Looks like it could be a fuse for a car stereo amplifier install. Usually those fuses are mounted to a metal plate which uses an existing bolt in the engine compartment. To protect from electrical hazards from the live unfused part of the wire, the fuse should be within about 6 inches of the battery.

Customer declines. I did a caliper replacement, but was only authorised for that one. Year later, its bro goes. Oh well. Beautifully done Mr. O. Classic Fault Finding.

One time I ran my fuel low and it started sputtering as I was going to work. But it was inconsistent. As I thought about it as I drove closer to work I thought that the low fuel level had something to do with it. Since the pump was sucking up the yucky stuff that all gas tanks will have due to water collecting in the tank. Sure enough after I filled the car ran perfectly. A couple of days later I thought I bought a bottle of gas dryer to pour into my gas tank. I drove to work and I could feel a weak miss from the engine. I drove home and it was the same thing. I thought about it and I figured it was the fuel filter being clogged due to the gas dryer doing its job of getting rid of the water in the tank. I checked it a day later and sure enough the fuel filter was very dirty. It was colored brick red from the build up of rust particles being caught by the filter.

at 18:10 in the injector replace video the customer said he was going to do all 5 if one more went bad. Did they actually?

Yeah, that is why most mechanic I worked with say do all of the injectors or take it somewhere else. When 1 or more have a problem, then the others are not far behind it. Do 1 or 2, then they comeback... and they always say the new failure is the one done before. I hated being a mechanic.

Eric, you diagnose and fix one thing, then another thing pops up. You know what I think….. there is a little gremlin that is switching the injectors when nobody is looking. Sneaky little buggers. Happened on a couple of fuel nozzles in a Huey helicopter we were flying routinely for scout missions. BTW, it was a foreign gremlin!

I usually offer the customer, the option of replacing the entire set of injectors, or the one that I found bad. That way if another injector goes bad, the customer doesn’t try to pin it on me……or if he does try to pin it on me I can remind him (or her)that they were the one who made the decision not to replace the set.

Hi Eric. Hey this is SMA You Post we watch. And still find them interesting. 1 thing computers have done is make it easy to back check previous invoices or a vehicle history for repeat customers.

It blows my mind how many vehicles you get with the fuel light on. I never let that light come on period, let alone when dropping it off to be worked on lol.

They leave a car with a note : Needs fixing . But what they DIDN'T say : They stripped the oil drain plug and LEFT IT OUT or a brake line rusted out , or ran out of gas ,or they cross threaded ALL the lug nuts , I couldn't get that caliper on with new pads . Let's FIRST go for a test drive ! 😄 Surprise ! Great diagnosis and fix .

cLikely yet another failed or failing part feeding data to the computer, and the computer saying "Nope! That's implausible given other data!" Sorta like wheel speed vs. engine rpm's vs. some other data. The computer is doing the same thing, yelling "Ye canna change de laws of physics!" and throws a flag/code on the whole thing.

Our power transmission flushes for a 2014 Honda accord he good or bad way to go to service the transmission. No issues with the transmission at this time and it has about 120,000 miles on it. Service was just performed on timing belt spark plugs etc. and everything else appears to be in good shape.

About the glitch of the #1 not being killed for the full length of the test period; I have seen some vehicles that show the #1 as a default as it's at the top of the list but it's not really selected until you use the pull-down to check it off. The default works, but only until the software runs a few cycles.
