1
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 1: Hey, hey, hey, ronin Ainie and the card doctor waving

2
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: the flag here. Let's get over and talk to Bernard

3
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: up there in Amherst, Maine. Welcome Bernard. How can I

4
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: help you? Sir?

5
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: Taking my call? Yeah, we have a little problem with him.

6
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 2: The son got more education than the corson I do.

7
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 2: I went to trade school for auto mechanic and he

8
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 2: went to trade school out to school for auto mechanic.

9
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 2: But he's got more up to injectism and stuff like that.

10
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: We have problems with the gas tank. Leacn. Okay, we

11
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 2: dropped the cow was running fine until they dropped the

12
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 2: gas tank. Now we put the gas tank in. We've

13
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 2: got a quarter.

14
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: Now, remember Bernard, we lowered the gas tank. We never

15
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: dropped the gas tank. We lowered the gas tank.

16
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, we loaded it.

17
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: Drop dropping it gets to be exciting, but go ahead.

18
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: I'm with kaboom.

19
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 2: Could be dangerous to I guess boy. But all right.

20
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 2: We lowered the gas tank. We put a new one up.

21
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: We cracked the lines up. We took off the the

22
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: fittings because it was leaking around the gas lines was

23
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 2: leaking right now, we put gas back in it and

24
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 2: got a quarter. Of a tank of gas. The fuel

25
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 2: pump will work, but it seems to only get the

26
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 2: gas up to where we put high pressure lines in

27
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: where we took off the connections.

28
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: Now you changed witch burner, you changed the tank or

29
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: the fuel pump assembly.

30
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: Well, we had to take the fuel pump assembly out

31
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 2: to put it in the new tank.

32
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: Okay, so you used so you reused the old pump

33
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: right into a new tank because the tank rusted out.

34
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: Well, yes, it did, all right.

35
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: And then when you connected your lines at the top.

36
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: These are the sixteen millimeters hex nuts with the little

37
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: brown O rings on them for the fuel line.

38
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 3: Face.

39
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: We don't we don't have any fittings on the line

40
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 2: now except up to the carburettor the fuel injecting there,

41
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: except where the fuel goes into the carburetor.

42
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: Right, But you connected your lines back at the tank. Yes,

43
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: so your lines are connected at the tank. You've got

44
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: the same fuel pump in there, but you have no

45
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: fuel pressure, right.

46
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: Okay, we're trying to build that up.

47
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: Okay, well, you're trying to build it up. The original

48
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: problem with the vehicle was the tank was rusted out

49
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: and it was leaking. Right, So you did a simple

50
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: swap or not so simple swap. And now you've got

51
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: a vehicle where the fuel pump you hear it buzz

52
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: and turn on. You've got no fuel pressure. You have

53
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: no fuel pressure or.

54
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: Some well, I don't know about fuel pressure. I have

55
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 2: no way to find it out unless I can get

56
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 2: myself a pressure gauge.

57
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: Get a pressure Get a pressure gauge. Let's find out.

58
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: Get a pressure gage.

59
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: All right, the fitting?

60
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 3: Now what is this?

61
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: Is this the four? Is this the four to three

62
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: V six?

63
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: Kylets to know?

64
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: Okay? Is this the Z motor or the W motor?

65
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: Does this have a throttle body or does this have body?

66
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: This has CPI with the This is a Z motor. Okay,

67
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 1: this has a CPI. This is central port injection where

68
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: the injector is located under the intake manifold Planeum, here's

69
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: here's why I want a fuel pressure gauge on the vehicle.

70
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: You know what fuel pressure spec is for that vehicle

71
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: about about well, yet it's somewhere between fifty eight and sixty.

72
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: Anything less than fifty eight, that vehicle won't run at

73
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: fifty seven. So if that fuel pump, if for any

74
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: way shape or form, has a restriction or a problem

75
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: as far as delivery, that carl will never start.

76
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: Does the vehicle run?

77
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: Brought the fuel pump, but it doesn't run? Now, okay,

78
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: so you know, on the chance that's somehow you hurt

79
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: the pump, which I'm not saying you did, we don't

80
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: know until we do a fuel pressure test. If fuel

81
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: pressure shows good and you have good volume, then we'll

82
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: talk about and look elsewhere. But if it doesn't, then

83
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say to you, let's go back and look

84
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: at the pump. Do we have twelve vaults when we

85
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: turn the pump on? Do we have good ground? Do

86
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: a voltage drop across the pump? What changed when you

87
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: guys did what you were gonna do. I don't think

88
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,239
Speaker 1: it's possible to put the lines on backwards at the pump,

89
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: at the tank, No, it's not. I don't think you

90
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: can do it because I think they're physically two different sizes.

91
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 3: That's right.

92
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: So you know, let's take this step by step. Do

93
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: we have power and ground? Do we have pressure and volume?

94
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: And if we don't, let's look at why. If we do,

95
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: then we'll have that conversation next week.

96
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 2: Well, I wondered if we disconnect the fuel line to

97
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 2: the carburettor injectives. If we had the pump going, it

98
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: might possibly put the fuel up there to the engine.

99
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: Shouldn't matter the system's not airbound. If it is, there's

100
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: some thing else going on here. That fuel pump is

101
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: able to overcome air in the line without a problem.

102
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: All right now, if you want it to try, you know,

103
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: if you turn the key to the opposition and you

104
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: hear the pump buzz. The fuel pressure test port is

105
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: located on the driver's side rear corner of the engine,

106
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: just behind the intake manifold. Take a shop rag, wrap

107
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: it around the schrader so that it's covered. Buzz the pump.

108
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 1: You'll hear it. Build pop open the strader with a

109
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: small screwdriver tip like you would a tire pressure stem,

110
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: and just give it a little and you should get

111
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: a spritz of fuel into the rag. You want to

112
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: make sure that you're covering the port so fuel doesn't spray,

113
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: and you want to watch your eyes in your hands.

114
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: But if you want to just test for fuel there, yeah,

115
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: you can do that. It's a little sloppy and it's

116
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: not the safest thing in the world to do. But

117
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: you know, as long as you're doing it, keon, not cranking,

118
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: just buzz the rail just to build pressure in the rail.

119
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: If you don't have fuel there, you got a problem

120
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: back at the time. You gotta start going backwards and

121
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: figure out what you're left off.

122
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: All right, sir.

123
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: You're welcome the carcare Corner's next follow me. How do

124
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: you jump start a car with a dead battery? Good question?

125
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: All batteries. First of all, let's point this out. All

126
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: batteries contain acid and they can cause injuries, so you

127
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: need to regard them with caution and consider them that

128
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: they could be dangerous. You want to consider wearing proper

129
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: eye and skin protection.

130
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 3: That aside.

131
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: If you're going to jump start a battery, you need

132
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: to do it in a series of steps. First of all,

133
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: the positive battery cable for the jumpers, which is gonna

134
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: be coded red. It'll be red in color. You're gonna

135
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: connect that red positive cable to the positive terminal of

136
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: the discharged battery. You're gonna connect the other end of

137
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: that cable, the red cable, to the positive post on

138
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: the vehicle battery that you're gonna boost from. All right,

139
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 1: you got that positive to positive. You're gonna the negative

140
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: cable of the jumper set to the negative post of

141
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,679
Speaker 1: the booster battery, and then you're gonna make the final

142
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: jumper connection to the engine block or a good solid

143
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: ground of the dead vehicle. You don't want to go

144
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: to the discharge battery because of the fact that there

145
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: could be a spark. You're going to start to disabled

146
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: vehicle and disconnect the cables in reverse order. You want

147
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: to be careful. You want to keep all your hands, clothing,

148
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: hair cables, fingers all away from moving parts. Remember, look,

149
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: the bottom line is somewhere along the way you may

150
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: need to jump start a car. Proper precaution is necessary.

151
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: You've got to make sure first of all, and we

152
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: need to be aware of this of wearing skin protection

153
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: and eye protection. But you want to be aware of

154
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: You've got a red jumper cable and a black jumper cable.

155
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: The red jumper cable is positive, the black jumper cable

156
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: is negative. You want to hook them up in that

157
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: specific order. You want to disconnect them in that specific order.

158
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: You do not want to hook the negative cable to

159
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: the discharged vehicle or the discharged battery directly. You want

160
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: to go to the engine block or a good ground

161
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: so that there is no spark, in which case, if

162
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: there was, you do stand the chance of doing damage

163
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: to yourself and or that discharged battery. There's nothing to

164
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: fool around with your vehicle's battery if it's dead. Be

165
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: careful how you jump started, or consider calling the auto club.

166
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: This has been the Carcare Corner with me, Ron and

167
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: Any and the car Doctor. She's hey, welcome back ronnin

168
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: Anie in the car doctor here. So we're talking about

169
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: how the government views, among other things. We're discussing how

170
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: the government views, according to the Department of Labor and Statistics,

171
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: the field of auto mechanics. And you know, we've discussed

172
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: this hour and we've actually heard from one fellow called

173
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: in Bob Donna. Sorry it was a donner, Bob, I

174
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: think it was done. I apologize it was actually able

175
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: to get through the phone calls this morning as they're

176
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: porn in this hour and discuss the fact that, yeah,

177
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: he's having a problem finding mechanics, like a lot of

178
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 1: repair shop owners are. I pointed out how I'm looking

179
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: for another mechanic myself, and it can be a trying

180
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: process to go through because there's a lot to look

181
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: for and what it takes to find somebody. And you know,

182
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: the article concludes, most persons who enter the occupation can

183
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: expect steady work even through downturns in the economy. And

184
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: that's true because of the fact that there really aren't

185
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: enough mechanics to go around at this point, and there

186
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: aren't enough qualified mechanics. And the other problem I think

187
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: is there isn't anybody taking the time to train the mechanics.

188
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: There isn't anybody that's willing to put in the time

189
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: and the dollars and the expense to properly educate the

190
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: mechanics of today. And it's getting more and more costly

191
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 1: to do so, and it becomes more and more of

192
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: a commitment. And the article continues, or the information continues.

193
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: While car owners may postpone maintenance and repair in their

194
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: vehicles when their budgets become strained, and employers of automotive

195
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: technicians may cut back hiring new workers, changes in economic

196
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: conditions generally have minor effects on the automotive service and

197
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: repair business. Employment growth will continue to be concentrated in

198
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: automobile dealerships and independent automotive repair shops. Many new jobs

199
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: will also be created in small retail operations that offer

200
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 1: after warranty repairs such as oil changes, break repair, air

201
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: conditioner service, and other repairs generally taking less than four

202
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: hours to complete. Employment of automotive server technicians and mechanics

203
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: and gasoline service stations will continue to decline as fewer

204
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: gas stations will offer repair services. Interesting trend and if

205
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: you stop and think about it, yeah, more and more

206
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: gas stations are becoming gas only with you know, quickie marks,

207
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: ready marks, you know, pick up the bottle of water

208
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: while you guess up the car kind of a thing.

209
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: So definitely an interesting scenario. The future of auto mechanics

210
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: is going. Let's ourselves get going. Let's go over and

211
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: talk to Bob Lewis and Idaho online too about his

212
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: eighty five GMC pickup. Yeah, Bob, how can I help you? Sir?

213
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm right here, Yes, eighty five GMC pickup. Okay,

214
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 3: just recently got it out of the body shop, had

215
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 3: a new windshield installed. The wipers make oh just one, one,

216
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 3: possibly two sweeps when you turn the ignition.

217
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: Key on every once in a while or every.

218
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 3: Once in a while. Okay, and I don't want to

219
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 3: put the wipers back on with a brand new indshield

220
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 3: and have it scratch up the windshield.

221
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: Right, Well, but I mean you've got you've got the

222
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 1: rubber blades on there, right, Bob.

223
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 3: I've taken the wiper arms off completely. Okay, they were

224
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 3: removed at the body shop. I just haven't put them

225
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 3: back on yet.

226
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: Okay, But but you can put the wiper blades on

227
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: and it wouldn't hurt anything.

228
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 3: Well, we're awful dusty out here.

229
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right. What you want to do is

230
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: look down at the base of the steering column. Do

231
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: you have delay wipers or pulse wipers on this vehicle?

232
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: I have a still Okay, At the base of the

233
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: steering column, you're gonna find a black box or a

234
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: brown box, black brown plastic box. It'll it's the actual

235
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: delay board module, and it'll probably be velcrode to the

236
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 1: steering column or to the left kick panel by the

237
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: driver's side, by the left side of the vehicle where

238
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: your foot would sit, all right, and that is the

239
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: delay module. What you can do is if you look

240
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: at the steering column, you'll see a flat connector with

241
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 1: seven wires, white green, red, blue, and yellow. I believe

242
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: among them coming out of it, those are the wires

243
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: that lead up to the wipers switch. That wiring harness

244
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: will lead down into the delay module. One side will

245
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: go in one side and come out the other. What

246
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: GM used to do back in the eighties and they

247
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: still do it today on some cars to make delay

248
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: modules or make delay wipers, they simply inserted a delay

249
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: module in between the switch and the motor. You could

250
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: actually in a lot of vehicles I believe it's still

251
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: to be true in eighty five. Is unplug that module

252
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: and put the two halves of the harness together and

253
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: do away with delay mod delayed.

254
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 3: Wipers just bypass the module.

255
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: Right, and if bypassing the module fixes the problem, it's

256
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 1: a bad module. Very common, all right. You know a

257
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: lot of guys will go through and do a switch.

258
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: They'll do They'll do a wiper motor. That's not the issue.

259
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it could be your ignition switch. It could be

260
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 3: the wiper motor.

261
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: Now not likely. In all likelihood. I would give you

262
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 1: a seventy to eighty percentile chance that it's the delay board.

263
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: And I mean the simple thing would be, you know,

264
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: if you really wanted to get into this and set

265
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: up a vault meter with input going into the delay

266
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: board and then signal coming out. If you have no

267
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: signal and into the layboard generates its own which is

268
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 1: the problem. It's a bad delay board. But one of

269
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: the simple tests was to unplug it and bypass it,

270
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: and if the problem went away, it was a delay board.

271
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 3: Okay, these plugs are like male and female.

272
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: Yes, they should be male and female, so you can

273
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: just you know, one in, one out and you're done.

274
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 3: Cool, all right, sir, Okay, I think you answered it.

275
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: You're very welcome. Okay, thank you, bye bye bye eight

276
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: five five five six, So ninety nine hundred coming back

277
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: to wrap it up right after this, I'm ronning Anie

278
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 1: in the car doctor.

279
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 3: Seven thinety seven.

280
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: Come ondonder this guy, Hold.

281
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 3: You came, We got am episode on me.

282
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: Well, this hour just kind of flew by. I can't

283
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: understand where the time goes. Some days, I understand we

284
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: got a full rack. Maybe next week, maybe next time,

285
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: next hour. Till that time, I'm ronning Anie in the

286
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: car doctor. The mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. See you
