1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Captain the Columbus has returned from searching quadrants seven to

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: seventy nine x y five three four m results negative.

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 2: Of them proceed the next block anywhere from engineering on

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 2: our sensors.

5
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 3: They're working on them, sir, still an awkwarder. What about

6
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 3: the transporters?

7
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: We're still reported on safe.

8
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 2: Ron Anian Final Frontier. These are the voyages the Car Doctor.

9
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 2: It's five year mission to explore strange new worlds, to seek.

10
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 3: Out new life and new civilizations.

11
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: To boldly go when no one has gotten before.

12
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 2: Roan Anian, Are you afraid to talk to your mechanic?

13
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 2: Are you afraid to tell them him or her everything

14
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 2: that could possibly be wrong with the car? Or you

15
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 2: know your concerns? The Car Doctor Chevy Cruisers were a

16
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 2: great example, you know were They were great if you're

17
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: you know, a fledgling auto technician because there was an

18
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 2: awful lot to replace on a continuous basis.

19
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 4: Welcome to the radio home of Ronananian, the Car Doctor

20
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 4: since nineteen ninety one. This is where car owners the

21
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 4: world to overturn to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair.

22
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 4: If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up

23
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 4: the phone and call in the garage.

24
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: Doors are open, but I am here to take your

25
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: calls at eight five five five six ninety nine hundred

26
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: and now pee.

27
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: Running.

28
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: How appropriate that Tom used a little bit of star

29
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: Trek and are open today. And we didn't collude on this.

30
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 2: It just kind of worked out like that because I

31
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: told him just minutes before the show, I said, he

32
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 2: asked me about a vehicle I was talking to him

33
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: about in the middle of the week, and he said,

34
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 2: how'd you make out? And I said, you know, it's

35
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 2: kind of like when Scotty would have to give Kirk

36
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 2: warp drive but he couldn't give him impulse. And Kirk

37
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 2: was happy with that because I got him home. Because

38
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 2: that's sort of the story of this Jeep twenty sixteen

39
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 2: Jeep Grand Cherokee came into the shop at our Automotive

40
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: this week, new customer, and man, I feel old because

41
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: the owner is the niece of a woman I went

42
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: to high school with. How do you like them? Apples?

43
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 3: Right?

44
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: Small world. I looked at the last name and I said, jeez,

45
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: I know this name. I said, you're not really Oh yeah,

46
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 2: that's my aunt. Oh good good. Now I really feel old.

47
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 2: So kid's probably twenty two years old, and I'm thinking, Wow.

48
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 2: So anyway, jeep's a jeep. Vehicle's a vehicle, jobs a job.

49
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: The problem was Meredith's jeep in the front of a

50
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 2: jeep radio right below it in the little cubby, they

51
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: have what they call a media center. It's got a USBC,

52
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: a USBA, and a different type of port, just the

53
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: data transfer a port if you want to put a

54
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 2: memory card in. I think it was for and then

55
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 2: it's got a cigarette lighter next to it, and that

56
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: all interconnects and interfaces up to the radio. Well, about

57
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: eight months ago, Meredith had the radio taken out and

58
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: had an aftermarket radio put in, an Apple iPlayer car

59
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 2: Play radio, whatever the heck it is, you know, And

60
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 2: this is my argument against I really worry about after

61
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 2: market radio installs. I'm not condemning the entire industry, but

62
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: I think it has to be done right, and it

63
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 2: has to be done so that it interfaces and work

64
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 2: with the rest of the systems on the vehicle, because

65
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 2: the radio, as Meredith found out, is an essential part

66
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: of the system. It interconnects everything. When I did an

67
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 2: initial scan because I was trying to get the problem. Okay, wait,

68
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: back up. The problem with this was the cigarette lighter

69
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 2: power port stopped working, the US beat ports stopped working,

70
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 2: and the power supply power ports in the console, underneath

71
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 2: the console and in the very back that would face

72
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 2: the passengers in the second seat stopped working. Boy, there's

73
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 2: an awful lot to talk about here. I scanned it

74
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: for codes. Why why would I hook a scan tool

75
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: up to a car that had no check engine light on?

76
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: Because there's still other computers and modules on this vehicle.

77
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 2: There's still systems that need to be checked. And sure

78
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 2: enough it came up with lack of communication to the radio,

79
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: which I expected the radio was gone, but it also

80
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: told me that the install was done badly because there's

81
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: no communication interface as prescribed and that could affect future

82
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: your functionality of the system, future software updates of the system.

83
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: You know, you can't just take a radio out like that.

84
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a safe and smart move. It's

85
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 2: creating issues, as you're going to hear about in a minute.

86
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: I went and I looked at this, and I said,

87
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 2: what's working? What's not?

88
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: So?

89
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 2: I have a data port connector, it's a it's a

90
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 2: known good cigarette lighter plug that I use it. It's

91
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 2: a female and a male side. I also have some

92
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 2: USB c and A cables that I can plug in

93
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 2: known good, known good quality, known good stuff. You know,

94
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 2: we use it around the shop for testing purposes and

95
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 2: it works. So the first thing I did was just

96
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 2: plug into every port. And as it turns out, I

97
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 2: could get the rear data ports facing the passenger seat

98
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,679
Speaker 2: to the rear of the vehicle. They were working, and

99
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: the cigarette lighter did not, but the power port inside

100
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: the console did, so I'm sorry, Yeah, the serare lighter

101
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: did not. So, you know, I'm kind of backtracking and

102
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 2: I'm saying, why does Marath say this doesn't None of

103
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 2: this works? And then I looked at the little She

104
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 2: had a plugin adapter all right, you know, like a

105
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 2: cigarette lighter adapter where one side plugs into the cigarette lighter.

106
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 2: It's that it's that mail side, and then the other

107
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: side was just a USBA, that traditional rectangular USB port

108
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 2: that we're so used to seeing that the cable would

109
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 2: plug into. Problem number one solved the marror. This adapter

110
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 2: was no good. It didn't work anymore. I would plug

111
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: that into the other two data ports or other two

112
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 2: power ports, couldn't get any voltage out of it. It

113
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 2: didn't work, but yet my stuff did so right off

114
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 2: the bat, I solved half the problem in about three

115
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: minutes because known good right. Sometimes you need known good

116
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 2: and sometimes it's easier. You can't always do it in

117
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 2: the case of if it's a computer, but if it's

118
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 2: a USB cable, always go for the obvious. That took

119
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 2: out half the equation. In looking at the wiring diagrams,

120
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: they all came down to either ground nine twelve or

121
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 2: nine eleven. Nine to twelve I've proved good because I

122
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 2: knew the data port at the rear of the vehicle

123
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: was working once I used my own plug in cables,

124
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 2: so that took that out of the equation. And then

125
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 2: nine to eleven. I knew the ground was good because

126
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 2: nine to eleven was the ground for the console power

127
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 2: port under the cover that was working, and I had

128
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 2: power there. I tested it. I had power and ground,

129
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 2: so I knew nine to eleven was good. It went

130
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: back to a common point. I went through fuses and

131
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 2: it was interesting typical jeep set up for fuses in

132
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 2: the PDC the power distribution center, there was close to

133
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 2: one hundred fuse choices of varying sizes and shapes, which

134
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: sort of blew my customer's mind. She was really shocked

135
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 2: and surprised to see that. And I said, oh, this

136
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 2: is only one fuse box. The vehicle should have two.

137
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 2: And I've seen vehicles with three and four fuse boxes.

138
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 2: You know, there was nothing simple about fuses anymore. It's

139
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 2: not oh, just plug a fuse in. Good. You tell

140
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 2: me which one out of the four hundred possible, and

141
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: I'll plug it in. All right, So I went through fuses,

142
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 2: fuses were all good. I got down to g do

143
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: I have power coming down to the cigarette lighter? Because

144
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: I wanted to fix that first. Do I have power

145
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 2: coming down to the cigarette lighter? In the back at

146
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 2: the base of the console, so, you know, before I

147
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: went further, I looked at wiring and I traced it

148
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 2: and it came down. There's what they call an IP

149
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 2: two connector in the right side kick panel. It sits

150
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 2: in the right real well kind of in the area

151
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: where your foot lay, and that is the power distribution

152
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: point where it comes in from the front. Off the

153
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 2: power distribution center comes down the A pillar sneaks under

154
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 2: the carpet and gets over to the cigarette lighter over

155
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 2: in the center console. Gee, you know, should I go

156
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 2: over here? You know there's there's been documented cases where

157
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: if the sun roof leaks water, if the carpet is wet,

158
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 2: that connector gets wet and it creates allse sort of

159
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 2: electrical issues. But the carpet was dry, so I went

160
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 2: the other way. I pulled the side strip off the

161
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 2: console and shoved my hand up behind the console, felt

162
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 2: the connector at the cigarette lighter while watching my plugin

163
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 2: tool to see if I would have power. And as

164
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 2: soon as I wiggled the connector at the cigarette lighter, boom,

165
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: power came up. I now had power and ground at

166
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 2: that and the cigarette lighter worked. I was able to

167
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 2: get that to charge. The USB cables were a little

168
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 2: bit more involved. The USB connectors CNA were my focus

169
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 2: because she didn't use the large data transfer like a

170
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 2: memory card slot. She didn't use that, and she wasn't

171
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 2: too worried about it. And what I discovered was in

172
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 2: looking at wiring, those two USB ports go directly through

173
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 2: in two the radio, so they have to be connected

174
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 2: that way. They didn't. They don't work. So now you know,

175
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 2: I talked to Meredith and she said, you know, she said,

176
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 2: you've got me three quarters of the way there. I said, well,

177
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 2: the next step is I'd have to take the radio

178
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 2: out and see how it's wired. And I pulled the

179
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 2: face plate off. You know, I it's it's really amazing.

180
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 2: You know, you've got to work on these cars as

181
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: if somebody is going to see it, because somebody did

182
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 2: see it. And I saw the wiring mess how things

183
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 2: were just sort of shoved in there, very unneatly, very unprofessionally,

184
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 2: without any care or concern. And I explained that to her,

185
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 2: and I said, you know, it's working. Do you want

186
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 2: me to go further. I'll have to unwire the radio

187
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 2: and wire it back and make it neat and no,

188
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 2: so we kind of stopped. It's you know, she had

189
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 2: she had warp drive. She wasn't interested in impulse power.

190
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 2: She had a charge port, she had the data ports

191
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 2: to the rear. She emailed the guy that did the radio.

192
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 2: This is the best story. This is the best part

193
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 2: of the story. She emailed the guy that did the

194
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 2: radio when he said, well that USB and USC port

195
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 2: shouldn't work anyway, because I disconnected and when I did

196
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 2: the radio, and the one that should work is the

197
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 2: black cable coming off the side that's hanging down to

198
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: the right, which there was a USB a receptacal cable

199
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 2: just dangling off the right side, which I took and

200
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 2: put up under the console and I actually put it

201
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 2: into a way that she could use it through the

202
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 2: center console now not have to reach around. And she

203
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: said why, she asked me. Mareth said to me, she said,

204
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 2: why is you know, why is this like this? She

205
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 2: said why? What happened? And to what? And I said,

206
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 2: you know, the problem is it was done badly. It

207
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 2: was done badly, and it's done wrong. I can't communicate

208
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 2: with the radio. The radio is now eliminated from the

209
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 2: diagnostic and I have to work around that. And the

210
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 2: only way I can do this is by pintesting individual wires,

211
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 2: power and grounds and signal at the base or at

212
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 2: the back of the radio. And I come back to

213
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 2: my original opening comment with you that radios are just

214
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 2: an integral part of the vehicle today. And I'm not

215
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 2: saying you can never get an aftermarket radio ever. Again,

216
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that. I'm just saying it has to

217
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 2: be installed correctly and when you go to purchase it.

218
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 2: You've got to ask how would this affect the functionality

219
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 2: of the rest of the vehicle, and is it going

220
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 2: to affect the functionality this vehicle? Is pretty simple. This

221
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 2: is twenty sixteen. I think about two or three model

222
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 2: years later when aidos, when automated automatic driver assist systems

223
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 2: are involved, and the radio is an essential part of

224
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: that network as well. You know what's going to happen

225
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 2: to the aftermarket radio industry. Are they going to be

226
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 2: limited in the vehicles they can go in? Is it

227
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 2: going to be after market radios for older cars but

228
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 2: not newer cars. It's an interesting conversation to have in

229
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 2: your head and to think about and to talk about.

230
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 2: In the end, Meredith got her radio, she got her

231
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 2: charging port, she got her USB cables in the back,

232
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 2: she got everything but her USBA up front under the

233
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 2: radio working, and that's where it's going to stay for now.

234
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 2: She's got enough to make her happy. And she was

235
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 2: very thrilled for that. And she was kind of surprised

236
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 2: to hear that the ports weren't supposed to be working,

237
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 2: and the radio guy was kind of surprised to hear

238
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 2: that they were. And I said, you know sometimes when

239
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: you get involved in order repair, it's it's what you

240
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,599
Speaker 2: don't know that's going to hurt you. It's and you

241
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 2: don't know what you know until you get there. I

242
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 2: always think of what Stevie Etherton from Opus always says,

243
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 2: you don't know what you don't know, and it's the

244
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: absolute truth. Be careful what you do with your radios,

245
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 2: and if you do have them changed, ask ahead, hey,

246
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 2: is this going to affect anything else? See what kind

247
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 2: of answer you get and it may make you double

248
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 2: think the question. I'm running any in the car doctor,

249
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 2: I'll be back right after this. Don't go away.

250
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 3: When you get keep Ron's number handy eight five five

251
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 3: five six zero nine nine zero zero for when you

252
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 3: really need advice on your car.

253
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: Here's Rob.

254
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 2: Hey, let's get over to Pennsylvania and welcome Brian Beck

255
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: and see what's going on with this on nine ref

256
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 2: for Brian, where do we stand this week? Welcome back.

257
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: You asked me to make sure then blow them out

258
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: or work and it works. The center console where he

259
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: where you do all your it's not manual. It's all

260
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: digital controls there, okay, and there's no power to that

261
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 1: and the blower motor works.

262
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 2: Works when you mon Law.

263
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: Seems to think it's going to be this five by

264
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: five inch square box. It's down by the gas pedal

265
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: and ac amplifier moledule. But okay, don't I don't know

266
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: how to check that. Well, very specific. It has to

267
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: be color coded orange and it has to have specific

268
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: numbers on it. Forward to work and tried to find one,

269
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: but couldn't find one.

270
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 2: Right before we go that route. So when you're saying

271
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 2: the blower motor works, you applied power and ground to

272
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 2: the blower motor and it turns on.

273
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 3: Me.

274
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: I know he checked it with the meter.

275
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 2: Okay, did he actually hear the blower motor run?

276
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't ask him that.

277
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 2: Okay, I want to hear the blower motor run. I

278
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 2: listen I'm doing I'm doing a third party diagnosis on

279
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 2: a radio show from three states away. I want specific things.

280
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 2: I don't want to make I listen. I just don't

281
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 2: want to make the smoke come out. You know they're

282
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 2: smoking every electronic component, and I want to be the

283
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 2: guy that gets you to bring it out. Okay, And

284
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 2: this is this This was a fourth cylinder or six

285
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 2: cylinder and this is an automatic AC system, not a

286
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 2: manual AC system.

287
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: Correct.

288
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 2: Okay? Does he own a does he own a scan tool?

289
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: I think so?

290
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 2: Okay, So if he can do in by year making modul,

291
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 2: it's a halfway decent tool. He should be able to

292
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 2: look at and see inputs. You know what is there?

293
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 2: A request for a blower is a request for AC.

294
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 2: He should be able to see command AC Amplifiers are

295
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 2: not an uncommon failure. They're not the most common failure

296
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 2: in the world. Resistors generally go bad before that. So

297
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 2: i'd want to go through the resistor block. And hopefully

298
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 2: he's doing this with a wiring diagram. He's got a

299
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 2: wiring diagram in front of him, Brian when he's doing this,

300
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 2: or we're just poking and hoping.

301
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: I'll be with them the next time here, so I'll check.

302
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 2: All right, If you guys need a wiring diagram, If

303
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 2: you need a wiring diagram, shogram a right, shoot me

304
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 2: an email, send me the seventeen digit VIN of the

305
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 2: vehicle ron at cardoctorshow dot com and I'll be glad

306
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 2: to send you a wiring diagram. So we're all on

307
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 2: the same page. Okay, all right, I'm not trying to

308
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 2: be a jerk. I'm just very fussy when it comes

309
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 2: to diagnosed and electrical I want to know exact things.

310
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 2: All right, there's there's one little thing and that's what

311
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 2: it was, right, Yeah, it's you know, so just because listen,

312
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 2: I can put a meter right.

313
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: Limited edition all will drive.

314
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's probably automatic. It's probably an automatic AC

315
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 2: and it's probably a V six. I can't tell you

316
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 2: how many times in my career, in the early stages,

317
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 2: until I learned the lesson, I'd hook a meter up

318
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 2: to something and the meter would power up. All right,

319
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 2: But yet it was a bad signal because I don't

320
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 2: you know, I can have the conversation with you. If

321
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 2: it's a sixteen strand wire and fifteen strands of copper

322
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 2: are broken, Am I going to see voltage on the meter? Sure,

323
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 2: am right, but I'm not gonna I'm not gonna flow

324
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 2: any I'm not going to flow any current. So you know,

325
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 2: I want to test that blower motor a couple of

326
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 2: different ways, you know. I want to know did we

327
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 2: just turn it on, and did we apply power to

328
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 2: the blower motor? Power and ground? Did we apply power?

329
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 2: Did we verify ground. You know, did we put a

330
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 2: meter across the point of contact where the blower motor

331
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 2: connects and he saw power on the meter, but you

332
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 2: know nothing else. I got a bunch of questions. So

333
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 2: but like I said, you send me. You send me

334
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 2: the vin on at cardoctorshow dot com. Just remind me

335
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 2: who you are and I'll be glad to find your

336
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 2: wiring diagram and email it to you to give you

337
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 2: guys something to look at. All.

338
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: Right, okay, you were talking about like a couple of

339
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: different boxes. Would that shows how many fuseboxes there are

340
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: on there? Oh yeah, he said, he checked all the

341
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 1: modules and right.

342
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 2: Well, and I'm not knocked. I'm not knocking him. If

343
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 2: he's doing this without a wiring diagram, he's a braver

344
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 2: man than me. I you know, I believe me. You know,

345
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 2: it's it's it's I'm down to the point now. When

346
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 2: I was working on that Jeep and they told me

347
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 2: that I think it was fuse one oh three powered

348
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 2: the USB powered the cigarette lighter, the one that I

349
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 2: was able to get to work. I wasn't happy until

350
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 2: I pulled that fuse out and checked for power. So

351
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 2: it was gone. Put the fuse back in, so the

352
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 2: power was there, proving my wiring diagram was right for

353
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 2: the vehicle, because just because they say, hey, here's the

354
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 2: one for this vehicle, it's not right until you prove it.

355
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 2: And I've run across that a half a dozen times

356
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 2: in my lifetime. So Brian, call me, let me know

357
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 2: when you need more. We'll kind of take it from there.

358
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 2: Eight five to five five six zero nine nine zero

359
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 2: zero running any of the car doctor. We are back

360
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 2: right after this.

361
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 5: Don't go away look back.

362
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 2: I'm running in the car docker A five five five

364
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 2: Brian Ohio, not Brian Pennsylvania. Brian Ohio. How are you, Brian,

365
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 2: Welcome to the car dockor what's going on?

366
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 3: Well? Day, how you're going?

367
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 2: Good sir? What can I do for you?

368
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 3: You were talking last week aboutance our electrical grid and

369
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 3: having stresses on it as we start to devolve towards

370
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 3: Purity V vehicles. I'm starting up a set of solar

371
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 3: farms and starting to run across some of the bumps

372
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 3: in the road, and anybody is starting up a type

373
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 3: of energy something like that is going to have to

374
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 3: do more creativity. Actually, one of the things you run

375
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 3: across is the lobbyists are nudging farmers along and you

376
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 3: hear them complain about wasting farm space, and I actually

377
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 3: kind of agree with that a little bit. One of

378
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 3: the things we're looking at doing is we're working putting

379
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:40,959
Speaker 3: things underneath our buildings warehouses, offices, apartments, vertical farms that

380
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 3: allows you to sell directly underneath. Then you don't have

381
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 3: to deal with another big obstacle trying and connect to

382
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 3: the grid and the deliberate delays that are set up

383
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 3: to take years for quite a few years of increasing

384
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 3: to get attached to it. So what we're doing is

385
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 3: we're end up buying a gently used farm from a

386
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 3: company that expanded their warehouse into their field, so they

387
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 3: had a grador stuff and we got theirs for decent

388
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 3: price tag. We're currently rounding up investors right now, so

389
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 3: you're gonna run across more folks like us. We're do

390
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 3: you mind if I toss to a quick web to

391
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 3: side out ahead? All right? Five x roisolarfarm dot com.

392
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 3: Let's get ask five x ROI solarfarm dot com where

393
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 3: we can give investors. You know, this is our first

394
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 3: project where we can do multiple soar farms and we're

395
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 3: looking to start the MV company as we run this along.

396
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 3: So we're giving investors a nice little strong punch to

397
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 3: get going and for them to be interested in working

398
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 3: with us on future projects. And that's the type of

399
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 3: creativity is going to be needed to create more solar

400
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 3: farms like this across the US. I mean, we need

401
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 3: a lot of competition because we're gonna be eating a

402
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 3: lot of power and stressing grid and if we don't

403
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 3: put up on smaller grids and alternatives, we are going

404
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 3: to look at some major problems. I mean, we've looked

405
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 3: infrastructure problems like our bridges are rooting out from under

406
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 3: exist in bad ways. Are what's grid?

407
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 2: Brian? Are you there?

408
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 3: Yep?

409
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: Here? Yeah?

410
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 2: Okay, now you cut out. So let me ask you

411
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,239
Speaker 2: this question. You're you're you're getting into this. You know,

412
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 2: as as a solar farmer, do you have do you

413
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 2: have the numbers on what do they expect? How many

414
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 2: how many is it acres or output of solar farm?

415
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 2: How much do we need for the projected ev UH

416
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 2: population we're supposed to have in twelve years?

417
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 3: That that is an ugly number that really needs to

418
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 3: be looked at more seriously because you know, you're trying

419
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 3: to look at real estic production numbers, and of course

420
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 3: every area in the US is going to have its

421
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 3: different amount of the shadiness and sudden you're going to

422
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 3: have different efficiency off of the panels. Thankfully, there is

423
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 3: a major increases popping up, so you're seeing some things

424
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 3: that we're going to make make it more cost effective.

425
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 3: But just like everything else, the more research and generation

426
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,959
Speaker 3: that goes along, I mean, look at cell phones, the

427
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 3: more they've been going along in mass production, they've been

428
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 3: able to tinker more and tweak more out of them.

429
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 3: The battery life has been phenomenal for the increase, sure,

430
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 3: but in all the same thing happens.

431
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 2: In all fairness, cell phones have been around since the

432
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 2: mid eighties, right, that's forty years ago. They're talking the

433
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 2: ev revolution is going to happen in twelve years.

434
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 3: We can kind of say the same thing with sore, you.

435
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 2: Know, so let me ask you this question. So what

436
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 2: you're saying is so solar farms. Are you're turning farms

437
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 2: that produce food into solar farms or they're working together

438
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 2: and doing the same thing.

439
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 3: Well, I'm working at abandoned lands and land for sale

440
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 3: and then converting it back over into active use, not

441
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 3: just for the farms, but putting things underneath it so

442
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 3: you can actually put jobs back out.

443
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 2: When you say when you say things underneath it, things underneath?

444
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 2: What underneath the panels or underneath the I lost you there.

445
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 3: Underneath the panels on it like what farm itself. So

446
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 3: if you're looking at apartments, warehouses, manufacturing actual vertical farms,

447
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 3: I mean you can put about anything underneath. You just

448
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 3: need to make certain your structure can support the road

449
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 3: and the wind that knocks it around at the same time.

450
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 2: Gotcha, how's availability of material to build a solar panel.

451
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 3: Right now? It's a stream irony that for one of

452
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 3: the most populous elements we have, we don't have a

453
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 3: lot of purification. And that's one of the things we're

454
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 3: looking to jump into as well. Because it's not major

455
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 3: rocket science. It's some chemistry that's got a lot of

456
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 3: evolution in it and got a room for a lot

457
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 3: of room for things have not really been tried very much.

458
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 2: So are you saying so in other words, if you

459
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 2: wanted to, I don't know how big is your solar

460
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 2: farm going to be. Let me ask the question this way.

461
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 3: How many acress our Phase one is four hundred panels? Okay,

462
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 3: it's not that giant, that's not that small.

463
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 2: So so a thousand, a thousand will produce how much

464
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, all right? And that will power how many vehicles?

465
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 3: That's a good question, because you know all the vehicles

466
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 3: are in charge of different times and h But the

467
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 3: point of it is that we need to spread this

468
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 3: out and spread out the the impact on the overall grid,

469
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 3: and the more we spread this out across the United States,

470
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 3: better off all of us are.

471
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 2: Well, my question is, so I go back to my

472
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 2: original question. Listen, I'm not trying to I'm not knocking

473
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 2: what you're doing. I understand what you're doing. I'm just

474
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 2: trying to add the numbers up, all right. I have

475
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 2: no I have no emotion or skin in this game,

476
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 2: all right, because I think that if science can take

477
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 2: over and make evs work, great. If they can't, I

478
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 2: think we're wasting our time. And that's all I'm trying

479
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 2: to look at. If you, if you wanted to go

480
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 2: out and build your solar farm today, how long would

481
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 2: it take and what's the projected cost. Can you get

482
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 2: the material you need to build those panels and you're

483
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 2: just one farm, and then extrapolate that over how many

484
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 2: thousands of farms do we need? And what is the

485
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 2: percentage of electricity they're going to produce to offset the

486
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 2: demand of evs? And those are the numbers I want

487
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 2: to know. If I was investing, Brian, that'd be the

488
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 2: first question i'd ask you.

489
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 3: The joking comment I've heard over the years is that

490
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 3: if you covered most of Iowa, that would cover the

491
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 3: entire United States. But there has been major increases in

492
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 3: sore panel efficiency, so we're looking at shrinking that need.

493
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 3: I will be very honest that I've been drinking more

494
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,239
Speaker 3: numbers forgetting to be the starting and running I have

495
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 3: for it. But that is a good number I do

496
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 3: need to put in my head for how many vehicles

497
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 3: we can cover over our time frame.

498
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 2: Well, vehicles are electricity in general? Listen right now? The

499
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 2: grid you know. Look, I live here too, and my

500
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 2: observation is the electrical grid in so many states Texas

501
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 2: and a few others among them California, there's not enough

502
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 2: electric grid to cover what they've got now with the

503
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 2: heat load demands, for ac and so forth, and severe

504
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 2: weather in summer weather, how are we going to add

505
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 2: a lot? And I can't get an answer from anybody.

506
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 2: I'm not picking on you or anybody else, but you know,

507
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 2: this is like saying, hey, I want to be seventeen again. Great,

508
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 2: you know, show me the math, show me how it's

509
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,959
Speaker 2: gonna work, and nobody can you know.

510
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 3: So what particular question are you trying to get out again?

511
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 2: Just with regards to what's the kill a lot hours

512
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 2: of your farm gonna be? Can I get material? What's

513
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 2: the cost for that? And then what's the cost of that?

514
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 2: And then we're going to go all right? Have we

515
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 2: talked about nuclear right? What's wrong with the nuclear power

516
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 2: plant equation?

517
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 3: And that's I would love were to be more on point,

518
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 3: but unfortunately we've had government and companies allowed to get

519
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 3: very sloppy with things. If you look at Paduki, Kentucky,

520
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 3: they got really really sloppy with work of protection. If

521
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 3: you go along the Ohio Valley, Ohio River Valley, there's

522
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,479
Speaker 3: just so much pollution from the nuclear industry that we

523
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 3: need a lot more oversight. Like Zimmer was one power

524
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 3: plant that was being permitted in Cincinnati as well as

525
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 3: Marble Hills further down the river in Indiana. Both of

526
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 3: those had undocumented welds, undocumented work. If you had sloppy

527
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 3: they started watering down concrete and misspecking steel. Both of

528
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 3: those plants and many more. There's like forty of those

529
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 3: across the United States that were never spun up because

530
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 3: there were just they allowed corruption to kill the projects

531
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 3: actual oversite.

532
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 2: Well, right now, do you think that oversight should come

533
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 2: from the government or an outside company?

534
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 3: Come both? I thinks be government and civilian review.

535
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 2: We got to leave it there, Brian listen, I enjoyed.

536
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 2: I enjoyed this talk. You call me back. We'll do

537
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 2: a full length interview. How's that sounds like a good

538
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 2: play anytime, brother, Good luck in your endeavor. You're very welcome.

539
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 2: I'm running any in the car. Doctor, We're back right

540
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 2: after this. Welcome back, running the card actor. Let's get

541
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 2: over to David and Maine. David fifteen Chevy Silverado pickup.

542
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 2: What's going on? David? How can I help? Yeah, yes, sir,

543
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 2: but you good? What's going on?

544
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: Well? I get this noise in my ray end of

545
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: my truck, and nobody can seem to figure out what

546
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: it is. One guy says, it's my ray end. It

547
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: can be fixed. Another mechanic says that your rear wheels,

548
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: it can be fixed. Somebody else says it's my shocks.

549
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: I had my shocks checked out and there was nothing

550
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: wrong with them. I got thirty four thousand miles on

551
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: this thirteen Silverado. It's in excellent shape. I like it.

552
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: Four wheel drive, but the noise is driving me crazy.

553
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 2: Four wheel drive.

554
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: Might I go around a corner or take a little

555
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: dip or something like this? I hear this clunk, clu bump.

556
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 2: Four wheel drive, David, Is it a four wheel drive?

557
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: Yes?

558
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 2: Okay, so is this? Are you more likely to hear

559
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:34,719
Speaker 2: this going slow? You know down the road seven eight

560
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 2: ten miles an hour or is this thirty five forty

561
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 2: miles an hour?

562
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: Only hitting bumps once in a while a bump, but

563
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: it's mostly when I turn a corner, and I mean

564
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: a shop corner, Like when I come into my driveway.

565
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: I got a little thank you mum because of the

566
00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: ditch which is tired. But when I do that, come

567
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: into my driveway, I got to turn and go over

568
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: with a little hump, and I always get that clunk

569
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: clunk and it's been going on for a long time.

570
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 2: And what's a long what's a long time, David, I.

571
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: Have a good memory, so all five or six years.

572
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 2: Okay, so it's been going on.

573
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: Almost got the truck. Nothing right After three or four years,

574
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: I started to hear this and I took it back

575
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: to the Chivalet dealership and they didn't have a go

576
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: what the hell? It was right, And it's just got

577
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: worse and worse and worse. It don't seem to bother

578
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: or anything, but I get this noise now. I'm getting

579
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: it once in a while when I come to a stop. Okay,

580
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: I'll hear this noise.

581
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 2: All right, I'm wondering.

582
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: Well, I thought, go ahead, what's that?

583
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 2: You know there is a there is a campaign going

584
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 2: on for clunking noises from the rear of the vehicle

585
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 2: with regards to the leaf springs. Does anybody talk to

586
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 2: you about that?

587
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: Yes, yes they have. I've had the leaf springs checked out.

588
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: They said they were all right. Well, but that was

589
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: three four years ago, but nothing's changed. Well when they

590
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: had the noise four then I got the noise now.

591
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, I know there was an issue going on

592
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: with a leaf springs, so I can have them checked out.

593
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 2: When they when you say they were checked out, David,

594
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 2: listen to me, because I've only got two minutes. When

595
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 2: when they when you say, when you say it was

596
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 2: checked out, what did they do? Did they look at them?

597
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 2: Did they follow the bulletin as anybody actually read the bulletin?

598
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. I took it into the dealership and.

599
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 2: They just right because you can. You can look at

600
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 2: the leaf springs all day long. They don't look bad,

601
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,479
Speaker 2: they don't look wrong. It's a it's a matter of

602
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 2: retworking and reseating the clam bolts of the rear end

603
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 2: against the leaf spring. If they don't follow the bulletin

604
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 2: just looking at it, you'll never see it. All right,

605
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 2: it's this is it's a minute detail. Do you got

606
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 2: a pencil and paper? Yeah, okay, I'm gonna give you

607
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 2: a bulletin number. I want you to get your hands

608
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 2: on this bulletin, read it, and then make the dealer

609
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 2: read it and follow it. All right, Let's eliminate. Let's

610
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 2: eliminate something. Bullet to number nine show three DHO nine

611
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 2: double zero one G is in George Clunking Noise rear

612
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 2: a vehicle from leaf spring bolts, and they talk about

613
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 2: retrking the real leaf.

614
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: Double zero one G.

615
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 2: Double O one g g g g is and George, yes, sir,

616
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 2: all right, let's follow that and let's see what that

617
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 2: does for you. The other possibility, you know, I would,

618
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 2: I would go through body mounts. I would go through

619
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 2: I would go through where the bed sits on the frame,

620
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 2: just making sure the bolts are tight. It amazes me

621
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 2: and floors me how guys will look for something so obvious.

622
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 2: They're not. They're looking for a pimple on a fly's

623
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 2: butt in some cases. And the last thing I want

624
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 2: to mention is is it possible the rear end oil?

625
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 2: And I don't think it's going to be this, but

626
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 2: I just want to mention it. Is it possible the

627
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 2: rear axle oil was contaminated from water. It's not working properly,

628
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 2: and it's causing something in the rear to chatter. Just

629
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,479
Speaker 2: food for thought. But I would start with looking at

630
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 2: those leaf springs, making sure that bulletin is done. Tell

631
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 2: me what's good. I'll tell you what's bad. Call me back,

632
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 2: let me know what happens. I'm ronning any in the car.

633
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 2: Doctor I'll be back right after this. Welcome back running

634
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 2: in the card doctor. Let's do an email from Aaron Ron.

635
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 2: I've got a twenty twenty one f five point fifty

636
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 2: for truck with a six point seven power stroke. It

637
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 2: just turned thirty six hundred and thirty five miles. You know, Aaron,

638
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 2: that kind of scares me. It's one hundred and thirty

639
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 2: five miles out of warranty. I bet this is going

640
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 2: to be a doozy. Over the past six months, the

641
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 2: fan clutch has increasingly been cycling on for a longer

642
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 2: and longer period of time. The first time I called

643
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 2: the dealership about it, it was two minutes on, two

644
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 2: minutes off. There was no service engine lighting on on

645
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,719
Speaker 2: the desk. They found no code or bulletins. The second time,

646
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 2: about three weeks ago, the cycling has become four to

647
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 2: five minutes on and thirty to fifty seconds off. This

648
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 2: last week, I did a forty five minute run down

649
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 2: the highway at sixty five seventy degree outside temp and

650
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 2: the fan clutch never disengage. The dealership says it's the clutch.

651
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 2: I'm saying it's either a censor or a computer. What

652
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 2: do you think? And how do I hold the technician's

653
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 2: hand and point them in the right direction for a

654
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 2: proper diagnosis. I don't know that you need to, Eric,

655
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 2: as far as I'm concerned, and I think this problem's

656
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 2: been going on for a while. I think this is

657
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 2: the email I saw where you were describing this or no,

658
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 2: this was the phone call that I didn't get today.

659
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 2: This problem's been going on. This started under warranty. So

660
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 2: your question to them is will a fan clutch fix it?

661
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 2: And if a fan clutch doesn't fix it, then what

662
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 2: are you going to do? And where are you going

663
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:44,879
Speaker 2: to look? That is an electro viscous fan coupling, all right.

664
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 2: They look at fan speed sensor, they look at engine temperature,

665
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 2: and then the computer provides a pulse with a varied

666
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 2: voltage signal to apply and turn the fan clutch on

667
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 2: to allow that vehicle to operate. I think the only

668
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 2: way you can hold that technician's hand is to ask

669
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,879
Speaker 2: them how to as it were, and he can get

670
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 2: that information clearly out of Ford. I could find that

671
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 2: information if I had to, but just be aware that

672
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 2: it's all there. I'm ronning Ady and the car doctor

673
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 2: who mechanics are on expensive request let's see you
