1 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,840 Speaker 1: Ron an Aian, I think a lot of you have 2 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: gotten away from that ge I want a cheap oil change. 3 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:08,320 Speaker 1: I think a lot of you are asking for an 4 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,239 Speaker 1: efficient oil change. I think a lot of you are 5 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: asking for a correctly done oil change. And I think 6 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: you're seeing the value in it. And I think the 7 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,120 Speaker 1: reason you're seeing the value in it is because of 8 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: the price of a replacement vehicle. The Car Doctor, it's 9 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: the ear that's sticking out of the frame, all right, 10 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,520 Speaker 1: Why does he have to gain access through a hole 11 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: in the floor? 12 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,480 Speaker 2: Exactly? That doesn't It does not make sense. 13 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: That doesn't make any sense to me either. 14 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 3: Welcome to the radio home of ron Ananian, the Car Doctor. 15 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 3: Since nineteen ninety one, this is where car owners the 16 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 3: world overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair. 17 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 3: If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up 18 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 3: the phone and call in the garage. 19 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: Orders are open, but I am here to take your 20 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: call at eighty five five five six ninety nine hundred. 21 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 4: And now it's up to you, Running Mom, this one's 22 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 4: for you. 23 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about being a detective and 24 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: doing order repair. Hold and welcome Running any in the 25 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: car doctor at your service. You know you get cars 26 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: sometimes that well, the answer is there, but it's not 27 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 1: so obvious, and you have to wear the raincoat and 28 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: take a look, just like good old Columbo would do. 29 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: Twenty nineteen, Honda CRV came into the shop this week 30 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: and Alex had just come back from a trip out 31 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: to Pennsylvania, and he said, you know, about halfway out, 32 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: the check engine light went on and then all of 33 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: a sudden it started to make this ratcheting noise, that 34 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:07,559 Speaker 1: engine ratcheting mechanical sound. And he's very descriptive, He's very 35 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: you know, spot on the way he describes things. And 36 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: I listened very carefully at the counter because it's important, 37 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: you know, that's that is probably the most important part 38 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: of a diagnostic routine, to listen to the way the 39 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: customer describes it and try and get them to be succynct. 40 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: You don't want to hear the whole story. You just 41 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: want to hear the key points, and sometimes you have 42 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: to heard them, and sometimes it's like herding cats. But 43 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: in Alex's case, Alex is usually very exact, so I understood. 44 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: I sent him on his way. I said, good, I 45 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: got it. I know what I'm going to do. You know, 46 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: we we conducted business at the counter, and know if 47 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: he went it had to check engine light on. It 48 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: had appease zer a one seven to one. It had 49 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: a lean fuel condition, meaning that and you've all had 50 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: this probably driving at some point in your career of 51 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: driving a modern day vehicle, you've all had the mechanics 52 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: say hey, it's got a lien code. A lien code 53 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:02,239 Speaker 1: means that basically the system has to add more enrichment 54 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,839 Speaker 1: or more fuel to the vehicle in order to try 55 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: and maintain and keep it running and keep it in 56 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: a missions compliance. Then it's required to Every vehicle has 57 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: a base setting. Every vehicle has a base software level 58 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 1: saying that this particular car requires x amount of fuel 59 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 1: per x amount of air in order to maintain the 60 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 1: operating condition. It's like all of us, right, if we 61 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: all went and ran to the top of the Empire 62 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: State Building, we would basically, you know, have different heart rates, 63 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: different pulses. Some of us might make it all the 64 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: way to the top, some of us has spent too 65 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: much time at the espresso bar or maybe the donut bar, 66 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: one or the other. But you get the point. So 67 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: I looked at his fuel trim, normal fuel trim on 68 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: a vehicle, short and long term. Without getting into a 69 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: long conversation about that, you'll see, you know, ten twelve, 70 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: fifteen percent short, short term, long term fuel trim, Alex 71 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: was at forty percent. He'd spent way too much time 72 00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: at the donut bar. 73 00:03:59,600 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 5: And. 74 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: You know it, it was really obvious this car was 75 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: starving for fuel. I went through my normal diagnosis. You know, 76 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: the vitals were good. If you're a good mechanic, you 77 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about. We went through, We went 78 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: through all the vital signs that the normal things we 79 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: look at, mass airflow, cool intemp, calculated load, the high 80 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 1: level indicators as we've come to call them, you know, 81 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: the things that tell us just like you're walking into 82 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 1: a doctor's office, heart rate and blood pressure, the things 83 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: that a doctor does to you on a regular basis 84 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: every time you show up. You know, are the normal 85 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: things there? And everything was there except mass airflow, well 86 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: not mass airflow was off. Calculated load was off. Calculated 87 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 1: load is a measurement if you look at it on 88 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: a scan tool, on a piece of diagnostic equipment, that 89 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: will tell you how well, the vehicle will respond when 90 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 1: you put your foot all the way down to the floor. 91 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: It is a calculated measurement of duress. It's that stress 92 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: test the doctor gives you how high your heart rate 93 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 1: will go. Now, normally, on a good running vehicle, we'll 94 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: see somewhere between ninety and one hundred percent. Alex got 95 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: up to sixty three percent. So I knew something was wrong, 96 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 1: and yet I couldn't condemn the mass airflow sensor because 97 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 1: the mass airflow sensor was correct at Idle. It's readings 98 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: weren't bad at Idol. It's readings actually weren't bad over 99 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: the curve because I looked at it on a fuel 100 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: curve piece of graphic equipment we have that told me up, yay, 101 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: up till this point it was good. It got to 102 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: this point and it just kind of stopped, like it 103 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: hit the you know, forty eighth floor of the Empire State, 104 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 1: and it went wait. I got to take a break. 105 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: So the last thing that I always do when I'm 106 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: playing Colombo and I'm wearing the rain coat and I 107 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: want to sit there and be sure, I'll take a 108 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: fuel sample. I had looked at fuel pressure. Fuel pressure 109 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: was good, the gage was hooked up. It wasn't hard 110 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,919 Speaker 1: to do. I took a fuel sample. What I was 111 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: looking for, what was in the back of my mind 112 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: was quality of fuel. I didn't expect to see what 113 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: I found. And what I found was it had ethanol 114 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: in it. Well, all gasoline has ethanol in it, but Alex, 115 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: it looked like he had E fifty fuel, if that's possible. 116 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: You know, ethanol content on most gasoline sold in the 117 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: United States is either E ten, E fifteen or E 118 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: eighty five if it's eighty five percent ethanol, meaning it's 119 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:39,799 Speaker 1: more ethanol than gasoline. I thought about it. I said, 120 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: how could he have a gasoline with such a high 121 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: ethanol content in it? And then I realized what the 122 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: story was. And I called Alex up and I said, Alex, 123 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about your car. I 124 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: said sure, and I said, let me tell you the 125 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: way this happened. And he said, okay. I said, you 126 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 1: went out to Pennsylvania. Everything was great, He goes, Yeah, 127 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: the car ran good, he goes. He said it was 128 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: good the whole way out. And I said yeah, but 129 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: about two hours out of your three hour trip, maybe 130 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: an hour and a half. You stopped and got fueled, 131 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: didn't you? He said, yeah, he says, I go to 132 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: this place just off Route eighty. He said, it's got 133 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: a hot dog stand. See it's the hot dogs that 134 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: gets you every time. See it's always food, and they 135 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: have a great hot dog stand. And I pump my 136 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: gas and I get back in the car, and I'm 137 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: there in another hour. And he said a short time 138 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: after that is when the light came on. And I went, okay. 139 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: So I said, what color was the handle of the 140 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: gas pump that you used? And he said, gee, I 141 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: don't remember. I said, if you had a guess, what 142 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: do you think it was? And he said he wasn't 143 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: quite sure. And I said it was yellow, wasn't it. 144 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: He said, yeah. How'd you know that? I said, because 145 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: it was ethanol. Alex put the wrong fuel in his Honda, 146 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: and without realizing it, he created the problem. And the 147 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: actual issue became the engine oil was down two and 148 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: a half quarts. It was low on oil. I believe 149 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,239 Speaker 1: he thinned the oil out because the mix was so 150 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: so thin that all of a sudden, now he ran 151 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: low on oil, created the rattle, created the check engine light, 152 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: and he's lucky to have made it home. I ended up, 153 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna and that's where it became E 154 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: fifty because I ended up saying to a Malex, you 155 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: gotta drive this. You got to get the rest of 156 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: the fuel out. We did an oil change. We made 157 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: sure it's got correct level of oil in it. You know, 158 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: he started out with eighty five. He's now roughly e 159 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: fifty forty five. He's got to run a couple of 160 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: more tanks through because he had just filled it up 161 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 1: prior to bringing it into us, because he had just 162 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: gotten back from Pennsylvania. And he's gonna be back in 163 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: two weeks, and I'm sure we'll get that the ratio 164 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: back down to where it's supposed to be. The point 165 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 1: of all this, if you're traveling, you have to think 166 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: outside the box. If you're if you're leaving your home state, 167 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: don't assume that wherever you're getting fuel, if you're doing 168 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: it on your own, that they have same fuel, that 169 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 1: all fuel is the same.

Frank, what's going on? 214 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 2: Yes, sir, it's a two thousand and nine Hondo accorded 215 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 2: with forty one thousand miles and I believe maybe It 216 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 2: started last year a couple of times, you know, the 217 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 2: weather was nice. I got out of the car and 218 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 2: then I noticed the windows were done, so I put 219 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 2: them back up for fine. Then like maybe two or 220 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 2: three months later, it just happened recently, about three weeks ago. 221 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 2: I went inside that the store came back up. It 222 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 2: was raining and all four windows were down. I said, oh, 223 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 2: come on, yeah, so I put them back up, and 224 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 2: I haven't had a problem since. Okay, you know it's 225 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 2: been you know that's my problem. 226 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: A couple of questions. Do you have more than one 227 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: remote for this vehicle? You have more than one key? Right? 228 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: How many kids? Yeah? 229 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, okay, yes. 230 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: Are you in possession of all the keys? You know 231 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: where they all are? 232 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 2: Yees? 233 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: All right. The reason I asked that is we had 234 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 1: a Chrysler many years ago that was haunted for the 235 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: longest time, and it was doing something similar, and the 236 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: customer had left the key under the driver's floor mat 237 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: with the power I rode attached and every once in 238 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: a while she was stepping on the remote and not 239 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: realizing it and creating her own problem, and we finally 240 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 1: lifted the floor mat when I asked her one day 241 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: I said, do you have all the keys? And she said, oh, 242 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: I'm missing one, so good, so you have all the keys. 243 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,319 Speaker 1: Are there any wet spots in the car, any signs 244 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: of water leaks, any water intrusion? 245 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 2: Well, well, do you know I just recently had it. 246 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 2: You know, it was raining, probably back in August. Yeah, 247 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 2: one day, Yeah, I was started leaking. I said, what 248 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,319 Speaker 2: the freak is this? So I took it to my 249 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 2: took to my body shop and they told me, yeah, 250 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 2: you know, Frank, you know, we we can fix it. 251 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 2: They bought it in the shop by waiting, they sealed 252 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 2: it and that was it. 253 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: Okay, you know what was leak? 254 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 2: And d you know? 255 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: Was it the sunroof? 256 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 2: It was no, no, no, no son roof. It was 257 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 2: lely good from the left side of the driver's side 258 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 2: windshield up right in the corner. 259 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: Okay, so there's no there's no sunroof in this car though, right, Frank, No, 260 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: no sun Okay. So they fixed the water leak. And 261 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: the left we call that the A pillar. That's the 262 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 1: forward pillar by the windshield on the left side. So 263 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: that's the that's the A pillar. Was there actually a 264 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: wet spot on the floor, Well, yeah, it. 265 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,199 Speaker 2: Was raining hard that day and I took it right 266 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 2: to the shop that day and they couldn't fix a 267 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 2: side would have back the next day, and you know 268 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 2: you took care of it. Okay, that's the only wet spot. 269 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: That's the only wet spot you've ever had. And you 270 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: haven't had the problem now and how long? 271 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 2: Right? What what you have windows? 272 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, you haven't had the window problem now? And how long? 273 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 2: Well, like, uh, it happened like three weeks ago. Okay 274 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 2: when they I went to side the store came out, 275 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 2: it was raining and they all full winners were down. 276 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: Does your Honda have the function and I believe it 277 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 1: does where if you hold the unlocked button on the 278 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: remote it will power the windows down. 279 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 2: I'm not sure. I'm not commind knowledge anyway. 280 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: Okay, Well, for all four windows to go down, that's 281 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: called express down on a Honda, and for all four 282 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: windows to go down, that vehicle should have it. And 283 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: there may be a way to disable that function. What 284 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: I'm thinking is that either we've got a water connection 285 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: corroded connector issue. We've got a problem possibly with the 286 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: driver's door master power windows switch, okay, or or we've 287 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: got a problem where the unlocked function is being activated somehow, 288 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: possibly a faulty switch also, and it's causing that vehicle 289 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: to go into express down. Take a look through the 290 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: owner's manual, see if it talks anything about doing a 291 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: reset or disabling express down functionality on that car. And 292 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: I'm wondering if that might at least disable the problem 293 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: until we find the cause. If that does disable the problem, 294 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: then I'm going to tell you somebody needs to take 295 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: a careful look at testing the power door unlocked switch. Well, 296 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: unlock and lock is the same thing, but the unlocked 297 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: function on that switch itself, and it may not be 298 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: the driver's door, it could also be the passenger door 299 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: anywhere that it's going to get an unlocked command is 300 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: going to put that vehicle into what we call express down. 301 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: Those those would be my three places I would look. Now, 302 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: the fact that you had a water leak in the 303 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: left front pillar, I'm gonna get nosy and go over there. 304 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: I'd pull that corner of the dash down. It's not 305 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: hard to do. There's a face plate and a facier board, 306 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: and i would just take a look. Does anything still 307 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: does anything? Look Corroda? Does anything? Look wet water plays havoc. 308 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: And if this is only a forty one thousand mile 309 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: vehicle I ventured, I guess you haven't gone very far. 310 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: Moisture sticks around a while. Sometimes you'd be amazed, and 311 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: it's it's difficult to get rid of. There may be 312 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: an issue with that driver's side fuse block area where 313 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: all the wiring harness comes in, and depending on how 314 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: long that water leak was going on unnoticed, it may 315 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: have caused carbon track inside the fuse block junction block connectors, 316 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: and it's got to be dried out and cleaned up 317 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: and a little dielectric grease put in there to prevent 318 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: the problem from a current. So all right, sir, I listen, 319 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: I just went through this. I just went through this 320 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: sort of the same thing on a Toyota. This week, 321 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: we had a Toyota brought in. It was doing an 322 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: issue where it was turning on the body side or 323 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: the I'm sorry, the blind side mirror LEDs on the outside. 324 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: And it turns out that the sunroof drains were clogged. 325 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: And what will happen on the Asian vehicles. The sunroof 326 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: drains get clogged, the water collects, it spills over and 327 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: the water runs down the outside of the sunroof drain, 328 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: and it was dripping right into the right front kickpanel 329 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: where your foot goes in the footwell, right front kick 330 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: panel junction block connector. I had to pull it all apart, 331 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: dry it out, dielectric grease. So there's always a reason, 332 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: and usually it's water or a switch input, as long 333 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: as this wasn't in an accident where somebody tampered or 334 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: wiring or there's an aftermarket something in it. I didn't 335 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: ask that question. And is there an aftermarket alarm in 336 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: this car? Any after market accessories? 337 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 2: No? 338 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, stick with what I told you, Frank, 339 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 1: do all that and if that doesn't work, call me 340 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 1: back we can chat some more. 341 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 6: All right, sir, I appreciate it. 342 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 2: Thank you guys. 343 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 1: You're very welcome.

And you know what, 377 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 1: Thank God for research. Kathy, a valued member of our team. 378 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: Kathy sent me a text. She said, hey, Ron, they 379 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 1: didn't move the button, so the merchandise button is still 380 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: to the right. See that's what Kathy does. She does 381 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: all these things for us. It's like having mom built in. 382 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 1: She doesn't go anywhere. So but we thank you Kathy. 383 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: And just to make everybody aware, the merchandise button is 384 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: still to the right, We're going to move it to 385 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: the center. I promise, just on principle, because I asked 386 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 1: them to do it a week ago. So we'll say, 387 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: let's get back to the phones. Let's go over to 388 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: Christine in Maine twelve Ford Fusion and see what's going 389 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 1: on here. Christine, how can I help Ron and Andie 390 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 1: and the car doctor at your service? 391 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 5: Yeah? Here, Ron, So my fusion. I have the ABS, 392 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 5: the parking break, traction control and an alert service advance 393 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 5: track coming on intermittently, and I had a friend use 394 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 5: a scan tool on the Fusion and he said the 395 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 5: codes showed that one of the four all wheel didn't 396 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 5: catch up with the other three at some point during 397 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 5: a skid, which I don't remember having a skid recently, 398 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 5: and same friends suggest this might be a wheel bearing. 399 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 5: My question to you is do you think that's the problem, 400 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 5: And if it is, is it going to hurt it 401 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 5: for me to drive it around till I get it sick? 402 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: Okay? I have a couple of questions. When you're rolling 403 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: slow approaching a stop sign or a traffic light, as 404 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: you're applying the brake, do the brakes act funny? Do 405 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 1: they vibrate or shake or feel like they're going to 406 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,679 Speaker 1: fall out the pedal itself? Is it just as the 407 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: brake pedal's been normal, like it always has been. 408 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, it does seem like there might be a little 409 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 5: bit of a like a vibration in the front end. 410 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 5: But you know, I have this service regularly and I 411 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 5: don't know, well, my mechanic would have. 412 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: Well, what I'm what I'm kind of looking for is 413 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: do you get a sense like when you're breaking as 414 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: you're slowing down under ten miles an hour. Does it 415 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: feel like you're driving over a rumble strip on the highway. 416 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 2: A little bit? 417 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I mean it may be that you're activating 418 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 1: the ABS. What's happening is one of the ABS signals 419 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: is either missing or inaccurate. The computer will interpret that 420 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 1: as that wheel, whichever wheel it is, is approaching lock up. 421 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: All right, let's talk. Let's talk about ABS for a second. 422 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: Do you do you understand how ABS works? 423 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:23,120 Speaker 5: I do? 424 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: Okay, So you know, the computer's job is to watch 425 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: wheel speed, So it's to make sure that all four 426 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: wheels are rotating and breaking evenly so that the vehicle 427 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: doesn't go into a skid. So if one of those 428 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: four wheels is producing an erroneous signal, we'll we'll make 429 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: it up. All three out of the four tell the 430 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: computer that it's running at thirty miles an hour, and 431 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: the right front, for example, tells it it's running at 432 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: twenty seven miles an hour, maybe twenty five, maybe twenty six, 433 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,239 Speaker 1: maybe twenty seven. It's an erratic signal. It interprets that 434 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 1: as you're sliding on ice. So now it's going to 435 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: change and effect how that vehicle will break. All right, 436 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: So you know, yeah, this could be a wheel bearing, 437 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: this could be a wheel speed sensor. There's some easy 438 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: testing to do. You know what, which do you remember 439 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: what your friend said, which code or which wheel it 440 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: pointed to? A front or a back? 441 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 5: No, he did, he wasn't specific. 442 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: Okay, if it's if it's if it's one of the fronts, 443 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: all right, ask your mechanic to look at a wiring 444 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: diagram leading up to the ABS traction controller. Well, let 445 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 1: me ask you this question. Is the car quiet? Does 446 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,199 Speaker 1: it sound like it's got a noisy wheel bearing in it? 447 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: Does it have any groaning or moaning in it? 448 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 5: No groaning or moaning, but it is a little lumpy sounding. 449 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 5: But I have, you know, snow tires on it that 450 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 5: are a little old, So I figure. 451 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, it could be that. So is this an all 452 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: wheel driver just a front wheel drive fusion? 453 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 5: No, it's all all right. 454 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: So your mechanic could put this up in the air 455 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,199 Speaker 1: and listen to it with a stethoscope and determined does 456 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: he have a noisy wheel bearing? So if he does 457 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: that and we've got a noisy wheel bearing, then the 458 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: rest of our conversation is mute because it's got a 459 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 1: bad wheel bearing at that point. But if all the 460 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: wheel bearings are quiet, all right, then we're going to 461 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: start to talk about do you have a bad wheel 462 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: speed sensor, which would actually be more common. Your friend 463 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: is not wrong about a wheel bearing, all right. It 464 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: depends on the year, make model of the vehicle. A 465 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: twelve fusion should have a separate wheel speed sensor that 466 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: you can purchase separately. Okay, so you know it's a 467 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: matter of which wheel front or back, which wheel or 468 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: which bearing. Now, if it's fronts you can go look 469 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: at a wiring diagram. Your mechanic can go look at 470 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 1: a wiring diagram and he can switch the left front 471 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: feed with the right front feed at the connector of 472 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: the module itself. And if the problem, now, if the 473 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 1: problem now is reported being the opposite wheel, let's say, 474 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 1: for examp ample, it's reporting right front and now it 475 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: reports left front. 476 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 2: Now you know. 477 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: Now you know it's it's it's sensor, okay, and not 478 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: necessarily wheel bearing, all right, Now, it could it could be. 479 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: You also have to look and see how the sensor 480 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: is excited. All right. Uh, this should have a toothed 481 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 1: reluctant ring on the axle itself. But that's visibly naked. 482 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: That's visibly you know, you can see that with the eye. 483 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: So as long as that's not rusted or cracked, broken 484 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: to formed junk in it, et cetera, then you're down 485 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: to it's a wheel speed sensor. If it's one of 486 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: the backs, you know, a labscope would work. Wonders if 487 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: your mechanic possess just such a thing to go in 488 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: and look at the signal. So, but it's it's something 489 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,120 Speaker 1: you should fix at some point because it's a safety issue. 490 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 2: Yeah. 491 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,880 Speaker 5: So, and it's intermittent because I it won't like if 492 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 5: I go out now, it might not come on, but 493 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 5: when I started up again I go to the store, 494 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 5: it comes. 495 00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: On, right, Yeah, And that that get still be anything 496 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: anything that I'm talking about that generally speaks more towards 497 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 1: electrical not a bed tone ring but or a bed 498 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: wheel bearing that speaks more of a bad sensor. But 499 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 1: the steps that you'd have to take would still be 500 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: following along what I said. And again, the procedure for 501 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,199 Speaker 1: the front's a little different than the procedure for the 502 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: back just because of the way they're built. All right, 503 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 1: But you know, it's something I would tell you to 504 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: fix just because it is anti lock breaking. It is 505 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: a safety item. 506 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, what was that two reactor that you could see? 507 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: What ask you, mechanic, because you're in Maine, right, and 508 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 1: I consider me in a high salt area. You know, 509 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: you guys get snow and a lot of a lot 510 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: of calcium, a lot of material goes on the roads 511 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 1: to keep the roads dry and clear. Tell them to 512 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 1: look at the tone ring. We call it the tone ring. 513 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 1: You ever see the top of a castle in the 514 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: old medieval movies, you know how they've got a notch tower. Well, 515 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 1: there's a notched ring that goes around the outside of 516 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: the axle, all right, and yeah, like like right, like 517 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: a castle lated nut and it reads that. Each notch 518 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,360 Speaker 1: is an index, and it reads that and it increases 519 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: in speed and decreases in speed. It changes the size 520 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,880 Speaker 1: of the signal. So if one of those, if one 521 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: of the castle tops, if one of the turrets is missing, 522 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: it freaks it out and it doesn't know what to do. 523 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: So you know, there's some there's some legwork to do 524 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: here before we just start changing parts. All right, Yeah, okay, 525 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,120 Speaker 1: you're very welcome, you're very welcome, you'd be well eight 526 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: five five five six zero nine nine zero zero the 527 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: running any of the car doctors twenty four seven phone number. 528 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: We will be back right after this. Don't go away, hey, 529 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: let's get over and talk to Let's go to Georgia 530 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,360 Speaker 1: and Connecticut. Oh seven BMW George, Welcome to the card doctor, sir. 531 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 1: How can I help? 532 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 6: Thank you so much for. 533 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: George reas George, you're breaking up, georgey yeah, I can 534 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: hear you now, I can hear. Let's try this again, 535 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 1: go ahead. 536 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 6: George, Okay, yeah, I recently purchased two thousand and seven 537 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 6: BMW three twenty eight X sign. 538 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 2: Okay, so the recently, you know. 539 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 6: The radiator fluid was changed, old fluid was changed. And 540 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 6: sorry about the dog and that's okay, that's okay. 541 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 2: Yeah. 542 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 6: And my question for you is I saw on the 543 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 6: car fact that the water pump was not changed in 544 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 6: about eight years. And I not that that's a failure 545 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 6: point on the car. It was water pump, and should 546 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 6: I change it now? 547 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 1: And how many miles were on this car? George? 548 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,719 Speaker 6: It has one hundred and forty one thousand miles. 549 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: So what I would do is i'd definitely change the 550 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: water pump. I'd consider replacing the radiator, Belton hoses, and 551 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 1: as far as the rest of the drive line fluids. 552 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,199 Speaker 1: If it's wet by now, I would consider changing. And 553 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: if it's never been done, I would try to get 554 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 1: some history and I would do some form of a 555 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 1: fuel system cleaning. A lot of the BMW's do really well. 556 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: If you can find the shop that still does walnut 557 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 1: blasting or media blasting, depending upon you know how big 558 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: of the carbon deposits are. Those are great cars. They 559 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 1: are you know, they are what I call the machine. 560 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 1: But you know, it's it's a lot of a lot 561 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: of the maintenance and repair requirements are you know, automated. 562 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,360 Speaker 1: It's just things you have to do based on mileage 563 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 1: before it breaks. You don't want to be on the 564 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 1: side of the road with that vehicle somewhere, you know, 565 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 1: waiting for it to get towed, waiting for it to 566 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,719 Speaker 1: be repaired. It's it's it's not that kind of a vehicle. 567 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,199 Speaker 1: You know, it's not easily fixed. It's something that really 568 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: one cook in the kitchen, one repair shop type of 569 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: a thing. But someone that understands the BMW's is working 570 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: on so very, very important. 571 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 6: And and my last question is do you recommend any 572 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 6: that you could put in this older. 573 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: Engine, any kind of what I didn't hear you there, George. 574 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: I think the dog canceled it out. 575 00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 2: Oil it. 576 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: I don't know that you need one. I would leave 577 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 1: it up to I would. I would leave it up 578 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: to the shop that's going to service and maintain it. 579 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 1: You know, there's there's a lot of oil additives on 580 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: the market, but I don't want to over medicate and 581 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 1: tell you to use something that you may or may 582 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: not need. I think that you know, listen, it's a BMW. 583 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: It's high tech, but it's also still in its heart, 584 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: it's still an internal combustion engine vehicle. And I still 585 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: think that you need you know, you need to look 586 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: at and consider normal maintenance, just like we're talking filters, fluids, 587 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: wet you know, a water pump. I like the ad 588 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 1: doing a radiator because you know, this is an O seven. 589 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: That radiator is almost what seventeen years old? If it's original, 590 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: and you know, when is that going to fail? And 591 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: if we're worried about the water pump, let's through the 592 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: whole cooling system and get it over with. You know, 593 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: just for the heck of it too. You know, I 594 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: know this is cold weather, but you know warm weather 595 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: is going to be here before you know it. Maybe 596 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: service the air conditioning or make it on file that 597 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: in a couple of months you want to service the 598 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: air conditioning. This charge, evacuate, check for leaks, no leaks, good, 599 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: a fresh charge in there after they you know, dry 600 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: it out, do a recovery and so forth. So it's 601 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 1: a great car. It's got miles on it. Now's the 602 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 1: time to do the maintenance and you know, keep it 603 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 1: going another one hundred and forty thousand miles. I think 604 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: by all means that definitely helps. I appreciate the call, George, 605 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: and say hello to the doggie for you. Tom's dog 606 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: is jealous. Tom's dog's sleeping at his feet today doing 607 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: the show at the home studio. So he picked his 608 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: head up. Ted picked his head up and said, oh, 609 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: look company, anyway, you'll be well, George. I appreciate the call, 610 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Hey, a quick tip for all 611 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: my repair shops out there. Just just an observation. And 612 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 1: I got this one from Danny right my tech. You know, 613 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: sometimes out of the mouths of babes, so I've noticed 614 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks in the extreme cold weather. Right, 615 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: we've been gripped by cold weather here in the Northeast 616 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: the past two weeks. You know, I just I don't know. 617 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: I don't know when it changed, but I caught it 618 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 1: where Danny's bringing in cars for oil changes and the 619 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 1: first thing he does is check tire pressure. Now, truthfully, 620 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: Danny does most of the oil changes at the shop 621 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: because I'm usually involved up front or somewhere over in 622 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 1: third bay doing some of the hardcore stuff. And I 623 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: noticed that he's doing tire pressure right away when he 624 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 1: comes in the door. And that's different than what I 625 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: originally taught him fifteen years ago when he first started. 626 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: And I asked him why, and he said, because it's 627 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: eighteen degrees out. Listen to this. This kid's a genius. 628 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: He doesn't even know how smart he is. Right, it's 629 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 1: eighteen degrees out. If I check and set tire pressure 630 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: when it first comes in the door, then it's going 631 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: to be relative to the temperature and the pressure of 632 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: what it will be when it goes out the door, 633 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: rather than do the oil change first. And you see that, right, 634 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: I see a lot of repair shops do the oil 635 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: change first, and then the last thing they do is 636 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: tire pressure. Do the tire pressure first. This way, it's 637 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: cold air in the tires already, the vehicle is still cold. 638 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: Set the pressure, you know, to whatever you want placard 639 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 1: plus or minus, depending upon temperature, and then it's a 640 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: more accurate reading when it goes outside. Tire pressure is 641 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: still a problem in this industry, but I thought that 642 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: was a great idea and I wanted to pass it 643 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 1: along a quick tip for all my shops and for 644 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 1: you if you're doing it at home. Always set tire 645 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: pressure is fast as you can in the environment in 646 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: which the car is operating, is the bottom line, and 647 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: you'll get more accurate readings and less false TPMs lights 648 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 1: eight five five five six zero nine nine zero zero 649 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 1: running any in the car doctor. I'll be back right 650 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 1: after this. Don't away. You know, I started this hour 651 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 1: talking about how you have to be a detective to 652 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: repair cars, and you do. There is that moment and 653 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 1: then sometimes the situation forces you to guess your best. 654 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 1: We had a twenty ten Lincoln MKZ in the shop 655 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 1: this week, and you know, Charlie said, you know, Ron 656 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: every once in a while, I step on the brake 657 00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: and I try to shift into gear and it won't go, 658 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: and I have to I have to, you know, work 659 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 1: hard against the shifter. Well, the first problem we're up 660 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 1: against is what it's a twenty ten. It's fifteen years old, 661 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: so there's not a lot of parts left, which is 662 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 1: the first thing. So you know this isn't you know, 663 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 1: if you're a repair shop that's going to shoot the 664 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: parts canon it's something, then you're not going to have 665 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 1: to be able to do that because there's not a 666 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 1: lot of parts left to shoot. So the second problem 667 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 1: we're up against is I can't duplicate it. I can't 668 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: get the problem to happen, right, I can't repeat the issue, 669 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: which you know number one, Number two, guess your best 670 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: I went through wiring, all right. The brake light switch 671 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 1: has direct input to the body control module, which then 672 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,719 Speaker 1: sends a signal down to the shifter okay, which causes 673 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 1: a release mechanism to work on the inside to allow 674 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: the vehicle to shift out of park to go through 675 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:54,719 Speaker 1: the gears. The problem is the shifter is what was 676 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 1: I should say it like that. The shifter at one 677 00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 1: point was only available as a complete assembly, which it 678 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 1: no longer is. So now you say to yourself, well, 679 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 1: if I can, what can I prove it to be? 680 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,839 Speaker 1: You know, what if? And you start playing the what 681 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: if game? I put a break light switch in it. 682 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,879 Speaker 1: I think I found the last Ford Motorcraft break light 683 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: switch for a twenty ten Lincoln MKZ left in the country. 684 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 1: And you know, I said, look, an original Ford part. 685 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,479 Speaker 1: Let's do that. Put that switch in. Car's been gone. 686 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 1: Let's see what's today Saturday. Car has been gone four days. 687 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 1: It's fixed, as far as I'm concerned. I explained it 688 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 1: to Charlie. Of course, I had to tell Charlie, Charlie, 689 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: you sure this is an old man syndrome. He says, no, no, no, no. 690 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,839 Speaker 1: You know I love Charlie to death. He's a funny guy. 691 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 1: But he said no, no. Ronnie got my feet firmly 692 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,359 Speaker 1: planted on the pedal and I told him what we 693 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 1: were doing. And sometimes, yeah, sometimes you do have to 694 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 1: guess your best. And I'll hope you guess right. I'm 695 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 1: running any in the car. 696 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 2: Doctor. 697 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: It's been an absolute pressure to pleasure to talk to 698 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: each and every one of you again this weekend until 699 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 1: the next time I'm reminding you good mechanics aren't expensive, 700 00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:58,840 Speaker 1: they're priceless. 701 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:14,280 Speaker 2: See y she sh
