5 Myths You'll Hear About Copart and Insurance Car Auctions

[@ThatDIYguy862]

private/3rd party sellers do bid on their own cars via a friend who have the ability to bid on them and it’s very common, to try to catch an unsuspecting buyer

[@ThatDIYguy862]

also it’s not always the best idea to hook up directly to battery with the jump start if there’s posts available on the front. This is due to everything electrical being connected to the battery whereas the jump posts on the front don’t. You’re putting power to everything when you hook up in the battery to jump it

100% had it happen to me mulltiple times with 3rd party seller i like to stay away from them since usally there up to no good always hiding stuff or trying to make a quick buck of unsuspecing buyers

Hey thanks for the video and all the info you put out there. I am a copart member and had same experience at most Illinois locations I thought i could show up and spend a few hours looking around. They said what are the lot numbers and brought them to me didnt let me walk around at all. Im in Illinois might get in touch soon for that dealer hook up of $150 to bid for me

Dude I have a q7 absolutely no power the fuse boxes have no power and the scanner have me like 20 codes I erased all but 1 code battery regulator control system just can’t be erased the fuse boxes get no power only a few on each box I was thinking it had the same problem you had with that Audi that it happened to be the fuse but the code it gave me route me towards battery control module 03041 part 0 199 000 017 any idea?

[@artemvysh]

I've read about this sort of thing being caused by water intrusion into the battery area. Tilt away the driver's seat, check the battery, test fuses and relays, as well as the control module that's also under there. Look for corroded electrical connectors. Best of luck!
