Airbag Fix (Green Crusties)

In this video we Diagnose and fix an Airbag Fault.
The car came from another workshop that had already changed a sensor, but that didn't fix the problem!

Another genius diagnostic journey led by Professor Dan, diagnostic PHD.......! These videos are pure educational entertainment at its highest level.... I have watched so many different car repair videos but no other even comes close to those produced by Dan. And the humour is an added bonus. Even if car repair isn't your thing, you cant help but enjoy this level of discovery. Thank you Dan..!

Great one as usual. It amaze me how quickly the other shop gave up especially since they had a really fat clue of where and what is wrong after switching the left and right sensors and noticed that the fault code stayed on the left. Seems like they rather pay you what ever you charge for that kind of diagnosis then spending thier time on it. Keep up the good work, you rock 👑👑👑

[@eggy1962]

time is money for shops and most likely the other garage felt it money well spent to send to expert, leaving them to get on with other work

[@christiang.9485]

@@eggy1962 For me it would not be about the time, but about the honor. If you don't find such a simple mistake, you can go home. But obviously they couldn't fasten all the screws properly again - there probably wasn't enough time, right?

[@Brian_L_5168]

When another repair shop sends their hard-to-solve case to Dan, it proves again Dan's diagnosis skill is at God's level. Another excellent work 💯

[@christiang.9485]

another "workshop"? Something like that is not a workshop for me if it doesn't find this quite simple error and then leaves behind such traces and missing screws. That's what my cars from the specialist workshops looked like, since then I've been doing everything myself again.

[@youutartur1104]

I'm buddies with another automotive electrician/diagnostician. He says the amount of guys that don't know the functions of a meter beside "V" is staggering. I myself find that many technicians don't know when to STOP using the meter, it also has limitations. I guarantee you this "simple error" would stump all the guys at my shop, but they can run circles around me doing heavy-line. Not digging at them, there is simply a specialty for every subject of a car.

As a retired VW/Audi tech we couldn’t solder connectors or a splice, had to use a special crimp connector that emitted sealant when heated with a heat gun, was definitely waterproof.

[@garybocking4541]

Was going to post the same thing, those pink/red connectors that you heat up were used rather than solder at VW repair shops.

We put the crimps over after we soldered it.

[@wearethe80s4sure]

Hey Dan, still enjoy your videos. Got rid of my 750li BMW phew. Now i have a Toyota Camry, not sure if you have diagnosed Toyota. Just wanted to say, that my AC wasn't working. The interesting thing was the flow sensor attached to the compressor was only reading 3.5volts when scanned. Needs 5volts to work, clutch wasn't coming on. Purchased a new flow sensor, removed old one and there was much corrosion under the sensor perhaps causing magnet to fail or lowering electric volts? Voila my AC is working great again. And because i listen to Diagnose Dan, diagnose John fixed it again. Hope this tip helps you one day like, you help all of us!

Great find! Keep up the good work 👌

[@MrYozkaya99]

[@mikechiodetti4482]

That was a very interesting area where the wire was corroded. Covered by the split loom it should have been well protected. Having the sound tool really helped. Good one Dan!

[@SeanBZA]

My guess it was there from the assembly on a jig by the loom maker, where it was cut as the sharp ends of the sleeve were put on. Passed the initial testing, and worked on the line, and worked till the vehicle was driven in water, which leaked and was held in by the loom there, and then the wire, combined with the voltage on the sensor, caused it to slowly corrode away. Best trip for doing those kind of joins is to use adhesive lined heat shrink over the solder join, and shrink it down to bond the hot melt adhesive to the wire, making sure to lightly sand the insulation at the area to get clean fresh non damaged plastic insulation, making for the most waterproof join possible to the sleeve and insulation. Liquid electric tape is also good, cover with that, then 3M insulation tape over, tightly wrapped, then again liquid electrical tape over that. Works well on boats to keep stuff in good shape.
