In this video we have to look at a 2005 Toyota Highlander that was towed in as a stalling, ABS/Brake light, no speedometer, not shifting, cooling fan stays on and can’t get out of gear complaint… oh did I mention it is not charging either and the battery is dead?! After an initial assessment we focus on one issue and it quickly goes “up in smoke” leading us right to the problem. -Enjoy!

Don't worry about the commenters, that will take care of itself.
The orange two ton made it too HOT!
Every one of your videos solidifies my decision to keep the small (3cars) fleet of 90s Geo Metros going. The complexity of current production cars boggles the mind.
Great job Eric .
Fuses are like my wife, won't blow for just any reason….
14:17 thermal camera would be nice to have for these situations
Dudes obviously an expirenced auto lec
Unusual paint job, like a 50/50 bar.
have to be an electrician and mechanic
Love how they're testing the tornado sirens in the background
Had nearly the identical thing happen with the one I just purchased while on a test drive, strangely with 171k miles, very close to this one. The seller got it resolved at dealer prior to me purchasing it.
And that's diagnostic tool. Sorry
