Buick Enclave: The Repairs - Object Detection Module & Harness

[@hackfabrication139]

Eric, I'm somewhat concerned about the well being of 'Lawnmower Man'. Two videos, and he hasn't been out cutting the grass. Better call 911 and get a wellness check on him....

[@avenger1888]

Really. Police don't kill people. They only kill fools that seem to think they're better than the police and then disobey what the police officer is asking them to do. Don't get me wrong they're some police officers that are sketchy but most are stand up honest people. If you think that they're all crazy with hate maybe you should become one. Let's see what you do when you come to a scene and have no idea what is going. Also why they stopped you cause you're speeding or something. At least show a wee bit respect for the law enforcement officers

[@JeepTJ-fg3ny]

Hahaha!! I forgot about Lawnmower man until you mentioned it. Great comment!

[@rickcreel9557]

[@imacgst27]

​@@Look_What_You_Didwhat a great comment to leave on a car repair video for someone trying to leave a funny comment. It bothers me more knowing that 13 other morons agreed with you and gave a thumbs up. Hopefully police officers never have to put themselves in danger or risk his or her life trying to save someone with you narrow-minded thoughts!

The SBZA (side blind zone alert) modules and UPA's (ultra sonic park assist) are still in the fascias just like seen here. I work at the Fairfax assembly plant and deal with nothing but the fascias all day everyday.

It's really nice that Vanessa and you are able to work together. Often when a couple that works a lot does so at two very different careers they get to where it's difficult to relate to each other. I know there are times when it's straining to be under each other's feet all the time but I think the benefits way outshine that. 🙂 Very happy for you both.

[@swurtz060506]

The people in your area are very fortunate have such an honest mechanic. But, it's not just the honesty, it's the pride you take in your work as well. There are a handful of people that I would let touch my car, and you sir are at the top of the list!

There is a possible carbon monoxide leak at 14:36 on the right side of the tailgate weatherstrip. Had the same with its Chevy counterpart. The position of the weatherstrip makes it easy to damage when sliding heavy objects out of the rear. My example only had the metal clip embedded in the rubber flattened over enough to look fine but not seal when closed, being ripped is possibly worse. The Weatherstrip might be popular as at the time the dealership had it in stock. Tool used was a Testo 317 but there's Klein and plenty of other brands available. It also answered the question of why the previous owner hadn't driven the vehicle for over 5 months. Great video E, got a failed side object module on the wife's car to replace next.

Up at 5am daily! Great video, love the little digs into the PRONY. Looks like the politicians need to revise the State Inspection Laws. They will probably call a special session and you will end up having to buy a new official State Sign, same as the old sign, but different colors.

[@Tsnor150]

".. buy a new official State Sign, same as the old sign .." I can hear Who playing in the background .. "Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss." PRONY is really funny. Glad the comments here stay real and don't get angry/ugly/political/bot comments. (subscriber since before there was a stove in the office. There was one set of serious threats from Eric re potential ugly posts on a video with Miss Hannah, fortunately not needed (or needed and no bodies found). Comments here are great).

Yup, the "You never know what you're going to get into until you get into it" deal! I would always qualify the job as a set price except for the things you can't see until you take it apart. Case in point, I gave a price on replacing a mobile home entrance door but would say before, if I take the door out and there's rotten wood, we go from there separately.

[@terencehawkes3933]

Well done Mr O. Your customer should be very glad you took the trouble to get the reader/programmers to do that job and you know how to use them. You are very very good at your job - far better than just about every tech! Love that NAPA stands for Never Any Parts Available.

Just this year, I actually had to do RAM's job and diagnose a "PARKSENSE /SHIFTER" problem on my 2019 RAM 1500 4x4. Turns out, it is a major problem RAM is having, that they are keeping hush hush, from the general public as well as their dealerships (yes I reported Chrysler for doing so). AFTER I thoroughly tested and diagnosed the problem *because they had no friggen idea!*, I then took it to the dealer for them to FIX (Warranty rules). I sent a complete dialogue of the diagnosis and repair, hoping to help the countless others suffering from this issue...............One family was in a serious accident when this problem occurred, causing the brakes to lock up, then making the truck and trailer jack knife, then roll several times, severely inuring the driver and his family onbaord. Chrysler/RAM has kept this major problem HIDDEN. They ARE aware of it, but have done nothing to correct the cause (BAD HARNESS CONNECTORS)

Eric, Great video and fix - thank you. Surprised you were able to use the same socket for the lug nuts that lost their outer sleeves as the ones that hadnt. Im old fashioned (driving 48 years) - 'blind spot detection' = turning your head. SMA#1 Paul (in MA) BTW MA annual inspection is $35 and they dont look at brakes at all. They do check ball joints. And its all recorded on camera (but nobody watches).
