It worked thank you so much!

Appreciate it, got it done today

Not helpful all you want to do was talk.

2016 PM 1500. Both low beam headlights are out. I'm the original owner never and issue with headlights until now. New low beams bulbs installed still not working however high beams are ok. Any suggestions? TIA

Great tip! I tried it and it's fixed! Thank you!

Dude! Use a small breaker bar instead of that stubby little ratchet, you’re making this more difficult than necessary…

Do you know where you’re going or are you just winging it?

I have a promaster city anyone know of a link to replace the whole bulb connector wire harness thing to the van? My whole connector dry rotted

It’s an enduro bike, not a dual sport but does a great job though as a dual sport bike !

Irrespective of any negative comnents from users i founf this podcast very informative - it's slick & not too long - yes it's an adventure bike that has a almost 30 year solid reputation - bought one recently from a fellow houbg through a divorce settlement so got a bargain - every time i get on this bike i like it mire & more - i have subscribed so keep on pushing out the podcasts irrespective of the 'turkeys'

thank you

Nice ride. Is it good compared with a 450cc bike for a tight track like this one?

This just happened to my 2019 Promaster 3500. I tapped on the side with the screwdriver and it started working. Saved my life, leaving for Michigan Friday morning so heat is going to be critical! Thank you for this video !!🎉

what did you spend on the rebuild?

Screwdriver trick worked awesome. Ready for northwest weather.

Your video helped me understand why the roof skin of my van came loose from the trusses. The air pressure pushed the roof up. It makes a terrible rattling noise at higher speeds.

Dec 2024. Complete kudos to you! This is EXACTLY what occurred on my 2016 Promaster 1500 and your fix worked!!! A wire jiggle, a screwdriver tape and the actuator moved. Thank you Professor!👍

Good video , I just bout a 2024 501 W and it rums like shit pops and farts and stalls way to much. tryied desmoging and tuning up the idle, still runs like shit, just wondering if its because i did not purchase and install a tuner ? i have had 4 other 5oos and never had to tune they just ran great forever

Wont work on mine as i have a "wall" where the bulkhead would be 😭

Damn. Out of all the dirty holes I’ve seen on the internet, this is definitely the dirtiest.

UNBELIEVABLE!!!! THANK YOU! Tapped it a few small taps and heat is back working like new

Thank you for this video. I too have a Promaster 2500 2017 with less than 50K miles. Lost cabin heat this weekend. I checked all the forums. The former had elaborate explanation was good but video is priceless. I tapped the actuator as you suggested with my finger and substantial dust fell. And the actuator arm started moving. As mention, heat returned. If it happens again, I will definitely tap again and possible use a air compressor to blow any accumulated dust.

What sort of air compressor do you use to get the constant 60-80 psi.

Where is the actual hvac module? I have no power to mine, no heat or air. Want to replace the module myself then take it to get proxi alignment.

I tapped with a pair of wire strippers it worked

I’m here to say thank you. It worked for me too.

Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!! Amazing fix...Worked just as you described. So grateful.I subscribed and thumbs up! 🙏

I've started using a friends 2500 Promaster for what looks like the duration of winter. The heater blows cold.. I followed your instructions , used my hand to bang on the actuator . It started moving and now I have heat. I'll not adjust the heat just in case I'm not lucky twice. Thanks very much :)

I just picked up a 2019 501, only because only 2k miles and never saw dirt,,,,At 61 Im loving shreading these things, already had a 2018 450EXC and I cant see parting with either one,,, Both are set up Sumo and uncorked, Ill keep my knobs on one of them, I have to say I lean towards the KTM450 prob mostly cause Im so use to it, 501 is really sweet only knock I really have is the vibration as stated,,,, list of mods is, lets just say EVERYTHING. Nice having a 450 w/ PDS and a 501 with linkage rear end. If your thinking about getting one just STOP and GO GET IT,

I'm 62, and I was able to change my serpentine belt with this video. Thank you so much!

Thanks , I didn't think this was my problem. I could open my side door from the inside, but not from outside. I struggled to remove the assembly with the cables. It took me a while to figure out the top latch, needs to be removed from outside on rear top of sliding door. This video saved me, time,and money. Dealer was booked out 6 weeks, so I did the repair off your video. I ordered from Amazon, and the part was correct. I couldn't wait for dealer repair, because most of the time when at a customers house on the street, someone will park behind me, not allowing rear door entry.

Nice video, Do you know the Crank Trigger Pattern for an aftermarket ECU?

Great video!

I can't see how to send you any money. Would love to send you a "thank you" gift as you saved me $1500!!

Thank you soooo much!! This worked even better than I had hoped! I am elderly and closing the door was very hard on me. My son was ready to order a $1500 automatic door. Sending you a little thank you gift!!... if I can figure out how!!

Wow, I smacked them and they came on, that’s crazy!

Thank you! Your saved me a ton of work. Your video prompted me to put some pressure on the white arm while turning the temperature knob from cold to warm, and that did the trick. The arm was just "frozen." Now it freely moves up and down as I turn the temperature knob back and forth.

Let me add another voice to the "Oh my God, it worked!" chorus... Thank you so much. 2021 Ram Promaster 3500. It had been sitting for a few weeks in early fall while we were overseas. We came back to a cold snap and turned on the heat... nothing! A few taps on the actuator is all it took.

Warm, you saved me from going to the mechanic, it was exactly what I had

Thanks great video

Anyone here that truly solved the vibration issues in a way that everyone else can replicate without too complicated solutions nad that works over time as well? thanks for any tips on what methods to look into...

is there a way to add power buy cutting a cord or a break sequence to increase stock piwer

what can I do to upgrade the speed on it. and other upgrades and were wld I buy em??? thanks.

Are you in sales cuz im sold haha

I have the front door wide open and we still have to slam it. From inside we have to shift everything around spin the seats climb over every night to attempt to close the slider to be able to lock the doors from the inside when camping. Without the front door wide open and someone slamming from the outside we can’t close it. I guess this wasn’t the adjustment I was looking for haha.

Thanks for your help!

I ride a 2011 310te. Love it. It light and nimble and dual sport. But it's slow on top end. What's the fe501 like at 50 or 60mph

Use thread locker and mark all your bolts with a paint pen.... That way you don't have to worry as much about loose bolts and you don't have to keep torquing them over and over again.

It’s extremely difficult to attach the cables to the new latch. The top cable must be hooked first. Then it’s extremely hard to attach the yellow clip once the top cable is connected. It’s best to leave the old top cable in place and replace the other 2 cables
