1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Ron Andanian hit the push button was a push button

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: start vehicle, and then went click click click, And you

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 1: say to yourself, g that's a bad battery. But can

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: you prove it and do emorrow? The car Doctor. You

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: know what, this may be the first mechanical repair other

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: than breaks tires, et cetera. Isn't that great? Hasn't needed?

7
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: That's these cars are just getting better, men, they really are.

8
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: Welcome to the radio home of Ron Andanian, the Car Doctor,

9
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: since this is where car owners the world overturned to

10
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: for their definitive opinion on automotive repair. If your mechanics

11
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: giving you a busy signal, pick up the phone and

12
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: call in. The garage doors are open, but I am

13
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 1: here to take your calls at eight five five five

14
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: six and now running. Hey, thanks stopping by the garage today.

15
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: Let's sell kicked the garage doors wide open and get

16
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: started right away. Let's go over and talk to Aggie

17
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: and Florida oh three Lincoln Town car and see what's

18
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: going on here. Aggie. Welcome to the Car Doctor. How

19
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: can I help? Thank you for taking my call. You're

20
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: welcome on the front door driver side. I took the

21
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: panel off to fix the handle, okay, and everything was

22
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: working prior to then I put it back together. The

23
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: only thing that was working after that was the power windows,

24
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: not the seats, the mirrors, the trunk button. The trunk

25
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't open. I took it off again to check if

26
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: I missed the connector, but all the connections seemed tight.

27
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: Put it back nothing, just the power windows. Did you

28
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: disconnect the driver's door switch from the harness when you

29
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: pulled the panel off or did you just work around?

30
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: Did you leave it connected? No? No, I unhooked all

31
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: connect Okay, UM, silly question, but I've seen this before.

32
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: You sure you've got the connectors back on the right

33
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: location on the switch itself. I double checked, um, I

34
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: looked at it. If I could possibly put him back

35
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: in the locally, it looked like a little different on

36
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,839
Speaker 1: each check. They they should be. But I've seen if

37
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: with with a little lack of looking and doesn't I'm

38
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: trying to think of a delicate way to say its hoggy.

39
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: But you know, with a little lack of looking and um,

40
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: some persistence, you could actually do it wrong. I've I've

41
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: seen it before. I'm not saying it's common. I'm not

42
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 1: saying it's easy, but I have seen it. Short of that,

43
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: I would treat it as if everything is connected properly

44
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: and you've verified that, then I would tell you if

45
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: somebody's got to go through powers and grounds, do you

46
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: have power this to the at least start with the doorlocks.

47
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: Do you have power to the doorlocks? I believe it's

48
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: fuse twenty nine and the junction box behind the left

49
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: side of the dash, you know, is the fuse good?

50
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: Could you have touched something and caused the fuse failure

51
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: and doesn't check that fuse. I did pull that fuse

52
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: out and checked it, and it was weird. I pulled

53
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: it out. When I put it back the light went

54
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: on the door and then then it then it went

55
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: off again. Was the fuse blown? No, if you pull

56
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: the fuse out again, will the like go back on

57
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: and off? Yes? I pulled it out and put it

58
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: back in. It went on and it shut it up,

59
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: but it wouldn't go on again. It was crazy. Okay, well,

60
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: I've got to think that's telling me that you've got

61
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: something wiring wise inside the door disconnected. Something in the

62
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: door is connected wrong. Now short of that, all right,

63
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: Short of that, just because what if you always got

64
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: to play. What if when you're fixing cars, what if

65
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: it was your turn when you opened the door. The

66
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: wiring in the door pillar, you know, where the wires

67
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: come out between the body and the door itself. That

68
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: that that that package of wiring there as you know,

69
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: over over time as the door opens and closes all

70
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: these years, it's seventeen years old, those wires can break.

71
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: And you know, especially if you've had the door panel off,

72
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: if you tugged on the harness in any way without

73
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 1: realizing it, and you know, did you break any of

74
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: the wiring in that in the door pillar itself, and

75
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 1: that's causing the circuits not to respond. I don't believe so,

76
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: because the covering on that, that rubber covering, that's not well,

77
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: that has nothing to do with it. I've had it, Olga,

78
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: I've I've had it where I've I usually have to

79
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: split that boot open. I will, I will, I will

80
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: slice that boot neat and clean with a razor blade

81
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: on an older vehicle, just because I can't get a

82
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: replacement boot. And then I have a silicone waterproof tape

83
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: that I will, you know, tape around the boot and

84
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: it kind of melts into the folds of the rubber

85
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: and provides a permanent seal. So don't don't take that

86
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: the boot is intact as a saw. Mind that you

87
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: know the wiring isn't broken underneath the way I would

88
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: question it is. I would get a vaultmeter, get a

89
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: wiring diagram, go to each individual component you're trying to diagnose,

90
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: Like in the case of the power door locks. I

91
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: know it's a black white wire that leads up to

92
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: the switch. I would I would go up to that

93
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: black white Is it hot at the at the switch itself?

94
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: And then do you have ground at the switch? Did

95
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: you lose grounds for some reason? Um, don't look, you

96
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: know it's it's It's nice and easy to say, Hey,

97
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: I want to make sure it's just one thing that

98
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: caused the entire problem, and I guess that's you know,

99
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: we always hope for the best, right, but don't don't

100
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: rule out you don't have more than one thing wrong,

101
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,559
Speaker 1: especially if everything was really working prior to you taking

102
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: it apart. You know, well, listen, you know you don't know.

103
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: I had a I talked about it last hour. I

104
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: had a customer this week. I haven't seen her in

105
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: a while, the cooling fan on her Mustang broke and

106
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: she didn't realize it, but all summer long she didn't

107
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: have low speed cooling fan. The low speed portion didn't work.

108
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: When the high speed came on, it sounded like an

109
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: animal was trapped underneath the wheels. It was screeching so bad.

110
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: So you know, there's no rule that the fines or

111
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: says one problem, one vehicle at a time. I've I've

112
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: seen multiple things happen on more than one occasion, and

113
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: you know you've got to, you know, break that vehicle down.

114
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,799
Speaker 1: If you're gonna take the power doorlock circuit out by itself,

115
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: how would you fix it if you took it out

116
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: and put it on the bench. What would you want

117
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: to make sure? Power? Ground switch actuators break it down

118
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: on the car? You know? Do you have power to

119
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: the switch? Yes? Or no? You do? Why doesn't it work?

120
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: You know? Is it going to the right switch? Is

121
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 1: it on the right pin? Do you have ground? Okay?

122
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: And then work We're working out from there, one step

123
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 1: at a time. Those four connectors that go to the

124
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: piece on the arm risk they're they're color coded. Is

125
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: there I don't have anything on it. I try to

126
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: look it up to see what the sequence was on

127
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: the but I couldn't know what I don't I've never

128
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: seen it that way. What will happen is what I'll

129
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: do is I'll verify. I do two things. I verify

130
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: that the colored wire is going to the right component.

131
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: So I'll go to the door like, I'll go to

132
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: the doorlock switch and pin it out. I'll look and

133
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: I'll see, you know, there's there's typically four wires on

134
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: it or five wires. You know, do I have do

135
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: I have black? Do I have the pink like green?

136
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: Do I have the light, green, violet? Whatever the colors are?

137
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: And you know, is that what's coming to the switch. Yes, okay,

138
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: then that's the switch. This is the wiring connector for

139
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: the switch, and then so on. Then work my way backwards.

140
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: The other way is or the other thing to do

141
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: is sometimes I'm not saying every time, but sometimes those

142
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: connectors are notched so that you can't put them on wrong.

143
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: Somehow we find a way. Uh you know, listen, you

144
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: gotta remember the average the the average guy on the

145
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: assembly line has under two minutes to put his component together.

146
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: So it's it's got to be done quickly. It's got

147
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: to be done a efficiently as the cars moving. So

148
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: you know, bang, put the connector on bank, put the

149
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: connector on bank, put the connector on and they did

150
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: thousands of them and it was right. There's got to

151
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: be an easy way to do it. There's you know,

152
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: there's got to be some kind of identification to have there.

153
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: So but look at look at the wire colors per switch.

154
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: You're gonna need a wiring diagram, which you should have

155
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: anyway at this point, and take it through from there,

156
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: and then I'll do what you said, check the the hotline,

157
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: make sure the juice coming through right and right. And

158
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: what you could do is you could put your meter

159
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: on the hot leg of the doorlock circuit and find

160
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: the ground leg of the doorlock circuit and use that

161
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: for your ground. That way, you're checking to see, you know,

162
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: do you have power and ground at the same time.

163
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: If you don't find an alternate ground, if you still

164
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: have no power, then you know it's power. If you

165
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: do have power, then then it's ground. And the reason

166
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: I say it like that, don't assume just because you

167
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: have power for a circuit, we need two things to work, right,

168
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: We need a power, we need a ground side. We

169
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 1: want to check both and you can do it the

170
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: other way around two. But I'm just saying you want

171
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: to make sure that you have power and ground. Don't

172
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: fall into the trap Levell. I had power, I moved

173
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: on and then find out the ground wire is broken

174
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: somewhere as well. Do all those things. If you need more, Augie,

175
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: I'm here. Give us a shout back at eight zero

176
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: zero round eating the car Doctor at yours and everybody

177
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: else's service. I'll be back right after this time. Right

178
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: it on the wall, so you don't forget to call

179
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: for a car advice. Done right? Eight five five five

180
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: zero nine zero zero. Now back to Rob. Hey, let's

181
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: get over to Robin, Tennessee Explorer. Rob. Welcome to the

182
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: car Doctor. How can I help? Yes? Uh, the seal

183
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: age probably about a year ago. When I would, you know,

184
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: feel the tank completely, it would only indicate like a

185
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: three fourth full. And then once I use the fourth

186
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: of the tank, then it's you know, aquidator that it's

187
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: been progressively getting worse and now it's maybe like two thirds.

188
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 1: It indicates like two thirds fool when I feel it

189
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: all the way up. But once it burns out one

190
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: third of the tank, then it's accurate. SMA gets progressively

191
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: getting worse, but it's it's accurate to the you know,

192
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: the local there right when it gets when it gets

193
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: on the other side of the scale. So this is

194
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: a sliding resistance you know, sending unit like so many

195
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: when when you're you know, at empty, it reads about

196
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: twenty two moments and when it's full it reads a

197
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: hundred and forty five. If we're going to do a

198
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: resistance check, but what you could do is you could

199
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: disconnect the fuel pumps uh and sending you a connector

200
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: and there's gonna be a yellow white wire and a

201
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: black yellow all right, you want to check the resistance

202
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: between those two. If the tank is closer to empty,

203
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: it should read down low, you know it's if it's downlow,

204
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: it should read anywhere in fifteen to thirty ohms. If

205
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: the tanks filled to the brim, that reading is probably

206
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: going to be over closer to the one six mark um,

207
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: you know. So if we if we look at it

208
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: at the high end, if you want to, you know,

209
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: fill it up because that seems to be where you're

210
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 1: having the problem, and then go do the reading that

211
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: would make that would make sense. You want reading and

212
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: still reading one sixt read let's selly what one or something? Yeah,

213
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: if you're seeing when it's when it's full, it's reading half.

214
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: Let's say, um, you know where where where is it

215
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: when it's when the tank is full? Where does it

216
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: read half gage? A little over half gage? Right? Yeah?

217
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: Right now it's slightly over half. Yeah, but it's but

218
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: it's but it's accurate from that point right. My My

219
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 1: guess is it'll read it'll read seventy five you know,

220
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: sms when you're when you're at that halfway point, and

221
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: then it'll it'll progressively go down and read correctly. Um,

222
00:11:55,559 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: that's common. Yeah, it's it's more common for sending units

223
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: and stuck floats. Uh, you know, things like that to occur,

224
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: gauge clusters themselves. I mean it happens, not as common.

225
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 1: I would start with testing descending unit and then if

226
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: you're lucky enough or you can find the potentialometer on

227
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: eBay and you want to buy a potentiometer set at

228
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: the twenty two homes, hook it up to the circuit.

229
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: Gage should read zero, said it A D forty five

230
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: gage should read full set it to eight oms. It

231
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: should read somewhere in the middle. If if, if, if

232
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: you can prove that the wiring is good, the circuits good,

233
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: you know, you you know, you your you know, your

234
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: problem is not at that, and then you gotta go

235
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: the other way and lower the tank because we don't

236
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: drop tanks. When you lower the tank, there's no low

237
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: access from the inside. It has have to remove the

238
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 1: tank to get to it. Yeah, there is if you

239
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: want to get a whole saw and cut a hole

240
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: through the floor. But you know, yeah, I don't think so.

241
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: And as I as I say to Danny all the

242
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: time in the shop, we don't drop anything. We lower things,

243
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: you know. Um, And I'm willing to bet twenty years

244
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: old it's probably got a fair amount of miles on it.

245
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: You might as well just do a point. Yeah, you

246
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: might as well do a pump and ascending in it

247
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: all together and and get it over with, because it's

248
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: just it's the pain of lowering the tank is going

249
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: to be too much that at least this way, when

250
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: you're done, you're done, um, you know, and you can

251
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 1: just rest. I'll check the resistance before yeah, absolutely absolutely,

252
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: you know. And if you're looking for if you're looking

253
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,839
Speaker 1: for a decent part, make sure Gueto orilly Otto dot com.

254
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,119
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've got an Orallyoto parts near you. And uh,

255
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: you know, see what they've gotten. Uh, you know, get

256
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: yourself something from them, because then then they're a good

257
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: source for technical information. And you know, make sure you

258
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: get a fuel filter while you're down there too. You know,

259
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: we always want to do filters and pumps together, even

260
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 1: though this starts out as a sending unit. If that's

261
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: what it is, you know, kind of a problem like

262
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: does it have like a suck filter in it? It

263
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: will have it. It will have a sock on the

264
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: end of the pick up tube. But ninety eight should

265
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: still have a filter that's in this most god awful

266
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: horrible place. So why you've got everything apart, you might

267
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: as well do it once and get it over with.

268
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: And uh, you know it's it's just times it has

269
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: as it has a filter along the frame rail but

270
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: doesn't have another one inside the tank and that will

271
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: be on a and and that's and that's why you

272
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: want to that's why you want to buy the whole

273
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: pump and center together because everything will be together as

274
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: an assembly. Okay, you know, it'll just be all one piece.

275
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: Take it out, put it in, just make sure the

276
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: fuel pump and it should comes with a new rubber

277
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: row ring or a new gasket for the top, for

278
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: the lock plate. And then when you take the tank down,

279
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: before you open it up and take the tip pump out.

280
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: And you may want to do this beforehand, or just

281
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: have it on hand just in case. You know, you're

282
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: gonna take an airgun and blow the crut away from

283
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: the lock ring before you, you know, take the pump out.

284
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: You may need a new lock ring. You know, if

285
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: this was New Jersey, I'll talk about it like it's

286
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: New Jersey. If it's New Jersey, Brother, the lock ring

287
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: corroded and it's gonna crumble when we go to take

288
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: it apart, So we're gonna put a new lock ring

289
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: in it. Two. You know, this one's been in the

290
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: South and the tennesse Tennessee is a different world. You know. Yeah,

291
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what you get out of the rust

292
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: belt states. I'll never forget. You know. I've got a

293
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: seventy two Monty Carlo that spent its life in Texas,

294
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm still kind of tinkering with it,

295
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: and it was a running car, but I just like

296
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: the tinker and you know, before I put it out

297
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: on the road, and you know when I tell you,

298
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: we took the exhaust off, walked up to the exhaust

299
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: manifold nuts and bolts where the pipes, the head pipes

300
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: met the manifolds, took the nuts off like it was

301
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: just rolled off the truck. It was unbelievable. Um, just

302
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: just just absolutely crazy. You know, yeah, they really do.

303
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: It's it's a pain to get him here, and it

304
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: cost me a few bucks. But in the long run,

305
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: the lack of rust on this vehicle was staggering, you know,

306
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: to the point that the brake lines were still silver,

307
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: the nuts were analyzed gold. Everything looked like it just

308
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: came out of the show room fifty years ago. And

309
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: it's just amazing how we buy these cars up here

310
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: in the rust Belts and we just we just object

311
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: them to the winters that we subject them to. It's

312
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: just horrible, just horrible. So don't don't don't grab it

313
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: in the winter. Well, well the Monte Carlo won't be

314
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: but well although it might be a kind of if

315
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: it's if it's gonna be, what I think it is

316
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: just a nice cruiser all, I'll just enjoy it for that. So,

317
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: but that's how I would attack your explore problem, right sir. Okay,

318

Speaker 1: thank you, You're very welcome. You stay safe. Um yeah,

319
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: just you know, let's let's do some testing before we

00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: just start replacing parts, and you know, just just you know,

321
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: attack it like that. Um, speaking of attacking things and

322
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: speaking of just doing some things that makes sense and

323
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: you know, common sense. Just some quick break tips. I

324

00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: tent tips for a successful break job. And I like

327
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: what they say here because they talk about things from

328
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: a basic perspective. And I'd be willing to bet that

329
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: this press releases up on their website, Good Year Breaks

330
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,160

331
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: get the right parts from the start when you're buying breaks.

332

Speaker 1: entering the vehicles, then the serial number or your license

335
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 1: number to see what break parts you know match and

336

338
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: it's important to be safe. You know, I can't stand

339
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: these YouTube videos. I see if people with you're doing

340
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: break repair and the car is up on a log

341
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 1: a milk crate and you know, maybe you know, half

342
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: a garbage can and that's their idea of a jackstand.

343
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: I let's be safe. We've got this mass sitting above us,

344
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: all right. And I say that sort of tongue in cheek,

345
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: but I've seen some pretty stupid things on YouTube. Lubrication

346
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: when you're changing breaks, all right, this is tip number

347
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: three from the folks at Good your Brakes. You know,

348
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: when you're changing breaks, the slides have to be lubricated,

349
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: The guide pins have to be lubricated, the caliber bolts

350
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: have to be lubricated because the brake pads have to

351
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: move now. And this is a mind blower. This one

352
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: will really get you. You won't see lubrication on brake

353
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: pads from the vehicle manufacturers brand new. Do you know

354
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: why they don't lubricate breaks from a new car on

355
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: a new car? You don't come back in the car

356
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: doctor is gonna tell you why. I want they give

357
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: you the answer. You'll just it's just mind boggling. But

358
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: the answer when the car doctor returns zero zero, don't

359
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: go away on back. Right after this the car doctor

360
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: at zero nine zero zero. So if you stayed with

361
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: us during the break, I can give you the answer.

362
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: So why do new cars not have lubrication on brake pads, slides,

363
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: caliper pins and guides. The answer simple, break reece or

364
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: silicon grease gives off an aromatic and the manufacturers have

365
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: problems or so they claim that the paint will be

366
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: affected by the aromatics. And you'll actually see some car

367
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: companies where they do grease break components. They'll paint the

368
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: body separately and then marry the two halves together, the

369
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: chassis and the body on on separate assembly lines of

370
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: bringing them together later on after the assemblies have been

371
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: made together. But that's why you generally don't see lubrication

372
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 1: on break components, and you know, don't take it as

373
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: a sign that if it doesn't have it, it it doesn't

374
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: need it. It just means that that manufactured into it.

375
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: Lubricating break slides and pins the contact areas where the

376
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: pad sit so they move is very very important. Let's

377
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: get on over and talk to Rick and Vermont a

378
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: d H. Chevy Silverado, and that looks like an UPSI Rick,

379
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: this looks like an ups search explained to me what happened? Well, Uh,

380
00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: the truck from an old boy. Uh, and weren't great

381
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: one set of keys. It's a yard truck. If not,

382
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not going out plowing everybody. Um, and

383
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: because of what's going on with me, it was gonna

384
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: be a project. And uh, I have no keys, and uh,

385
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:25,479
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what happened. I'm a creature of habit.

386
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: I put keys in a certain place and stuff like,

387
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 1: well guess what? No, and uh, a few people look,

388
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: you know at the truck. I think maybe five mistakes.

389
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: Somebody took the keys. So I have a brand new

390
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: lawn ornament that my wife will kill me if it

391
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: stays there any longer. And uh, just out of curiosity,

392
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: have you looked under the bumper and the frame rails?

393
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: Just did anybody put a high to key somewhere just

394
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: as a suggestion? Oh God, you've been all through that

395
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: stupid thing the yard. Uh, you know if it's here,

396
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,199
Speaker 1: So let's assume, let's just let's assume there is no

397
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: spare key on the vehicle, but you know, I'm obligated

398
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: to mention it, right, So so you've got a couple

399
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: of you've got a couple of choices. You're either going

400
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: to have to pull the steering column because it's probably

401
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 1: had two keys. This should have had a square cut key,

402
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 1: a square head key for the ignition and a round

403
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: head key for the door. Is that does that sound right? Yeah?

404
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: So you know you and that eliminates the doors are easy.

405
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: You've just got to get a door panel off. Take

406
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: the locks cylinder to a locksmith. He could take it

407
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: apart and code it and see what the you know,

408
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: what the tumblers are, and then probably cut a key

409
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: and that will work. The problem is he's cutting a

410
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: tumbler or he's cutting key from Warren tumblers. It's an eight.

411
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 1: You know how crisp and clean is everything? And the

412
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: same could be said. You could do the same thing

413
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 1: with the ignition locks cylinder. You have to, you know,

414
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: get a steering wheel pull or you get a lock

415
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: the presser for the tilt and you know to press

416
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 1: it and pull the ignition locks cylinder out. Of course,

417
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: at that point you could just put a new lock

418
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: cylinder in which might not be the worst way to go.

419
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: You know that at least solves the ignition problem. You

420
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 1: just won't have a key for the door. The only

421
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: way you're gonna get the key for the doors to

422
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: do what I said, pull a lock cylinder. I would

423
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: probably take the passenger side if it has a not

424
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: all the trucks this generation had a lock cylinder in

425
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: the passenger side, But I would use the passenger side

426
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: lock because it's had the least amount of where right

427
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,479
Speaker 1: most more people going and out the driver's door than

428
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: the passenger door. Or if the tailgate locks, you know,

429
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: use that lock because that's they're probably all going to

430
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: be key the same. The the insanely easiest way if

431
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 1: they can do it, is the is the truck titled

432
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 1: in your name? Is it registered in your name? Oh?

433
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: My god, No, it's a it's a yard truck. It's

434
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: not going to go on the road, right, But who's who?

435
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: Whose name is the truck? In? Who? On? There? Is

436
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: there a registration? Oh? I never registered it? Now, do

437
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: you have a title that says it's yours? Do you

438
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: have something that says this vehicle, this ven is yours?

439
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: Do you have a bill of sale. Yeah, okay, because

440
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to take that bill of sale to

441
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: the dealer with the serial number, all right, and they

442
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: might be able to take the serial number, copy it

443
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: backwards and find the key codes in the file and

444
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: cut keys from that. Well what happened. I did that

445
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 1: and they couldn't do it. Yeah, they said the truck

446
00:23:53,040 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: was too old, could not come up with the codes. Um. Uh,

447
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: they were all great. I have to met a couple

448
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: of people were so fantastic, uh, you know, looking things

449
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: up for me. It was awesome, but they all came

450
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: back to the same thing. Uh. One dealer up in St.

451
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: Alban's Verma said, uh, well the key. If I have

452
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: to buy the key, that means I have to buy

453
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 1: fifty of them. Well, a four dealers talk and there

454
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: is one dealer who actually has the key, but we

455
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: need the code. There are a backwards way to find them.

456
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: Not that I'm not that, I'm not that I'm aware

457
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 1: of brother. Um, you know, the the only the only

458
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: backwards way as far as getting the door keys would

459
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: be if you took the locks cylinder, and they can

460
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: take the locks cylinder apart. But there's a good chance

461
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: that taking the locks cylinder apart means that you now

462
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: have to put every placement locks cylinder in which could

463
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 1: be coded the same, so that all three or all

464
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: too you know both the both door locks are the same. Uh,

465
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,959
Speaker 1: you know, if there's only if there's only one. How

466
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: many door locks are in this truck? Is there a

467
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: door lock on each side? Passenger side, driver's side, there's

468
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: a there's a key locks cylinder in each door? Yes? Yeah, Okay,

469
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: then then you've got to get it coded the same,

470
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 1: because getting one one to having one to not as

471
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: gets to be a pain in the butt. But yeah,

472
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 1: you could take the locks cylinder apart, but that would

473
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: only get you the coding for the door lock. That

474
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: won't get you the ignition. To get the ignition, you're

475
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: either pulling the locks cylinder. You're either gonna pull the

476
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: locks cylinder and you know, possibly have the dealer take

477
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: it apart of a locksmith. I probably use a locksmith

478
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: if you could find one. Have the locksmith take it

479
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: apart and look at the tumblers and see if they

480
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: can match a key from that, or you're going to

481
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: just purchase a new rotating lock cylinder, put it in

482
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: and you're done. Eight should not have had a chipped key.

483
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 1: I believe it's just a straight up key, so it's

484
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: cheap enough. It's just a matter of you may have

485
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 1: an anti theft relearn to do depending upon what generation

486
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 1: eight eight Silverado this is. But that's the only way

487
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: you're gonna do it. There's if the dealer can't do

488
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: it through VIN, then the key codes are just too old.

489
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: Vehicles too old, and there's just no other way to do.

490
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 1: How's thousand and thirty years old? Um? For yeah, thirty,

491
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: we're just we're thirty two years old here, so um,

492
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 1: I guess they're not obligating where they have to keep it.

493
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: So those are things you gotta go through. Rick, I

494
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: wish you had a better answer for you, but that's

495
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: the only way I know if to do it. Um,

496
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 1: you know those three steps, So good luck to you.

497
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: I hope it works out. Zero. The car doctors back

498
00:26:47,840 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 1: right after this. Hey, welcome back the car doctor. Can

499
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 1: can you help me diagnose this car? Well, let's let's

500
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,959
Speaker 1: play the game right. And I heard this story this

501
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: week and I thought of all of you and how

502
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: much you would enjoy hearing it. So raise your hand

503
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 1: when you when you know the answer. I was talking

504
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 1: to a friend of mine in his repair shop, and

505
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: he's telling me about this two thousand three Chevy S

506
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: ten pickup truck that came in from a customer that

507
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: had a complaint of stalling a check engine light on

508
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: high fuel trims and a problem that the brakes weren't

509
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: working as good as they used to. And that's all

510
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: he got told, and that's all I got told. They

511
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: went through some diagnosis, they saw high fuel trims, they

512
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: fed it some propane, they saw the fuel trims come down.

513
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 1: They went through and they looked for some of the

514
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: obvious false vacuum weeks. They couldn't find any. And after

515
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: what they thought was eliminating everything that they had eliminated,

516
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: they said it must be an intake manifold leak. And

517
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: they had just finished up the intake manifold and I

518
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: happened to call him about something else, and he's telling

519
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: me this story, and um I asked him. I said,

520
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: you know, when you were looking for the vacuum leak,

521
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 1: and I hate to be a backseat driver, when you

522
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 1: were looking for the vacuum leak, did you happen to

523
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: pull the brake line off the booster, you know, the

524
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: vacuum line off the booster and he said yeah. I said,

525
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 1: did it make a difference in fuel trim? And he

526
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: said no. I said okay, I said, did you happen

527
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: to leave the booster line hooked up and then push

528
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: on the brake pedal and see if it made a

529
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: difference in fuel trim? And he said no, I didn't

530
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: think of that. I said, okay, So I called him back,

531
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: you know, the day after that, we had to talk

532
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: about something else, and um turns out they were they

533
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: were still working on the as ten the the intake

534
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: manifold didn't repair it, and they were now looking at

535
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: fuel filter and considering maybe some oxygen sensor faults as

536
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,479
Speaker 1: to why this truck ran so lean. And you know,

537
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: I I asked him, I said, you know, talk to

538
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: me about the brakes. You know, what, what's the brake problem?

539
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: And he says, oh, it's really weird. He said, You're

540
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: driving along and you'll get to a stop sign and

541
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: everything's working really good, and then all of a sudden,

542
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: the brake pedal gets real hard, and you know, the

543
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: truck barely stops. You feel like you want to drag

544
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: your foot and then it's just about stalls and coughs

545
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: and wheezes. As I'm stepping on the brake, it's like

546
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: the idol is too low, but I can't raise the idol.

547
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: Do you see it? Whose hand is up? Mine was? I?

548
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: I saw what was going on here? I said, did

549
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: you happen to take the truck for a ride with

550
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: a scan tool? Did you look at fuel trim? And

551
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, anytime I'm anytime I'm hunting and doing any

552
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: kind of diagnostics like this, I'll take the cheapest scan

553
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: tool I've got and I'll look at you know, three

554
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: or four different pieces of information, three or four pits.

555
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to look at the whole list of

556
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: fifty year or four hundred. I want something quick. I

557
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: want to you know, I want to look at long

558
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: term fuel trim, short term fuel trim, both banks. I

559
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: want to look at calculated load. I want to look

560
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: at cool intemp. And I want to look at engine rpm.

561
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: Maybe run time, you know, but no more than six

562
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: or seven. No, nobody's taken it for a road test

563
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: because they you know, if they've road tested it. But

564
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: you know, nobody's done it with the scancel looked up

565
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: because they know it stalls. They can see it's stalls,

566
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: and it doesn't set any fault codes. Huh. I said,

567
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: you ever consider the possibility that you've got a bad

568
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: break booster? And he said, yeah, but the brakes are

569
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: good most of the time, he says, every once in

570
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: a while, the pedal gets already. Said, we can't find

571
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: any fault there either, because you know, we've taken the

572
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: brakes all apart, we've replaced some of the brakes. We've

573
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: you know, we've we've tested and checked everything. I said,

574
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: did you ever think you have a bad break booster?

575
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: I said, And maybe that's the fault of everything. That's

576
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: the fault of it all. And he said, what makes

577
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: you say that, I said, think about it. I said,

578
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: you're getting an intermittent heart break pedal. You're getting high

579
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: fuel trim. It's it's it sounds like it stalls when

580
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: you step on the break. I bet your fuel trim

581
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: is gonna be higher when you step on the brake

582
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: because it's more of a lean condition and you're creating

583
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: a bigger vacuum leak stepping on the break. You're you're

584
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: you're spreading or or you know, tearing or pulling on

585
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: the rubber, making the whole bigger, making the leak bigger.

586
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: I said, it sure seems to me like you've got

587
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: a bad break booster. They put a brake booster in it.

588
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: I forget what Testy ran. I don't think you did anything.

589
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure if I got the right answer

590
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: at this point, because he was kind of getting annoyed

591
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: with me, and uh um. He did call me back

592
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: the next day about something. I said, Hey, how's the

593
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: s ten. He goes, Oh, it's all picked up and

594
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: paid for. What was wrong with it? Oh? It it

595
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: needed a bunch of work, And yeah, we think you

596
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: were right. You know, maybe the brake problem was related

597
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: to the to the to the stall too, because we

598
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: put a break booster in it. And the trucks now fixed.

599
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: And the point becomes that sometimes diagingo us. This is

600
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: multi layered. And as I started the show telling you

601
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: about cars that had three problems one vehicle, now I'm

602
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: telling you three conditions to be created by one one

603
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: fault the bad break booster, the break booster, the diaphragm

604
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: was pours, the rubber was leaking, causing a vacuum leak

605
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: worse under load, making the vehicle stall and sometimes coming

606
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: close to but not quite stolen. But fuel trims were

607
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: high because at one point he finally drove it and

608
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,239
Speaker 1: that's what led him to the booster. Fuel trims were

609
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: higher or higher when he stepped on the brake because

610
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: of the vacuum leak that was created by by stepping

611
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: on the brake and the rubber diaphragm that was failing

612
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: on the eighteen year old Chevy S ten. So don't

613
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: rule out diagnosed and just go all the way. You

614
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: gotta be like Colombo. It's like being a detective five zero.

615
00:32:47,800 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: The car doctors coming back right after this welcome back.

616
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: We're on the end of the car doctor. No, we're

617
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: called this hour. But keep in mind eight five five

618
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: five zero nine zero zero seven phone number. You can

619
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: call the aforementioned phone number eight zero zero and leave

620
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: a message. There's a messaging service attached to it. You

621
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: don't have to be the show doesn't have to be

622
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: on in order for to use the phone number, and

623
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: Tom Ray, executive producer, will call you back and put

624
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: you in qu for the next live broadcast we begin

625
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,239
Speaker 1: out of it. I'm I'm giving you more to do.

626
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: I know, yeah, well you need more to do. No,

627
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: I don't have to work with you on Saturday. That's plenty. Well,

628
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: that's the good part. So that's why they call it

629
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: good and plenty. I'm like Candy, I'm so sweet. Oh uh,

630
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: you know what I wanted to tell everybody about Tom,

631
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: Danny's finishing up. Well, Danny's finishing up his Z and

632
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: Dane's got a seventy eight and it's it's kind of funny,

633
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: right like, we're going through the valve adjustment on a

634
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: small block Chevy and this is something I probably haven't done, geez.

635
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: The last time I did hydraulic lifters on a on

636
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 1: a cast iron small block was probably fifteen years ago.

637
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 1: And there used to be a little clip that you

638
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: would sit on the end of the rocke arm that

639
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: would deflect the oil so it wouldn't slash over the

640
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: side when you were adjusting the valves. And you know,

641
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: I can't find those clips. I know I've got them somewhere,

642
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: but between the house and the shop and multiple hot

643
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: rods and not using them in the better part of

644
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: at least fifteen years, maybe longer, you know, there's somewhere

645
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to explain to Danny what they are

646
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,760
Speaker 1: because he's never seen them. He's he's that younger generation.

647
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: They don't they don't know from adjusting valves on small

648
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: block chevies. It's not what they were brought up on.

649
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: And I started thinking about how technology is just sort

650
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: of sliding by, you know, and and the things that

651
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: the older mechanics don't do anymore, and the tools they

652
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: used to use that were their bread and utter, that

653
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: now sit aside collecting dust and just you know, waiting

654
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: for a chance to be used, but likely won't because

655
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: all that technology has gone in place of the new technology,

656
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: in place of the next newer technology. You wonder what

657
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: that next newer technology is gonna be. I'm rounding any

658
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: in the car doctor, reminding you this time until the

659
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: next time. Good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. See you
