Speaker 1: Ron Andanian. They held the thermostat in place to the

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: thermostat housing with these two little wafer thin fingers that

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: kept the thermostat pellet in place. So it's really anyway,

47
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: What is it. It's the big buzzword in the industry,

48
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: a d a S. And it stands for Advanced driver

49
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: Assistance Systems. So as you can tell, it's it's with

50
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: smart cars and connected cars and everything else. It's an

51
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: awful lot to understand and and and swallow, so to speak.

52
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: Is from a technical point of view, we've has been

53
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,080
Speaker 1: to stop buying enlightened us as far as us of

54
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: the easier things to know and understand about it. And

55
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: perhaps you will understand when you take your card for

56
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: that wheel alignment, that why it's no longer you know

57
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: a hundred dollars or two hundred dollars, or why it

58
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: requires such specialized equipment because of all the bells and

59
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: whistles that we've got on the cars today making them

60
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: connected from headrest to following our eyes and everything else

61
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: that's involved in an automobile. But we are here to

62
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 1: take your calls. That's what the car doctor does and

63
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: likes to do best. So let's kick the garage doors

64
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: open and let's go over to Edin, Virginia. Their team

65
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: ford focus ed. Welcome to the car, doctor sir, how

66
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: can I help? Trying to U install a UH sub

67
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: boufer and amplifier combination and take sture taking my call

68
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: um trying to put it in the rear and we

69
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: need to get power from the battery out to the

70
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: rear to match back area and cannot find a ready pass.

71
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: Have not found, you know, an easy place to do

72
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: a hole in the firewall or the pop out and

73
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: run a wire through. And it doesn't appear to be

74
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: any place inside the car to take the twelve vaults?

75
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: How how have you not the current needed? How heavy

76
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: of a UM cable? Are using it? Um it recommends

77
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: using an eight cage, Okay, so using the thing is right,

78
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: But so it's it's a pretty it's a pretty hefty cable,

79
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: a number eight cable, so you know to get through

80
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: the firewall if you look at it, now, where does

81
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: the parking break? Is the parking break between the seat

82
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,679
Speaker 1: or is it a foot pedal down on the left.

83
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: I think I'm I think it's I think it's down

84
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: on the left, down on the left. So my question,

85
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: my first question would be where does the parking break

86
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: cable go out? Does it go out through the bottom

87
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: floor pan or does it go out through the firewall

88
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: and then straight down? And if it does, is their

89
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: room next to the you know, they have to run

90
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: that through a rubber grommet? If if if they do,

91
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: is their room to that rubber grommet? Not so that

92
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: you're drilling through the firewall, and not so that you're

93
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: obviously drilling through the cable, but you're you're you're just

94
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: punching a hole through the rubber and feeding your cable

95
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: through that. Does that get you out of the passenger compartment?

96
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: All right? So that's my first question. The second question

97
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: I've got is if you look at the firewall, there's

98
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: generally over on the left side a bundle of cable

99
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: or wiring, and that is ensconced by a big rubber grommet.

100
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: If you if you, if you know, do you have

101
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: any latitude or leeway there? If you were to take

102
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,679
Speaker 1: a small thin pick, can you punch through the rubber

103
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: only making a hole and then run your cable out,

104
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: your your number eight wire out through that and then

105
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: make your way over to the battery and the battery

106
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: junction box. Yeah. I when I looked at it initially,

107
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: it looks like I'd have to get behind the glove

108
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: box and looked more difficult than I wanted to in

109
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: terms of trying to remove the glove box. And there's

110
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: a fair amount of plumbing across there. Yeah, now we

111
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 1: don't want to do that. We're listen, I'm lazy. I

112
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: try to find the path at least resistance. Brother, Um,

113
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: I would I would look at parking break. I would

114
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: look to see where the where did the factory run

115
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: the cables, where did they run the harnesses out? Uh? Everything?

116
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: All right, so you know that that selves that. Now.

117
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: The other way to approach this is, Uh, there's a

118
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: company out there by the name of crutch Field Crutchfield

119
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: dot com. They're right down there in Virginia way. Uh.

120
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: They sell car stereo and audio and all that stuff,

121
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: and they have for many, many years. And I found

122
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: working with them has been a great experience because when

123
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: they sell you something, and even when they don't sell

124
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: you something, if you call them, you can purchase I

125
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: believe separate installation instructions. So if they happen to sell

126
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: whatever it is that you're trying to install the amp

127
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: that you're trying to install. They most likely have vehicle

128
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: specific instructions for that AMP installed on that vehicle. UM

129
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: And you know, listen, you know what could they want

130
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: for it? If it's twenty dollars, thirty dollars, forty dollars,

131
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: If somebody's got a roadmap on how to do this

132
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: and it's already laid out, I've I've learned not to

133
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: be the great innovator all the time. You know, sometimes

134
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: sometimes you know, flattery is you know, imitation is a

135
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: sim is the most sincere form of flattery. And being

136
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: able to see, hey, how did this work out? That's

137
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: that's the beauty of UM. Last, did you happen to

138
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: look for YouTube focus stereo install out on YouTube? Did

139
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: anybody show a picture there? And then? But yeah, we're

140
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: looking for vehicles specific at this point. And then and

141
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: then once that's done, once you get out to the

142
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: battery junction box, all right, they're going to be You're

143
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: gonna see in the battery junction box there's a fuse

144
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: twenty two F two, which is a fifteen and fuse

145
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: that actually powers up off of the battery monitoring sensor,

146
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: which I'm trying to get as close to that as

147
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: I can. If you can find connectors C eleven hundred,

148
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: which comes off it's it's go to the positive battery cable.

149
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: It'll be a white lead, and then the battery power

150
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: cable itself, which leads over to the battery junction box.

151
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:17,119
Speaker 1: If we can tap into that, or tap into either

152
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: the white before the fuse or actually after the fuse

153
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: if you wanted to, or the red work it goes

154
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: into the battery junction box. Do this and um, take

155
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: my email. You got you got a pencil ron at

156
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: ron at card Doctor show dot com. All right, and

157
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: what I'll what I'll do is Ron at car Doc

158
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: spell out doctor ron at car Doctor show dot com.

159
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: After the show today, I'll print out some wiring diagrams

160
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: and I'll be glad. I'll be glad to email until

161
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: you in the next day or two. All right, sir.

162
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 1: But that's that's how I would approach this. And then

163
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: once you get it through the firewall safe and secure,

164
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: and you want to obviously have it so that you're

165
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: not you don't have the wire rubbing against metal, it's

166
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: surrounded by rubber, then it's gonna be a matter of

167
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: lifting the trim on the left side of the floor

168
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: pan and tucking it underneath the silk plate and working

169
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: your way back to the trunk. So, uh, you know,

170
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: that's that's how I would approach this. But take your

171
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: time doing this first part because this first parts couldn't

172
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: be the anchor for the system, right, all right, all right,

173
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: than we're here for you, sir. You let us know

174
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,719
Speaker 1: if you know anything else. Excellent, Thank you, You're very

175
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,599
Speaker 1: welcome to take good care. Let's let's go over and

176
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: talk to is that Mike and Maryland with some questions

177
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: about Hunday's Oh boy, So hey, Mike. You know, Mike,

178
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: before you start, I didn't tell you about my week.

179
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: This week I worked on a Hunday Tiberan didn't end. Well,

180
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: go ahead to ask me your question now, uh, all right. Well,

181
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: I'm in the market for a new car and I

182
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: top of the list. I wanted to find out your

183
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: opinion of the Sonatas and theres. So when I got

184
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: off the phone with the guy from tech support, because

185
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: I actually had a call because the factory information was

186
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: incorrect and I had to call a tech line service

187
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: to get verification of the factory information that was incorrect

188
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: and he said, yeah, you diagnosed the car correctly. He said,

189
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 1: the car is broken. He said, the way you're proving

190
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: it is right, the fact for information is wrong, and

191
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: you need this eleven controller and I said, yeah, I know.

192
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 1: I just wanted to so I don't have to tell

193
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: my customer I need eleven hundred dollars worth of parts

194
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: and five allars worth of repairs on this twelve year

195
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: old Tibern with fifty two thousand miles on it, of

196
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: which I found out later on there's only one left

197
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: in the country because there's a shortage of parts and

198
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: now with the whole core real thing. Um when when

199
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: when I told the guy at Hunday or at the

200
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: tech line service, I said, well, you know what hunday

201
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: stands for And he said what's that? And I said,

202
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: you know, because everybody here's for you know, first on

203
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: race day and found on road dead and cheval Lake

204
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: and Harry rail raddle on longer standard trips. I said,

205
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: you know what hunday stands for it he said no.

206
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: What I said, I hope you understand nothing's drivable and inexpensive.

207
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: That the guy fell off the chair, so you're talking

208
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: to me about Hunday's You know, I told Tom before

209
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: the show because I was doing some pre show prep

210
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: with Tom, and I said, you know, he said, how

211
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: is your week? And I said, well, I'm thinking hun

212
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: Day may replace Volkswagen on the top of my hit list. Um,

213
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: you know, for for what they are, because it's just like,

214
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: holy cow, Um, they're both good cars. Also all kidding

215
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: the side, they're both good cars. I don't know that

216
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: I would keep it as long as this gentleman kept his.

217
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: This car was twelve going on thirteen years old, and

218
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: the problem becomes, you know, it legitimately needs this a

219
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: B S control unit, the hydraulic control assembly, and it's

220
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: it's and there's one in the country. You know. Um.

221
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: My my standard answer for Hyundai over the years, Hyundai

222
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: and Kia both like I lumped them in the same bin.

223
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: In my head, Hyundai and Kia are five to six

224
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: year cars and they're gone. I don't see the point

225
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: in keeping them longer than that. So in your opinion,

226
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: what would be a good card? What are we trying

227
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: to do? What are we looking for? Something in the

228
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: Alantra Sonata range. Yeah, something that's dependable, I want dependability

229
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: above all, something that's gonna last. UM. I still like

230
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: the Ford Fusion. I still I still like the Ford Escape.

231
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: I like the new Chevy Equinox. I wouldn't I wouldn't

232
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: consider a Chrysler at this point because every Chrysler I

233
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: see has way too much plastic on. Although the good

234
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 1: news is the Chrysler engineers saw the rust this year

235
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: they made everything out of plastic, so that doesn't happen anymore. UM.

236
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: I like I like the Toyota's UM. You know the

237
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: problem with you start getting at the Toyota and Honda.

238
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: I'll say it like this, Mike, and then I'm gonna go.

239
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: You know, I think I think four, GM, Toyota, and

240
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: Honda are probably you know the four, and you want

241
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: to add Chrysler to that. For the jeep lovers out there,

242
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 1: those are the five major food groups. You'll find something

243
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: there you'll like. And the first forum I'm happy with that.

244
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: Chrystler I've got some issues with, but okay, I'll let

245
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: you buy one. UM. The point becomes, Toyota is not bad,

246
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: GM is not bad. Four, it's not bad. Honda tends

247
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 1: to think that they're perfect and they know it, and

248
00:12:55,960 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: negotiating price and service information and everything else is an shoe,

249
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: you know, and then keep this in mind. Then the

250
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: jury is still out in my head. I don't know

251
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: if we're gonna drive what we buy the next car

252
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 1: is gonna drive it for ten or twelve years. I

253
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: don't know if the car is capable of giving me

254
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: ten or twelve years of service. I don't know if

255
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: the parts of the support of the techno, the technology

256
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: and the electrical information is going to be able to

257
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: give me that car for the next ten twelve years

258
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: because of the technology that's in it. So do this.

259
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I'll make you bet. Call me

260
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: go go drive, Go drive a Ford Fusion and Escape

261
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: and Equinox and pick something from Toyota. Call me back

262
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: in two weeks. Let me know what you think, and

263
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what the better choice is. Appreciate that.

00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: All right, sir, You're very welcome. You take good care.

275
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: time I ever called it, that's okay. But anyhow, my

276
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: bery went dead, and I went out and bought a

277
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: new battery, cranking amps, put it in there and and

278
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: went to turn to turn the key on, you know it,

279
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: turn it down and starting position at the radio on.

280
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: And then when you when you turn it down, the

281
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: radio supposed to go off. What he does? When then

282
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: when the rootball public we're supposed to start all right,

283
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: Well they're not doing any of that. So so when

284
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: you so when you turn the key, there's no dash lights,

285
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: there's no radio, there's nothing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's there's

286
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: already as already of you know, it stopped for a

287
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: minute in death light through one and then like I said,

288
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: when to leave up off of it, you know it's

289
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: supposed to start, it doesn't. Well, okay, so when you

290
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: turn the key to crank. Does the engine turn over? No,

291
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't. When you when when you get to switch,

292
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: it doesn't do anything. It just lights up the gest

293
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: board where it supposed to the right, the lights up,

294
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: and then the and then the radio. It turns off,

295
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: which I think I'm supposed to do because the that's

296
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: connection there, right, stupid stupid connections. Well yes, but stupid

297
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: comment the cars in park, right, there's a sticker and automatic. Yeah,

298
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: that's a that's a that's a that's a uh yeah, ahead, Um,

299
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: you gotta push the clutching for the safety switch, right,

300
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: So it's a it's a stick yeah, okay, So what

301
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: I did, that's right, And so I thought maybe it

302
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: was a starter. I took the starter out and had

303
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: a check and put it back in and god, the

304
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: same thing. All right. So here's my here's my question.

305
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: All right, Um, take a flashlight look under the dashboard.

306
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: You're gonna see a clutch safety switch at the top

307
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: of the pedal. Yeah, I took that out. I took

308
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: that out and had that check. All right. Well, as

309
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: it plugged in, it was plugged in. It was plugged

310
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: in right, the starter and there's there's no extra cables

311
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: coming off the battery. There's no auxiliary feeds that got knocked.

312
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: The positive and the negative, all right, so then do this.

313
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: Can you get a voltmeter down to the starter. There's

314
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a separate wire. It should be purple in

315
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: color feeding the solenoid when you turn the key to

316
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: the crank position. When you turn at the crank, twelve

317
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: volts has to appear on that soloid wire. It's gonna

318
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: be it's gonna be purple or pink, but it's gonna

319
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: be the only wire going to the singular s mark

320
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: terminal on the solenoid. It's gonna be purple or pink.

321
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: And if you don't have if you don't have power

322
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: energizing the solnoid on the starter and the keys in

323
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: the on position, then you've got a trade back up top.

324
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: You may just be the lucky one that has a

325
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 1: bad starter, I'm sorry, a bad ignition switch or a

326
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: bad feet and it just happened to coincide with the

327
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: with the you know, battery going dead itself. So let's

328
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: let's start to diagnose it before we start taking any

329
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: more parts out, and just you know, doing this individually,

330
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: Let's think, how does this circuit work. If you walked

331
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: into the front door of your house and turn the

332
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 1: light switch on and and it didn't light. Obviously, everybody

333
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: puts a bulb. And when the bulb doesn't work, what's

334
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: left the wiring or the switch on the wall, so

335
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: and the fuse. So you know, you change the battery,

336
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: the starters, your light bulb. You tried that, that didn't work.

337
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: You've looked at the clutch safety switch. That's not it.

338
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: So now you've got yourself down to is it the wiring?

339
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: Is it fuse? But it's something with power that's supposed

340
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: to power that starter. Let's start to think about how

341
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: that circuit works and take a look at that, and

342
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: then we can go from there. Let me I gotta

343
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: cut you short, uh ted, take a look at that,

344
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: call me back and then we can talk a little further.

345
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: Because rupping up against the clock, I'm running Any of

346
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: the Car Doctor coming up next, Ben Johnson Mitchell one,

347
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: stay tuned, we're back right after this. Welcome back running

348
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,959
Speaker 1: Any of the Car Doctor. You know, the technology on

349
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 1: cars today just increases every day. As a matter of fact,

350
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 1: if you wait ten seconds from now, well you get

351
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: the idea. It's probably increased two and a half times

352
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,719
Speaker 1: from whatever it was a d A S Advanced Driver

353
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: Assistance Systems. Well, I don't want to give it away

354
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: too much, folks, because I'm taking away Ben Johnson's thunder.

355
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: But we're here to talk about that today, and we're

356
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: ably assisted by Ben Johnson. He is the director of

357
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,719
Speaker 1: product management for the folkshover at Mitchell one Mitchell one

358
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 1: Information Systems, and we're happy to have him here with us,

359
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: and I'm glad he took some time. Man, Welcome to

360
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: the car doctor, Sir, how are you today? I'm great, Ron,

361
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: how are you? I'm good? Thanks for having me on.

362
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: Are you very welcome? We're happy to have you here. So,

363
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: you know, a D A S. It's it's it's the

364
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: new buzzword in the industry and for consumers and the

365
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: owners of the vehicle, um and the technician. You know,

366
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:25,959
Speaker 1: what does it mean? What is it? You know? How

367
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: are we gonna fix it? It's a brand new system

368
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: that's a little over the top in some places in

369
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: terms of technology. What's it all about? Well, you're exactly right.

370
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: It is a It is the buzzword of the industry.

371
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 1: And I think the interesting thing about a d a

372
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: S Advanced Driver's Assistant Systems is it's not a thing.

373
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: And and even if you you know, you have your shop,

374
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: if you look in your information system for a d

375
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: a S on a vehicle, typically you won't find anything

376
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: because it's kind of an industry invented category that includes

377
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: things that consider as in text will be uh knowledgeable about,

378
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: like adaptive cruise control, you know think they might be

379
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: called radar cruise control, or blindside monitoring or pedestrian detection

380
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: and things like that. So it's really a whole bunch

381
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: of features that car manufacturers have been introducing over the

382
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: last several years focused at, you know, improving the safety

383
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: of the vehicle and helping to to avoid collisions either

384
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: with objects or pedestrians. So so it's it's also it's

385
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 1: also been that the things such as you know, if

386
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: you're driving, no there's some cars out there, if you're

387
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: driving and you start to nod off, you'll the set

388
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: vibrate or the steering wheel vibrates to kind of wake

389
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 1: you up. It's that that's that's all part of this, right.

390
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: It's a lot of it as safety features, keeping them

391
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 1: keeping you safer behind the wheel. Absolutely, it sure is,

392
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: and they've been proving that they've got now statistics to

393
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 1: show that it is actually helping avoid accidents and avoiding

394
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: traffic fatalities. So it's that's it's actually a very good thing.

395
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: You know. One of the things I'm aware of is that,

396
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: you know, we had this conversation in class about a

397
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: year ago when we were first talking about a d

398
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: A S with regard to in the event of an accident.

399
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: The the driver assistance systems now record a lot of

400
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: information and a lot of the car companies are filtering

401
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,959
Speaker 1: that information to you know, which which way was your

402
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: head pointed, where you back against the head rest, where

403
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: you focused, where you you know, and they're they're saying

404
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: that in some cases, certain systems can tell where your

405
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: eyes looking down, where you on the road, where you know,

406
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: what were you doing at the point of that impact.

407
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: And I guess that's really what we're trying to make

408
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: people safer. Beat behind the wheel. Um, yeah, you're actually right,

409
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: and you know it even goes as broad as you know.

410
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: There are there are now vehicles that detect not only

411
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: the presence of a of a passenger in the front seats,

412
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: like they've done for a while for the air bag controls,

413
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: but even for the back seat so that they can

414
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 1: warn you if you like. I don't know who does this,

415
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 1: but I guess we read about it, right, is that

416
00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: you leave your child in the back seat of the

417
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: car and go grocery shopping or something. They'll actually alert

418
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: you about things like that as well. So it's all

419
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: around safety and and things like that. So for the

420
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: guy in the shop, guy like me, you know, there's

421
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 1: there's thousands of guys out there listening to us right now,

422
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: don't get nervous pent and um, you know the cars

423
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: will have forward facing radar, right that little black box

424
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 1: mounted behind the grille. So the car comes in and

425
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 1: it it needs an a C condenser or it needs

426
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: a radiator. Now I've got to take all that apart. Well,

427
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: now what happens, because now I just I just can't

428
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: take this optical mounted device that needs to point out

429
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: to the road and unbolted and bolted back in. Right.

430
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: There's a procedure here, there is, and that's what really, Um,

431
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: it's it's not it's nice that you're bringing this up

432
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: on your show, because a lot of technicians don't understand

433
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 1: exactly that scenario. So you know, the trick to making

434
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 1: all this work is keeping it all in proper calibration.

435
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: These are, like you said, they're cameras, they're radars, and

436
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 1: they are designed and programmed to understand where they are

437
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: in the world, or at least in the presence of

438
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: that vehicle, and when they see something, their program to

439
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: understand based on their calibration, where that something is. So

440
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: as you stay, uh, there's certain cars if you just

441
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: remove the if you're going to replace the A C

442
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: condens or the radiator, there's just a little box with

443
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,479
Speaker 1: you know, three or four screws holding it down, and

444
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: you don't think anything of it. You take it off,

445
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 1: you do the job, you do the job correctly, you

446
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,959
Speaker 1: put it all back together, and as far as you know,

447
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: you put it back together correctly, and you probably did.

448
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: But just the as you point out, just the act

449
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: of moving that device, removing it and reinstalling it, the

450
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: screw um precision isn't there to make sure that it's

451
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: mounted exactly the same way that it was. So there's

452
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: a recalibration procedure that many times has to be performed,

453
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: and and that's not something the average shop is really

454
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 1: going to be able to do is it well? You know,

455
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: And that's an interesting point. So there's a couple and

456
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: the real challenge is that it's not consistent, right, So

457
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: there are a lot of cars that to do that calibration,

458
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: you have to have a a lot of space like

459
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: between like twenty five in front of the car maybe

460
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 1: and forty to the sides that's unobstructed, and a targeting

461
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: system that sits in front of the vehicle so that

462
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: you can calibrate that and it doesn't accidentally lock onto

463
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 1: another object in your shop instead of the calibration targets

464
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: that you wanted to And those pictures are not cheap,

465
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 1: and of course a lot of shops don't have that

466
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: kind of space to dedicate and so that's a challenge. Um.

467
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: And then there's another type of calibration that actually doesn't

468
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: require any targets and most you know, I know that

469
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: our brand, you know, we're part of the stamp On

470
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: family of companies are scan tools will initiate those calibration procedures,

471
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: but it requires time. You might have to drive that

472
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: car from you know, fifteen to half fifteen minutes to

473
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: a half an hour at speeds thirty five miles and

474
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: above for you know, some amount of time. And you so, ay,

475
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 1: you've got time commitments to to do that in depending

476
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: on where you're it's located, you may not be able

477
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: to do that certain times of the day. I know

478
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: you're not gonna do that in Los Angeles or Washington,

479
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 1: d C. Right for a good part of the day.

480
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: So there's challenges either way you try to do it.

481
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: And you know, for the consumers out there, Ben, and

482
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: for the technicians, this could be something you know, you

483
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: could have to do in a d A S calibration

484
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: from something as simple as replacing a windshield, right exactly,

485
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: even as simple as a four wheel alignment. Right, many

486
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: times things out of calibration. Yeah, and that and that

487
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: was my next comment. So the days of that, well,

488
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: just you know, shoot toe and let it go. That's

489
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: coming to an end. That's that's that's over now because

490
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: now the alignment is tied to a steering angle sensor.

491
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: I don't have to tell you, and you know that's

492
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: tied to the rest of the systems which way the

493
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: wheels point, how it reacts, uh, you know which way

494
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: the forward facing radar, the back mounted security camera, the

495
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: forward mounted camera. They're all tracking and telling these cars

496
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: where they have to be. I think the guys are

497
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: gonna have the hardest time. Tell me, if you're great

498
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: the body shop owners, how are they going to keep up?

499
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: Body shop owners are struggling with that right now, and

500
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: you're right because they deal with it on everything. You know.

501
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 1: The challenge with this technology is, as you've pointed out,

502
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 1: all these devices are all around the car, and they

503
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: have to buy necessity be very obvious. I mean, you know,

504
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: they can't be hidden in the middle of the car

505
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: or you know, somewhere that's you know, they're not likely

506
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 1: to get shifted around. As you pointed out, just replacing

507
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: a bumper or even repainting a bumper, you have to

508
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: be very careful about the thickness of the paint and

509
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: things because that can affect that some of those ultrasonic

510
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 1: sensors and uh, you know, it's just it's kind of

511
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: a new normal. I mean, the safety aspects are very good. Um,

512
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 1: you know, I think this is a real benefit to

513
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: the to the driving public. But the driving public is

514
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 1: going to be faced with you know, you're you know,

515
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what the current special alignment deal is.

516
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: The alignment or whatever it is. The alignment is going

517
00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 1: to be accompanied with a recalibration procedure. And what some

518
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: shops are doing, of course, is they're investing in the

519
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: equipment to do this. What we're finding in a lot

520
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,719
Speaker 1: of areas is you'll find a shop that does have

521
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: the space and and does have the wherewithal and they

522
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: will We're seeing a lot of hub and spoke relationships

523
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: where one shop will invest in all the other shops.

524
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: They'll do their radiator replacements or their windshield replacements or

525
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: whatever they're doing, and then they'll send those cars over

526
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: to the one shop and just sub let that. So

527
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: one shops stay is very busy doing the ads and

528
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: the others are doing what they've always done and you know,

529
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 1: kind of feeding him business. And we're in the collision

530
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 1: shops are doing that as well. They're either feeding it

531
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: to the dealerships, which you know is one avenue, and

532
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: even the dealerships are are challenged with sometimes the space

533
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: and the and the equipment to do all this, and

534
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: so the wait times to get all these things done

535
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 1: is a is a bit of a challenge. Um. And

536
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: then we're seeing, as I said, the aftermarket shops kind

537
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: of jumping into those uh opportunities as well. It sort

538
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: of makes that basic mechanical sixty ford fairly and look

539
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: like a desirable vehicle to a point. Huh. You know,

540
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 1: it's definitely easier to work on without a doubt. Hey, Ben,

541
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 1: real quick in our closing minutes. So you know, Mitchell

542
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,360
Speaker 1: stepped up to the plate. You've created a category now

543
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: in Mitchell one A d A s right. If we're

544
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: looking for the information as a repair shop, tell us

545
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: real quick, if you can in sixty seconds or less,

546
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: how did you And I'm I'm trying to make you

547
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,959
Speaker 1: put all this into a tight time spot. How did

548
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: you do it? Because it looks great on on on

549
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: the computer. Well, thanks, and yeah, we uh, you know,

550
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: we recognize one of the big challenges of course, whether

551
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: your shop or your your listeners. Shops are going to

552
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: perform these um A calibrations on their own, it's important

553
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: they understand what they're getting into when they do a job.

554
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: So we've put a feature in the protomand product Mitchell

555
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: One's ProtoMan that's it's called a DOS driver Assist and

556
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: when you click that it's it combs through. So let's

557
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: say you've got a vehicle identified in the system, you're

558
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: working on something, and you click this button and it'll

559
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: sit through all the oe information we have to say, look,

560
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: this car could have been equipped with this forward radar,

561
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: this side sensor of this rear camera, whatever, and then

562
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: it'll actually identify when those devices do need calibration, if

563
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: if it's an alignment or just an R and I

564
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: of that of that component or what have you. So

565
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: it's a very quick reference. And then of course you

566
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: can click in and see what the procedure is to

567
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: do that calibration, whether it requires targets or just a

568
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: drive or what what have you. Yeah, and that's and

569
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's industry leading. Ben. We gotta go.

570
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: We're up against the clock. I I really want to

571
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: thank you personally for taking the time today and also

572
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: for all the efforts out there at Mitchell one making

573
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: my life and thousands of other mechanics lives easier. You

574
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: guys do a great job. Where can the listeners get

575
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: more information Mitchell one dot com. Mitchell one dot com

576
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: should have what they need and we can set them

577
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: up with information for whatever they want to learn about us.

578
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: And I appreciate the time on the on the show run.

579
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: We're very welcome Ben. You take good care of have

580
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: a good rest of the weekend. I'm running any of

581
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: the Car Doctor. We're back right after this. Hey, welcome back.

582
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: Why don't any of the Car Doctor here one again?

583
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: Thank Ben Johnson and the folks over at Mitchell One

584
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: for taking the time today. Let's get over to Claire

585
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: in Maryland talking about buying a Ford Flex. Claire, welcome

586
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: to the Car Doctor. How can I help? Thank you?

587
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: You're welcome. Um. I'm wondering what you would think about

588
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: buying for flex if if there would be a problem

589
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: with getting parts, as it's an older car and I

590
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: don't see that many on the road, but I prefer

591
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: that to a van. Well, I always think about parts.

592
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: Parts are a big part of my my mindset. When

593
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: I'm purchasing a vehicle as nine years old, you know,

594
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's getting up there in terms of time.

595
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: Do I have a choice? Can I go to a twenty?

596
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: Can I go to a NEWR Ford Flex? Or is

597
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: it just falling out of the price range? No, no,

598
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: I could. I just happened to see what I liked. Yeah, right,

599
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: and how many miles are on this one that you like? Um? Okay,

600
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: so yeah, you know, and the problem is it's nine

601
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,959
Speaker 1: years old, it's a hundred thirty thousand miles. And then

602
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: my next question is always, you know, what sort of

603
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: documented service record does it have? I have all that,

604
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: that's that's that's all fine, okay. And what kind of

605
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: a number they're asking for for this car? Um, nine

606
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: thousand dollars sounds like a lot of money, doesn't it

607
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: to me? To me, it does. And then well, and

608
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: then my next question is, so that's nine thousand, let's

609
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: let's let's just make it an even number ten. Let's

610
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: say it's ten grand, all right, do you have another

611
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: five thousand? Okay, so throw five thousand and and now

612
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: you've got a budget of fifteen. How much more car

613
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: does fifteen buy you? Does that extra five get you?

614
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: Does that extra five thousand buy you a four or

615
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: five year newer vehicle with half the mileage? And if

616
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: it does, it would make sense to me to purchase

617
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: that provide it's as nice and as clean of condition,

618
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: because that hundred and thirty thousand mile nine year old

619
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: car can easily chew up two thousand dollars in the

620
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: first year for service, repair, break, tires, whatever it might need,

621
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: unless you haven't have found the one that really truly,

622
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: absolutely doesn't need anything. But that's a hard thing these days. Okay,

623
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: And I don't see that many Flexes on the road.

624
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: Is there a do you think they're I think they're

625
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: good cars. I have. I have more than a few,

626
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: probably have about a half a dozen, six or seven,

627
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: and I service on a regular basis. They've all got

628
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand miles on them. They run well,

629
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: no real concerns, no major issues. But now if you

630
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: came to me and said, hey, I want to buy

631
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: I want to buy Keith rights Ford Flex, I'd say, yeah,

632
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: that's great, because I know everything that's been done to it,

633
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: and I know who did it. I'm sort of a

634
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: fuss I'm like a fuss pot like that. So you know,

635
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: condition dictates demand. Who worked on and how they worked

636
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: on and what was actually done is all part of

637
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: the equation. Now, if you find for that extra five

638
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 1: thousand dollars you're only gonna be able to buy a

639
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: twelve and it's got a hundred thousand miles on it,

640
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: then you know you've got to compare the condition between

641
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,479
Speaker 1: the ten you have and the twelve that you might find,

642
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: and and and make a decision from there. All right,

643
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: But as a rule, the Ford Flex is a good vehicle. Good.

644
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: That's all right. You're very welcome, You take good care,

645
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: and thanks for calling um. Yeah, you know it's tough

646
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: buying a used car, right, You've got to You've got

647
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: to watch what you're buying today. And there's a lot

648
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: of questions and a lot of things to think about.

649
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: I appreciate the question. Eight five zero nine zero zero,

650
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: Run any of the car doctor. We're coming back right

651

Speaker 1: after this. Don't go away, welcome back, run any of

652
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: the car doctor. You know, I read this email a

653
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. I never finished it. I'm amazed

654
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: at and we're just talking to um. I'm sorry. I

655
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: think it was Mary and Maryland or Claire Claire and

656
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: Maryland about buying a used car. And I'm amazed that,

657
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: you know how the mileage on the cars is going

658
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: up and up and up right, um, hundred thirty thousand

659
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: miles on a nine year old Flex, and she's considering

660
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: buying it because it looks like a good car. Yeah,

661
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: because cars are lasting longer, and maybe, you know, maybe

662
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: car companies are gonna have to start to make parts

663
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: available longer, but maybe they don't want to hank wink wink,

664
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: you know, like maybe that's the maybe that's the deal

665
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: that we want to, you know, make cars so we

666
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: can't get parts from you gotta buy a new car, um,

667
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: you know. But from this is from Michael down in

668
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: Texas and he's talking about this email I read a

669
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. Haven't gotten back to you, and

670
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: he's talking about in response to a caller about a

671
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 1: Toyota Sianna with two or thousand miles on it and

672
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: you know what to do to fix it up. And

673
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: you know, Michael has got some great insight as far

674
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: as you know what goes and what has to be

675
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,399
Speaker 1: replaced on Sienna because he's driven one for quite some time.

676
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: He's got a ton of miles on it. But you know,

677
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: it's it's the idea that cars are lasting longer, and

678
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: they are they are made better and they just take

679
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: care and caution. I wonder what the a d a

680
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: S system, the Advanced Driver Assistance System electronics is gonna

681
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: be like after that car is ten twelve, fifteen years

682
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: old in terms of aligning and calibrating it. And well,

683
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: the electronics on the newer car has become obsolete, like

684
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: Windows seven, XP three point one and so on. Things

685
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: to think about. I'm running Indian the car doctor reminding

686
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: you give mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. Let see you
