The 1st Vehicle To Come Into Our New Diagnostics Studio! (Ford Mustang No Communication w/ ABS)

This was an exciting day! Although you saw our set up in the previous video, in this one you will see us getting some of it set up. This Mustang came in with a complaint of an ABS light, possible draw, and a window issue. We will work through the issues and find the root cause of each. We hope this helps. Enjoy!

Thanks for letting my Mustang be the first in your new bay and studio. Thanks for all your help with fixing my old pony. I'm really hoping I get to see some of the repairs too. My family will be very surprised to see this when I share it. I really do appreciate all that you do with your shop and employees.👍

[@toma5153]

Nice to see your car well taken care of by a pro and not by whoever failed you previously. It's a shame that the module is already obsolete. I'm looking forward to the follow-on video.

[@johnl5525]

I want to see you drive away from the shop with a smile on your face.

Definitely like to see the results of your troubleshooting

[@lyfandeth]

Your son Micah is so restrained and self controlled in the background. Tell him he's been SO good that even the YT viewers have been impressed. The car? Well, yeah. Its a FORD.(G)

[@theroyaltyautoservice]

Thank you! That’s his grandson and the me (S3 the cameraman) son. He’s a great kid!

[@laser4117]

You definitely edited out the part where you knocked the stuff off the top of the toolchest :D

[@TStheDeplorable]

I love seeing the young boy watching you work. He's fascinated. I especially liked when you were rolling the cart across the parking lot and a set of magnifier glasses fell off and he instantly picked it up and put it on his head. What a great example of hard work and smart work and service to others he is getting!

[@RobLaing-i2r]

always great to have a son ,grandson in the workshop showing interest ,well done grand son you are learning from the best hope the new room brings you years of happiness

[@davidrandolf9922]

As seen on South Main Auto KZbin, You should probe on backside of connector when possible to avoid possible pin connection to module problems later. Known as back probing. Eric on South main auto has wonderful diagnostic videos easy to follow and he breaks it down to easiest areas to eliminate. Worth a good start at diagnostic problems and tips and tricks to get started on your new shop area. And as he says never trust your wire diagrams or tools, they can lie to you, have backup wire diagrams from different sources and backup diagnostic tools, and sometime plain ole visual tracing wires manually. Redrawn diagrams and color codes may not match, but old school tracing can get you back on track. Like your videos also, very informative and enjoyable. Thanks.

[@davidfarmer7397]

Yes, we want to see it. 👍

[@Charlie-dv7ev]

Funny how I'll see comments on FB talking smack about you guys doing videos. But I see a vehicle in every bay and a parking lot full of vehicles. Kudos, brothers! Keep up the good work!

[@brettfdtm]

Sweet. A nice niche studio. Not many around. I am thinking the same as you. Services to solve serviceable problems. That is off the charts.

[@oldjarhead1125]

Nice video, good explanation on the process. Yes, would like to see R&R of both PLUS would like to see/hear approx. costs for this work, even if it's just time billed. Greetings from the Old Jarhead in WNC

[@bryantwhitis6446]

Expanding the business ! I like it when a shop deserves to be in business. Stays in business and prosperous. Might the new year bring the family much positive adventures.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

New studio area looks great! Love the tool box, I have one too! In fact I got a red one and my friend at work went with a blue one. haha

[@robertyoung4389]

I throughly enjoy your videos always very insightful with excellent explanations. Please do the repairs. I like to follow a case to it's ending Thank you for what you are doing. You add a lot to our profession. R.G. Young, Jr.

[@ablelock]

Yes, I think it would be interesting to see everything else installed put in and see the final results as you’re going through it. Look forward to seeing more of the video as the parts come in.😊

[@paxtonquigley1725]

Such a pleasure to watch a master at his profession.

I have to admit you rolling the tool box in the new studio gave me goosebumps ,,my fav video's are crank no start,,it's the mystery of why the fooo-r wont start

[@Eddiemac8343]

What a great kid ,quiet ,mindfull of you vidioing,verry respectful, hope u did him right via santa 👍

[@michaelhomdus4945]

Yes, i would like to see the conclusion of replacing the module. Thank you

[@rfwaves8794]

Yes, show everything getting fixed, window and new module thank you

[@garysgarage3669]

Did you edit out some of you pushing your toolbox in? It looked like you were going to knock some stuff off the top. I love all your videos, I laughed out loud watching you spin your shoes pushing your toolbox. My boxes are smaller than yours and mine sucks to move.

[@stephendill1128]

Now that you've gone through the diagnostic and have a good feel for what's wrong with it, I'd like to see the fix.

[@ThunderbirdRocket]

Tremendous job ! Fantastic coaching !! Extraordinary detail. Super helpful ! I learned lots ! Thanks .

[@alanross99]

Love these videos! I’m learning to DIY maintenance so these are very helpful. Everything you explain makes so much sense. Gives me some more confidence to work on my car myself. Surprising to hear that another shop couldn’t figure this out. Just shows you how important it is to find a good shop to work on your cars! Definitely want to see if the ABS module is bad and if replacing it fixes that issue!

[@caseybalvert3547]

I was in the trade during the points and condenser days. LOL. I find these diagostic videos fascinating.

[@brucemadden1626]

Jumping on the bandwagon with a big vote YES😉👍

[@garylee1544]

Great Diagnosis! Look forward to more video's from the Diagnostic Studio!

[@CrazyCat229]

What a toolbox! These videos are great. Your son is such a little trooper!

[@JoesAutoElectric]

Great job as always, Sherwood. My favorite vehicle too!

[@racerpgt]

Love to see the install

[@backwoods9168]

I’m very excited to see more of those diagnostic 👀 love everything that you do and the way you explain things

[@SouthMainAuto]

But you cut the part out where all the stuff on top of the box came crashing down pushing it through the door 😥

[@Mr2004MCSS]

When you were testing fuse 35 and it came up with nothing, I was yelling at the screen to push the brake pedal because I had seen on the diagram how fuse 35 was powered. I figured you would notice this at some point. I'm glad to see you using Joe's load it Jr. box. I just received mine the other day. He makes great tools. I would like to see you use some of his other tools like the PWM box and variable voltage box.

[@volcompunker82]

Looks like the door has ossues closing. On this year mustand the windows come out of they hold downs. I typically will remove glass and re-silicone the glass in when i replace the motors. Just a tip.

[@mthokozisisimelane2008]

Would be happy to see the Abs fixed

[@8power0]

THAT NEW DIAGNOSTIC BOTH ,,,,,,,,,,, IS SUPER CLEAN . HAVE YOU EVER HAD A ROOM JUST FOR DIAGNOSTICS BEFORE AND LOOKING FORWARD TO EVERY VIDEO !!!!!!!!!

[@josephvantreeck2989]

Nice presentation area Sherwood. Please continue on with this repair, you have an uncanny way of doing investigations based on the tools you have invested in...and I've not seen before. Thx!

[@JeffCanham-yq5wd]

Would love to see the video of the window motor and the ABS

[@FredTrachte-n9n]

I would like to see the ABS module replaced and programmed

[@052RC]

You press a couple of buttons and watch the progress bar until its finished.

[@bobbrown9277]

As a guy who wears glasses keeping them clean helps.lol.awesome video as always.

[@scottgeorge50]

Awesome diag to identify the problem! I really like the new service bay with the tool boxes.

[@Mustangman2003]

I just bought a 99 mustang with a abs light and no communication this is a big help from someone who’s not great with automotive wiring and can communication!

[@052RC]

It's likely that the fix for your car will be different than the one in this video. Also, Ford products are a lot more complicated then most other brands. You may want to get the workshop manual for your vehicle and the wiring diagrams if they're separate. That said, their diagnostic support is pretty good. If you have the manual you can look up problems by DTC's or symptom. They give you step by step instructions on exactly what you need to do to figure out what's wrong. You don't have to be a high level tech. As long as you follow the steps, you'll figure it out.

[@052RC]

I almost forgot some info you may find useful. When you scan for codes, they'll start with a P, B, C or a U. U dtc's are communication codes. You don't diag off of U codes. I'm telling you this because this video is about a communications fault. You would think those are the codes you have to look at. You don't. You start with the first 3, in that order. Powertrain, body and chassis. There are some cases where you have to diag U codes, but its rare.

[@pab892]

yes ,Please show the complete job. I always like finished success stories. 😄

[@MORPHMORPH-p5w]

I’d like to see all of your repairs done to the point to where you roll the vehicle out!

[@thomaseboland8701]

Great video with your diag bay. This is a normal critique of a new place, but you might want to check the lighting for video. It seems a little garish on human faces. I'm sure that you have noticed it, it's a fine first video kind of thing. Good luck and want to see more!

[@Roboticdoughbull3k]

💯 Appreciate the videos, Royalty is amongst my go to good guys who do it right channel list. You can believe me when I say it is not a long list sadly. GOD bless keep it up🍻

[@marineF250]

That power probe draw tester is awesome. It sucked using the Fluke and then having someone open the door and blow the fuse in my meter.

[@petemedina8446]

This is a very cool video looking forward to seeing you put the ABS module and window motor in hopefully the module you get since it is used is good

[@divnbum1308]

Definitely would like to see it all the way through.

[@timmccarthy8816]

Yes, would like to see the second half of this video with the used ABS & window motor.

good stuff even if I don't know what I'm looking at

[@Ssurrett]

Awesome video. I love all the content especially the scopes!!!

[@mjtengineering6538]

When you checked grounds in the connector you had the negative lead of the multimeter connected to battery negative instead of the ground lead side of the light box. So you really weren’t measuring the quality of the ground with the multimeter measurement. The intensity of the lights would have indicated a bad ground, but not the meter reading since it was just reading the voltage across the battery terminals each time. I think that was just an oversight but just wanted to point that out for those watching

[@MustangFord]

Yes show us more videos on this pony

The Icon toolbox looks great👍

Yes , show us more please. Local ford dealership s can’t fix anything unless a yellow light tells them what to replace.

[@hugoolmos4942]

Exciting to see this video from your new studio shop 🎉!

[@billsimpson604]

Those ABS modules can be complex to bleed. Fortunately, you can drive without them in those old Fords. When mine goes out, I'll just ignore it. I hope you can find an ABS unit that works. I think they have replaceable parts inside, so some can be rebuilt it you can get the correct parts. They are quite complex, so it is fortunate that you can ignore them failing in some states.

[@sotopr7]

First time see your video and men, very impressed. Thank you

[@personalimpressions4749]

Yes on the video! I would like little man to hold the flash light next time. 😅 😂

[@zarikparsanian3940]

Great video, I would like to see the remedy for the ABS module.

[@ronaldbrosius7488]

You don't need to replace the pump, just watch a video on this, very common 10 min job, remove 6 torx , just replace the abs module, easy , no disconnecting Any brake lines, can do in car no bad

[@052RC]

He may not have a choice. Ford discontinues parts support for their vehicles after 10 years. This one is double that. What's even worse is they keep track of what's available in the aftermarket. If there's poor aftermarket support for certain items, they take any new stock they have left and jack the price up. In the last couple of years I had 3 or 4 customers with Escapes abandon the vehicles because of the price on a new abs pump/module. They usually go for around $1000. Ford knows they can't be found in any non oem brand, so they raised the price up to $6000 just for the part. Next time you see Ford's CEO on the news complaining about the dealers, and want to get rid of them, think of this example. Every dealership is owned by a different person, and they just don't have that kind of leverage where they can go on TV any time they want.

[@JohnDavidHays]

Yes, finish the job

[@joelkarjalainen19]

Yes we wanna see that too👍🏼

[@danielkearns3600]

Moving that tool box made my heart skip a beat thinking drawers were going to fly out and box flip over and see tools all over the parking lot. I would had 4 guys helping me move it. I had owner moving his box years ago to clean the floor total loss a box moving it. He just thrower his hands up said some choice words closed the shop door and left till Monday when he had cooled down but was still mad at drawers unlocking and flying open and flipping over
