For more information on this topic, I have written a “field manual” called Engine Performance Diagnostics which is available at www.scannerdanner.com as an eBook or paper book.
Want even more diagnostic training? Whether you are a DIY trying to fix your own car, someone looking to become an auto technician, or a current auto technician that wants to get more into diagnostics, subscribe to ScannerDanner Premium https://www.scannerdanner.com/join-scannerdanner-premium.html There is a 14 day free trial.
On ScannerDanner Premium I will bring you right into my classroom at Rosedale Technical College. You will find page for page lectures taken right from my book as well as exclusive classroom type case studies. What is so special about these classroom case studies? I pull live problem vehicles directly into my classroom and we troubleshoot them in real time, using and applying the theory and testing procedures we learn during the classroom lectures. There is no better on-line training of how to troubleshoot automotive electrical and electronics systems anywhere!

wire terminations, the bane of electricity and electronics! there is NO fool proof method of termination and never has been!
back up 40+ years and look at milspec/aviation and you'll see the theatrics they went through in failed attempts at perfecting terminations and splices ( huge emphasis on theatrics) 😉
12 to $1500? and not fixed? flames and fire?
exactly as covered in video, there could have been many underlying issues (guaranteed yes), so while the previous shop may have changed parts that seem improper, they could have fixed other issues at bay. fuse boxes were rarely the issues years ago, but that's back when stooge-tronics and electrical system were minimal. also when drivers had to drive, pay attention and think in advance 😉
bad junkronics/sparktronics? you don't say, electrical/electronics have always been the bane of automotive since day one. of anything non mechanical, not that it didn't all have it's own quirks. LOL
Be careful my old boos give free diagnostic and reads code and tells the customer that the switch will fix it and when it doesn't fix it he looks at identifix at top fix (guess ) with out checking power grounds just keeps throwing parts at it
I so happy to hear the opening monologue. So many customers don’t understand the importance of diagnosis. When a customer request to replace a specific part because someone said so I tell them that they need to pay in advance. When they ask why I politely tell them “ when it still doesn’t work I want to make sure I get paid”.
This grounding issue reminds me of a problem with early model V6 Nissan Pathfinders, Frontiers, and Xterras. A bad ground terminal on the aluminum upper intake manifold can cause multiple trouble codes regarding O2 sensors. The service bulletin says that if the ground terminal is more than 25mV with a warm engine at idle, then a new ground wire should be installed. Fortunately, the terminal is easy to access.

You will never get away with your crimes because your short height gives you away!
Whats your brother sight called cant find it, keep up the good work
11:30 that's why you always roll down the drivers window first thing.
It’s amazing how many engineering design flaws you see in aircraft also. That ending was hilarious!
Camera man Caleb for the win! Caleb is killing it on these videos. This needs to be an actual tv show or Netflix series instead of the garbage that is on mainstream media. You guys are awesome. Great editing skills Caleb!

Very informative. Great video
Good catch. Thanks for sharing
Hey Paul
Work on standby power. Generators for those that don't know. The point. When performing PM's the ground(s) get special attention. It's simple enough to fully disassemble clean and reassemble. If you think people get excited about their vehicles not functioning. What till their standby power fails!
I once had a customer bring a van in for the blower not working. He said it had been working fine until the day before. Test light confirmed voltage to the blower. Test light also confirmed voltage at the ground strap from the blower to the fender 😉 The screw in the fender was screwed into bondo…. I called and asked if the van had ever been wrecked. The customer said, sure six years ago……….. Sometimes the customer's info helps. Sometimes not.
I'm thrilled you got on the soap box to hollar that codes don't tell you what part to change. I'll share my usual schpiel in hopes it'll help expand customers understanding. When a technician is looking at codes, the standard global OBDII code list offers 36 different codes just for O2 sensors alone. If it was really as easy as plugging in a scan tool and letting a code tell you what part to change, you wouldn't need more than four O2 sensor codes because that's usually the most O2 sensors you''re going to find under a hood. So why 36 codes? To give a tech a starting point in their diagnosis. Some of those codes will point to a faulty O2, but some of those codes mean the O2 is trying to tell you there's a problem elsewhere. If you're at home replacing an O2 sensor because you saw an O2 code, it's a toss up between fixing the car and shooting the messenger. This is about where people get tired of me preaching, so this is where I'll stop before I chase people away from another awesome video.
Please do a live repair video ,thanks !
Awesome vid, loving the new editing!
