Just ran across your videos a couple of days ago, Great work man, you do great at explaining what you're doing, these are the best kind of videos for people to learn, I'm watching them all, wondering what state you're in. Anyway I'm subscribed, you're doing great, don't listen to anyone saying anything different, I watch all the mechanics videos and and for whatever reason I'm able to learn from yours very quickly, keep up the great work.

Great job. But I have to laugh at the beginning at how many times you tried to start it 😂

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

Brandon J Lol!! Thanks!!

[@johnemmons9087]

Great job with explaining everything in detail. I have the same bus with same problem just a little differently. Seemed to have happen over night! I have 13 volts at batteries lower voltage in other places. Instrument panel won’t light up and of course won’t start. Anyone with any ideas? Thank you

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

John Emmons My Pleasure!! it sounds like you have a major voltage drop somewhere, check your main power and ground junctions for corrosion

I have same problem but mine has no corrosion i replaced the starter relay and still nothing my starter reley is not receiving power when I crank it and my odometer is not working

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@bigdogsgarage check the wiring!

[@maddoxm4565]

Hi KD great video, i was wondering if you do any service calls in Philadelphia. I have a 2001 bluebird bus with a similar problem but i bought the bus from a auction with hope of converting into a motor home.

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

Maddox M Hi, I'm sorry! I don't do Service calls, Can you find a shop locally?

[@nicholasphillips5406]

Great video! I’ve got a 1991 blue bird tc2000 that had a similar problem of starting them shutting off, then struggling to start, now ultimately won’t turn on at all. It’s gone completely dark. Nothing happens when I turn the key. Any idea where to start?

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@nicholasphillips5406 check your starter relay and your starter!

[@gailm3154]

In class we are learning how go read wiring diagrams, I hate it, but im hoping this helps makes sense of all this.

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

Gail M I know this was straight to the point, I talked about the process but I didn't show a wiring diagram! if you have questions about how I went about fixing this problem, I would like to refer you to my how to diagnose a starting circuit video on a Hyundai Sonata!! look for that video, I did include a wiring diagram on that video, I'm pretty sure that video will helpful to learn how to read a wiring diagram, it's the same components for the most part weather it's a bus or a car!!

[@samtshishimbi8584]

Hello there, so i have a blue bird bus that was running perfectly fine but we left it seated for sometime and by the time we came back it was full of rats so I’m guessing they probably chewed the cables or something… so the engine turned and fires up sometimes but immediately shuts down after couple seconds or sometimes just turn over without starting, any suggestions? Any idea where we should be looking? Thanks for your help.

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

Sam Tshishimbi check the basic things first!! are you getting fuel at the high pressure pump?

[@geocastro7778]

Where did u order the part? Great video

Well that was a bit disappointing. I do love your videos but this was a bit anticlimactic

@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repairnothing wrong with the video at all. It was just such a simple quick and easy repair. Not much of a challenge or thought provoking process. I will let tell you I always do learn something from every video.
