Speaker 1: which is along the back deck. With convertible car, you

4
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,799

38
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: we had a really unusual call. Uh the gentleman I

39
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: think he was from Maine with the Camaro that was

40
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 1: condensing water and it was rusting and and my answer was,

41
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: you know, let's look at the environment. And he sort

42
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 1: of verified the possibility of environment being the cause because

43
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: he said that the um garage would water in the

44
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: would build up in a surface of his toolbox and

45
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: it would rust over time. And you know, either either

46
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: that car was a water magnet. No no, no, puntent

47
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: ha ha. But or it's a yeah, I'm here all day, folks,

48
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: or it's it's you know, it is environment, and you

49
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: have to look at environment. You have to look at

50
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: how is that vehicle being stored. I thought of it

51
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: this week when Tommy brought me his jeep Grand Cherokee.

52
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: I've known tom and Sherry, they live in town, and

53
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: I've been working on their car us for I mean,

54
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: Gee's thirty five years, and I can I can remember

55
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: all their cars there eight five Ford Crown vic Wagon

56
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: sky Blue, they're nineties seven, Dodge Grand Caravan. There was

57
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: one in between, I think, but it was very short

58
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: lived because one of the kids took it out west

59
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: and it was never seen or heard from again. And

60
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: their current cars there there Dodge Grand Caravan and Tommy's

61
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 1: twelve jeep Grand Cherokee. The Grand Cherokee was in for service,

62
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: sixty mile service. And when I tell you, Tommy keeps

63
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: a clean car, Tommy keeps a clean car. Tommy prides

64
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: himself on really, you know, everything is spitting polish and uh,

65
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: you know, everything's in its place. He's a he was

66
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: an h v a C technician for a local hospital,

67
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: so he's very meticulous and you know, put the tools

68
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: away and everything has its place with Tommy. And you

69
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: can see it in the way that he takes care

70
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: of his vehicles. If you're in Tom's car and working

71
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: on it one day and it rains and you're put

72
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: in the rainstorm on a road test, I mean, the

73
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: water just instantly beads up on the hood because it's

74
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: everything's waxed all the time. It's very well cared for.

75
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: So he was in for a sixty tho mile service

76
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: and it was you know, fluids and and fuel system

77
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: cleaning and the typical things you do with sixty miles

78
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: on most vehicles today. And I did the trans service

79
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: first and I noticed, you know what I said, geez am,

80
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: I crazy. But the pan on the transmission the paint

81
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: and it's the it's the nag one trans so it's

82
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: the Bends trans and in a Chrysler product, and the

83
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: paint on the pan is starting to lift at the

84
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: edge like it's getting rusty, and it's pushing the paint away.

85
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: From the steel and there's a little bit of a

86
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: rust blister. There's a very low level rust. It's it's

87
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,559
Speaker 1: beyond being a pimple. It's a rust blister that's starting

88
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: to form on the bottom of the pan. I said, geez,

89
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: you know, Chrysler all junk, right, We'll just you know,

90
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: hold your judgment. And you know, how could that be?

91
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: The belly pan on the transmission. You have to take

92
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 1: down this this this dust shield and there's four bolts

93
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: that hold it up into the cross frame to you know,

94
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: keep it in place. And all three of them, the

95
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: first three fought me tooth and nail coming out. The

96
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: fourth one snapped off clean right in the frame. And

97
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: here's a sixty thousand mile well cared for vehicle, and

98
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: you say, jeez, that just doesn't seem right. I had

99
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: to rotate the tires. When I rotated the tires. You

100
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: ever look at the end of an axle flange, a

101
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: CD drive axle. It's put on with a nut, right

102
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: that the nut goes on and it holds it in place,

103
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: and then the cotter pin goes through and you know,

104
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: and then it's covered up by the wheel. So it's

105
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: it's kind of protected. So I took the wheels down

106
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: to rotate the tires and I just couldn't help but

107
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: notice that there's this blob of rust where there had

108
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: been a nut. I called Tom up. I said, you

109
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: gotta come down and see this. I said, I don't

110
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: get this. It's and we started talking and the Ford

111
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: came up and I said to him, I said, you know,

112
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, Tom, you know, throughout the Ford's

113
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: life we were kind of plagued by rust, but not

114
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: nearly as bad as this. And I said, why does

115
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: in my mind seem to think that rust is a

116
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: problem for you? And he thought about it and he said,

117
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: you know you're right. He goes the past five cars

118
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: I've had over the last because Tommy keeps his cars

119
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: over the last twenty five years, they've they've all kind

120
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: of had excessive rust problems, he said, except for that,

121
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: and I forget what he said. It was the one

122
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: before the before the dodge, because that one went west

123
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: right away with one of the kids, so it seemed

124
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: to have escaped. And I said, this is an environment thing.

125
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: I just keep coming back to environment. I said, Tom,

126
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: you don't have a garage day. He says no, And

127
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: I said, any other cars in the neighborhood really rushed

128
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: out as fast as yours? And he said not really,

129
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: he said, but I don't really talk to anybody, and

130
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: I'm kind of parked off by the side. He's the

131
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: end of the street. He's the last driveway, and you know,

132
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: you have to see the neighborhood, but he's kind of

133
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: the last driveway, and then you know, it's the dead

134
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: end street, and then there's railroad tracks, and then there's

135
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: some freight yards on the other side of the railroad tracks.

136
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: And we're talking about it, and Tom looks at me

137
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: and he says, of course, there is the salt pile.

138
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: The salt pile. I went, you know, you're right at

139
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: the end of the tracks, at the end of the street,

140
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: on the other side of the street, on the other

141
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: side of the tracks, there's a salt pile that used

142
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: to be the DPW salt mine. And you know, now

143
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: it's something else, and they're they're getting rid of it

144
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: slowly because the problem is it rots the railroad tracks.

145
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: And you know, but when I say it's it's it's

146
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: probably good. It's it's gotta be. It has to be

147
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: four football lanes. It has to be four yards away. Easy,

148
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: it's it's it's four or five houses that with the

149
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: four railroad tracks the other side of the parking lot

150
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: the other side, so that's gotta be a bit you

151
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: at six yards away. And then it's it's shrouded by

152
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: a protective fence that they seem to have to replace

153
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: every couple of years because it rots away. Um, they

154
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: haven't found anything yet that will hold up to it.

155
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: And I thought about our car up in Maine, and

156
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: you know, you think about the corrosive effects of environment,

157
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 1: and you don't realize, you know, Tommy just took it

158
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 1: for granted all these years. But we we kind of

159
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: put two and two together and said, you know, look

160
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: at it, five cars in a row, except for the

161
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: one that got away because it moved west. And it's

162
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: not it's not so much the car, it's it's the

163
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: environment that it's in. And it just goes to show

164
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: you how important and how big a role environment plays.

165
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: Tommy never knows goes goes on that side of the tracks.

166
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: He's gotten a reason to be over there. But the

167
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: wind in bad weather and rain and everything, and the

168
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 1: wind come whipping down the street and just carries it

169
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: over and over time, you know, once again proving my

170
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: theory that buying a new car means you just turned

171
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: the right the throat away one piece at a time.

172
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: But um, you know, so just just food for thought.

173
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: Look at the environment, look about and you know, maybe

174
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: you gotta think about getting a garage. Maybe you know,

175
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: a big garage so you can store extra stuff, like

176
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 1: extra cars. But I just want to pass that along.

177
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: That's what this radio show is, right, we talked about cars,

178
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: and uh, we solve problems, but I just wanted to

179
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: let you know, I really think it's environment. I think

180
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna be environment. With that that camera open main,

181
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see what happens when that fellow moves

182
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: the car. If he moves the car out, does it

183
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: still continue to rus? Because I know of no reason,

184
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: no way, no how that a car can be a

185
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: water magnet like that. So anyway, food for thought. We'll

186
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: return right after this. We'll open up the garage doors

187
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: and start taking calls. Zero nine zero zero. I'm running

188
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: any in the car, doctor, don't go away time right

189
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: it on the wall, so you don't forget to call

190
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: for car advice done right eight five five five zero

191
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 1: nine nine zero zero. Now back to raw from the

192
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: Great State of Kansas, home of Dwight Eisenhower. Yosef with

193
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: an oh five Honda Odyssee. How are you today, Yosef?

194
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: How canna help? Uh? Well, we're flooded. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Yeah,

195
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: the floods throughout the Midwest part of the of the

196
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: country are tough this year. Right, look at where that Iowa,

197
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: ioways I was taking a beat. Yep, yeah, Kansas and

198
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: pretty much everywhere. Yeah, so well not in New Jersey.

199
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: I can tell you that we're fortunate. Um, of course

200
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: we'll probably have the drought and we'll be buying water

201
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: from you guys. So um yeah, we'll see. What can

202
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: I do for you today? Well, I have a couple

203
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: of questions for you. On the Honda Odyssey that I've got, Well,

204
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: it's my dad's but I uh noticed this the other day.

205
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: But as I was getting into the driver's side sliding door,

206
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: it was hard to open, like the the door would

207
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: open part way and then it would go back closed

208
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: like it was power assisted. But then when I go

209
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 1: to try and open it again, it would keep doing it.

210
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: Like something was caught in the mechanism to open up

211
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: the door. And and then when I went to try

212
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: it on the passenger side, the passenger side door lock

213
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: was making like a funny buzzing sound for the sliding

214
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: door or for the passenger side front door. Passengers side,

215
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: uh front door? The door lock? Is that normal? Or

216
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: do we've got issues? No, it sounds like you've got

217
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: you've got it. Sounds like you've got two separate things

218
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: going on. But I would tell you to fix the

219
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: slider first, on the chance that something's commanding the slider

220
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: and affecting the passenger front. But to be affecting the

221
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: passenger front in theory, the way those cars are wired,

222
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: it should be affecting the driver's front too. If the

223
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: command is being given, well, the command the driver's store.

224
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: I mean, we have to manually unlock it. Didn't lock

225
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: it ourselves because the key, because the actuator is broken,

226
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 1: I think. So, so let's do this. If you were

227
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: to disconnect the battery and I'm talking a little esoteric

228
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 1: lee here, if you were to take power away from

229
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: the vehicle and open that slider, is it still bound up?

230
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: Does it still feel like it's binding or does it

231
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 1: open normal. Uh, we've tried. There's like a switch on

232
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: the driver's side turn it off. Yeah, we've tried that,

233
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: and it seems like it's still binding. Okay, So let's

234
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: make an assumption, which is a bad word, but we'll

235
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: start here, that we've got a mechanical failure of the

236
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: sliding door mechanism. All right, if you look, if you

237
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 1: look at the side of the car, there's that, there's

238
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: there's the track that the back of the door rides in,

239
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: and there's a plastic panel that's above that. That's the

240
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: that's the body trim. You can actually take that whole

241
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 1: panel off and get to the track mechanism itself, just

242
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: just just to watch it. But what typically happens here

243
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: if there's nothing jammed up in that roller and sometimes

244
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: you have to look to see if there's schmutz which

245
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: is a technical term, jammed up in that roller on

246
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 1: the back half of the track or in the bottom

247
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: of the track where the door opens down where your

248
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: feet go in. Just to make sure there's no debris, obstructions, cups, kids, toys,

249
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: jelly beans, I mean, you name it. I've seen everything

250
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: crammed in there as as long as both ends of

251
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: that are clean. The next place you have to stop

252
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: to consider is look at and if you study the

253
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: door carefully, you'll see there's a cable that connects to

254
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: the front of the door and the back of the door.

255
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: It basically comes out the front of the door, goes

256
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: down the whole left side of the car, depending on

257
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: which side the door is on, and then feeds into

258
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: a a trolley assembly tucked behind the wheel well inside

259
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: the body, and then a cable comes out the other side.

260
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: So and it's a push me pull you deal. So

261
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: as the cable gets shorter here at lengthens the other way.

262
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: So the motor pulls on the cable that pulls the

263
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: door open it it extends it the other way to

264
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: and then it wants to close, it pulls on the

265
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: opposite side and retracts the other. So that's that's how

266
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: they power the door open and closed. I have seen

267
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: I have seen more than a few of those mechanisms

268
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: fail over time, especially on a higher mileage. And when

269
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: you take one, I think there's a hundred six six

270
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: You know you've got to you've got to stop and

271
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: think about, you know, how many miles around and how

272
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: many times that door has been open. And when you

273
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: see this, you'll have to take apart the interior trim panels.

274
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: You're you're gonna you're you're gonna say to yourself because

275
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: they have made this any cheaper, because it's all plastic

276
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: and metal cable. It's just just a terrible design. Uh, Honda, Now,

277
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: Honda doesn't make mistakes. Come on, so you know, Honda

278
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: is one of the most perfect car companies there is. Um,

279
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: they never make mistakes. Brother, So but that's that's where

280
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: I would chase that. Now, as far as the lock actuators, UM,

281
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: I'd have to tell you. I'd like to see, you know,

282
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: find that actuator. Take the door panel, I'll find that actuator.

283
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: It's part of the latch assembly for the door. And

284
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: you know, put a voltmeter, unplug it and put a

285
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: voultmeter across it. Do you see it being activated or

286
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: do you see that it's it's only activated when you

287
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: put the switch on, you know, opener, you know, locker unlock. Uh.

288
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: What we're trying to find out here is and I've

289
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: seen this where the the actuator itself, which is part

290
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: of the door latch as I've said, it starts to

291
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: go bad and they chatter. They can't push it all

292
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: the way to the open or can't pull it all

293
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: the way back to the closed or locked position, so

294
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: it chatters. It It sort of dinners in between. It's

295
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: just it's just lost. Um, you'll you'll end up probably

296
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: putting a latch assembly. I don't believe they make the

297
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: the the opener available separate, but just be wary of

298
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: what you buy. After market parts get to be they

299
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: get to be a little cheesy. I'd probably still go

300
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: with an Obi Honda part or some such equivalent. I

301
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: do have one more question for you, sure real quick,

302
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: Um with the Honda Odyssey. UM, I did notice we

303
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: did have a check engine light come on UH a

304
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: couple of days ago, and we did run a onboard

305
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: diagnostic on it and it came up with like a

306
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: wiring harness fault or something like that in the engine.

307
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: I'm trying to work exactly. It depends on what number

308
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: what number four code you had, Joseph. Um, Yeah, you know,

309
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: depending upon what it is. Otherwise I'd have to extrapulate

310
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: out eighteen hundred possible reasons on what they are. So

311
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: if you think of it, and uh, you get the

312
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: you get the full code, you remember what it is.

313
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: Shoot me an email Ron at Car Doctor Show dot

314
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: com and I'll be glad to give you an answer

315
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: that way. Um, but take a look at those other things,

316
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: and here a scantil would really help. Even just doping

317
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: out a sliding door. There's a lot you can look

318
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: at with it, and you may want to try and

319
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: do that as well. I'm run any of the Car Doctor.

320
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: We're back right after this. Welcome back. We're on name

321
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: of the Car Doctor. Five zero zero zero. Let's get

322
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: over and talk to Let's go talk to Peter in Connecticut,

323
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: Oh seven on to CRV Peter. Welcome to the Car Doctor. Sir.

324
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 1: How can I help? All right? Ron, great back, Yeah, yes,

325
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: thank you. I have a gremlin in my air conditioner

326
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: system and heating system on this CRV UM. I'll go

327
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: through all the symptoms. So one day in February, I

328
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: think it's nask. It's kind of cold in the morning,

329
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: as you know, and the heat the cabin just didn't

330
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 1: heat up enough and the hair the air was coming

331
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: out long enough. But I figured out that the sand

332
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: just wasn't blown up high and it would blow on

333
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: high when the car was just started, but then later

334
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 1: it wouldn't blow on high. So I put a new

335
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: resu strand Uh, that would be too hard to do,

336
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: and that takes some problem for about a month. On

337
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: the next problem, Um, I could hear the air to

338
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: conditioner clutch clicking on and off every two seconds on, off, on,

339
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: even though I didn't have the air on or anything.

340
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: Then eventually the air conditions stayed on all the time,

341
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: even though I didn't have any you know, Peter, was

342
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: the air conditioning in the froster? No, definitely not. Was

343
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 1: was the air conditioning in the heat position? Uh? Probably? Okay,

344
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: I probably. I tried. I tried to vent. I tried

345
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: to you know, I tried different positions. If you if

346
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: you turn the heat in the vehicle completely off, does

347
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: the compressor click off and stay off? Uh? Say it again?

348
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: If if you've got the heat off, no heat, no

349
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: way seeing nothing, no blower, no no regair, Yeah, it

350
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 1: was still click on and off. It's still clock on. Uh,

351
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure every I had everything off and it's still

352
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: click on and off. Yeah. And then even if you

353
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 1: turn the air conditioner on, it's still clock click on

354
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: and off and another symptoms like so you shut the

355
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: car off and then you turn the just to the opposition.

356
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: I can hear the fans. They the two blower fans

357
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: up front of the radiator. They were they were like

358
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: on and sometimes they're very up and down the speed. UM.

359
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 1: Because then so then the last problem now is UM,

360
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: Now the heat's on all the time, and the blower

361
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: fans which knob, which is like a variable that does nothing,

362
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: and then the temperature control of do nothings. Now they

363
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 1: have heat on all the time. So the one less

364
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: piece of evidence to tell you, UM that that unit

365
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 1: does have like a self diagnostic test if you pushed

366
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: the buttons right. So I went to all that and

367
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: I got codes six, which if I remember rights just

368
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: it's just like the blower there's something wrong with the

369
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: blower circuit tree and and the way that system works.

370
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: The next code would have an internal fault of the

371
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 1: heat control assembly, but it won't tell you that because

372
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: coach sixes in front of it. So I'm I'm just

373
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: wondering what it could be that control assembly here to

374
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: control somebody in the cars like five hundred dollars. Well

375
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: before I before I went and do that, I'd start,

376
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: I'd be real curious you have access to a scan tool? No,

377
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: you know, because just one? Yeah, and that won't that

378
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: won't give you, That won't give you what you need. Um,

379
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: I'd be curious. Do you have the old blower resistor?

380
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: You know what? I kept it for a month and

381
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: then the day I threw it away when they started

382
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 1: acting up again? What brand blower resisted? Jubai? I think

383
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 1: I think I got on Amazon. I think it's a

384
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: handad though, be sure. I'm not sure. I can't. I

385
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: just probably wasn't. Yeah, it's you know, be sure because

386
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: even if even if it came out of a hand

387
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: the box doesn't mean it's a hand the piece because

388
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: we see a lot of counterfeit parts upon Amazon and

389
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: everything online, so you know, you really have to question it.

390
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: And that's an issue. UM. I give the deal of

391
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,239
Speaker 1: credit for a lot of things. And one is at

392
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: least you know they're they're they're sourcing. They've got to

393
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: go through such strict channels that I have. I'm very

394
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: confident when I buy a Honda part from the Honda dealer,

395
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 1: it's a Honda part. Um, And I'm wondering you know

396
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: what sort of input that would have. I wonder what

397
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: would happen if you unplug that blower resistor? Would any

398
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: of the other symptoms change or alter the way it's

399
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: you know, just just you have no blower. But what

400
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: else would it affect? Uh that, you know, because it

401
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 1: sure seems kind of strange that you had a simple

402
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: lack of blower response and then all of a sudden

403
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: a month later it developed this secondary problem. I have

404
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: seen a few control head issues, but understand what you're

405
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: what you're looking out from the outside in You're you're

406
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: seeing the tip of the iceberg. That control head is

407
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 1: part of a communications network, and you'd have to be

408
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: able to you know, pin out power ground signal. You'd

409
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: have to look at it on a scan tool. If

410
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: you push the on off button, does the scan tool recorded,

411
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: If you push an A C request doesn't record. In

412
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: other words, you can measure correct response off of that

413
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: visa via scanner and and there's other things you can do.

414
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: But you know, I would want to see that response

415
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: is as one of my primary tests now, and you know,

416
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: we'll we'll eliminate some of the other things that everybody's

417
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: gonna talk about. The a C compressor clutch relay on

418
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: that generation Honda. They should actually when they sell you

419
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: the car, they should tape one to the inside of

420
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: the glove box and tell you to put it in

421
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: when the car has got sixty or seventy thousand miles

422
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: on it and it's seven or eight years old, because

423
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: like the sun is gonna come up, the relay is

424
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: gonna go bed. So there are other relays that match that.

425
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: If you look in the control center under the hood,

426
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 1: just you know, do we have do we have two

427
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: or three different problems here, you know, unrelated to each other,

428
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: which are hard to diagnose because we don't have enough

429
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: tools yet. Um. You know, if we look in the

430
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: control unit and on a CRV, I believe it's in

431
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: the relay box over on the passenger side closest to

432
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: the firewall. Um, it's gonna be in the engine compartment.

433
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 1: It's either there, it's in the batter it's in the

434
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: battle box on the left side. But all right, read

435
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: the legend, the one that says a C which in

436
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 1: Japanese will be the one with the with the ice

437
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: cubes and the fan on it. And that's how they

438
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: do it. Um, you know, if you can find another relay,

439
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: same part number for something innocuous, you know, fog lights,

440
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: um wiper motor or something like that, swamp, it doesn't

441
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 1: make any difference. Do yourself a favor, take a magic

442
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 1: marker and mark the two relays before you pull them

443
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: out of their sockets. Because I guarantee you you'll find

444
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: two relays. You'll pull them both out, and the phone's

445
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 1: gonna ring, or somebody's gonna call your name and you're

446
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 1: gonna turn your head and go, well, which one was which? Um?

447
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: Been there, been there, done that, brother, um. But you know,

448
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: those are the things I'd be thinking about that that

449
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: he's you're talking about that control head. That's an actual controller,

450
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: that's an actual computer on that vehicle. So it's it's

451
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: it's a pretty major piece. It's a pretty expensive piece.

452
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: The fact that you can put it through a self

453
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: test unless it came up with a full for internal

454
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: ROM error or internal memory error. I would tell you

455
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: the fact that it can go through self test. I

456
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't suspect it yet, I'd be I'd be looking everywhere

457
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: else and made because they call the resistor transistor type

458
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: of things NICs, Well, it can be depending upon how

459
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: it's wired. You know, I've seen resistor I've seen simple

460
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 1: fan resistor blocks for vehicles today. They're wired in as

461
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: a controller on the network and it's got to communicate

462
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: this way and take information from that way. And you know,

463
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: good in garbage out will you know, affect the rest

464
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: of the network going south and the fact that the

465
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: problem happened after that? You know, I always, I always,

466
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: I always try to look for the simple, right, all right,

467
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: So I kept that part for a month, and yeah,

468
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: I'm like to believe me. I'm like that myself. I

469
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: so um, you know, but let's let's let's try looking

470
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: at it like that perspective. And if you have to

471
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 1: look at this way, it's a reason to go buy

472
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: a better scantal, all right. All right? So if I

473
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 1: disconnect your transistor there to see what happens. If not,

474
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: I probably either you probably have to go to a dealer,

475
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: right and they can scan it, well they could scan it,

476
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: they could diagnose or you know, let me ask the

477
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 1: hard question, what'd you pay for the resistor on Amazon?

478
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 1: What'd you pay for? All right? How much? How much

479
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: is it from Honda? Probably don't don't don't deal with,

480
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: don't deal with. Probably find out because when you find

481
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: out it's two D from Honda and you paid fifty

482
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: four it on Amazon. Amazon is good, but they're not

483
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 1: that good. That's a that's a bogus part. So right,

484
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 1: all right, kiddo, all right, thank you very much. You're welcome.

485
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: You call me back and let me know what happens

486
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: if you need to. Okay, Peter, take good care. I'm

487
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: runing any and the Car Doctor. We're back right after this. Hey,

488
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: welcome back any of the Car Doctor. Sorry about that, Mikey.

489
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: I was technical problem inside the show here. So we're

490
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: doing good so far though, right, Yeah, we had a

491
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: good hour so far. Let's go and talk to Franklin

492
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: and Maui Hawaii. Look at it, we have. We have

493
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: two listeners now in Hawaii, Walter and Franklin. Franklin, welcome

494
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: to the Car Doctor, sir. How can I How are

495
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: you doing? Long time? Thank you, sir? What's going on?

496
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tune seventy six next month and I'm looking

497
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 1: for my last car? Oh come on, you know, why

498
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: don't we all think like that? No? This one I like, okay,

499
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 1: I had it when I was sixteen nineteen nine Cadillac

500
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: Asal and I was at a junkyard and they were

501
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: going to torch you. So I said, how much do

502
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: you want for it? They said sixty five dollars? So

503
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: I gave five dollars and drove the car home And

504
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: that was a lot of money back then. Oh yeah,

505
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 1: fifty five dollars was they wanted for trash because they

506
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: were going to cut it up? Sixty five dollars? What

507
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 1: year was at that probably had to be? Uh? So

508
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:31,640
Speaker 1: that was was? Was that a week's salary in let's

509
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: see what did make then? Forty dollars a week? So

510
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: that was that was that was? That was a week

511
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: and a half pay. Yeah, but it was fantastic. One

512
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: car and uh I was driving in an unopened a

513
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: freeway and the right dire fell off. It went forward

514
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: and the car didn't even tell us that we lost

515
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: the tire. Imagine that, you know, you stop fixing, you

516
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: stop and look at cars. Franklin right in the Romance

517
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: of the Automobile. Before the show today, we were listening

518
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: to an oldie station and meat Loaf Bad out of

519
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: Hell came on and we're sitting there and we're singing

520
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: it in the studio and we're all doing our work

521
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: getting ready for the show, and we're all and I

522
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: said to Tom it was it was over. And I said, now,

523
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: you know, it's such a great tune, but it's a

524
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: car tune. How many people you know can remember being

525
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: in the being in their car doing sixty six, tearing

526
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: back through some country road listening to meet Loaf scream

527
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: that at the top of his lungs, and and what

528
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: a good time that was. That's what we used to do.

529
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: But I wasn't allowed to have a radio in Chevy.

530
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: My dad said, you can't have a radio. So it

531
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: had a plate there because that was distracting. Well, I

532
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: don't know if it was. In fifty seven and fifty

533
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: five radios were not installed at the factory. It was

534
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: radio delete. I don't in too many cases where radio

535
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: was a dealer installed accessory I believe in. And well,

536
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: I didn't get the radio. But the worst thing was

537
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: with the fifty seven. It was a sixth owner and

538
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: we had to uh, when you go up a hill,

539
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: uh the uh it wouldn't uh. The wintrow ripers wouldn't work,

540
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: you know, would cause that sure vacuum because they were vacuum, right, Yeah,

541
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: so there was a lot of things that fifty seven

542
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: had that the thirty nine did not have. So what

543
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: you're saying, you, what you're saying is the teenagers of

544
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: today that are driving Honda Civics, probably when they're seventy

545
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: six aren't gonna be going somewhere to find another Honda

546
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: Civic to bring back memories of their childhood. That probably

547
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: just won't happen. Remembering that all cars to save them.

548
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,959
Speaker 1: That's what I used to do, saving the cars. Had

549
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: a lot of them. The best was a four fifty

550
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: five g d O Hoe that was on the cover

551
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: of magazines way back when. Well, you know, and I

552
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: think I think the fascination a lot of us have

553
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: with cars, like we see cars, Yeah, they're neat and

554
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: they're cool, and they're tough, and they sound great and

555
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: so on. But electronic and electronic disc well, yeah, but

556
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: their history, right, you know, the curvature, the curvature of

557
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: a fifty five Chevy front fender, I forget, I think

558
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: it's twenty seven separate stamps and dies in order to

559
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: make that that that they couldn't reproduce that fender for

560
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: the longest time, because they didn't have the technology. And

561
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: you know, you look at you look at how cars

562
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: have constructed and evolved over the years, and now they're

563
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,479
Speaker 1: just stamped out. I think it's, you know, three movements

564
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: and they've got a car just it's it's just also

565
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: is they're redoing the old stuff again. Right, So you

566
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: can buy a fifty seven Chevy in a box. Yeah,

567
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: isn't that amazing? Which is amazing and nobody's reproduced it

568
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: to when I get the car, you can come to Malli,

569
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: Hawaii and see it run. Well we might do that, yeah,

570
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: because it'd probably hard for you to drive here to

571
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: see us. Yeah, there's no driving on the ocean. Well,

572
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: it depends if you ask certain Democrats. Now I can't

573
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: say that. They'll tell you it's okay. So all right,

574
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: not getting political, I better go. They're gonna shoot me

575
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,479
Speaker 1: Ron and in the car, thank you, Frankly, you take

576
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: good care. So yeah, we can't really say that was it.

577
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: But wasn't there a politician that said she wants to

578
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: eliminate I'm gonna state facts here. Wasn't there a politician

579
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: that said she wants to eliminate airplane travel? And this

580
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: way we're gonna travel around by train, right, no more

581
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: planes because of pollution. Right, So I'm not Yeah, and

582
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: I think it was a o C. Right, she said,

583
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: And and the and the and the senator from Hawaii said,

584
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna be kind of hard to get to Hawaii.

585
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: Somebody google that. Let me know if I'm wrong. If

586
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, I'll apologize. But that's what I remember about

587
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: a month and a half ago. That two months ago,

588
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: that's was you know, the green deal. We're gonna we're

589
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: gonna all take trains. Yeah, let's see you get the

590
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: real quick zero zero. This is not a political show,

591
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: but we're trying to keep us on the straight and

592
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: narrow and avoid stupidity. I'm running aiding the car doctor.

593
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: I'll be back right after this. Welcome back. Run in

594
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: the end, car Doctor. We're gonna wind it up this hour.

595
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: Hey quit tipped from the Car Care Council. They've come

596
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,239
Speaker 1: out with a new video on tire pressure Monitoring systems UM.

597
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: The Car Care Council's new video about t PMS, Rich White,

598
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: executive director explain talks about the meaning of the symbol

599
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: on your dashboard. It's important to vehicle safety. Driving on

600
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: underinflated tires can damage the vehicle potentially cause a damage.

601
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: Low tire pressure also leads to lower gas models. You know,

602
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: it's true, and a lot of people are out there

603
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: driving around with that yellow light on. They should have

604
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: made it a different color. The manufacturers then a yellow

605
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: light for t pms and a yellow light for check engine,

606
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,040
