I'm conflicted since becoming a member. I love getting the new videos. I watch them right away, and it's a highlight of my day. But then two days later I get ANOTHER announcement about a new SMA video. Giddy as a schoolgirl I click on the new video only to find out it's just a reposting of the video I watched two days before.

I have a 2011 Kia Sorento that had exactly the same problem a couple weeks ago, but mine was not locking the doors. Made the diagnostic myself with some help from Kia forums, wiring diagram and basic logic with a multimeter. I took a chance at replacing the relays on the IPM module, but it involve unsoldering jumpers pins between 2 boards to access the relays and it took me about half a day to do it... something a garage won't do. I was really proud after replacing the relays and with all the soldering involved, that everything worked fine in the car after!

[@oldcynic6964]

Well done sir. I respect your courage in digging into it.

[@francoistombe]

Hyundais and Kias are notorious for door locks that won't unlock/open. 3 doors on my daughter's Elantra stopped working. In her case the cables stretched so that pulling the unlatch levers did not create enough movement to pull out the latching thingee. The dealer charged $300 per door. There was a delay because the harness was on back order due to so many being ordered.

This episode was one of the best! I had an absolutely great laugh and it reminded me of the fantastic mechanic we had for over 30 years. Just like you technically and an absolutely honest person who cares for his customers and treats his employees very well. He had to retire and sold his business to a local shop which seems to be very similar overall. Miss our relationship. He and his family lived catty corner behind us for a long time. Our children went to the same grammar school from kindergarten. He developed Parkinson’s and back problems. Super nice family guy. Take care of your health Eric. Your business exposes you to a lot of chemicals, petrochemicals, toxins and vapors that can be harmful. Please take the necessary precautions to reduce the health risks.

My dad ran a TV repair shop when repairmen made housecalls. I grew up with 2 TVs stacked on top each other. Picture on one worked, sound on the other worked. Dad never fixed either TV so we had to switch channels on both to watch TV. What's that saying about the cobbler's kids going barefoot. Here's a tip for Mrs. O: Start piling the dirty clothes in your car. That should be enough motivation to get your car fixed when Mr. O runs outta clean shorts. 😁

Total trust in him and I would drive them for a while then sell them on. Later I started keeping them because I liked them so much. I had several that I had less than 5K into that were worth over 10K. Many I would pass on to people who were down on their luck and just needed a reliable ride. Always good to help people out.

I get the feeling Eric. My wife is ordering parts for 04 Gmc (grand mother car) Shocks, power steering pump, fresh fluid flush, plugs and wires. Then it's my turn after my sister Tahoe is finally fixed. I ordered parts from a reputable dealership. I own the fact I did order the wrong part. No sweat, fill out da form, ship it back with my own funds. They will exchange the part I needed and it's in stock they said. Possibly a 4 day turnaround they said. After waiting on the 2nd week nothing. I let my sister know..she is on the hunt? Nothing, phone calls, nothing. Back to tracing the shipping. Sez they received it 1 1/2 weeks ago. They tell her, we are out of stock. I jump on their website anddddd...they show it in stock. Now she is getting the runaround. We are at the 3rd half week. Sooooo, instead of arguing with them. So I call another dealer, I ordered it. Now it's the waiting game.

[@olduhfguy]

@@FCSlim We never touched the factory harness. The 'worst' we ever did was piggyback vehicle fuseholders, or scotchlock onto a harness wire. The biggest complaint was all the tyraps , but those can be replaced.

Aftermarket stuff is great! I did over 3 decades in 12V mobile electronics. One repair option you may have had was connect to the lock/unlock outputs of the remote start and either directly control the locks if it had relays built in or worst case, add 2-5 pin relays to the outputs to operate the locks. Probably a much less expensive solution that does the same thing. See, aftermarket good.❤😃

I had one on a 2010 Silverado crew cab. It had the same symptom, drivers door lock/unlock, other 3 doors would just lock. Went through checking power/ground, traced circuit at pass door. I said there was no way it had 3 bad actuators. Unplugged the pass door actuator, hooked up a test light to the plug on both lock and unlock circuits, it would light from drivers door and passenger door switches. I removed the actuator from the door and found it right full of oily sawdust. Truck was a mill yard truck. Took a back door apart tested same way, took the actuator out, same. I had a front door actuator from another vehicle we were doing something else to. Plugged it in and it worked. i suggested we get some used actuators but since since the mill was owned by a larger forestry company that covers more than one province they said new only. i think they were like $400 a piece. I tried to tell them it would probably happen again and since we didn't do the drivers door it wouldn't be to far behind the other ones. But they weren't concerned. Truck only had 50k on it, they figured it would be rotted out first. To me it was such a fluke that it actually had 3 bad actuators, but enviroment strikes again, although its usually rust or corrosion issues.

I picked up the Autel version Power Probe. Nice tool, helped troubleshoot a bad wire in one of my tail light harnesses. It's cool to be able to power up or supply ground on demand.

Happy wife, Happy life. We men folks are procrastinators when it comes to working on our own stuff especially when it cost money.

I absolutely hated under dash work back when. Standing on my head upside down on a never cleaned carpet in the dark. Always a rush job to boot. Glad it's over but miss it. That's why I'm here, i guess. Thanks.

I like that move you did, Eric (applauding the other shop for not using the parts cannon). If it had been one actuator doing that, they would have replaced it, but the figured something was not right when 3 of them had the same issue.

Really glad you’re trying the Harbor Freight IKON high-dollar scan tool so that helps me feel better if I ever have to get that tool. I have the older Zurich Pro high-end scan tool that I bought second-hand from a pawn shop, and I’ve used it successfully to program key fobs to a used 2006 Toyota Highlander so that was a pleasant surprise, among other more standard diagnostics, so I can give a thumbs up for the HF Zurich Pro. And based on Eric’s video, the IKON’s screen interface and operations are very similar to the Zurich Pro, so again, that’s assuring!😁👍👍

Fix the van, Eric! Love this channel! Keep up good work, Mr and Mrs Eric O.

I had a similar experience with a 5.7 Hemi. The fuel pump relay was built in to the TIPM. I ended up cutting the wires connecting the TIPM to the pump and installing a relay I had laying on the shelf. Said TIPM was "on back order", and cost $1,100. I fixed the problem literally for free.

You are super sensational. Love how easy you find the problems.
