Thank you for fixing my car!! You're awesome!

[@rickdennis605]

Glad to see you’re back to making diagnostic videos. Have not seen any in a while. Always enjoy watching the way you figure out problems

[@caryoga3211]

This has to be one of the best parasitic draw diag videos I’ve ever watched! Thanks so much Mario for being transparent and showing us the real process. This taught me a lot and I’m excited to get back onto a customers Mercedes S500 with a draw issue. Got to get me one of those thermal cameras now 👌🏻

[@jerryr5611]

Good video Marrio! I wish the motoring public would watch these videos and fully understand the complexity of their problems as well as the time and resources it takes to solve them. Let’s see.. Alldata, hand tools, a thermal imager, 2 lab scopes, an amp probe, and a technician that knows how to effectively use it all!

[@DTEAuto]

Thanks for the good breakdown walkthrough in which you remind us to not be so quick to make a call. I just recently acquired a thermal adapter and I have 2 draw cars I've been avoiding, I'll see if it helps any as it guided you on this example.👍👍

[@fredsalter1915]

Yet another informative vid from SMD!!! Please keep them coming! Happy New Year to you, too!

[@marianodeocampo5569]

Your due diligence is awesome. Awesome job. I need to pick up one of those thermal imagers for sure. Thanks for sharing the experience

[@v8motors.]

You didn't go wrong, you went right! you kept going and showed the two false positives with the door & tipm. Glad you left them in. 👍

[@mikejr550]

Very nice find! Those issues are so time consuming to pinpoint. I love the way you tackle faults with such precision, your training and expertise really shows. The way you navigate Alldata is great and I always learn new search tricks when you show your navigation process. Thank you sir!!

[@tommckelvey3609]

Excellent Video!! Thank you!

[@mike-s8n8y]

I wish manufacturers would release the wakeup and shutdown data of their networks to technical service providers , great video most dont show the real struggle and fails along the way.

[@IamKurr]

Had one a few months ago where the drivers door latch was intermittently showing the door as being open. Was happening so fast, the scan data wouldn't show it. Scoping the circuit was the only way to see it was opening.

[@Shelby-ug5cl]

Great content appreciate your videos and step by step details. You are a game changer in this though industry.

[@rrmech11]

Very impressive. You really have matured since I started watching your channel. You deserve that for all the time and effort you have put in

[@gautorepair]

Excellent diag bro. I've been burned by those draws myself. They are one of the most difficult to electrical issues to figure out in my opinion. Enjoyed the video

[@woody95124]

Very good work bud..I guess you can get sidetracked & misled real eazy.. Very good & complete & thorough diagnostic s......

[@kyletuttle9064]

Thanks for sharing with all of us.great video Mario,keep them coming.

[@BigDogDiagnostics]

Had a draw on one of these last year. Ended up being the master window/lock switch. Had been all over town an nobody thought to suspect the grimy soda spilled on inop switch.

[@Bikerman42]

Great video. Finding a draw can be a pain.

[@mike-yp1uk]

I liked the full length video because there's more tid bits of ideas and tool tech tips.

[@PaulCTownsend]

Good job thank you.

[@mikechiodetti4482]

Ever since modules replaced mechanical, followed by CAN bus connections, current draws have been a nightmare! Some trainers will say it's easy others know better. Enter "INTERMITTENTS" and all bets are off! You are persistent which makes you the go to guy! Good one Mario! Keep up the good work!

[@jeremyah78]

Wow! That draw could swallow dudes whole! Hard to stay on track when logic seems to lead to illogical results! Eh to stay with it Mario! I definitely learned something watching this one✌️

[@akaitv6606]

Dodge and chrysler are notorious for clear coat on ground wire connections to body , bad earth's are very common for electrical issues in these cars .

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Yo whats good Mario

[@gregorygreubel]

Amazing

[@Discretesignals]

Automotive diagnostics and programming KZbin channel had a similar issue on a 19 dodge Ram. He found his issue unplugging parts of the databus at the star connectors. Very interesting vid. It's too bad they didn't use star connectors in your vehicle.

[@SuperMarioDiagnostics]

Yes that would’ve been awesome. This was before they started doing that

[@martinarrieta248]

Grasias

[@cdsfleetrepairs]

Awesome video, most not all really have no idea what it takes to find these annoying problems with circuits, curious to know how long it took to find and correct this issue

[@iliesirbu967]

Great Video, one question, "Why the thermal image didn't show up any heat from the sunroof fuse, when you disconnected first time the radio fuse? (thermal image its great but sometimes it can make you to go around the problem, wouldn't be easier to start unplugging module's fuses?)

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

Great video great job. How long was total time on diagnostics

[@gilbertomoran7420]

Great diag Mario . Did you get any temperature scans of sunroof module ? Just curious if it would catch it thru headliner.

[@SuperMarioDiagnostics]

It did not show up on the thermal imager, i confirmed

[@gilbertomoran7420]

@SuperMarioDiagnostics ok, cool, thanks for the tips. Keep it up brother !

[@clampingdiode]

After everything times down, did you still have aprox. 150mA? Big difference from 4A, but still enough to kill a battery in 3-4 days.

[@SuperMarioDiagnostics]

Went down to 11 milliamps

[@clampingdiode]

Thanks 4 the clarification@@SuperMarioDiagnostics

[@robertmobileman8304]

great diag Mario , cheers man

[@djosbun]

Mario, I feel that Bernie would be quite proud of your skills.

[@MDTA-AUTO]

what was the thermal cameras didn't catch the name

[@SPARTANTRAD3S]

How much is it to diagnose a parasitic draw? My Dodge Challenger has one.

[@jgeorges3061]

Mario, you rock brother great approach and thought process this was indeed confusing with tipm and door module learn some thing new and is that 4 channel scope u using inside the car a link would be appreciated thanks for sharing. cheeeeers from Ontario, Canada

[@SuperMarioDiagnostics]

Yes it’s a micsig scope sato1004

[@thesmartguy3523]

Awesome 👍

[@jordysandino6577]

Muy instructivo marito👍🏽

[@SPMech1]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@DS-ss7vl]

👍 What is the model of your thermal camera?

[@SuperMarioDiagnostics]

Seek compact pro

[@jordysandino6577]

Feliz año Bonito video marito . Una pregunta ¿ el migsin se puede usar para in Cilinder presure wave fo? Muchísimas gracias marito . Dios que continué bendiciéndote

[@scientist100]

Si se puede mientras puedas conectar el adapter.

[@jordysandino6577]

¿Sea de pico o de Ats lo puedo usar con el micsig primo ? Muchísimas gracias primo

[@scientist100]

@@jordysandino6577 si, Los sensores solo mandan voltage, entonces solo tienes que poner la resolución correcta para que se vea la señal.

[@jordysandino6577]

Muchísimas gracias primo . Marito nunca contestó los comentarios 😂

[@Stormin06096]

Great job using the scientific testing method of "A" "B" "A".

[@ws2664]

How come that fuse for roof didn't show a heat signature on your camera?

[@SuperMarioDiagnostics]

Because the bigger the fuse, the harder it is to see small draw flowing through it If it were an ATM mini fuse, I’m sure it would’ve appeared on the thermal imager

[@ws2664]

I wished it had worked that would have saved you a lot of work. Great video!@@SuperMarioDiagnostics

[@DJ-tn7vj]

Yo where you been bro?😅

[@herbertwatson5101]

How you like the new migsig

[@SuperMarioDiagnostics]

Love it. I really like the model with the buttons

[@herbertwatson5101]

Thanks for the info got to start using mine
