1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Ron and Any inspected a car this week that had

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 1: three bold tires and a break light. That was yeah,

3
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: the Car Doctor, and the answer I got from the

4
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: customer and the answer was, well, I don't need the

5
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 1: tires right now. I'll wait until the snow comes. And

6
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the calendar, ding it's September. Um. Okay,

7
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: welcome to the radio home of Ron and Anian the

8
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,720

24
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: let's go to one. Let's go to Jerry and New Jersey.

25
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: Oh four jeep Grand Cherokee. And let's get it rolling

26
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: because we've got a busy hour coming up. Jerry. What

27
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: can I do for you? Hey, Ron, thanks for taking

28
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: my call. I have a so I have the driver's

29
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: side Uh it's no floor overland, and the driver's side

30
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: rear view mirror has a heated mirror. And what's happening

31
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: is the mirrors fogging up like it's burning. It actually

32
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: looks like toasty right where where this sign is for,

33
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: like you know, heated mirrors right, And I was wondering

34
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: if there's a short in the system. Sounds like there's

35
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: a short in the mirror. So so I mean, let's

36
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: let's let's do this. Can you you know, I mean

37
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: this is just a but this is current voltage, all right,

38
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: That's that's all it is. It's it sounds to me

39
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: like you're describing like the mirror is actually starting to

40
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: burn through in that spot on the glass, so you know,

41
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: it's it's resistance is changing. And current's got to be

42
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: going up or down. Um, if we wanted to troubleshoot this,

43
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: while the easiest way, I wonder if the connectors are

44
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: the same side to side, if you swap mirrors left

45
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: to right, right to left, and if the problem happened

46
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: over on the right side, then you know it's not

47
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: the controls, the harness, it's in the mirror itself. Put

48
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: a mirror on it. If if the controls, if the

49
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: connectors aren't the same, And I'm sure you can look

50
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: at a wiring diagram and figure it out and put

51
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: put some jumper wires in there and check it. But

52
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: then at the same time, when you did some jumper wires,

53
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: if you had an inductive amprobe, why don't you measure

54
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: current draw on the left side versus the right and

55
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: and and see what you got. But it's sort of

56
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: sounds like you've got a bad mirror assembly from my

57
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: seat here, all right, Because that is a self contained unit.

58
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: There's no I believe there's no reparable parts. I'll put

59
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: it to you this way. It's an O four, so

60
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: it's fourteen going on fifteen years old. By the time

61
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: you got that mirror apart with all little plastic clips.

62
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: You're gonna you're gonna break most of it and have

63
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: to replace the whole thing anyway, right, so all right,

64
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: and check out. I would check out the price of

65
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: a replacement mirror before I did anything, because you may

66
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: find that it's expensive enough that you might just be

67
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: on plugging it and be gratefully you have a mirror

68
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: at this point in the game, because that mirror could

69
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: be four or bucks. Okay, wow, all right, oh boy,

70
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: so all right, thank you very very welcome Walter in Hawaii. Gee,

71
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: it must be four or five weeks. Um, what's going on? Well?

72
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: What can I do for you? Hey? Ron? Helloha? Hello? Um?

73
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: On my corvette Corvette, the pass key system or that

74
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: system I guess GM calls it. I want to bypass it.

75
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: And I know that the key I owned out the

76
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: key at and I'm wondering now. I know on there's

77
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: no more radio shack, but on Amazon I was able

78
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: to get some resistors. Could you tell me exactly where

79
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: I put those? Well? I could, but everybody else has

80
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: to promise me they're going to turn off their radios

81
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: because I'm giving away ahead of time. But I don't

82
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: want you giving out any information that people could steal cars.

83
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: So well, right, you know, let me ask that if

84
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: they stole a car on Maui walt, where would they

85
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: take it. It would have to be like an amphibious

86
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: car or something. I mean, you know exactly. You can't

87
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: you can't get you can't even get them on a

88
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: barge without the full documentation of ownership and everything. I

89
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: had one ship care So it doesn't make don't have

90
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: a very big business here, Yeah, I gotta think. So

91
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: it's why it's a captured market. They call you up

92
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: and ask you for the manual in the radio. So yeah,

93
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: it's it's they're polite about it. Um there, there's there's

94
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: there should be There should be a vat's or a

95
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: pass key to system, I think is what you're describing

96
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: to me. The key has a little black chip in it,

97
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: and you measured resistance on sides of the chip. Again,

98
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: so at the at the base of the steering column

99
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: you'll find the two white wires come out of the

100
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: lock cylinder and they run down the length of the

101
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,799
Speaker 1: column and then they branch and they they jump into

102
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: a connector. It should be at the base of the column,

103
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: and then it'll go to the right and it goes

104
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 1: over to I believe the BCM or the or the

105
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: PATS module. I can't remember what they had in but basically,

106
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: if you can pick up those two white wires that

107
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: and there there. I believe they were color coded white

108
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: and then they turned into two different colors when they

109
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: came out of the base of the steering column. If

110
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: you could pick up those two white wires somewhere in

111
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: the vehicle and just put the resistor across it, that's

112
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: all it is. It's just got to see that resistance

113
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: value and it'll just you know, put you an automatic bypass. Now,

114
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: there are also some kits out online. I have seen this,

115
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: and this is this is my argument against all the computerization. Right,

116
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: here's a vehicle that's twenty three four years old. Um,

117
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I realize it's a VET, but who really

118
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: wants to steal it? You know, it's it's not that

119
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: it's a bad car, but you can't get march for it,

120
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: you know. There, right, there's there's a lot. There's a lot.

121
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: You know. They're all newer, faster, shinier, etcterum. So there

122
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: are if you google searched um bypass GM pass key

123
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: two or GM pass key. There are some companies out there.

124
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: I've seen wiring harness jumper kids and they'll tell your location.

125
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, it's been a it's been a

126
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,119
Speaker 1: long time since I've researched this, but I do recall

127
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: seeing this a good four or five years ago because

128
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: it was a comment. It was a big deal. What

129
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: if it's a bad PATS module, right, the actual anti

130
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: theft module itself, and you can't get one, what are

131
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: supposed to do? Jump the car? I guess, yeah, And

132
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: so that's why is uh really outdated? So I Scratton

133
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: made it as a matter of fact. Well, you know,

134
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: I I think if somebody really wants the car today,

135
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: it's called the back. Think about how many times you

136
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: go out to dinner. How many times you come out

137
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: of the restaurant there's a flat bed picking up a car.

138
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: Do you ever really wonder is that really his car?

139
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: There's somebody just putting the car up on the flat

140
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: bed and saying bye bye. Uh. You know. I picked

141
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: up a new Chevy today at twenty nineteen Silverado, and

142
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: during the pre flight instruction at the dealership, they showed

143
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: me how when I call on Star and say, somebody

144
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: just took my truck. Within three minutes, on Star has

145
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: the vehicle on track and they've put it in reduced

146
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: power mode. They actually slowed the vehicle down ten miles

147
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: at a time per hour or a clip or something,

148
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: so the police chasing that they can actually catch up

149
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: to it and catch the guy. I was like, that's it.

150
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: We put car thieves out of business. I mean, and

151
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: then they've got vehicle locator. You know, I can go

152
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: vehicle locator. I can log into my Chevrolet dot com

153
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: and you know, where's my truck? Boom boom boom. Okay,

154
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: there it is. You know, it's nuts. It's so stuff.

155
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: You buy a new one, didn't you? Are you listening?

156
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: So every ten year you're just gonna get the question

157
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: real quick, okay, real quick. I sent an email on

158
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: this one. You probably didn't get it. Trying to start

159
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: a coming diesel? Uh? Did the electrical work after you've

160
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: done that? You know, the battery, all that sort of stuff.

161
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: Where do you go from there? On a diesel that

162
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: doesn't that it doesn't start? Yeah, no crank, no start,

163
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: no crank, no start, crank no Star. You turned the

164
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: key and the starter on the ridge. Let me rephrase

165
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: that all that works. I replaced the relay, But I'm

166
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: just curious if that hadn't to work, where I would

167
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: have gone from there? Um, if it's a no crank condition, Yeah,

168
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: and I found the problem, But I'm curious that had

169
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: not been the problem. Where I would have gone from there?

170
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: On the diesel. If you had an electric start on

171
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: your motorcycle, and you had an electric start on your car,

172
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: regardless of whether it was diesel or gas, where's the

173
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: first place you'd look fuel? I look at the starter.

174
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 1: If it doesn't crank, you're but I'm probably not being clear.

175
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: I got that fixed, But when my mind, I didn't

176
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: know where I would go if the electrical park didn't

177
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: fix it. Where would I have gone? For? You know,

178
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: fuel and compression, Well, compression, we really don't worry about.

179
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: It's got I would listen to see how it's cranking.

180
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: I would I would you know, does a crank? Even?

181
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: Fuel is always a big problem on diesel, and if

182
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: we're dealing with what is I always take a fuel sample.

183
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: I'll put it to you this way. But a no start,

184
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 1: no crank, you turn the key and you get dashlights

185
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: and nothing happens, no sound from the engine compartment. Walter,

186
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: You're you're chasing the starter circuit. How does that starter engage?

187
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 1: What engages that starter? It's got a crank, whether it's

188
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 1: gas or diesel. After that, I went right to the

189
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: clutch switch and I followed it to the relay, and

190
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: the relay was bad. I mean after that, I you know,

191
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: if it's a crank, no start condition on a diesel,

192
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 1: I always look at fuel quality first. I pull a sample.

193
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: I'll actually check C tane rating and some vehicles like octane.

194
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: You know, does it have enough to kick? And then

195
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: you know we can kind of start talking mechanical stuff

196
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: from there and pumps and you know, things like that.

197
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: All right, Okay, thanks, You're very welcome, Walter. You take

198
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: good care and enjoy Hawaii today. Eight five five zero

199
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: nine zero. The car doctors coming back right after this.

200
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: I number time right it on the wall, so you

201
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: don't forget to call for car advice. Done right? Eight

202
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: five five five zero nine nine zero zero. Now back

203
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: to row. Let's get over to Wayne in Maine. I

204
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: like that we did that. Let's talk about right to repair. Wayne.

205
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: You're out with the car doctor. How can I help. Well, actually,

206
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,599
Speaker 1: it's about the Moss Magnus in act. Okay, you have

207
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: mentioned this is I heard it from last week about

208
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: John Deer. Yeah, John Deer, the tractors and the right

209
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: to repair, the way the the way they're limiting the

210
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: farmers right, Well that too. How can they limit them

211
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: when there's a law that says that they can't. Well, right,

212
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: the issue becomes they're making it so tough to access information.

213
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: So so the way it works in auto repair, I'll

214
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: speak from this, they haven't limited what I have access to.

215
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: It just costs me x amount of dollars. So as

216
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: a business owner, I've made a decision that the five

217
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 1: main car lines that I see on a more frequent

218
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: basis Toyota, Honda, Ford, GM, Chrysler. All right, those are

219
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: the top five. They make approximately of my customer base.

220
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: And you know, subsequently Honda, Accura, Toyota, Alexas, Chrysler, Jeep.

221
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: They're all within that that they that they become, you

222
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: know that they become the vehicles. Um I'm working on.

223
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: If I want to go out and buy information for Nissan,

224
00:11:58,480 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: if I want to go and buy information for some

225
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: of the other vehicles out there, it's it's gonna cost

226
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: me more, and that's what right to repair, right to

227
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: repair ensures. But also because of all this limits in

228
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,599
Speaker 1: a sense, so that's part of the problem. Can the

229
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: John Deer tractor repair guy in the middle of Iowa

230
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: afford to service all year generations of John Deere tractor

231
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: for his farmer that's two acres in the middle of

232
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: a field. It becomes a cost issue. Does that make sense? Oh? Yeah?

233
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: But also to what about the loggers? Right? Well? Yeah,

234
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: and all of this and you know, all this technology,

235
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: it's slowly pointing us to the point that in the

236
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: direction of you know, how can we overcome the cost

237
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: We're we're all we're all of us, were all guilty

238
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: of it. And you've got two restaurants today. Everybody's got

239
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: their head down and their thumb going right. I think

240
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 1: they're gonna start handing up thumb casts sprained thumbs that

241
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: people are gonna be you know, spraining their thumbs, texting

242
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: and everything else. You know, we're all guilty of it.

243
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 1: We're all calling on this technology and demanding more of it,

244
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: and it's just slowly going to a road. Our ability

245
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: to repair and effectively maintain whatever it is, whether we're

246
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: a farmer or a logger, a trucker you know, Harry,

247
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 1: homeowner or a soccer mom, it doesn't matter. It's it's

248
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna become an issue, and it already has. And

249
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 1: that's what we have to be aware of that they're

250
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: they're they're mandating who and what can work on tractors.

251
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: And that's what right to repair for automobiles is preventing. Um.

252
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: I should point that out that right to repair is

253
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: a good thing, but it's not that it's an open market.

254
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: As an independent repair shop, we have to pay for

255
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: everything we get to repair that vehicle. Nothing is given

256
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: to us for free in any large scale or quantity.

257
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: So alright, so I retired from the automotive industry, had

258
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: my own business for thirty seven years, so you know,

259
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: you know from whence I came. It's, um, it's it's

260
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: getting tougher and tougher as time goes by way and

261
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 1: I gotta go. Um, we're up against it, and I

262
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: got one more to sneak in before the bottom. Thank you, SIRR.

263
00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: I appreciate your comments. Mike in Connecticut, Oh one camera overheated, Yes, sir,

264
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: I love your show. That's what I got. Run. I

265
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 1: got a two thousand one Toyota Camray four cylinder. Okay,

266
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: Uh change the thermostat and UH started, Uh started to overheat.

267
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: I had a leading leaking gasket. Put a new gasket

268
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: in from the dealer. Dealer thermostat. Put it in. Still overheating.

269
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: Now the radiators started to leak, but there wasn't leaking

270
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: out of the thermostat. Fixed that problem. Put a new

271
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: radiator and there because the radiator was leaking, no leaks.

272
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: Pressure tested. It gets the operating temperature. After the car

273
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: car warms up, you know, the idiot light goes, I

274
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: mean the idiot gage goes about halfway on the dash

275
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: where it always has been. After a couple after fift

276
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: twenty minutes, it goes past the midway point, heading towards

277
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: the red zone. I stopped it at three quarters, shut

278
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: it off. I got, uh, it's either what do you think?

279
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: I think it's a head gas. Well, are the fans

280
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: coming on, Mike, Yeah, the fans are coming on. Okay,

281
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: if fans are coming on and we're getting excessively hot,

282
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: and we we want to assume, which is a dangerous

283
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: word on family radio or any other place. We want

284
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: to assume that the thermostat is good. We've got one

285
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: of two things. Either the water pump and pellar is

286
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: loosen spinning, which I've seen once in my career on

287
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: a Toyota Fortuna used a hose and it had plenty

288
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: of suction. We had plenty of both, and both hoses

289
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: are equally hot. Um. Yeah, okay. If both hoses are

290
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: equally hot, we got circulation, We've got temperature. We've got

291
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: a thermostat that's open. Yeah, I'm inclined to think we've

292
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: got a head gaske at issue. Even though it's not

293
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: running rough, is it or is it running rough? I

294
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: didn't ask that when you when I first started it,

295
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: but after after it warms up, it gets right to uh,

296
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: you know, six s RPMs. Okay, so do this alright,

297
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: it's about normal. It was rough at the beginning, but

298
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: after it warms up it gets fine. Do you have

299
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: a do you have you don't have a radiator pressure

300
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: test or do you No? I was thinking about pulling

301
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: the plugs out and shift their away. What I was

302
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: gonna say, if you could get a radiator pressure tester,

303
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: pull the four plugs when it's cold, all right, put

304
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: a radiator pressure tester on it, so you build some

305
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: pressure in the system and walk away, you know, Pump

306
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: it up to whatever speck is on the cap, fourteen

307
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: sixteen pounds, whatever the number is, you know, and let

308
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,479
Speaker 1: it sit. Come back the next morning, take a flashlight,

309
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: look in the hall, hand cranked the motor. Look to

310
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: see is there any cool in any of the cylinders.

311
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: If there is, that's a head gasket, brother. And then

312
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: at that point, you know, the conversation has to go

313
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: to is it worthwhile to fix or you know, do

314
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: we want to put a head gasket in it? Or

315
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: here's an opportunity to use k seal. All right? You

316
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: hear me talk about k seal all the time. How

317
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: many miles are on this car? Mike, alright, so you

318
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: gotta figure a head gass. It's gonna be, you know,

319
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: somewhere shy a fifteen hundred to two grand on a

320
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: fifteen year old car with a hundred and seventy something

321
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: thousand miles on it. Go down to your local Oreilly

322
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: to parts, get a bottle of k seal. You can

323
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: go to kseal dot com for more information. I to

324
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: date have used it in better than a half a

325
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 1: dozen vehicles. It's worked in every car. It doesn't create

326
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 1: any heat or core issues. I haven't had any negative effects,

327
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: and we'll typically see those cars they're running down the

328
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: road a year and a half, two years later. I

329
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: can't say it's a permanent forever like a tattoo kind

330
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: of a fix, but it'll get you a couple of

331
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,239
Speaker 1: years out of it. I've seen that as a very

332
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: good result. And usually the reason I don't see it

333
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: any longer is those cars are gone. The customers have

334
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: every place the vehicles because they've gotten their mileage out

335
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: of it. At a hundred and seventy something thousand plus

336
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,719
Speaker 1: more miles. You know how many more miles are you

337
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: looking to get out of it? Under the fifty another hundred,

338
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: another five thousand, But so right. Instructions are on the bottle.

339
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: It's really easy to do cold engine, you know, drain

340
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: some out, k seal in, let it do its magic. Uh.

341
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: This stuff is the latest greatest technology. I put it

342
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: to the equivalent of all the head guests get sealers

343
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: in the market. From my side, from where I'm sitting,

344
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: for what I've seen Prior to this there they've all

345
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: been the right brothers and the biplane. This stuff is

346
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: the space shuttle. Al right, this stuff works really well.

347
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: It's been around a long time. The real mechanics rave

348
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: about it. The guys that are trying to book time, don't.

349
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 1: They don't like this because it it loses the head

350
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: gaskot job, if you know what I'm saying. So for

351
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: that vehicle that's you know, you're hear me talk about

352
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: it like we say, for that vehicle that's looking for

353
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: repair without major money, k seal is the way to go.

354
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 1: K seal dot com. Let me know what happens to Mike.

355
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 1: I'm on anating of the car Doctor. Hey. Coming up next,

356
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: Shannon Spake Child Safety Prevention Week. Stay tuned loing back

357
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: right after this. When the family car needs some fixing,

358
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 1: there's only two things that really matter, getting the right

359
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: part and getting some good advice. It's a pretty safe

360
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: bet that, with over a million parts in stock, pet

361
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: Boys has the right part right now. The pet Boys

362
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: pros are extensively trained to find the right part for

363
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: just about any car truck. Better yet, these crows can

364
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: also handle the entire installation or service needed it's always

365
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: good to have options and no, the Pep Boys pros

366
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 1: have it covered either way. Hey, lot, I eating the

367
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: Car Doctor. We are back. You know. Just this week

368
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: at the shop, I had a customer with a problem

369
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: with a child car seat and it was interesting to

370
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: learn the child car seats today are one time use

371
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 1: and I thought that since we are right around that

372
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 1: time of year child Passenger Safety Week, I reached out

373
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: to our friends at car Star and they hooked me

374
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: up with Shannon Spake. Shannon and obviously a well known

375
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: reporter for Fox Sports covering the NFL as well, but

376
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: more importantly, and probably most importantly, she's a mom and

377
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 1: who better to talk to us about Child Passenger Safety

378
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: Week than Shannon Spake. Shannon, Welcome to the Car Doctor.

379
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Yeah, certainly the resume with the

380
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: mom of twins who are just about to be nine

381
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 1: years old, and I have to admit they're still in

382
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,239
Speaker 1: seats at nine years old. I know each date has

383
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: different different criteria that that you have to meet in

384
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: order to be in a booster seed, whether it be um,

385
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: you know, high weight age, But for me, the biggest

386
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: thing is is when I look back there if I

387
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: see you feel like the car and the seat belt

388
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: is not where it needs to be. I mean, those

389
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: boys are a booster seats because they're They're my most

390
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: precious commodity that I carry around and keeping them safe

391
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 1: is my number one job. You know, it's it's a

392
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: sombering statistic, but car crashes, from what I read, are

393
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 1: the leading cause of of of death for kids between

394
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: the ages of one and thirteen. And is that related

395
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: to how they're in the vehicle? Can you believe that?

396
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: Like to me personally, I couldn't. Even It frightens me

397
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: to think that something that I do inside the car,

398
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: or something that's out of my control outside of the

399
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,719
Speaker 1: car from from someone else, um, could completely change my

400
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: life forever because of my children back there. You know,

401
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: like I said, it's it is my job to keep

402
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: them safe. So whatever I can do to keep them safe,

403
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: whether it be um, you know what, what ever it

404
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,199
Speaker 1: may be, but certainly one thing that I know that

405
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: I can do. And you and I talked about it.

406
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: Whereas like when we were growing up, car seats weren't

407
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: weren't even a thing. But we know that these things

408
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: keep our children safe, and that's something that I'm going

409
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: to do, and I think the biggest thing is that

410
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: people don't realize that if you are in a car crash,

411
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: you know, anything above a minor car crash, your car

412
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: seat could be uh, it could be affected and could

413
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: be compromised, and you can't see it visibly, but it

414
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: could essentially not be working the way that it's supposed

415
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: to be. And so what we're trying to do car Storm,

416
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: even for this Child Passenger Safety Week, is to remind

417
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: people and let them know that sometimes when when you

418
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: bring your car to the auto shop to get it

419
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: fixed after a wreck, think about what's in the backseat

420
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: of your car and what's keeping your kids safe, because

421
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: sometimes those car seats can be compromised as well. Yeah,

422
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 1: you know when when when when I was raising my kids,

423
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,239
Speaker 1: when I was growing up, you know, car seats, if

424
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 1: you had a car seat, it lasted forever, that did

425
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,199
Speaker 1: everything and went from car to car and from kid

426
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: to kid. Uh you know, Now it's it's a one

427
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: time use thing. So if somebody's out there picking up

428
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: and you know, can you comment on this, the concern

429
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: becomes you're picking up a used car seat, there's a

430
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: danger in that isn't there. Well, yeah, they say, don't

431
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: do that. They say that's a big no no, because

432
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: you don't know the history you know of that car seat.

433
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,479
Speaker 1: It's just like your car when you go to buy it,

434
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: you have the car backs that tells you everything that's

435
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: happened to your car. Well, those don't exist for the

436
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 1: car seats. So they say, never buy, Never buy a

437
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: used car seat because you just don't know where it's

438
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: been or what it's been through. And again once again,

439
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: if you are in a car wreck, and the list

440
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: they're minor wrecks. They mentioned there's a list on on

441
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: the website that you can go to the nht s A,

442
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: which is a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Cars aren't

443
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: even flower. Really, they have this message out there this

444
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: week there's there's the list of things that tell you

445
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 1: when and where your car seat might be okay. But

446
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: I'm one of those people that when I look at

447
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: my husband sometimes and I'll go, do you see this

448
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: medicine is expired by a month? Do you think it's

449
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,719
Speaker 1: okay for the boys? And if my husband says I

450
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: think it's okay, I think it is not good enough

451
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 1: for me because these are my children, and so you

452
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 1: think it's okay, these are your kids. It probably be

453
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: best to kind of air on the side of safety, right,

454
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not oatmeal, it's medicine. We want to

455
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: make sure we're safe. Um, you know. And for those

456
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: of you just tuning in, we're talking to Shannon Spake

457
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: from Fox Sports. He's also here on behalf of car

458
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: Star and even Flow talking about Child Passenger Safety Week. Shannon,

459
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: you know, statistics say there's that people are involved in

460
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: a car accident once every seven years. So you think

461
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: about that car seat you find used online or in

462
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: a garage sale. Like you said, you don't know the history,

463
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: so you're really rolling the dice because there could be

464
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: damage to that seat that you just don't see. Yeah,

465
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: and again, what what we're letting people know this week

466
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: is that if you have to go and repair some

467
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: metal or something on your car, or if your air

468
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 1: bags are deployed and they need, you need to bring

469
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: your car into a collision shop or into a car shop,

470
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 1: like that's that's of time to also kind of look

471
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: back there. And I don't think it's something that people

472
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: realize because you can physically look at these car seats

473
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: and you can go, oh, there's nothing wrong with it.

474
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 1: But a lot of times and most of the time,

475
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 1: the damage is not visible to to your eye. And

476
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: so what we're trying to remind people and to let

477
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: people know is something that I wasn't even aware of

478
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 1: before I started working with your Soon even flow on

479
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: this initiative is that like take get a get a

480
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: new car seat, your cars in the wreck, you bring

481
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: it into the shop, you get a new fender, you

482
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: get a new light, or or your air bags need

483
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: to be put back in, Let's think about the things

484
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: that are in the back that are also protecting our children.

485
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: Does just out of curiosity, does insurance cover in the

486
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: event of an accident? Would insurance cover car sheet replacement

487
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: for the kids? Some insurances do, actually, and that's another

488
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: thing I did not know about, but some insurances do.

489
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: So what we are recommending is that when you when

490
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 1: you do bring a child into the world and you

491
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: have a new member of your family, reach out to

492
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 1: your car insurance and and find out if that's something

493
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: that they were play it's because if they do, how

494
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: easy is that you just go to the car insurance

495
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: at the same time as you're getting your car repaired

496
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: and you get a new car seat. Uh, you know,

497
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 1: it's it can be overwhelming. I guess picking car seats today,

498
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: like anything else, technology, just parent everything is overwhelming RecA right, Yeah,

499
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 1: it's it's it's just technology, just you know, levels us.

500
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: If you're if you're a new parent or you're a grandparent,

501
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: you're trying to buy something for the you know, for

502
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: your for your kids, to give them for their kids,

503
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 1: you know, in the way of a car seat for

504
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 1: the holidays coming up and things like that. Where can

505
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: you go get more information? Is there a place? Yeah,

506
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 1: you could go to safe kids dot org. And these

507
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: are also places that will help you install the car seats.

508
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: I know you and I were talking about how complex

509
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: some of these things are. I think I think actually

510
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: as they do like breast seating classes, they do diaper

511
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: changing classes, and they do classes on how to install

512
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: car seats. Nowadays for parents they are Yeah, I mean,

513
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: I've got to tell you, it took me the better

514
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: part of ten minutes to unramp this car seat out

515
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: of the car. I was just I actually took pictures

516
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 1: with my cell phone, like the strap goes here and

517
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: it comes down over the hook and it goes this

518
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: way and then it clicks. Because I knew when the mom,

519
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: you know, the mom had to leave the car. We

520
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: had to work on it a couple of days, and

521
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: she had to put the seat into her into her

522
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 1: mom's car. And I said, you know, let me help

523
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 1: her get the seat out of this and I'll put

524
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: it in the other one. And holy cow, what a procedure.

525
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 1: I probably came in and did it in like two

526
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: seconds and that was that was Yeah, it's and that's

527
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 1: the God's honest truth. She really do Oh, you just

528
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: do it, and you know it's it's it's like, you know,

529
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 1: if you want to understand how to use your droid phone,

530
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: you just get your kids to do it. It's it's

531
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: the same thing. Get the mom to fix the car overwhelming,

532
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 1: especially for new parents to figure out how to put

533
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: car seats in. It's just one more thing. You're leaving

534
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: the hospital. I remember leaving the hospital with the boys

535
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 1: when they were first born, and literally the stories, you know,

536
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 1: you hear it. You're going ten miles and holes down

537
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: the highway because your most precious commodity is back there.

538
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: And as they get older, we get more comfortable with

539
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: them inside the cars, and so we have to be

540
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 1: aware when something they're sitting in has been compromised and

541
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: there could be an issue with that. And I think

542
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: this is I mean, I just think that for any parents,

543
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 1: this is such a great wake up call to go, Wow,

544
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: I didn't even know that that's something I had to do,

545
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: because it certainly has been for me. And at the

546
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: very least, you know, when we think of car seat,

547
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: it's not just you know, do I replace it after

548
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: the accident? How about this week we all go back

549
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: there and tug on the straps. Is everything routed correctly?

550
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: Are we connected as it tight? You know, if you

551
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: find that you're putting the child in the seat and

552
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: it kind of whipples around a little bit, something's loosening up,

553
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: and yeah, not good. It's kid's got to be ready. Um,

554
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: So listen, Shannon, I appreciate you taking the time with

555
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: us today. Where can the listeners go for more information? Again?

556
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 1: So car Star and even Flow have teamed up to

557
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: push this, to push this message and to let people

558
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: know about this awareness. So you can check out their

559
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: websites because they certainly have links to all of the

560
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: places that you need to go with Safe Kid Kids

561
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: dot Org is one place, and then the National Highway

562
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 1: Traffic Safety Administration which is n h t s A.

563
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: The They have all of the god learnings and all

564
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: of the criteria. Again, they will also help you for

565
00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 1: new parents or older parents who or grandparents who need

566
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 1: to know how to put in the car seats properly.

567
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,719
Speaker 1: But I think the most important thing is be aware

568
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: when these things may need to be changed and in

569
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,439
Speaker 1: the event of an accident, they do. Okay, listen, Shannon,

570

580
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: to Shannon Spake for taking the time to talk to

581
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: us about Childcare Safety Week and um, you know what,

582
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: the car seat thing is big and we've got to

583
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: be aware of it. I I did not realize that

584
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: car seats are at one time use only options. So

585
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: you know, I learned something every week. It's not necessarily

586
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 1: just about the mechanical side of cars. Let's go to

587
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: talk to Al, Al, welcome back. Where do we stand

588
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: with this car, this Malibu of yours that hasn't started.

589
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: I had a bad connection. I didn't hear all of

590
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: what you said. I just you know, this is this

591
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: is Al from Maine with the Malibu that doesn't start.

592
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: I did see. I did see your scope pictures now, um,

593
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: and they look like it looks like the crank sensors working. Uh,

594
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: it's it's it's hard for me to see. It was

595
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: hard for me to see in the pictures exact scope settings.

596
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: And that's you know, that's that's a true lab scope

597
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: that you're using, not necessarily automotive scope. So it wasn't

598
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: it wasn't exactly what I was expecting. I was expecting

599
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: cam and crank laying over the top of each other

600
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: and to show the index marks of of where the

601
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: timing cyclists to make sure that everything is lined up

602
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: in times correctly. Um. You know the other thing I

603
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: wanted to mention was I've been thinking about this car.

604
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: This car has cranking rpm on a scan tool, correct,

605
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: and the injectors. Did you ever listen to the injectors

606
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: to see if they're clicking right? So you know, to me,

607
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: this car has got this car has got a good

608
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: crank signal. It's it's you know, whether or not camp

609
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: signals working. Yeah, it is. We we did a scope

610
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: test on that as well. So we've got patter and

611
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: out of it, and we've got injector pulse. Do we

612
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: have spark yep? And now that's a little bit bewildering. Um,

613
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: I got the bright idea to put a timing light

614
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: on it. I made the mark on the crank just

615
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: to see if it was with light in the correct place.

616
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: It won't light a timing light. However, when you pull

617
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: the the wire off the plug, you can put a

618
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: screwdriver and then you can make a blue spark jump

619
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,479
Speaker 1: half an inch. It seems to have a good strong spark.

620
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: To have another customer with identical engine and put time

621
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: and light on it flashlight crazy, But for some reason

622
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: this one won't flash a diamond light. Well, you know,

623
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: I just I'm trying to be accurate in the test.

624
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: Can we can we spend twenty bucks and get a

625
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: spark plug test or with a little alligator clip bonnet

626
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: rated for the sist them. Yeah, you know, and just

627
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: or or or at the very least, can we you know,

628
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: they'll you know, the local Loto parts store will have it.

629
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: One of those black plastic with the graduating I've got

630
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: one of those. But I say you put a screwdriver

631
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: in and hold the ground, it'll jump. A blue spark

632
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: happen in Got plenty of sparks, got plenty of sparks.

633
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: So if it's got fuel, it's got spark. Either we've

634
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: got either we've got restricted exhaust or we've got we've

635
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: got a compression issue or something mechanical in the way

636
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: the engine is time compression each cylinder. Then we've got

637
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: time and it's perfect. I've had the cover off. Then

638
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: you're missing something now, because in my mind, if you've

639
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: got spark, you've got fuel, you've got the engine mechanically timed.

640
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: Have you tried have you tried lowering the exhaust to

641
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: see if it starts? That's what I'm gonna try and act.

642
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: After you mentioned that and and I'm gonna try that.

643
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: And then this ran right, this ran up until you

644
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: did what you did something with this until I put

645
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: in the camps So I backed it out in the

646
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: yard and it hasn't started sends. And you've swapped that

647
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: camp center back out right, you put the other one

648
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: back in. I'm sure no, I haven't, because it ran

649
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: when I put it in, the same thing it has

650
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: all along. Well, just for giggles, you've come this far,

651
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: why don't we retrace Why don't we retrace our steps

652
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: and put a camp site, put the camp center back

653
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: in it that it ran with. While it's there, the

654
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: camp censor pick up. I know, I know you said

655
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: you scoped it and you had a signal, but the

656
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: camp censor pick up. Uh, that's a I believe on

657
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: the on the camp sprocket there should be a magnet.

658
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: How does that work? I'm trying to think. I I

659
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: think on the on the camp it had like a

660
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: notch taken out of it. Okay, that's what the sensor

661
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: picks up on. Okay, so let's let's look at that.

662
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: Is that is that? But you're saying the cover you've

663
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: had the cover off and the engines in time, yes,

664
00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: but it's still backfiring out the intake camp well, back

665
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: firing out the intake. It sounds just like the time,

666
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: and it sounds like a time and chain has jumped. Uh,

667
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: just what it sounds like. But when you disconnect the

668
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: injectors and the spark and turn it over, it sounds normal. Right,

669
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: you know what the engine sounds like. You know when

670
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: the time and it's off, you'll turn easy and then

671
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: it fetches up and you know that's just what it

672
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: acts like before you drop the exhaust. Go over that

673
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: camp censor again. There's something there, something, something's throwing this

674
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: thing out of time. Um, it's it's how the computer

675
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: is interpreting it. Put the other camp censor and see

676
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: what happens. We'll try it, all right, call me next week.

677
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: Thank you, you're welcome out. Good luck to you. Zero.

678
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: We're back right after this. Welcome back, running the car doctor,

679
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: winding it down. This hour just another quick hour flew

680
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: by a car doctor, and I loved it, had a

681
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: great time. I hope you did too. UM. I was

682
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: gonna do a Mitchell Real Fix, Sure Track Fix of

683
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: the weekend, Actually I could, but I have a real

684
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: life story to tell you myself. So Mitchell's Real Fix

685
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: Sure Track Fixing the Week talks about a Mercedes Bens

686
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 1: a C three hundred that wouldn't start because the battery

687
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: kept falling below required voltage and it had a drain

688
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: on it. It It was a two thousand and eight. The

689
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: engine didn't start, and the problem with the vehicle turned

690
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: out to be the seat of Juster switch, the seate

691
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: of Justter switch, and the customers complaint was, hey, once

692
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 1: in a while the engine won't start and no start

693
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: became a no crank. Remember Walt from Why This Hour.

694
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: We were talking to him and I kept saying, is

695
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: it a no crank? Is it a no crank, no start,

696
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: or just a no start. It's always important to explain

697
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,919
Speaker 1: that to your mechanic. Do you turn the key, doesn't click?

698
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: Do you hear it make any sound? No sound? Do

699
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: you have dashlights? If you have dashlights, you've got a

700
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: classic no crank, no start, but dash lights work scenario,

701
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: and that will tell the mechanics something is up with

702
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: the vehicle, or what's up with the vehicle at least

703
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 1: give them a starting point. In the case of this Mercedes,

704
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: it turns out that the battery was falling just below

705
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: minimum voltage, not by much, by two tents of a vault.

706
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: The onboard computers wouldn't fire up, the car wouldn't start.

707
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: I had something similar in the shop this week, Lincoln

708
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 1: mk X. That's getting me well, giving me a hard

709
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 1: time because it's going through this intermittent crank or I'm sorry,

710
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,240
Speaker 1: no crank, dead battery and it won't shift that apart

711
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,720
Speaker 1: when I finally get it to start because the charging

712
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 1: system can't keep up with the faulty battery and it's

713
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: pulling minimum voltage down below speck, throwing the car into fits.

714
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 1: Put a battery in it. We'll see what's gonna happen Monday,

715
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: and that we'll diagnose that and talk about that more

716
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: next week and until that time. This time, like every

717
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: time I'm run on any in the car, doctor reminding you,

718
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. See you,
