2011 Ford F150 - No Crank In Middle of Diag!

We have a 2011 F150 here in rough shape. I was called because the brake lights didn't work. I found a broken wire going to one of the lights. After I fixed it, the truck stopped cranking! Well, I had to diag that first, then go back to the lights. Hope you enjoy it! I know I didn't🤣

Finding that start relay ground issue on the ground wire on the ECM wow that was something to narrow that down so quick

[@shawn2296]

ya the start relay deserves its own video i has to rewind a couple times to understand what happened

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

@shawn2296 Sorry , I was frustrated at this truck; I should have explained it clearly.

[@navinjith3458]

i stll did'nt get that.

Got to wonder if these Customers/Garages are actually paying you properly for you time and expertise

[@MiguelGarcia-cd9bo]

This guy is a major pro I love watching your videos keep up the great work.

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

I appreciate that!

[@LaGuire]

I like how you use the power probe cable as a power/ground break out box. That will be especially helpful under the dash to be able to use the cigarette lighter outlet adapter. Good stuff brother

[@ElectroAtletico]

What a disgustingly filthy vehicle. I would not step inside it for repairs until the owner cleaned it.

[@mrblonde2013]

I have worked on worse...

[@illusion00]

Man you haven’t worked on a hoarders car before. One where you can’t see out of any windows except driver front and front windshield.😢 This is nothing…

[@nordicpride9708]

What a disgusting PIG PEN. Parents never taught this person to clean up after their slob selves. Gross!

I sometimes go to fix forklifts and man this truck looks very clean to me, lol...

This was a great video on testing a basic circuit on today’s modern vehicles. I especially appreciated the demonstration with the test light on the engine block, a classic move from Paul at Scannerdanner. However, it's concerning that the independent garage in question couldn't diagnose such a simple circuit test, especially considering that these professionals are supposed to be well-trained. It highlights a broader issue within the industry: technicians working on customers' vehicles without a fundamental understanding of how basic circuits function. Additionally, some shops seem to overlook the value of service information (SI), making it challenging to accurately diagnosing today’s modern vehicles. I can imagine this customer being billed for a battery, starter, and potentially a makeshift wiring solution, reminiscent of Frankenstein's creation, linking the brake switch to the brake light circuit. This underscores the importance of understanding basic electrical circuits.

[@ElectroAtletico]

A lot of Flat Rate guys don't like electrical diagnostic work - they don't make $$. Can't blame them.

Tremendous tutorial ! You work so fast ! I thought my video playback speed was on 2 X Speed ! 😆 Thanks mate . 👊🏼🔥

Thanks for the visit

[@WorkWithCesar]

I just had a ranger with water underneath the carpet wetting a connector that goes to the rear lights and abs speed sensor. Symptoms were hit turn signal transmission hunts or slips gear, intermittent brake lights. Very fun diag!

[@lucasellyson6872]

Id at least clean the interior w a scoop shovel if i was gonna have someone fix it for me lol

[@jimjones1678]

Would a back hoe do the trick 🤣

[@mike-cl1mm]

What a mess, the wiring and that beautiful King Ranch just trashed,,,, hard to work in that mess, should charge extra for that

[@jonalowe]

I'd bet the only reason they took it to be fixed was because they got a ticket for no lights.

[@kdmq]

Never heard of a code that could hard lockout the brake lights. I guess the engineers were more worried about an electrical fire than stopping people from being rear ended?

[@dckiller1129]

Not gonna lie i would love a truck set up video i seen some things that i want for my truck😂

They act like they can't wait to get back into that truck so they can add some more coffee cups on top of the ones that is in there. Where are they going to sit at now that the truck is fixed?

[@poweredbyford87]

This truck reminds me of an old day cab International that came in when i worked at an International dealership. Dude was an Indian dude i could barely understand through the accent, he smelled like he hadn't showered in weeks. I could smell the truck before i got to it. Ended up goin to the detail side of the shop and grabbing the plastic bag seat covers and the gloves they used to avoid touching the wheel, but the smell was so bad i stood with the door open on the running board and just idled it into the bay. Truck had like four piss jugs in it. No carpet, just white painted floor, stained yellow with a thick, sticky layer of piss and dirt. No kiddin dude had cut a big ass hole in the floor with a hole saw so he could piss while driving and not have to stop. Bottom of the cab was streaked with piss stains everywhere, and of course it had a blown airbag and busted shock mount on one corner, so everything i touched was possibly soaked in piss at some point. Pretty sure most of dude's smell and the crust on his pant legs was him missing the hole he put in the floor

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

lol this wasn't that bad.

Have a doubt. That smal wire gorund. Is that enough for an engine ground. Normely it big gaged wire right?

HI , ITS NOT GOOD If the probe tip voltage is within 0.25 volts of the source battery voltage, the Red LED will illuminate and if the speaker is turned on, the speaker will emit a high-tone.
