector or have not plugged it in. good luck HTH
Baseboard heat shouldn't cause these symptoms. If may be too dry in the house. If you don't have a humidifier you can achieve the same results by simply putting a few containers (glasses, bowls or whatever) of water around the apartment especially in the bedroom so it will evaporate into the air. But as the other person suggested check to see if there could be a CO2 issue or mold. Generally those symptoms sound more like CO2 than mold.
