@@adisonelkins8557 What are you driving?

@@unclemarksdiyauto 2013 dodge dart limited. It’s the same deal as yours but where you took off your bottom bolt for the caliper bracket . You have room to put a socket and ratchet with no extension because your control arm isn’t blocking your ratchet from snapping on to the socket . I got the top one out fine . But I tried using an extension on the bottom one and I can’t get it to break loose because the extension is making the ratchet bounce too much and I’m having a hard time steadying it because my extension takes my ratchet all the way out inside my spring . Even with just a 3 in extension

@@unclemarksdiyauto so now I’m stuck until I can figure a way to get it to steady to break it loose . I’ve used pb blaster on the bolt as well . If you have any ideas let me know thanks . Putting it back together for tonight though

@@adisonelkins8557 Humm. Not sure what is the best way. Be safe my friend!

Hey, thanks! I appreciate it. Some more videos on this car on my channel.

@@gpweaver Hey, Red Green is pretty popular! Thanks! Your content is pretty boring too! Just ask your 12 subscribers! I usually can take some constructive criticism, but your channel doesn’t post and explain how to do anything.

@@unclemarksdiyauto Actually, I really like your video! Of course, I like Red Green''s sped-up B&W videos--they're the best part of the show. Yours just doesn't have, "Oh, oh... now Mike's in the creek. Shouldn't have done that" I was fully waiting for a, "And there goes that nut, right into the frame." Yeah, my channel's pretty much just...useless, except for the vacuum part install (posted so people who buy my part off eBay don't destroy it trying to fit it in.) You're right, I should do some videos on actually making the pyro stuff, god knows there's enough out there showing people really unsafe methods. I don't have the voice or the looks to be a KZbin personality--I've got a face for radio and a voice for silent film 😀

@@gpweaver all good. This video was not my best for sure. I do love a good Red Green episode. He sure had some ideas! Are you driving a Caravan, or were you just watching random videos suggested?

@@unclemarksdiyauto Hell, this video's perfect--jumps right into how to make the repair without 20 minutes of exposition (to hit those precious KZbin metrics). Watching videos at 1.25x - 1.5x is a good way to cram info--the speech is still understandable but the action's sped up. I gotta replace the lamp in my oldest son's Caravan that he "inherited" when his mom got a new SUV. We just spent 8 hours putting on new control arms, ball joints, tie rod ends, sway bar links, and brakes (plus replacing a stuck caliper), only to have it fail state inspection because that damned light went out at some point in the 3 days between when we gave it the quick once-over and when we dropped it off for inspection. Murphy's Law. I once had a headlight go out *while I was pulling the car into the garage to be inspected.*

@@robyn_byrd The next one will probably have the battery hidden as well! Problem is, if your battery is dead now, you will have to go through this to replace it and then sell it and buy the next one.

I am not sure how many the trans holds.

@@donproctor3445 hummm. Might be 2008 to 2014. Hope you figure it out, Don.

Lost tension on the belt. (They get weak over time) Also, the wheel can seize. Symptoms of loose tensioner can be squealing, belt falling off, weird belt wear.

Thanks for the tip!

@@LakesideAutobody you too. Have a friends Honda Odyssey with horn issues to look at tomorrow. Video to come soon. I think it’s a 2006.

So nice to hear, Matt. Got to keep these cars going!

@@anthonyritch1252 You could try. Your car is old enough now that probably the wires where your drivers door hinges and wires go into the body are broken. You could try this first. It won’t hurt anything. If no improvement, I would check inside that wiring boot on the drivers door.

@@LakesideAutobody Hope it helps someone. Had a few people asking how to get this panel off if door won’t open. Hope you are well! Any progress on the AMX?

@@fishlmao372 I guess it’s possible a connection somewhere might be loose. The computer does some self checks at startup. As for light going on and off, again hard to say for sure what is up. Do you have a code reader? It may tell you which wheel is the issue, then you can look closer at it.

@@dewyjune I can’t remember. This was done last year.

@@Loco_Jay did you stripe if the the same reason I did? I forgot to rotate the engine for that cylinder to ease the pressure from the cam and that caused the bolt to strip. Yikes

@@champintraffic did it work for you? What vehicle are you having issues with?

@@Homested_Happenings Normally the clock should not know the correct time. That being said, not sure which radio you have and if they are not using the gps or internet to grab the correct time. Mine ended up being the TIPM. This process has work though for many viewers, happily. As for the TIPM, that was ruled the problem after following schematic wiring diagram and tracing back the problem. Bought a used TIPM on line from a wrecker. (It must be the same TIPM) They are not programmed all the same.

I see the one on the head there but there might be another plug behind that. My engine has like 8 I think in some weird ass spots

@@braydenahl660 which engine are you working on?

@@unclemarksdiyauto I'm working on a 302 in my 89 foxbody

@@braydenahl660 sweet! Pretty sure this one is the timing chain leaking. It’s a 3.4 L Chevy in an Impala.

@@totony2784 thank you! Many have said the same! My newest videos have not contained bloopers as I have been trying to keep the videos as short as possible. I should start adding at least one at the end again. Hope to hear from you soon. Lots more Caravan repairs in the playlist.

I can't remember, sorry!

@@craigmorris954 Interesting. I will have to go back and check. As you saw in video, I used a T20 which was not sloppy as I recall (or would have used a different size) That said, mistakes can be made either while recording, or in editing.

@@noahtaylor1054 No idea!

@@mspeck2393 it’s harder to make these videos than you think! Ah, actually you do know! Is that why all these years you have not posted even one!

If your having many folk flash their brights at you when your on low beam. Have you had a accident with it? Why would you think they are not right?

@@tomh9807 you should do a video on it! Show your issues and how to do it right. As for WD40, we all know it’s not a penetrating oil. This arm was not factory and was probably made for many applications, but I see it is still working fine. As for the hammer, did you break your window?

@@unclemarksdiyauto Of course i did not break my window as i never would use a hammer on such sensitive things. Just saying. Ok my arm was original from Dodge but still looked exactly the same like yours. Nah i am not so much in Videos making. Glad i could help.

@@jeanninelynn9622 so glad your were able to do this on your own! It’s nice to be able to do some of these repairs and many times it just takes a bit of courage, and some guidance. Stay safe and how to hear from you again!

@@RobertMesa-fu9oy hope this works for you as well, Robert.

@@bryantcoleman2260 your welcome, Bryan. What were you working on? I have to do this to my low mileage 2013 Ford F150. 1 speaker is shot. Going to upgrade them to something decent. I hope the factory stereo can make them sound good.

Nice. Glad it had some effect on you. Stay well!

@@edgartuttle215 what exactly did you want to see removed? It is probably part of the bigger video.

@@johnerule2815 so glad you found it helpful. More videos on this engine to come. Thanks for stopping by, John.

@@marcusm1766 you are welcome! More videos to come on these Grand Caravans. Check out my repair playlist next time you need some guidance.

@@daltonclark4050 your welcome, Dalton. I could not believe how easy they made this! More vehicles need to be made servicable like this.

@@Wanderrap Yep, that is 300 videos ago. I have gotten better at editing and explaining. I appreciate your input. A thought on my part that just came to mind is probably most either need a long video to do this, or they do need a video at all. What is the average length video you usually post?

@@KevinLauscher Yes, I agree from the bottom would be the best. (So would a hoist) These are meant for folks who have never worked on vehicles, or ones with limited knowledge! Plus, these are done kind live, that is I have never done one before so not sure how to approach it. Quick example as to how your explanation is overly simple, had someone complaining that I didn’t shown enough about how to disconnect the main connector. I thought I had shown enough. My newest videos are now all about 8-11 minutes tops.

@@angiieXXxox I sound like Sully? Humm, maybe. Hope you got the mirror working! Have you figured out what the issues is?

@@lakesautomotivediagnostics6509 Thanks lakes! Not sure how good the aftermarket LED lights are. So far anything I have bought in the aftermarket does not last a 1/4 of the length of time as the factory. I guess good enough if selling the van!

@@unclemarksdiyauto 💯

@@andrewsams335 Good to know how it comes out. I would have to watch the video again as usually you can’t see anything. A bad actuator usually just clicks or does nothing.

@@landry1980rl désolé mais un ami a fabriqué l'outil sur mesure pour moi. De nombreux magasins ont également fabriqué leurs produits sur mesure. Je n'ai pas encore trouvé le bon outil à vendre. Un grand bonjour du Manitoba!

@@unclemarksdiyauto ok merci beaucoup. Je vais essayer de trouvé quelque chose. Un Bonjour du Québec

@@SakibAhsanTamim-p1t Thanks for caring! Part of my problem is I am always working on another make of vehicle. So if you drive a dodge, your not much interested in seeing me fix a Chevy, are you now. These are tutorial videos. I will keep plugging away at them.

@@SakibAhsanTamim-p1t If you want, you can give me some free advice here, I would not say no.

@@bigrobotnewstoday1436 I remember programs back in the day that would do it. Interesting that did work. I did not know that. I do remember that the programs that were out there to copy dvds would not retain the exact same resolution. Back to ripping, not so easy with a bluray. I don’t believe it is very cheap either. I have not heard of average folks doing that. Take care, and thanks for your input!

@@pythonprogrammer7354 Yep. Next time! Thanks!

@@jesussosa5335 Parece que estoy presionando mucho. ¿Cuál es

@@louisfryzel4618 I usually use double sided automotive moulding tape. A small roll is probably more than new whistles. The tape is good for resticking on all sorts of auto trim.

@@unclemarksdiyauto Yes. I just thought I could find a way to use what I have instead of having to buy a new set. But I'm seeing lots of deer up here in upper New York state and I have had to go on some long drives for work and coming home when it's dark.

@@louisfryzel4618 we have lots of them here too in Manitoba, Canada! They are worth having on.

These newer vehicles seem very upset if battery terminals get dirty, or the battery is low. Both can cause all sorts of weird issues. Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see you again soon. What kind of vehicle did this work on?

@@unclemarksdiyauto you're right, it was only my driver door acting weird, I thought for sure, that doors actuator was failing. It was on a 2017 Nissan cargo van 2500. I still can't believe this was all that was needed to restore functionality, you're the man!

@@absolute.freedom I think we were both lucky! Hope it keeps working well.

@@bearcat9696 So nice to hear, Bearcat! Got to keep these nice cars running.
