1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: Well, I need somebody, not just anybody, you know, I

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: need someone Ronan. But I have seen some extraordinary, I

3
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: mean extraordinary three year old cars that are flushing every

4
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: fluid on the car with less than thirty thousand miles

5
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: on them, and the only thing that really end up

6
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: doing is they're flushing the owner's wallet. The car Doctor

7
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: had the mechanic put in diesel grade fifteen forty. He

8
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 1: didn't have any problem with that. Yeah, I don't know

9
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: why would you do that? What are you trying to achieve?

10
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: Welcome to the radio home of Ron and Nan the

11
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: car Doctor, since this is where car owners the world

12
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: will return to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair.

13
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up

14
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: the phone and call in. The garage doors are open,

15
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: but I am here to take your calls at eight

16
00:00:53,920 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: five five five six and now he running. Okay, no

17
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: ranking this hour, just conversation. Let's get over and talk

18
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: to Uh. Where are we gonna go first? Uh? Tom,

19
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 1: Let's go to Mike in Indiana two thousand jeep Grand

20
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: Cherokee and a pc I bus problem. Mike. Welcome to

21
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: the car doctic sir, how can I help? Oh? Thanks

22
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: for having me. What's going on here? Well? I got

23
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: into the other day and um, the first symptom was

24
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: the UM start and it'll run for two or three

25
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: seconds and die and the skim light would come on

26
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: the dash the Century mobilizer. So I disconnected the battery,

27
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: let it set for a couple of hours, come back outside,

28
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: started it up. It ran fine. All the warning lights

29
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: are on, all the gauges are dead. Okay, and I'm

30
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: coming up with a code P. And what have you

31
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: done to diagnose it so far? Um? Really? I checked

32
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: the grounds, I checked the relays on the BCM, UM,

33
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: I played with UM. I don't know how to explain it.

34
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: But the the d RV link for the pc I bus,

35
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: the little cap on it, that's all metal contacts on

36
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: the inside, the one I think it's in the left

37
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: ticket it will come alive. It's it's in the left

38
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: kick panel. You take you take the cap off and

39
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: everything comes back to life. Um. No, I take the

40
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: cap off, and when I put it back on, if

41
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: you go really really slow, the tackle come alive for

42
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: about team seconds and then then they'll they'll go dead again.

43
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: So what you're dealing with here is you've got a

44
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: bus failure. You've got it's a computer network in its

45
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: simplest form, and somebody can't talk to somebody, all right,

46
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: So you know one of the early tests and his

47
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: early data bus stuff, and you're gonna need a few

48
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: special things. Do you have a lapscope, Mike? And you

49
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: don't hear me say that word often? Um? You not?

50
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: I probably could get access to one far easily, okay,

51
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: because basically what you're looking for is you're looking for

52
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: a dead or an interference. You're looking for noise on

53
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: the data line, or a dead or a dead module

54
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: or a module that's failing. And the only way I

55
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: know to really test for it is to look at

56
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: voltage coming bach of each one of those pins. You're

57
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: gonna see somewhere between seven and eight vaults and it's

58
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: gonna be a nice clean digital square wave except for

59
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: the one that's bad. Because each one of those pins

60
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: goes to a specific module that you could be dealing with.

61
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: Pin one's PCM, Pin two is the driver door module.

62
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: Pin three is automatic temperature control. Pin four goes to

63
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: the radio and so on. So you know you're looking

64
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: for as the code says pc I bus failure. So

65
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: you're you're looking for something pulling down the bus. Do

66
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: you ever have a bad phone in the house? And

67
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: I'm I'm dating myself because this goes back a long

68
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: time ago, but you have a bad phone on the network,

69
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: and one phone would wipe out the whole house. Same, same,

70
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: same idea. You've just got You've got a bad component

71
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: wiring connection somewhere and now you've got to go and

72
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: find it. And the way, the way that it's typically

73
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: done is you're looking for digital square waves and signals

74
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: coming out of each individual module and that's why that

75
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: diagnostic junction port is there. All right, Um, you know

76
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: do this, I'll tell you what. Take my email Ron

77
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: at card Doctor Show dot com. Um, I know I've

78
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: got I know, I've got notes on this from working

79
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: on these years ago. We don't see a lot of

80
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: these anymore. This stuff's all gone. You know, in Indiana,

81
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: I guess there's vehicles. I don't know. I guess they

82
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: survived more in New Jersey. If it's if it's eight

83
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: years old and it's you know, out of gas and

84
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: needs breaks, they get rid of it. So, um, you

85
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: know which doesn't make any sense to keep them running. Yeah,

86
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: it's you know what that that vehicle will run. That

87
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: vehicle will go three four thousand miles, that engine runs forever.

88
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: Straight six or the V eight. I think it was

89
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: only a six that year, right, I've never had both

90
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: had the Yeah, yeah, straight six is what you want, right,

91
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: the fourth seven? Right? The Mercedes motor which didn't seem

92
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: to really yeah, Um, that's right. I was thinking something else.

93
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: But um, yeah, if that's if that's got the four

94
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: lead six in it and two thousand's the last one

95
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: of the last years of the good transmission, that thing

96
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: will go a good long time. How many miles are

97
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: on it? Three? Yeah? Just broken in, brother, Um, just

98
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: broken in. And you know the funny thing is you

99
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: can have a component failure that doesn't connect with anything

100
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: you're looking at. You could have a bad PCM in

101
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: that truck, but yet the fault code will never lead

102
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: you to it. You could have you know, it's it's

103
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: you could have a bad problem. You cant have a

104
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: problem with the vehicle theft system. I mean, there's there's

105
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: there's That code is so generic it takes you all

106
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: over the place. So now you really got to start

107
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: to look for what I always tell you look for

108
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: known good right, And I know I've got charts, I

109
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: know I've got procedures. Send me an email ron at

110
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: card doctor show dot com, reference reference are talk today

111
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: and I'll get something emailed back to you within the

112
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: within the week. And um also, just just for giggles,

113
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: send me the VIN the seven digit VIN not not

114
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: not that I doubt you know it's a two thousand,

115
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: but I always like to I always like to just

116
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: plug it in and just make sure I've seen christ

117
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: will do some funny things. I could ask you another question,

118
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: sure to for Nickel. All right, I've got a seventy

119
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: seven Firebird. Gotta um so I redid the A C

120
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: while back and I eventually had a clutch failure on

121
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: the front of it. It's got the what is it

122
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: the FRI six compressor right, the long the long compressor,

123
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: not the short round compressor? Right? Is that something that's

124
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: possible to take the clutch off without taking the compressor off?

125
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: Have you got the right tools? We did it all

126
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: the time. If if, and if the clutch is still available,

127
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: if you can find one, Um, the A six compressor

128
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: stuff is not not. There's not a lot of them

129
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: around from what I've seen, So they're out there, but

130
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: you gotta hunt a little. Okay, what were you gonna say?

131
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: What were we gonna say? That that you found one

132
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: you've got I found the clutch. I found the clutch

133
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: of Riley's. I think even ninety two pretty good deal. Yeah, sure, yeah, yeah,

134
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: right yeah, Riley's will probably haven't now that you say that, Um,

135
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,559
Speaker 1: but you know, by and large, a lot of places don't.

136
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: That's the neat thing about O'Riley oto parts. They seem

137
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: to you know, they've they've got parts. I think they're

138
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: I think they've got parts they don't know they have, um,

139
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: you know, and they just they just turn up on

140
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: their website. That's what I love about orileyoto dot Com.

141
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: It's just it's just, you know, if you've got nothing

142
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: to do on a rainy Sunday afternoon, goes surfing at

143
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: O'Reilly's at riley Oto Parts, and uh, you know, see

144
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: what they have. You'll be amazed. So send me an email, Mike,

145
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 1: all right, we'll do all right, sir, you too, Take

146
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: good care. Um. Yeah, And that's you know, that's a

147
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: lot of this and I keep saying to myself, there's

148
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: an older vehicle can bus problem, and the diagnosis for

149
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: that is very different than the next generation, which came

150
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 1: out on a lot of the vehicle men. Just oh

151
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 1: seven and eight model years two thousand and seven, two

152
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: th eight, and now here we are that vehicles twenty

153
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: one years old, and you have to say to yourself,

154
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: as the cars continue to evolve, where will we get

155
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: the software? Will we get the diagnostics the tools? I

156
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: just think you're gonna see a lot of these things

157
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: disappear into the weeds just for lack of the ability

158
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: to repair them from either parts or knowledge perspective. So um,

159
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: just uh, just you know, as technology grows, the circle

160
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: of problems seems to grow with it. Let's pull up

161
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: and take a pause. I'm running any of the car

162
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: doctor eight five zero nine zero. We're back right after this.

163
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: That's right. If you call and we're not live, you

164
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: can leave a message and we'll call you back to

165
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: get you on the air with Ron zero nine nine

166
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: zero zero. Speaking of Ron, here he is. Hey, let's

167
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: get on over and talk to Chuck in Newark, New York.

168
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 1: Is that right? Oh? For Chevy? Pick him up truck, Chuck,

169
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to the car doctor, sir. How can I how? Hey, Ron,

170
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: thank you so much for your service. I appreciate your

171
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: your insight to the public on the electric cars. You're

172
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: right on and you know, let me just comment on that.

173
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: I don't do it for for somebody to tell me

174
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: that I'm right. I appreciate the thought, you know what.

175
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: I do it because I'm concerned and I want I want,

176
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: I want somebody to prove me wrong. I'll be the

177
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: first guy to say, hey, I was wrong, I really will.

178
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: I just want to know where this is coming from,

179
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: because this is such a radical idea. Uh, you know,

180
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: this is a concept that you know, I remember ten

181
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: years ago I was talking about parts and national security,

182
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: how parts availabilities and national security problem. Here we are

183
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: with parts shortages. Now we're gonna have electric vehicles anyway. Uh,

184
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 1: your concerned, Chuck, How can I help you? Yeah? I

185
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: appreciate the ones that want to experiment with it and

186
00:10:54,320 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: promote the getting cure of the problems. Yea, with it's equation.

187
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: But that's our government hard at work. Okay, I have

188
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: a problem with my old four chey pick up four

189
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: wheel drive. Well, let's let some younger people borrow said

190
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 1: they were gonna move. I think they went four wheel

191
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:21,719
Speaker 1: and it came back with transmission leak and it uh

192
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: slips a little bit, but it goes forward, but it

193
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: won't go under yours and my mechanics says you need

194
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: to rebuild in twenty dollars. I don't. And I wonder

195
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: if there's some little simple linkage electrical connection or you know,

196
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: I put bar stop leak in its leak. Well, yeah,

197
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: I mean the leaks or the leaks can you know,

198
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: maybe be repaired without pulling the trans depends on where

199
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: they're leaking from. Is that the pan is at the

200
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: output chef seal. I mean, if it's anything by the

201
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: front pump or the front pump seal, the trans is

202
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: coming out. Uh you know it's the lines you tell me,

203
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: the cooler lines themselves. Okay, so the cooler lines oft.

204
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: Um be mindful chucked that if you if the cooler

205
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: lines have rotted out, what what are the fuel lines

206
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: like over the top of the trans What are the

207
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: fuel lines like coming down the left side of the chassis.

208
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: I've had them redone and and break lines as well. Yeah. Yeah,

209
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: it's you know roads up here. So I'm from North Valley.

210
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: I listened to w NBF dot com. Okay, sure, yeah, yeah,

211
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. Um. So you know it sounds like your

212
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: mechanic is spot on. I mean, if it's if it's

213
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: if it's you know, clicking into reverse. Does reverse work

214
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: at all? Or is it just it actually like you

215
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: put it right in the park if you're on a hill,

216
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: you know it'll just lock right up if you put

217
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: a new toly go back or on the hill, and

218
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: if you put it in reverse, does it or if

219
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: you put it in reverse and tried to back up

220
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: the hill or just try to do it on level ground,

221
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 1: if you put it in reverse, does it go into

222
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: reverse and back up? Okay, it sounds like an interview

223
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: You're like, you know, that's what I thought. Maybe it's

224
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: link it because they acts like it's in park and

225
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: when you put it in uh neutral, it almost acts

226
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: like it wants to move a little bit and go forward.

227
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: Well okay, hang on a second, Wait a minute, Wait

228
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: a minute. When so you're in park, park is park?

229
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: You put it in reverse and the trans is locked up? Yeah,

230
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: I just kind of locks the wheel. Any any dashboard

231
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: warning lights on Um, yeah, there is UM check engine light,

232
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: no service, UM break which that's the that's the e

233
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: b c M electronic put control module that typically goes bad.

234
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: So have you asked your mechanic is it possible that

235
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: this is not shifting out of park and staying and

236
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: going into reverse? Have you run this question past him? No?

237
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 1: I haven't. Okay, it's fair question. I don't think so,

238
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think so. From what you're describing

239
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: to me, it sounds like when you put it in reverse,

240
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: it's going into two gears at once, and that's why

241
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: it has no reverse. It's locked up. You could be applying,

242
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: um you're reaching. Yeah, it does, but most of most

243
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: of the other well most of the electric is inside

244
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: the trends anyway. Yeah, right, Um, you know, so, I

245
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: think it's a conversation with your mechanic. The one thing

246
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: I want to point out to you is I think

247
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: he's on I think he's on the I think he's

248
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: on the right track. I would not be surprised if

249
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: this is trans It sounds like you're you're applying to

250
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: gears at once. Uh, be mindful as far as trans

251
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: cooler lines at two thousand miles eighteen years old. You

252
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: may also want to start to think a little bit about, um,

253
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: the radiator itself. Just what is the inside of the

254
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: trans cooler look like? So just just speaking out loud, Well,

255
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: you know, if if the trans did indeed fail, what

256
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: does the fluid look like? Did you pull the dipstick

257
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: and look at the fluid? Yeah, it's it's kind of brown,

258
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: but it's you know, I um, yeah, it took out

259
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: a little too put in the but uh, you know,

260
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: if the trans fluid is well, don't overthink this, chuck.

261
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: If the trans fluid is brown, it's got a sharp

262
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: smell to it. It sounds like the transfer that doesn't

263
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: really you know. But if the trans fluid is brown,

264
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: it just might be the trans is worn out. Um

265
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: at a quarter million miles, you know, it's it's sooner

266
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: or later. So a lot of this slowly, I love it,

267
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: you know. Well, my point becomes that if the if

268
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: the trans is going to get done, and you know

269
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: that trans cooler has to be flushed. If that's the

270
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: original radiator at to twenty, you may want to consider

271
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: replacing it and just you know, it's just easier and

272
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: clean all at once. So but um, you know, just

273
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: just I know it's plus a radiator you don't have,

274
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: but better to do it once than I have to

275
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: go through the pain twice. Alright, I really appreciate your

276
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: service again and keep up the good work. Thank you, sir.

277
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: I appreciate your comments very much. You take good care.

278
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: Let's go over to bubb and Louisiana take YouTube bye bye,

279
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Let's go over to bub in Louisiana. Fourteen

280
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: Dodger Ram Bubba. Welcome to the car doctor, sir, How

281
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: can I help um? Pretty good man? Uh? Yeah, thanks

282
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: Ti McCole. Uh yeah, fourteen Ram uh got in into

283
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: just movie. So I cut the grass. And it's like

284
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: a key fob type of key that you have to

285
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: put in in turn and not just the kind of

286
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: leaving your pocket, you know. But it doesn't do anything.

287
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: So you you turn the key, you turned the key on,

288
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 1: no dash lights, nothing, yeah, you know. Usually you put

289
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: the key in and it goes don't don't don't. They

290
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: don't even do that. So the key fop will unlock

291
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 1: the door and lock it, but it won't do anything else. Okay,

292
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: So why can't this be a well I guess it

293
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: can't be a dead battery. Right, m hm, you know

294
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: the battery is good. I try jumping in a couple

295
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: of times and I checked it with my tester slung. Okay,

296
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: so let me ask Let me ask you the important question,

297
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: bubb you gotta scantel Yeah, if it won't come on

298
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: to let you read it. Okay, right, that was my

299
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: next comment. So why can't we have a fault in

300
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: the ignition switched circuit? That's what I looked at it. Uh.

301
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: I looked on online a little bit, and one guy

302
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: found uh he had a m It was some kind

303
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: of scope, electrical scope where you connect the lines. You

304
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: can see the power coming from the K line to

305
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: the to the little module behind the it's on the

306
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: back fire wall. Right. I'll tell you what, Bubba, I

307
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: don't want to rush line. Bubba, Sit tight a minute.

308
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: Let me pull over, take this pause. I'll come right

309
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: back to you, and then we'll move on to the

310
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: rest of the callers. Sit tight, Bubba, Louisiana, I'm running

311
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 1: any of the car. Doctor. We are back right after this.

312
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: Don't go away. I can the first real sixty out

313
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: the five and play. It's in the fingers. It was

314
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: the summer of sixty pcome back, we're on any of

315
00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 1: the car. Doctor, Let's get back to Bubba and Louisiana. Bubba,

316
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: you're still there when when you're you know what I

317
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: thought about it, when you're using a scan til you're

318
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: using O B D two basic right, yes, sir, okay um,

319
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: not that I think it would matter, but there have

320
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: been cases where Chrysler, your make model, we'll get into

321
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: other modules that you may not be able to communicate

322
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: with just solely on O B D two. So just

323
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: just keep that in mind. That will tell you something.

324
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: You were making a comment about something you read online. Uh. Yeah,

325
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: the guy said that to the module and the back

326
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: the ignition module. Uh, he found there was no communication.

327
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: There's supposed to be a k line that communicates between

328
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: the ignition and that module to tell the truck everything. Yeah,

329
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: this is the key. Everything is good. He found it dead.

330
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: He found a dead power from the ignition to that module.

331
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: Fixed the wire. He just connected at the back of

332
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: the ignition and to the module with the new R

333
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: and everything was fine. Right. Well, what they're talking about is,

334
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: you know, as part of this key system with the

335
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: skin with the anti theft there's also a radio frequency

336
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 1: hub which is the interpreter for part of the anti

337
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 1: theft system as well. You can go to the radio

338
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: frequency hub. There's non problems with it where one day

339
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: it works, one day it doesn't, and you'll you might

340
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: find cut wires, wires that fell off, or just a

341
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: bad radio frequency hub. Get yourself a wiring diagram and

342
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: verify powering ground to that hub. If you've got power

343
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: and ground to that hub, there's a real good chance

344
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: you've got a bad radio frequency or as they call it,

345
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: an r F hub and it just failed. But you've

346
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: got to verify by looking at power and ground. Do

347
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: you have another key by chance? No? That was my

348
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: next question was could it possibly be the key? I

349
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: called the place that comes out and does the keys,

350
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: and he told me typically, if it's unlocking the door

351
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: and locking the door, it's probably not the key. Well,

352
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: so unlocking the door and locking the door is a

353
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: separate function from recognizing the chip fault in the right

354
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 1: in the in the switch itself. So listen, you should

355
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: have a second k um. Let's you know, you should

356
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: have a second kid. If you don't have a second ken,

357
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 1: you lose that first one. Then what do you do?

358
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 1: You know that that becomes a bigger problem. So I

359
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: think still have two keys. It's not only one fob.

360
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay, got you? All right? So if you

361
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: put the second key right, you know, they don't start

362
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: the truck or anything. Right, If you put the second

363
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: key in the same thing happens. Yeah, it doesn't do anything.

364
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: But that key didn't never start the truck anyway? Why not?

365
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: It has a because it's a type of fib that

366
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: you have to put into the ignition in turn the

367
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: little plastic thing. Okay, okay, so you really only have

368
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: one work you're telling me you only have one working

369
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: k one working fob. Yeah, the other one doesn't have

370
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: a fob one, it's just a regular key, got it. Okay.

371
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: And then just for unlocking the doorl okay, take a

372
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: look at that radio frequency hub. I'm running out of time.

373
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: Do that. I'm here next week if you need me

374
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: for more. But I've got to think power and ground there.

375
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,719
Speaker 1: Let's see where that goes, is all right? Good luck

376
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: to you. Let's get on over to Mark in Virginia.

377
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: Oh three Yamaha, A Yamaha, that's not an automobile. Let's

378
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: see what we can do for you here, Mark ronaniny

379
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 1: and at your service? Or how can I help? Mark? Mark?

380
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 1: Isn't there? Mark? Hella? Mark? Once? Mark? I hear a movement?

381
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: Now I can go ahead. Brother? What's going on the

382
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: Yamaha Uma from two thousand three? And my coil is

383
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 1: not working? I'm trying to order a coil and all

384
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: the dealers are telling me that they cannot order a

385
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 1: coil from Japan at this time. So I'm trying to

386
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: find about an aftermarket coil. Everybody telling me not to

387
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: buy one of those? Is there a difference between an

388
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: aftermarket and still? I think it's I think it's a

389
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: matter of name brand. If we're just talking general generalities

390
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: among components, if if it's built to a manufacturer spec uh,

391
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 1: if somebody says, don't use this because you should only

392
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: use this other brand, asking why, uh, you know, plain

393
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: and simple, what is there? What is there about the

394
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: aftermarket coil that they don't like? You know what I

395
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: tout right? You know what? I what? I buy what

396
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 1: I well? Would I buy something for lack of a

397
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: better way to put it, made in China from a

398
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: poor manufacturer with a bad reputation. No. Um, you know, listen,

399
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,959
Speaker 1: everything manufactured today, whether it's automobile, motorcycle, or at some

400
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 1: point in between, is built to a certain spec and

401
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 1: quality standard. The parts that fail in the aftermarket are

402
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: built to a poorer standard than the ones that aren't.

403
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: So if if all you can get is an aftermarket coil,

404
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: does it come with a guarantee? You guarantee? All right,

405
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: what do you got to lose? That's what I'm trying

406
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: to figure out. Yeah, well I'm asking you what what

407
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: what do you what do you what do you have

408
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: to lose that it that it stops working? No, I

409
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: have no ride right now. That's a little question. Well,

410
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: and that's my point. If if they'll warranty it and

411
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: give your money back if it fails, if you're not happy, etcetera,

412
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: then you know, where are you trying to buy the

413
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 1: coil from online? Or at a at a retail store

414
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: or what? Everybody says they have to order it? Some

415
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: mus holder at Amazon. Perfect buy it from Amazon. Ask

416
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: Amazon what's the return policy? You've heard bad comments about

417
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: this particular component if it fails within a certain time period,

418
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: what do they do If they say they'll give you

419
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: your money back. It's it's it's it's gonna cost you

420
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 1: a walk home and you know, uh more inconvenient. But

421
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: right now you're completely inconvenient because you don't have any

422
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: parts unless somebody, Unless somebody tells you the after market

423
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: version of that coil is going to ruin the ruin

424
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: the vehicle, which I don't think they're saying that. That's

425
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: what one of the local deal he said, And that's

426
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: I don't understand. If if I can't have a coil

427
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: until the end of October, what what what about? It

428
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: is going to ruin the vehicle. That's what I don't understand.

429
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: I put aftermarket coils. I'm like, I'm as right, That's

430
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: what I don't understand either. Um. I would ask him

431
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 1: what does he mean it's going to ruin the vehicle

432
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: or is the dealer just trying to save a sale

433
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: form for later on. Don't you call Yamaha the company

434
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: and say, listen, I can't get any parts. Is there

435
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: an aftermarket alternative? Put it on them. See what they say.

436
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: We have to look that up. You know, Listen, these

437
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: guys might be treading if they're telling you that you

438
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: can only use manufacturer parts. I have to think about this,

439
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: but real quick, take a look at the Magnus and

440
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: Moss Warrant Act of nineteen seventy six. If a manufacturer

441
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: tells you you've got to use their parts to service

442
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 1: the vehicle, well that's there's there are parts of service

443
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: the vehicle in terms of warranty. But I think you're

444
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: treading on the line here. If they're telling you they

445
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: have to use your their parts to service the vehicle,

446
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: I think they might be in violation. I don't think

447
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: a two thousand three has a has a warranty, No

448
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't. But they're they're they're treading on anti trust,

449
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: is my point. You know, they're locking you into a

450
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 1: specific market, requiring you to purchase their product. I I

451
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: would I would talk to corporate, all right, because you're

452
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: taking the world of one dealer. It might have been listened.

453
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: Who was the guy at the phone that the dealership

454
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: that answered the phone? Was he the guy swaruping the floor?

455
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 1: Was he a real parts guy? I talked to the

456
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: parts department at two different dealerships and they both said

457
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: the same thing. They both said the same thing. Okay,

458
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: what makes them think? Yeah, what makes them think they'll

459
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 1: ruin the vehicle if the parts stops working, it stops working.

460
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: That's what I don't understand. I want to know why.

461
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: So you know, because if you go on forums for

462
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: that particular vehicle, do you see anybody talking about it.

463
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: I've looked it up on Facebook. I've looked it up

464
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: on everywhere, and nobody posts about the mission coil. People

465
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 1: are just creating everything else. So why don't you post

466
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: on Why don't you post on Facebook and ask the question?

467
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: And nobody nobody's got So it can't be that widespread

468
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: of a problem, right, logically, right, you haven't got an

469
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: answer at the street. Can let us know what happens? Mark,

470
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 1: I talked to corporate, so that doesn't make any sense

471
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: to me. All right, sir, keep me posting. Good luck

472
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: to you. I'm running any of the car doctor. We're

473
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: back right after this. Welcome back. We're a car doctor.

474
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: Oh excuse me there, I had a hiccup. Uh uh no,

475
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: no liquid lunch was no drinking on the job. So

476
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: let's get over. Terry Virginia, Gosh, Tom, I'm just I'm

477
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,479
Speaker 1: just it's just a crazy day today. Uh, Terry Virginia

478
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: running any of that your service, How can I help? Yes, sir,

479
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: thank you? Subaru out back with the Boxers six and

480
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: using the KNAV screen for anything for the navigation related

481
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: or to hang up the phone. I get a loud

482
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: pop or snap. It sounds like an electrical uh problem

483
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: up under the dash and the vicinity of where the

484
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 1: stirring column goes down through. So it's not that you're

485
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 1: getting a shot, park, it's not that you're getting a shock.

486
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:27,479
Speaker 1: You just here an arc or and okay, okay, all right.

487
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 1: Has anybody tried to diagnose or look at this? And

488
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: if not one, not, no I have. I'm trying to

489
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: avoid taking a dealer because they're probably going to tell

490
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: me they have to disassemble the whole dash for about

491
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: You're not gonna like my answer, not under warrant anymore.

492
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: You're you're not gonna like my answer. Then someone's gotta something.

493
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: Someone's gotta take something apart, brother and look at it. Uh.

494
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: You know this could be anything from a connection issue.

495
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: Was a vehicle every in an accident? You on the

496
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:58,479
Speaker 1: vehicle since now okay, um, you know it's it sounds

497
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: like something has a poor connection in poor contact. Have

498
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: you have you had any aftermarket accessories installed in the vehicle,

499
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: and so nobody's ever had any reason to take that

500
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: dash apart. How long is well, well, i'll take that back.

501
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: We had to have the speedometer replaced because the analog

502
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: speedometer quit functioning, and it turned out that they had

503
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: put one that was meant for the Australian market in

504
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: there and brand new. They fixed that on warranty. Okay.

505
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: And how many miles ago was that, Oh gosh, it

506
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: was about probably about something was brand new. It was

507
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: two thousand. Yeah, so it's it would be kind of

508
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: far fetched four years later and twenty thous miles later

509
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: that you know, it's it's doing it. But it sounds

510
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: like something is not seated properly or connected properly, or

511
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: we've got we've got a ground connection issue. You know,

512
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: I would I would obviously just look at and I

513
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: don't think so because I would imagine if it was

514
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: a battery ground or battery connection issue, other electrical circuits

515
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: and features in the car would be disabled or compromised.

516
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: The fact that it's strictly from using the NAV and

517
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: the radio and you hear the noise under the dash

518
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: tells me it's going to be something in that proximity

519
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: of the dash itself, and I think that's I think

520
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: that's where you're headed. But it sounds like it's got

521
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: to get diagnosed sooner rather than later. Because every time,

522
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: every time you do that, if it is a true

523
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: arc or or a static discharge, you're you're running the

524
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: potential of damaging other electronics on the vehicle. You know,

525
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: it's it's it's like running a lightning bolt through a computer. Oops. So, um,

526
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: you know, I gotta take it in. Whether it's them

527
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: or your trusted mechanic, whoever it might be, somebody's gotta

528
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: look at it. Yeah, well hopefully they can deal with it.

529
00:30:54,200 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: I don't know right right who services the car? Uh? Some? Um,

530
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: it's okay. So if if if, if they're your guys,

531
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: you know what, going in by an hour diagnostic time,

532
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: it's worth a hundred hundred and fifty bucks. At least

533
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: you get a direction. But it's got to get fixed.

534
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: So think of you know, you gotta think of diagnostic

535
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: time like going to the doctor. Doc. My elbow hurts,

536
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: I don't know why, and I gotta be able to

537
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: bend my elbow to brush my teeth. Um, it's just

538
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: a necessity. You've got to be able to drive the

539
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: car and not you know, do damage electrically and not

540
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: hear this static discharge of this pop at this arc

541
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: weld or whatever. You know, maybe you've got a wiring

542
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: harness ling against the dashboard, grounding out, shorting out, arcing out,

543
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: and in time it's gonna make it worse. So get

544
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: it in, get him a look at it, then let

545
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: us know what happens. All right, sir, you take good care.

546
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: I'm on any of the car doctor. We're back right

547
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: after this. Welcome back, weren't any of the car doctor.

548
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,080
Speaker 1: Let's get over to Marco in Florida. Marco, Welcome, How

549
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: canna helps? Sr? Hi Tom? How are you good? Um? So?

550
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: I have a ninety seven BMW to six speed um,

551
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: and uh, lately I noticed a little bit of a

552
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: ticking noise coming out of the I guess the fourth

553
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:25,719
Speaker 1: cylinder is the passenger side bank on towards the firewall.

554
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: So you're you're you're basing this on sound. You haven't

555
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: plugged in a scan tool, you have no fault code

556
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: you have you're just talking general area. You've got ticking noise. Yeah,

557
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: I use the mechanics statoscope to listen, and it seems

558
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: like it's more the noise comes a little bit more

559
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: out of that area. I listened on the valve cover. Um,

560
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: I have not gotten under it really to listen to

561
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: see if it's out of the block coming on. But

562
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: it it sounds like it's coming out of the valve

563
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: cover the top area. It's not the on so it's

564
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: not necessarily the chain or the rockets, right does it?

565
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: Does it sound like it's moving at camshaft speed, crankschaft

566
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: speed or you can't tell? UM? I want to say,

567
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: is camshaft speed? Okay? Why can't it be a lifter

568
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: that's sticky? So that's what. So basically my question was like,

569
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: ha ha, what would be a good way to actually

570
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: pinpoint that? I mean, I will have to take the

571
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: cover off and sort of check it. Well, you know,

572
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: my first step would be, if we think we've got

573
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: a sticky lifter issue, why don't you want to try

574
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: running an additive through to see if we can clean

575
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: out the lifter and get it to pump up. How

576
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: loud is the noise? Uh? Well, it's actually not that bad.

577
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: And really, when you accelerate the noises. You can't really

578
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: hear it. I only hear it either on about a

579
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: thousand to a fifth thousand. Okay, do this, do this,

580
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: do this, do this, do this because I'm want to

581
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: run out of time real quick, Marco. Go out to

582
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: liquid dash Molly dot com. Go out to the liquid

583
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: dash Molly dot com website. They make it. Okay, did

584
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: you look at the Royal additive for their for their

585
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: hydraulic lifters. Yes, okay, try a bottle of that quickest, easiest,

586
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: least intrusive method to do it. You won't hurt anything. Um,

587
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: it's a great product. We put that in a bunch

588
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: of cars. We haven't had any issues with it. Um,

589
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: do that. Call me back next week. I'm sorry, we

590
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,439
Speaker 1: just plumb ran out of time. But you can find

591
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: it at liquid dash molly dot com. I appreciate the call, Marco.

592
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: I'm on any of the car doctor. It's time to

593
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,959
Speaker 1: go until the next time. Good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless.

594
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: See you
