Three years ago. 40 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: I've been through a lot of cars. Back in the fifties, 41 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: I had a nineteen fifty Ford Ranch Wagon or two 42 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: door wagon and you can put a four by eight, 43 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: she'd replywood in the back.

This 48 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: is around the sleddogs, got a dog team, and I 49 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: want to be able to put the dog boxes on 50 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: the back. He's volume I had to put down a 51 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: fifteen hundred dollar deposit because he says, nobody else would 52 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: buy a four door pickup truck. Well, just what Most 53 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,079 Speaker 1: of the pickup trucks today are four doors? Yeah? I 54 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: led the way. Yeah, congratulations, you're the guy. It's your 55 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 1: fault you started. So, yes, sir, that uh for goo 56 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: cab had a three windsor in it, and uh I 57 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,519 Speaker 1: put in a Melling Bi tour cam and boy, I 58 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: tell you nothing good pull stops a lot of torque. 59 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: But it was limited to sit on the on the box. 60 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: The can came in, don't run this RPM. So as 61 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: long as you're keeping on the or wherever it needed 62 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: to be, that was a great truck. Now we're losing 63 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: our vehicles. First thing they had was cash for clunkers, 64 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: and they took out a lot of really good old 65 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: time cars that would a lot of good parts on them, 66 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: and they they flattened them and put them on a ship. 67 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: So the Senate to China and I live on across 68 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: the Kran's main trail. It's it's it goes a flight 69 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: across main from east so west and truckloads. So they 70 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: flattened out pickups and cars and everything else going down 71 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: the road all day every day. Finally they made him 72 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: putting nets over them because the pots will blow off 73 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: going down the road. But that's where a lot of 74 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: an off, a lot of old vehicles went. We used 75 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: to have the jail yards, and we're going but let 76 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: us go in and wander around. And the fill her neck. 77 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 1: Oh my guas desk tank rusted out. So I went 78 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: to follow an old Ford pick up to how to 79 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: fill her neck and took it off myself. You can't 80 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: do that anymore. You gonna get sued. Well, you can't 81 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: do that. Number one and number two. They don't like 82 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: salvage yards, junkyards, whatever word we want to use, because 83 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: they're worried about the environmental impact and dirty soil and 84 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: everything else. Rightfully. So I'm not discounting that they made 85 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 1: it very difficult to recycle car parts. And you know, 86 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: there's a certain level you see. And let me just 87 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: jump in here for a minute if I can, Roger. 88 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: But you know, they they they've they've forgotten. And by 89 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,799 Speaker 1: day I mean the powers that be, whoever's in charge, 90 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: not just the present administration, all of them, all right. 91 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: An automobile was intended to be transportation. It was intended 92 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: to get you to work. It was intended to get you, 93 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: you know, for a little that Sunday ride for to 94 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: to get you out of the city and to move 95 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: out into the suburbs and create the urban sprawl that 96 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: we now know today as America. And they've forgotten that. 97 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 1: It was supposed to be affordable. It was designed to 98 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 1: replace the horse. It wasn't designed to give you the 99 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:51,359 Speaker 1: sensation of home DVD in sed heaters. Uh, you know, 100 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: self driving your couch down the highway at ninety for 101 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: the masses, because a lot of people can't afford that. 102 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: A lot of people are just trying to get by 103 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: and feed their families and put their kids through college 104 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: and get to that better life. They've they've taken the automobile, 105 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: in my opinion, and they've pushed it towards the point 106 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: for the elite, where the the everyday person can't afford 107 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: it anymore. And when that car of their's breaks, they 108 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: leave them scratching their heads saying, now how will I 109 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: get to work? To your point? No more junkyards, no 110 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: more salvage, no more used cars. And it's very interesting, 111 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: but you you make an excellent point about cash for clunkers. 112 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: They took an awful lot of cars out of circulation. Yep, 113 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: a lot of good parts ye rear ends you know 114 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: things you can't yet right um, and it's it seems 115 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: like they wasted an awful lot of I want to 116 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: say that, like this manufacturing manpower, an awful lot of 117 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: thought went into the design and the manufacturing, the creation 118 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 1: of those parts, and then we just crushed them. And 119 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: you know, now it's gone. All that effort is gone. 120 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: And whether the whether the cars went overseas to China 121 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: or whether the cash for clunkers put a lot of 122 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: clunkers into you know, other countries with different economies, I'll 123 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: never forget. We had a customer years ago that it 124 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: was I think it was a ninety four, So that's 125 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: how long ago this was. It was probably a good 126 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: twenty years ago at ninety four Toyota Corolla with four 127 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: hundred thousand miles on it, and I could be off 128 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: a little on the timeline and the mileage, but it 129 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: had a dead hole, it needed an engine. It finally 130 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: swallowed a valve. I believe it at three hundred and 131 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: nineties something thousand miles right, And when they came to 132 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: pick it up because the customer decided to scrap it 133 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: and get scrap value or cash for clunkers or whatever 134 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: the whatever the game was at that point, And I 135 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: asked the driver, I said, so, what do you do 136 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: with all these cars, because it seems like a lot 137 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: of these cars just disappearances. Oh, this will be on 138 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: the boat tomorrow, will be heading to you know, Jamaica 139 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: or Barbados or you know offshore where their economy. They'll 140 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: they'll will work on this car. They'll take parts from 141 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: the other three that showed up last week, and they'll 142 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: turn this car and they'll sell it. At the time 143 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: twenty years ago, they'll sell this car for an eight 144 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: or nine grand to somebody and that person will then 145 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: they'll finance that car for another five or six years, 146 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: and now they've created and they just you know, it's 147 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: just it's just amazing. They just keep reinventing and reselling 148 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: in in my opinion, kind of bamboozling us a little bit. 149 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: We don't I'm off I'm off topic here. I'm not 150 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: supposed to talk about this stuff. But you know, my 151 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: my rights as an American citizen are still valid. I 152 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: believe that. I think they're they're they're taking the American 153 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: automobile industry and they're turning it upside down, and they're 154 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: getting away from the function of what it was supposed 155 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: to do. Um. You know, and we don't see it 156 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: coming until it's too late, you know. I just I 157 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: just read an article and I think it's here in 158 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: my desk somewhere about the cost to ensure electric vehicles 159 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: because you know electric vehicles here it is, all right, 160 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: you know, that has to come into this conversation, Roger, 161 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: It's okay I talk about this. Um, you know. It 162 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: says does it cost more to ensure an electric vehicle? 163 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: And this was on this was on review Geek, and 164 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: I was reading it and it came out to where 165 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: the average electric vehicle is is four hundred dollars a 166 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: year at minimum, more to ensure than an internal combustion engine. 167 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,079 Speaker 1: And that's just getting started. And then when you get 168 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: into a and you get into a ninety thousand dollar 169 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: rivan truck, it's it's it's six dollars more a year. 170 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, as the price of the vehicle 171 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: goes up, the cost to ensure it um here it is, 172 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,959 Speaker 1: it's the price of the average cost of car insurance 173 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: in the US is around seventeen seventy a year for 174 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: full coverage. That number quickly jumps over when you insure 175 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: an electric vehicle, and when you own a forty dollar 176 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: e V, it'll cost less than a ninety thousand dollar 177 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: riv an electric truck for full coverage. We've seen expensive 178 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 1: electric vehicles being insured for around nineteen hundred per year, 179 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: making them only slightly more costly to keep covered. So 180 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: it's it. You know, they're they're making the price of 181 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: transportation to the point where nobody can afford to do it. 182 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: And that's the bottom line, and they're not making it 183 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: any easier. And what they're not seeing long term, all 184 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: the junk yards, all the salvage yards, all the re 185 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: manufacturers of parts, all the jobs that depend on the 186 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: automobile industry. And you know, I'm gonna get a lot 187 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: of mail for this. And I really don't care anymore 188 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: because I think we're all being bamboozled. But I defy 189 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: anybody to go look up the value of the American 190 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: automotive American aftermarket. You know how many jobs the aftermarket 191 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: creates and how many jobs are dependent upon the American 192 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: automobile industry. And see what that's gonna do to the 193 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: economy if and when something happens. So, Roger, I appreciate 194 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: your comments. I appreciate your sharing, and uh, you got 195 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 1: me riled up. Let's see if we have a good 196 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: hour of this hour. I'm on any of the car 197 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,959 Speaker 1: Doctor here at five five six zero. I'll be back 198 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:59,079 Speaker 1: to take more calls right after this. Don't go away. 199 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: And what's more fun than listening to Ron and Ady 200 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: and the car doctor and getting that car fixed? Right 201 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 1: A five five zero zero zero. Give Ron a call. 202 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: Now back to Ron. Hey, let's get over to Jerry 203 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: and Iowa. Jerry, welcome to the Car Doctor, sir, how 204 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: can I help? I've got a pass key issue with 205 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: security system on a two thousand Camaro. The car runs, 206 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 1: it doesn't seem to shut off the ignition. The concern 207 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: is on the O B D messaging. It shows up 208 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: on the dash panel the instrument cluster says security. And 209 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: I don't remember that this is a car that gets 210 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: limited miles. It's year old car. It's not everyday driver, 211 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: just driven once in a while, and this showed up 212 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: a year or two ago. And because of a limited 213 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,719 Speaker 1: use of the car, I haven't really dealt with what 214 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: was went on, but it's something that's going to have 215 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: to be dealt with otherwise at some point it won't 216 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: start at all, but it starts runs UM, So the 217 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:14,319 Speaker 1: problems actually that the reason the security light shows up 218 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: on the dashes, it's a problem in the electronic module 219 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: that's in the key or this is tied deeper into 220 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: a control module that's inside the dash someplace, or on 221 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: the engine side that controls security system and controls engine management. Well, 222 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: before we go to deep, Jerry, first is this is 223 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: Z is a base Commeral? Oh, this is okay? So 224 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: a Z if I remember correctly, had it had UM 225 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: vehicle theft to turrent which was pass K and then 226 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: and then it had perimeter theft to turrent. Oh yeah, 227 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's definitely got a motion centerpiece and there's 228 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: a role module in the trunk area underneath the hatchback 229 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 1: there that you can control sensitivity on. Okay, so you know, 230 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 1: are we sure the security light you're seeing is related 231 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 1: to pass key or is it related to perimeter? Oh, 232 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's it's the car starts runs because 233 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: where my question is trying to figure out which I 234 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: hadn't thought about the fact that it was the perimeter 235 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: piece is not working properly and there's so I didn't 236 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: even think of that, right because well, because the fact 237 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: is if it was a I've never how can I 238 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: say this, I've never seen a pass key system where 239 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: the security light was on that the vehicle started. It's 240 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,319 Speaker 1: it's it's not like they warned you. They weren't. You know, 241 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: it's not like they were gonna say, hey, something's broken, 242 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: but we're gonna let the car start anyway, because otherwise 243 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: it would otherwise it would defeat the whole purpose of 244 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: the pass key system in the first place. It's designs. 245 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,719 Speaker 1: If if it doesn't get the right past motion right, 246 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's broke. So you know, that's the 247 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: first thing we want to do. I would want to 248 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: go in and scan all modules. Who's who's talking to who? 249 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: Who's telling me what? Now if it turns out there 250 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: for some reason it is the pass key system. Is 251 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: the pass key system broken? Right? Is there just a 252 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: fault and the past key information comes out of the 253 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: body module? All right? So you know I want to 254 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: go and look and see what is the body module 255 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: asking me for or telling me a right? And that 256 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: body module is actually when it's located on the engine side, 257 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: isn't it I believe so? Yes, yeah, because there's there's 258 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: two or three modules that were on a fender well 259 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: on rin the hood only two? Only two or three 260 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: must have been a slowyer for GM I don't remember 261 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: you have memory. Yeah, there's there's a bunch of modules 262 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: all over the car. Remember those are there because every 263 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: time you open hood they're right there. Right. So, But 264 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: that's that's how I would approach this. I would be 265 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: very skeptical, you know, for all you know, or let 266 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: me ask the question this way, Uh, dome lights work correctly, 267 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: dome lights go out? You have no door jar warning errors. 268 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: Nothing like that hood trunk. Uh. The only thing that 269 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: does show up once in a while and was that 270 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: the motion sensor on the exterior protection package would go 271 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: off use a high wind if the car was parked 272 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: in the garage parking public park parking garage, loud vehicles 273 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: going through the sound sensor would cause it go off. 274 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: So I on this particular car, I've had it for 275 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: twenty years, I backed that sensor way off so that 276 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: it wouldn't go off. Is often, but it still does 277 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: the case. Okay, Uh, you know what you could do 278 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: is also if you want to get into diagnosing this, 279 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: it might be seeing a slight change of resistance between 280 00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: the key pellet at the top and let's actually get 281 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: to the module. It might be telling you that maybe 282 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: there's a corrosion and a connector or a sensor. So 283 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: one of the things you could do is measure the 284 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: resistance of the key al right, put put an ometer 285 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: across the pellet, and then if you go down to 286 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: the base of the column where that wiring comes out, 287 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: dis and gets the same thing right disconnected there and 288 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: disconnect the plug at the base of the column. Put 289 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: the ometer across there. You should get the same thing, 290 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: and if you don't, it might be enough of a variation. 291 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: It's causing the light to go off, but not enough 292 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,479 Speaker 1: of a variation to prevent the car from starting. Yeah, 293 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: and the aige on it we're talking twenty years old. 294 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: You could easily have corrosion in a bunch of places. Sure, absolutely. 295 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: And then the other the other thing that was common. 296 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: Does the car have tilt wheel? Yes? Do you use it? Yeah? Yeah. 297 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: The other thing is a lot of cars with tilt 298 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: wheel with GM pass K, the wires were always breaking 299 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: because you're because you're you know, to get in, you 300 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 1: put the wheel up to get put the wheel down, 301 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: and you go back up and then you go back down. 302 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: And you know that was that was probably the most 303 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,159 Speaker 1: common past key failure over time. So uh, you know 304 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 1: you could signal and cruise that whole cluster of wires. Yeah. 305 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: So but the tilt column cars, uh, just it was abominable. 306 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: So what they what they created? So just just be 307 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 1: aware of all that too, all right, and you know 308 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: maybe and you know, maybe what you want to do, um, 309 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:34,919 Speaker 1: if you wanted to see if the light goes out, 310 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: if you decide that they I've got poor resistance or 311 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 1: poor connection, or a change of resistance from the top 312 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: to the bottom of the column. Measure the resistance of 313 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: the key. Find a resistor that matches the key and 314 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: put it across that connector on the bottom side, right 315 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: at the base of the column. Circuit resets, right, does 316 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 1: the circuit reset? Does the light go out? The danger 317 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 1: is you've just defeated the theft function of vehicle. But um, 318 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: you know, if the vehicles in a garage, at the 319 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: vehicles in a secure place. Yeah, you know, you're You're okay. 320 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: The vehicle gets stored in the wintertime, it's definitely stick here. 321 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 1: All right, kiddo, do that Call me back if you 322 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 1: need more. I appreciate the call. You're very welcome, sir. 323 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: I'm running anting of the car Doctor. We're back right 324 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: after this. Don't go away. Welcome back running anating of 325 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: the car doctor here at five zero zero. Does Google 326 00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 1: fixed cars? I wonder, right, I know, I've I've had 327 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: these conversations with people of late, and you know it's said, Um, 328 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 1: I had a very nice young lady come into the 329 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: shop this week and she was explained to me that 330 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: her priests needed a wheel bearing because three years prior 331 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: the left front wheel bearing had gone bad and she 332 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: heard a similar noise this time, and maybe it was 333 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: the right front wheel bearing where she heard the noise 334 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: coming from. And I said, you know, well, you know 335 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 1: what makes you think it's a wheel bearing? And she said, well, 336 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 1: I you know, it's what I had last time. And 337 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 1: I looked it up on Google and Google said it 338 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 1: was it was likely a bad wheel bearing in the 339 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: right front And I said to her, well, you know, 340 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 1: why would you use Google? And she says, because I 341 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 1: have nothing else. Of course, I proceeded then to tell 342 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 1: her about the uh this thing I do every weekend. 343 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: And hopefully Mary has become a listener because I gave 344 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,199 Speaker 1: her the podcast info for where she is. And um, 345 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: you know, I said, Google doesn't fix cars. Google is 346 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,400 Speaker 1: taking it's looking at relation. It's a relational database. It's 347 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 1: looking at you know, common failures and occurrences and trying 348 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: to lump them all into at you know, max mass 349 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: exodus of you know, this is how we do to 350 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: fix cars. So I guess this story starts with this 351 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: priest came into the shop this week at our Automotive 352 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: and and you know, customer concerned ticking noise below five 353 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 1: miles and a shaking the steering wheel above fifty got 354 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: the r O sign, dropped it in Danny's rack, and 355 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: I said, go. He went out and he knows the drill. 356 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: Danny's a smart cookie. He took it around town. He 357 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 1: did his usual route and he went out on the 358 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: highway and brought it back and he just kind of 359 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: was chuckling, and I went, Okay, there's gonna be something good. 360 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: And we put it up in the air, and you know, 361 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: it wasn't what Google thought it was. There was a rock, 362 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: a little tiny rock on the inside of the brake 363 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,479 Speaker 1: rotor on the right front, and as it would go around, 364 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: you'd here click at the click, click at the click, 365 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 1: click at the click, and then you got the car 366 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 1: going fast enough and the trifical force would pin the 367 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: rock to the inside of the rotor and the noise 368 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,439 Speaker 1: would stop. So that was the that was the noise. 369 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,160 Speaker 1: That was the tickety tick noise. But that wasn't the shake. 370 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: And the shik is a concern I've I've got to 371 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: tell you. The shake is a is a big concern 372 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 1: of mine and I want to talk about I'm gonna 373 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: tell you what it is. In a minute. Um, you know, 374 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: the brakes needed to come apart. Obviously, we had to 375 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: get the road or apart. And you know, we weren't 376 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: sure if it was a rock or a piece of 377 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,719 Speaker 1: metal or something, and uh, you know what exactly happened there, 378 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: But we took it apart, we fixed it, We got 379 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 1: Mary squared away. But it needed four tires, you see. 380 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: And this is that, this is that conversation I always 381 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 1: have with you guys about cars have to be affordable, 382 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 1: all right, because there's I think there's more people out 383 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 1: there that can't afford to maintain and keep a car. 384 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: Then there is that ken all right, in this day 385 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:48,199 Speaker 1: and age, right, dollars are type for everybody. And you know, 386 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: it had four tires. And she was surprised to hear 387 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 1: it needed tires because I I just put tires on 388 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: this car recently, and I guess she had nobody ever 389 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: explained to her about rotating tires, that you have to 390 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: move tires front the back, across them in order to 391 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: get it to you know, increase the life of the tire, 392 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 1: that kind of thing. But it was probably the third 393 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: the third vehicle in the last oh, I don't know, 394 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: five six days tires made Indonesia. And I've got to 395 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 1: tell you, I'm not impressed with these off shore tires. 396 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of tires are off shore, all right. 397 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: There's a lot of name brands here in the States 398 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 1: that we know, as you know, Cooper, Firestone, General. You 399 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: know a lot of these tires are made off shore, 400 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,959 Speaker 1: but they're made to a different standard. I suspect because 401 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: you don't see as many problems with the what I'll 402 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 1: called domestic name brands as you do the the Maiden Indonesia, 403 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: Maiden Thailand tires that are coming into the country. Now, 404 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: it seems that there's a different standard there. I'm just 405 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 1: not really impressed the left rear tire on this car. 406 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: You spun it up in the air and you looked 407 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: at it, and to think this thing had more wobble 408 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: in it than a drunk on a Saturday night. Now, 409 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: you probably can't say that on radio, but who cares? Um? 410 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 1: And I showed that to her and she was like, 411 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 1: she was very shocked. And you know, part of this 412 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: conversation that I'm trying to have with you right now 413 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,880 Speaker 1: is it's a matter of trust. I think you've got 414 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,400 Speaker 1: to look at where you're getting your vehicle repaired. It's 415 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 1: it's got to be based on it's got to be 416 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: based on trust, or at least you've got to understand 417 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: what you're doing. If if you're going into a repair 418 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: shop and in the back of your mind your attitude 419 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,479 Speaker 1: is how cheap can I get this? You're about price, 420 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 1: and I get it. You know what. Everybody loves a bargain, 421 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: all right. There's certain things I just that are not negotiable. 422 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: Ron's rules, right, I don't negotiate order repair whether I'm 423 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 1: getting it, because there's cases where I'm out of town 424 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,400 Speaker 1: I've got to go buy it, or there's cases of 425 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: you know, where I'm giving it because I know the 426 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: value of what I'm giving. I know, I know what 427 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,719 Speaker 1: I'm doing in terms of I'm keeping you safe, I'm 428 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: keeping you on the road, I'm keeping you out of trouble. 429 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: That's that's my job, you know. I said to somebody 430 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: this week, we were talking about order repair and their 431 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: perception of what order repair is and what I think 432 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 1: it really is. And I said, you can't come in 433 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: here and say, well, my dad said this is away 434 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 1: cars where you know what. Unfortunately your father has been 435 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: gone for probably twenty years, and in his day it 436 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: was forty years ago. You know, auto repair has changed 437 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 1: since I started this conversation at this segment, since the 438 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 1: bottom of the hour. Uh, you know, it's just it's 439 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: just an ongoing constant change. In the end, Mary, we 440 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: fixed Mary's tick tick, and she's gonna get four tires. Uh, 441 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna we're gonna talk about that. We 442 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: we gave her some numbers and told her what it is, 443 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: and she's, you know, unfortunately, she has to wait for 444 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: her next paycheck because she's like a lot of people today, 445 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,679 Speaker 1: she's paycheck to paycheck and she's struggling to keep it 446 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: together with you know, two kids and no husband and 447 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: and so forth. And it's tough, it really is. It's 448 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: you feel for people. But in the end, they still 449 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: got to be safe, and they've still got to have good, solid, 450 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: practical information. And maybe the point of this also is, 451 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: you know, before you spend money on doing something cheap, 452 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: consider what would it take to go and do it 453 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 1: right and spend a little more money and perhaps get 454 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: longer life out of something and not look not look 455 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: for the short game, but go for the long game. 456 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: If you can't you know. Lately, I've I've tried to 457 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,120 Speaker 1: take a look at the world around me and what's 458 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: going on and and the way things are working out. 459 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: And you know, I guess I've become an elder now 460 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I became the old man, you know, 461 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: and no wise cracks tomb. And you know, you've always 462 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 1: got to try and give out good advice. And and 463 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: you know, if I was trying to explain to a 464 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: younger generation about how do you take care of a car, 465 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: You've got to look at the whole picture. You've got 466 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: to look and you've got to you've got to think 467 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 1: for that day, and you've got to think for the week, 468 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: and you've got to think for the month in the year, 469 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: and you know, where do you want to be? And 470 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: you know how much car can you afford? And how 471 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: much car do you want to afford? Because unfortunately cars 472 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,919 Speaker 1: are becoming the ability to afford a car and to 473 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: repair and maintain it is fast outgrowing are projected incomes, 474 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 1: and you know you'll find yourself in a tough spot. 475 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: So rather than drive around down ball tires and a 476 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: wing and a prayer, as Mom would say, um, you 477 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 1: want to do everything you can to keep yourself safe. 478 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: So but we got Mary squared away, we got rid 479 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 1: of her tick noise. She understands about tires, and I 480 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: pointed out, you know that buying cheap tires like the 481 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: ones she got from Indonesia just doesn't pay and um, 482 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: you know, not the best in the world. And you know, 483 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 1: the other thing I want to just mention too, is 484 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: a lot of people are bringing their own tires into 485 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: the shop, haking your mountain balance these tires for me, 486 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 1: and a lot of these tires are from Thailand and Indonesian. 487 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 1: You know, there's a huge liability factor there. Uh, you know, 488 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 1: never mind the old conversation we could have about you 489 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: don't bring your eggs to the diner and say here, 490 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,439 Speaker 1: scramble them. But you know it's also about you know, 491 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: safety tires are. And I worry, you know what. I know, 492 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: I'm trying to do the right thing where I won't 493 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 1: balance what I consider to be a poor quality component 494 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,679 Speaker 1: of poor quality tire. But I always worried about that 495 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 1: car next to me. I wonder about the tires that 496 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: are on it, just because I'm trying to do the 497 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 1: right thing. Does the other person do the right thing, 498 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 1: and usually the answer is no. Um so. But that's 499 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: just just my little love boats and comments. So if 500 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: you've got comments about I'd love to hear from zero 501 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,719 Speaker 1: nine zero zero, shoot me an email Ron at Card 502 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,439 Speaker 1: Doctor show dot com. Let me pull over and take 503 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 1: a pause. We'll be back right after this. Don't go away. 504 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: Welcome back. Ron named the Card Doctor. Eight five zero 505 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: zero is the phone number. Let's get over to Dave 506 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 1: and Iowa. David, you're out with the car doctor. What's 507 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 1: going on? He Ron? I've got a two thousand five 508 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 1: Jeep Liberty that I've had since new and the tire 509 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: light has been on for a long time and as 510 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: it also has a message and says check TPM system. 511 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: So this started when I replaced there's a little piece 512 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: of plastic that connects kind of the lock cylinder to 513 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 1: the ignissition switch and I replaced that and ever since then, 514 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: I've had this problem. And I did some research and 515 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 1: there's some module in there they called a scream module. 516 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 1: I can't find any information on it or what to 517 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 1: do with it. That's the security that's the security module. 518 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: They're talking about a skim so, um so, what did 519 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,399 Speaker 1: you do? So far to diagnosed or repair this anything, 520 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 1: you should be able to. You know, if you have 521 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,640 Speaker 1: a scan tool that you know, and you would need 522 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 1: something manufacturer specific that will do more than just O 523 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 1: B D two. This is not an O b D 524 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: two scan. You know, if you ever hear me talking 525 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 1: about the difference in in scan tools, how some will 526 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: access O B D two information which is strictly emissions related, 527 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 1: versus manufacturer information which is the entire vehicle. This is 528 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: the exact scenario, so you know, Okay, yeah, I tried 529 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: with my O B D and I had all the 530 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: censers replaced when I put on tires. And the interesting 531 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: thing is that ever since this happened, like it has 532 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: a display that shows the tire pressure, and they will 533 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: come and go like they'll be there, they'll disappear, they'll 534 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: be there, they'll disappear. It's random. You know. When they 535 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 1: when they replaced your sin serves, did they program No, 536 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: they said that the O E M sensors, you just 537 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: go drive the car thirty miles for twenty minutes and 538 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 1: it's supposed to learn it. It'll learn position. I don't 539 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: know that it's going to learn serial numbers, not No. 540 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 1: Five and I've I've got to say that I've never 541 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: seen I've let me think about this question before I 542 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: answer it that way. Yeah, I've never seen where you 543 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: always have to program a serial number. Here's what you 544 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: have to here's what you have to think about with 545 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: tire pressure. Okay, if we have two identical oh five 546 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 1: jeep Liberties sitting side by side of the traffic light, right, 547 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: how do you know you know? How does how does 548 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: the jeep on the left not read the jeep on 549 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: the right? Tire pressure sensors and vice versa, because each sensor, 550 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: each sensor has to have a unique identifier code. All right, 551 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: So maybe the jeep on the left goes one to 552 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: three four and the jeep on the right is a 553 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: B C D. Alright, If they're both one, two, three four, 554 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: If it doesn't matter, and it can read anything, and 555 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: they're on the same frequency or broadcast channel, you know 556 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: it's going to be very confused. So every vehicle on 557 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: the road, every tire pressure sensor has a unique identify 558 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: or serial number. That's one. Yes, they're right in the 559 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: sense that if you rotate tires, depending upon the vehicle, 560 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: if you rotate tires, some vehicles will know that you 561 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: took the left front and made at the right rear. 562 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 1: Not all all right, but when they do sensors, So 563 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: the easiest thing to do we use the system in 564 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: the shop that if we take your sensor and the 565 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: serial number is abc D one two three four, we 566 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: will clone that sensor. If we can still read that 567 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: sensor but the battery has gone bad, we will clone 568 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: that sensor, put that sensor back into the left front. 569 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: The car computer doesn't know the difference, right, It still 570 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 1: thinks ABC abc D one two three four still there. 571 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: It still sees the same serial number, and then it 572 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: will report tire pressure and so on. So that that's 573 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 1: got to be programmed. That's number one the skim or scheme, 574 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: depending upon which version jeep you've got. Um, there's a 575 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: fault in there, and it's got to be it's gotta 576 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: be access for fault codes, and then you can go 577 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: backwards and tracing. I think it happens. Yeah, I think 578 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: it happened. When I unplugged that scheme to get it 579 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 1: the thing behind it and plugged it back in. It's 580 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 1: never been right ever since. Right, you may have said 581 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: a fault code thinking because when you unplugged it the 582 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: jump plug it with the key on. Was the car hot? No, 583 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: because if you do that with the if you did 584 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: that somehow with the key on or the circuits energized, 585 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: it would think it's a theft event and it could 586 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 1: possibly set a full Yeah. So if I get uh 587 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: you said O E M specific scan tool, I can 588 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: reset that so you know when we right, when we well, 589 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: and it's easy to find you going up.
