At least with Trump in office now, we’re all going to have really, really cheap insurance and it’s going to be the greatest thing since sliced bread. AND it’s going to be so, so easy for him to get done.
Really like your channel. With that said why are you using that old skool test light? You must have some type of power probe style circuit tester. It would have made finding the problem much faster
you should leave little notes for future archaeologists and or mechanics to find. Kind of like kilroy was here, but in this case EricO was here.
Watching your videos is always time well spent. Thanks for taking the time to create these videos.
Great video! What kind of tester are you using? It looks like a nice one. I'd like to buy one. Thanks
800 bucks for Obama care? Lol yea whatever
How tf did we go from fixing a window to ObamaCare fuck outta here
surprised to see you NOT lubricate the window trafficking! Guess not used to see you not go the extra mile!
Eric always leaves it better'n he found it. Always.
I drive a 99 lesabre I drive it 2k a month. 3800v6 is such a kick ass motor. Well after 20 years you gotta swap a few window motors. NIce vid. Im glad I bought a southern car with now rust.
So health care for all is a bad idea? Let’s hope you never get sick and have some big medical bills!
Eric you're awesome! Keep up the good work.
My guess is he's talking about Scotty k
I really do like watching you LOL not in a weird way but my question is I got a 2004 Park Avenue I cannot find the plastic clips that hold them on the windows it froze the other day here in Tennessee and like a dumbass I tried dropping the window and what do you think broke a little plastic nipples you can help out with that let me know thank you it's was hot in here that was good
As usual you represent the Epitome of customer care, going that extra distance to fix things that you weren't responsible for but saw the need for a corrective repair/solution. I am a self employed carpenter that sees this sort of thing daily, missing nails, ETC. I try and close things up the way they should have been left when I open them up! You deserve credit for this, and I thank you for demonstrating character in this video by doing so. An extra nut and washer and some new tape just speaks as to why I'm proud to watch your videos over most others. You are beyond reproach, Thank you!
Some of those Buick window motors are riveted in. That's why the extra hardware. My mother's car was like that.
Need to buy some spray adhesive they sell in a spray can..works good for that plastic
Great Video! I replaced the leather band window regulator on my wife's 86 LeSabre in 91 or 92. What a pain!
every tool has a hammer side, even a flashlight
Staying on subject, Eric can you tell me how hard is it to reset a spring that gets unsprung while removing the motor. That is my case with the driverside window on my 2000 Camaro. My buddy said it spun out while removing the motor. .. and then left me to figure it out.
You sharing your automotive knowledge, I thought I would share some important info that I discovered during much research:
Obamacare is over rated in that it involves MD medicine (fraudulent medicine) a for-profit-only monopoly. REAL medicine is natural ALTERNATIVE medicine which begins with supplying the body with nutrients and minerals allowing the body's immune system to heal itself as God designed it. The forcing of obamacare on the people is a crime itself as well as an attack on our human rights (to make a choice). Over 200 of the best naturalpath doctors have been murdered in the last 2 yrs, who were actually healing/curing all diseases. (See Dr. Bradstreet and Nicholas Gonzalez to name a few). Do NOT blindly trust MD's. They are unaware that their medschools have been altered to accomodate big pharma, and not in the best interest of the people.
All the above can be verified. The million dollar question is: Do you believe me?
Spray tack?
For diagnosis, have someone operate the switch on the driver's door, and then bang the rear door. If it starts working, it's likely the motor. Those switches don't like dust. Mine get full of saw dust and quit working from time to time, so I clean them out and then use dielectric grease. I know that's not the best diagostics, but if you don't have the electrical equipment and don't know how to use it, this tip might help you do it yourself and save some cash. Mine has sheetrock screws holding the panels on, as I recall.
Often I found, pounding on the door panel with your hand, while holding down the switch, will jar the motor to start from a bad spot.
Before Obama care how much did you have to shell out for you whole family a month? Just curious. Good job on the window motor. That car 's in pretty good condition for it's age. Thanks for the video.
