So today I’m going to show you how to wrap your dread locks with string. I’m actually going to use yarn, mainly because it’s a little more colorful and it’s a little more fun. But one of the reasons why you can use this method to wrap your dreads it’s not only decorative, but it’ll help you combine two dreads together without and it’ll actually look like a design.

So the first thing I’m going to do is I’m going to measure out how much yarn I need. So it’s going to start at the root. I want it just a little bit longer than the actual dread, because once you wrap it, of course, you’re going to take up some of that length. So since this is about right, I’m going to go just a little bit more and cut it. Once that is cut I’m going to grab the actual dread lock that I want to wrap.

I’m going to go in here at the roots and just make enough of a hole to where my finger pokes through and that’s where I’m going to actually start. So I’m going to pull it all the way through and measure them out so that they’re even. Like I said, this is one of the methods you can use to combine two dreads together. So I have the string going through the one dread, the main one I want to combine and then the smaller one.

So I put those two together. I use one of my sides, I hold it so it wont’ move, one of the sides to wrap around. You’re just going to wrap it to make it a little more secure. Wrap it at the base, that’s secure. Then I’m going to take the other side and wrap it the opposite way. Secure it even more. Then I’m going to set that out of the way. I’m just going to clip it, just so that you can get an idea of how I’m going to use the yarn down the length of the dread.

So then I have my two and I’m going to just take it and wrap it around. In this particular sense, because Francesca has such a beautiful curl in her dread, I didn’t want to measure the yarn to the very end, because once you do that it’s definitely going to look different. But his is going to allow it to kind of blend in with the rest of her curls, if we go just half or partial length of her actual dread lock.

So I’m going to hold it there. I’m just going to clip it so it will be out of the way, so you can just follow me. And then I’m going to take the other side and wrap it the opposite way. So I’m going to let land right in the middle of where I wrapped it previously and kind of tighten it up. You can do it as tight or as loose as you want. I’m keeping hers loose because she has a nice curl to it, and as you can see, her dreads are kind of small.

So we would be doing this for her as then a way to make them a little bigger, look a little thicker and fluffier. So I’m not going to wrap it too tight. I’m going to keep a nice, loose tension on it, as you go all the way down. And once I get to where the other side meets, I’m going to tie it in a knot. Tie the two ends in a knot, rather. Another reason I like to use the yarn instead of actual string; you can use string and you can use thread; the yarn is just softer and it’s more bendable with the hair.

If you were running your hands through your hair you wouldn’t really feel the yarn as much as you would string, because it’s just as soft as the hair. And this is 100% wool, so it’s a natural fiber and most dread lock wearers like natural things in their hair. I’m going to cut off the excess, once I get my knot really tight. And you can see if this was the same color of her hair it would just blend right in. But even though it’s not, it’s a little lighter so you actually see it, and if she had maybe four or five more of these, it’ll look very decorative. And that is the way you wrap your dreads with string.

Video tutorial on how to diagnose and repair the blend door actuator on a Ford Ranger. The two main issues with a failing blend door actuator is when you adjust the interior temperature on the hvac control panel, you will either hear a clicking sound or the temperature will be stuck on either hot, cold, or won’t adjust the cabin temperature. If you catch the issue in the right time, then it is repairable and you don’t need to buy a replacement actuator. This particular vehicle I am working with is a 1998 Ford Ranger, but a similar procedure may also apply to Mazda B series models as well.

Tools/Supplies Needed:
-grease
-cloth
-contact cleaner
-blend door actuator
-gear replacement
-multimeter
-standard/flat screwdriver

Procedure:
-as mentioned above the two main issues is you will either hear a clicking sound in the dash when adjusting the temperature or the temperature can’t be adjusted
-it is located behind the glove box
-remove the contents of the glove box, then bend the sides in and pull down
-this will expose the main duct and the blend door actuator is either a white or black box, this will depend if it’s been replaced before or not and is located on the top
-remove the electrical connector, simply depress the tab and pull out
-the electrical connector can be both back probed using a multimeter when in place or disconnected to test the controller circuit
-wiring may vary between the years so check a wiring diagram specific to your vehicle
-the pinout diagram will say which pin location connects to what part of the circuit
-turn the ignition in the run position
-using a multimeter on the lowest DC voltage setting, check to ensure if there is power at the circuit, along with a sufficient ground
-now setting the multimeter to the lowest ohms setting, we will measure the resistance of the potentiometer in the hvac control panel
-values will vary depending on what your cabin temperature is set at
-if it fails any parts of the test, then there is an issue with the hvac control panel or the wiring
-we can simply remove the actuator and inspect if it’s functioning correctly
-to remove it, simply depress the two tabs on the front and use a standard screwdriver to pop it up
-use the assistance of a standard screwdriver to disconnect the actuator
-another issue is that the shaft can break, either on the unit or on the door within the duct
-if the door has broken within the duct, then the duct will need to be disassembled for replacement
-plug the actuator back into the electrical connector, turn the ignition in the run position and test
-rotate the air temperature control and watch to see if the shaft rotates
-it doesn’t have a large amount of movement and won’t move fast either
-using a smaller standard screwdriver, slowly pop the tabs around the outside
-try to hold it apart so it doesn’t clip closed again
-remove the cap and then everything will be exposed inside
-wipe off any old lubricant
-I used a paint marker just to align the gears to make it easier for reassembly
-then remove the gears and continue to clean off the old lubricant
-inspect gears for any damage
-the small gear driven by the motor, I have seen a replacement on Ebay if yours needs to be replaced and it’s much cheaper than buying a new replacement unit
-clean the potentiometer with electronic contact clean and a clean rag
-do not contaminate this area with any oil or grease and inspect for any damage
-ensure the contacts on the shaft gear which run against the potentiometer is cleaner and make sure they ride correctly on the swipe area
-apply lithium grease to the gears and shafts they ride on
-reassemble the gears, lining everything back up and ensure the case is snapped back together
-test to make sure it is working correctly
-for reinstalling the actuator back onto the duct, if you have moved it, then that’s not an issue
-connect the electrical connector, turn the ignition on and then slowly rotate temperature selector, eventually the actuator will fall into it’s slot, then snap the unit back into place
-test again
-push the glovebox back into place by pulling in the sides again
