1
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: Ron and an Ian think about a car, think about

2
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: the complexity of a car, the electronics that go into

3
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: a car. I never really appreciate it until this moment.

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: This magic the Car Doctor, where you shut the engine off,

5
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: the windows would work okay. So what it's telling me

6
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: is that we've probably got a bad ground or a

7
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: corrosion somewhere in a connector. Welcome to the radio home

8
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: of Ron and Anan the Car Doctor, since this is

9
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: where car owners the world overturned to for their definitive

10
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: opinion on automotive repair. If your mechanics giving you a

11
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: busy signal, pick up the phone and call in. The

12
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: garage doors are open, but I am here to take

13
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: your call at eight five in one hundred and now

Speaker 1: might be. We've we've been here for the past too,

21
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, twenty six plus years and talking to

22
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: you about automotive that's what this radio show likes to do.

23
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 1: That's what I like to do during the during the weekend,

24
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: during the week I'm I'm one of those mechanics that

25
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: everybody loves to hate. And um, you know, just here

26
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: fixing your car. So but that's what this show is about.

27
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: If you've got a question, you've got a problem, and

28
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: give us a quality five five zero nine nine zero

29
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,360

Speaker 1: just finished our our our first hour for this weekend. Um,

31
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: last hour we were talking about oil and oil filters

32
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: and um, all things that that entails. Tom, did you

33
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: have a question or you know, you just said you're

34
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: the mechanic that everybody loves to hate. And I just

35
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: want to know that Tony and I just plan hate you.

36
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: So you know, it's not problem. It's it's it's it's

37
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: an equal I'll an equal opportunity offender. And there you go.

38
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: See that's why that's why we like you so much. Now,

39
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: you see, everybody, it's in Tom's contract that he has

40
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: to get on the air at least once a week,

41
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: and it makes him feel good because then he can

42
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: puff out his chest and say, although I have to

43
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 1: tell you Tom doesn't need to puff out his chest

44
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: as chest as Um. Without him, we wouldn't be here.

45
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: He can get us on the air with a juice

46
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: canon a string in the middle of the Sahara desert.

47
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: And I've said that many a time. Um, And we're

48
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: gonna write the book together when you retire, right Tom,

49
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: When we retire, Tom and I are going to write

50
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: a book about episodes and of self syndicating a radio

51
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: show and with the things we've been through. And there

52
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: are things that people just won't believe, and they're gonna say,

53
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: you're making it up. Oh No, we lived in so

54
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: and it always sounded good the things that go on

55
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, So you know it's all there. Um.

56
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: Last hour, I was talking, we had our last call

57
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: the last hour about extended oil changes, and I didn't

58
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: get a chance to finish it. Well, it's fresh on

59
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: my mind. I just want to comment we are headed

60
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: towards extended oil drain intervals, absolutely positively. The industry wants it,

61
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 1: the public wants it. I don't know if mechanics want it.

62
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: When I say the industry, I think the manufacturers wanted

63
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: The government wants it, So it's going to be here.

64
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: It's here now, but it's going to be expanded further. Uh.

65
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: You know, conversations this week with with several individuals. The

66
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: twenty thousand mile oil drain interval is coming. You can

67
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: see it. I can already see the problems with it.

68
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: Um So suffice it to say that if you are

69
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,839
Speaker 1: using a filter and oil rated for that mileage, and

70
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: in my mind, it's got to be rated for that

71
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: mileage in a little bit more. I was always taught

72
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: the ten percent rule. You know, if enough is good,

73
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: more is better, and too much is just enough. You

74
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: want to have a little bit more. The biggest problem

75
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: I've got is and Charlie, our caller from the last hour,

76
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: set it ten thousand miles on his Toyota camera. He

77
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't have anybody look at the car for a year.

78
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: So what's gonna happen? What's gonna happen with tp M

79
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: S lights? You know we we we with with changes

80
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: in temperature. Charlie lived in Maine. What's gonna happen with

81
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: changes in temperature? When the temperature goes up, the temperature

82
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: goes down, the tpm U slight's gonna go on, It's

83
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: gonna go off. It's gonna vary. He's gonna be playing

84
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: with changing tire pressure all the time, and how is

85
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: that going to affect it? And yeah, I know, I

86
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: get it. Somebody's gonna say, well, he'll put nitrogen in.

87
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: Nitrogen is only good for so much and that's not

88
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: gonna help it all by itself. So you know, I

89
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: can see. I can see the extended oil drain interval,

90
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: but I can also see people paying mechanics for an

91
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: in between service. Okay, I'm ready for my three thousand

92
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: mile under the hood fluid check, filter check and tire

93
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: pressure check and paying for that as a result, because

94
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: that service used to be part of an oil change

95
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: and by going through these longer drain intervals, we're taking

96
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: that out. So just just something to think about, because

97
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: nothing is for free. It doesn't work that way. By

98
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: the way, this week I signed up and if anybody

99
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: out there is on this website, Bob is the oil

100
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: guide dot com. Um. Evidently some of my comments have

101
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: raised some ire with some of the attendees, and UM,

102
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: I signed in. I logged in so I'll be out

103
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: there trying to get some education as they told me

104
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: I needed. And UM, but then again, I'm full of myself,

105
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: so I'm not really quite sure. You know, we'll just

106
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: see you what well. Tony and I have comments, but

107
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: we'll reserve them. This is a family radio, full of

108
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: myself and you have an ego, but that's beside the point.

109
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: I just wanted to make the comment, you know, about

110
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: the oil change intervals and such. My my daughter is

111
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: you know, she doesn't she doesn't drive very far. She

112
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: goes to work, she comes home, and the other night

113
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: it was like, oh my god, the tire pressure sensor

114
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: light came on. And I took the opportunity to educate

115
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: her because, let's face it, the last time the oil

116
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: was changed was back around Christmas time. It was at

117
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 1: our automotive. She doesn't have that much miloge on it

118
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: right now, and I, very bluntly have been busy the

119
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: last three months. I haven't been paying attention. So I

120
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: took the opportunity to teach her how to check the

121
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: oil pressure or the oil pressure, the tire pressure. Teach

122
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: her how to take care of the tires, teach her

123
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: how to pressurize them properly, told her to look at

124
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: them about once every couple of weeks. And you know,

125
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: Who's who's doing that with their kids? Well? And and

126
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: the problem become on the longer drain interval. Who's going

127
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: to do that now? On on a one year or

128
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: two or three year old car that works? The car

129
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: isn't good enough condition. The rims don't leak, fluid leaks

130
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: don't occur. That works. I've got a two thousand three taho.

131
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell this story. I'm not supposed to, but

132
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna. I got a two thousand three Tahoe in

133
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: the shop this week. It's got a hundred forty eight

134
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: thousand miles on it. Show a hands how many people

135
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: out there on a Chevy Tahoe, right? There's about a

136
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: gazillion of them, all right, so there's three four thousand,

137
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: if you want to be more accurate, there's a bunch

138
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: of them on the road, a bunch of them like

139
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: this one. Rotted out the brake line, the fuel line.

140
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: We're repairing it. We replaced the long fuel line over

141
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: the top of the trends. We're replacing all the brake

142
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: lines on the car. Welcome to the world. The GM

143
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: This is what they do. You have to lower the

144
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: gas tank to get to the brake lines, lower the

145
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: gas tank. Gee, while we've got it out, I said

146
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: to Tom, the customer, I said, Tom, why don't we

147
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: put a fuel pump in it? The top lock ring

148
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: holding the fuel pump down is so badly rusted, I'm

149
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: afraid I need a technis shot standing next to the thing.

150
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: All right, and let's get the fuel pump out of

151
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: the way. It's gonna be the price of the part.

152
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be the labor. Roll over again. He said, yeah,

153
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: you're right, order fuel pump. Get a fuel pump. Go

154
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: to take the locker ring off. The locker ring is

155
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: so badly rusted to the tank that using a hand

156
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: chisel after soaking it alright, just using a handschilsel tap, tap, tap,

157
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,239
Speaker 1: it just disintegrates and falls into a into a million pieces.

158
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: Now I need a tank. Called up General Motors. Oh,

159
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: a fuel tank for a two thousand three tahoe. That's obsolete.

160
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: You can't get one of those anymore. Really, Wow, there's

161
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: gotta be one around, used called all around, used trying

162
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: to find one. Nobody's got one. One guy had one.

163
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: It had one of the three of them. There's four

164
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: lock tabs up top. It had one broken off, I

165
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: could put three. While I've already got something that bit,

166
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: I don't need another one. My point is this, we

167
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: are so fixated on the extended oil drain interval. It

168
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: doesn't matter the manufacturers are gonna force to get rid

169
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: of the cars in seven to eight years anyway, because

170
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna stop make parts for it. And that's the

171
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: bigger problem. You guys gotta wake up and smell the coffee.

172
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: We're more we're more concerned with oil drain intervals. With

173
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: the president paid for taxes fifteen years ago and everything else.

174
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: Then you know the hard realities of you want to

175
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: get a car to last longer, take care of it,

176
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: maintain it, check the tires on a regular basis, check

177
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: the fluid levels on a regular basis, change the trans fluid,

178
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: the brake fluid service to drive line, look at the

179
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: belts and hoses. Yeah, even on a newer car, things happen.

180
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: It doesn't hurt to have an eye under the hood.

181
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: You still gotta do maintenance. An oil drain interval seems

182
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 1: to have people thinking that they're free. Well, I think

183
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: about is you know I'm free. I'm free. I don't

184
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: have to do anything anymore, and you don't. You don't

185
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: have to do anything until the car stops, and then

186
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a more expensive, bigger repair bill. Again.

187
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: I'm with it, all right. You want to drain the oil,

188
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: you know, on a longer interval. Make sure you've got

189
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: a rated filter. Make sure you've got rated oil. Make

190
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: sure you're checking the oil on a regular basis. It's

191
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 1: like nine all over again, family vacation. Every time my

192
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: dad stopped, we checked the oil. I remember that. How

193
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: many people remember that? You're gonna have We're heading back

194
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: in that direction, and um, I just want to make

195
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: him aware. And for the guys on Bob's the Oil

196
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: guy dot Com, I'll be there. Look for me. Eight

197
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: five zero nine nine zero zero. Let's pull over and

198
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: take a pause. We'll return after that to open up

199
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: the phone lines, which are really backed up. We're really

200
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: gonna rock and roll this hour, so I'll stick around.

201
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: I'm mornin in the car Doctor. Hey, welcome back. We're

202
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: on any of the car Doctor zero nine zero zero.

203
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: Let's get over to Lisa from Minnesota one fifty and

204
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: some problems with an oil pressure gage. Lisa, Welcome to

205
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: the car Doctor how can I help? All right, well,

206
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: I'm hoping you can help. Um. This is uh Ford

207
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: F one fifty and it didn't have a good engine

208
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: in it when I bought it. I bought it knowing

209
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: that my mechanic can see in this part before. So

210
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: I asked him if this truck was worth putting a

211
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: new engine in, and he said yes. So this is

212
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: the third engine. He had to go down to the

213
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: Twin Cities and buy this one himself. By the way,

214
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 1: both of you are priceless. Anyway, There's there's one little

215
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: odd ball thing he cannot fix because he says, all

216
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: he can figure out is we got to find an

217
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: old truck with the right part. He called it a

218
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: valve resistor. So I'm wondering if maybe there's a way

219
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: to bypass this. It goes under it goes under the hood.

220
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: It's uh a little little tiny rectangular looking thing with

221
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: two holes in the sides. Then it's got two connectors,

222
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: a male and a female coming off of each side.

223
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: It looks kind of like the thing I plugged my

224
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,719
Speaker 1: computer into. Are you talking about a ballast resistor? I'm

225
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: not sure if it's a ballast resistor or what, but

226
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: I was told it's a resistor, and without it, the

227
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: oil gauge always reads high oil pressure even though my

228
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: oil pressure is normal. Where where where is this part? Lisa?

229
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,599
Speaker 1: Where's it? Look? It's it's located under the hood. Is

230
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: it part of the wiring harness? It's under the hood

231
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: somewhere near the engine block. The little the little boxy

232
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: thing melted. Okay, now you're you're notoking. I took a

233
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: picture of it. I still have the piece at home

234
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: and and it's there's not much to it like it is.

235
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: Can you post can you put tom tom? Can she

236
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: post on the facebook page? She has the authority to

237
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: do that, Lisa, can you post it up on the

238
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: ronininian the car Doctor facebook page so we can get

239
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: a picture of it. I probably could, but not right now.

240
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: I'm not home. Yeah no, No, when you're home, and

241
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: then I'll look at it over the weekend and I'll

242
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: get back to you on on Facebook. Has that sound

243
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: just so, just so I know what I'm dealing with,

244
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: because if it's an and it's not, this isn't the

245
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: piece that screws into the engine, right, This isn't the

246
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: oil pressure center itself. It's got a male and a

247
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: female plug just and they're about the same size. Like

248
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: I said to the wire I used to plug my

249
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: speak are into my computer. Okay, okay, I'm sure. I'm

250
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: sure listen, I'm sure it can be I'm sure it

251
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: can be replicated. Uh, you know, there's an I'm sure

252
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: there's ways out there to create and put an oil

253
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: pressure gauge in this. You know what, there's guys out there.

254
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: If if we're restoring clusters on seventy two monty Carlos

255
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: and trucks and everything else, I'm sure there's a way

256
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: to replicate this. Uh. You know the other possibility what

257
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: I've learned as I'm going through the Monte Carlo repair

258
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: just google search eight seven f one fifty oil pressure

259
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: gauge repair and see what comes up. As if anybody's

260
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: providing after market parts or source for it. You know,

261
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: it's thank God for the Internet. You couldn't restore a

262
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 1: car without it anymore. But let me get a pure

263
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: let me let me see a picture of this, and

264
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: I can give you better information on what it is

265
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: you're looking for. Whether it's something you know, maybe you

266
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: could find that at Orilly Auto Parts, or maybe it's

267
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: gonna be something that you've got to go to the

268
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: obsolete Ford place in Ohio. I think it's green Ford's

269
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: green Ford. Let me think about this, green Ford Parts

270
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: dot Com. If I remember correctly, they carry obsolete, they

271
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: carry obsolete forward stuff. And he was the one who

272
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 1: told me it was obsolete. Yeah, if it's obsolete green

273
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: I think it's green Ford Parts dot Com. They were

274
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: in Ohio if memory serves me correct. If you just

275
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: Google search obsolete Ford Parts, obsolete Ford Parts or green Ford,

276
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: it will come up and um, you can find it

277
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: that way. And we've we've talked about them over the

278
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: years and everybody seems to be happy with them. They

279
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: tend to have everything they buy dealer clothes out and

280
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: they tend to hang on to older stuff, um a

281
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 1: lot longer. What else? Alright? Alright, great that that that

282
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: helps me out a lot. And I'd like to say

283
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: one of the real quick thing though before I go.

284
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: I've gone. I'm hearing you talk about kids today. I've

285
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: got four kids. Before they left home, every one of

286
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: them rotated their own tires and knows where every fluid

287
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: goes under the hood and how to check it. And

288
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 1: thank God for mom because Mom made him strong, independent person.

289
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: And that's what it's all about, right, you know, it's

290
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: it's and that's I've got a daughter who told me

291
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: the skills have come in handy already because she's been

292
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: out in the middle of nowhere and had a flat

293
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: tire and had to change it herself, had no cell

294
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: phone signal. And you know what, we're worried about our

295
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: kids coming out of high school and they don't know

296
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: how to balance a check book, much less than how

297
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: to change a tire or when an oil change is doing.

298
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: We've made them so much less self sufficient than we

299
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: have kids in the past. And um, you know what,

300
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: being tough on your kids is the hardest thing a

301
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: parent ever has to do. And it's it's it pays

302
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: off in the long one. So Lisa, Lisa, I want

303
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: to wish you the best, and you have give yourself

304
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: a good weekend. You post that picture and I'll do

305
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: what I can to help you and we'll get this

306
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: thing resolved, all right, all right, thank you very much,

307
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: You're very welcome. You take good care. Let's get on

308
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: over and talk to Jeff from Pennsylvania with an old

309
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: one Saturday and some problems with the way the car runs. Jeff,

310
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: welcome to the car doctor, sir, how can I help? Okay,

311
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: good afternoon, thanks for taking my call. You're welcome. Uh.

312
00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: Uh step on the accelerator and uh the car ms

313
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: will drop off down below two and sometimes one in

314
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: the car will go real slow, and when you go

315
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: up a hill or even a slight grade, the car

316
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: will stall when you uh, you can restart it right

317
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: after this happens, but then it will just keep doing

318
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: the same thing. If you leave the car shut off

319
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: for a while a few minutes and then restarted, you

320
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: can drive down the road a short distance, but then

321
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: it'll start doing again back. I don't know if it

322
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: was at the end of January February when it first

323
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: started happening, it didn't happen too often. Uh. He would

324
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: even uh, you know, drive it just keeps restarting, and

325
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: then they would pull out of this problem and it

326
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: wouldn't do it. You know, for many miles you can

327
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: drive it before it would happen again. But now it's

328
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: happening more frequently, to the point where I can't even

329
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: get about a mile from my house or a couple

330
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: of blocks that starts happening. I take it. Is it

331
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: a heat related problem? Is it more likely to happen

332
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: when the vehicle's warmed up? Or will it do it

333
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: when it's cold? Also, it'll it when it's cold. Also,

334
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: you know, just call a couple of blocks when I

335
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: had just started it, and it will start doing anything.

336
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: But it won't do it right out of the driveway.

337
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: You still have to go those couple of blocks. Yes, okay.

338
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: And what's anybody done to diagnose it? Or has anybody

339
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: attempted a diagnose I took it where I have it serviced,

340
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: and they did Uh. They checked the electrical system. Uh,

341
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: they said that that that's not the problem. They did

342
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: an engine diagnostic on it and they they said that

343
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: they couldn't find anything. They said it wasn't a computer

344
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: code problem or anything like. So let me ask you this.

345
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: Did they did they duplicate the problem when they ran

346
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: their diagnostic? Uh? No, as I know, they didn't. Even

347
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: they even I took it there three times for the

348
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: same problem. Uh. The third time they test drove it

349
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: before they even worked on it. They said they drove

350
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: it for fifteen miles and it didn't happen to them.

351
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: So so so it's an intermittent dying out problem or

352
00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: is it every time you do that, it has had

353
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: started happening more frequently. Uh, And uh, they thought maybe

354
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: what would help they they change the oxygen sensor on it. Uh.

355
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: And they also did a change the idle motor on

356
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: and they thought maybe that would solve the problem. But

357
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: it hasn't. So, you know, it's it's it sounds like

358
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: they're they're well, I don't I don't want to judge anybody,

359
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: but it doesn't sound like they're really good at diagnosic diagnosing. Uh,

360
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: you know, first rule, all right, and the way this

361
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: has to be explained, this is no different than going

362
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: to the doctor, Jeff, you know, Jeff, we can't duplicate

363
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 1: the problem. Here's our best educated guests or you know,

364
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: we've done some research. There's a bunch of sources out

365
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: there for mechanics today for pattern failures and commonalities. And

366
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: here's what the top three rated fixes are. And they're

367
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: all under two dollars. Which one do you want to

368
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: guess at? I mean, there's a bunch of ways to

369
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: go here. I can tell you the most common pattern failure,

370
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: all right, it's sort of common knowledge for these cars,

371
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: you know, and obviously I'm I'm I'm jumping ahead. You know.

372
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: Are the battery cables clean and tight? I always look

373
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: at battery cables and everything I diagnose is the alternator

374
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: charging correctly. I always double check the alternator. You'd be

375
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,719
Speaker 1: surprised what an alternator can do today. Last, you know,

376
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: the most common failure crank position sensor. They get a

377
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: little bit warm. The more they warm up, the more

378
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: they'll cause. The failure with the mechanic will typically see

379
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: is either lack of injector pulse lack of spark for both.

380
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: So it's a matter of if they can duplicate the

381
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: problem and either that or scope the crank sensor and

382
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: watch it fail. Chances are they can end up wanting

383
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: to put a crank sensor and make sure they use

384
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 1: something O E level quality because they are a known

385
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: problem now in the industry. Try that, call me back.

386
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: I'm our nating. The card doctor will return right after this.

387
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: That's right, that's me. I just want to bang on

388
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: the drum all day. Run in nating the card ocerate

389
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: five five zero nine nine zero zero wouldn't be nice

390
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 1: of all you how to do is just hang on

391
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: the drum all day. And you don't have to fix cars. Actually,

392
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: i'd be bored. I love fixing cars. That's what I do.

393
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: Let's get over and talk to him. Let's see if

394
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: we can fix his O H Chevy Silverado some problems

395
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: with the brake lights. Tim, How are things up there

396
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 1: in Flint, Michigan this afternoon? What's going on? Oh? They're cloudy?

397
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: Is cloudy and rainy? Yeah, so I think that's headed

398
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: our way to New Jersey. So we're kind of looking

399
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 1: forward to it if it turns into snow. I got

400
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: the plow on the big truck. I'm ready to go.

401
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: What's cooking, kiddo? Two years ago? About this Shivy trut

402
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 1: great truck, and uh, long story short, I put on

403
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: the brake pedal at that time, the brake lights have

404
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: come on and then go and then go off. And

405
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: even when I puld my foot on the pedal, okay,

406
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: So there, okay, And so what I figured out I

407
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: got online looking reading and I figured it out it

408
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 1: was a brake switch. No big deal, brake switch. Put

409
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: it on. Problem solved. A year later. I am going

410
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: down the highway. My wife's behind me, she says, here

411
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: your foot on a break No, all your brake lights

412
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: are on? You know read break lights the third break

413
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 1: light of the cab. Huh soide just tap the break

414
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 1: went off? Kind of kind of reverse problem in a way. Uh.

415
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: I saw a book online Again I thought, man, because

416
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: that switch go bad in the year, which yeah, I

417
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: can now know. But I ran across something online and

418
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: I said, the rod between the switch and the master

419
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: cylinder needs to be adjusted. That's my main question. Is

420
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: that adjustable rod? Is that? Would you over the phone

421
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: guess that could be another switch, which I already bought

422
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: one before I'm gonna put it on. I thought i'd

423
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 1: try to runna buy you and see what you thought

424
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: about a rod adjustment. Well, I would say no, because

425
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: I want to know what change? Did something change? Now?

426
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 1: What what engines in this? Tim? Give me some backup information?

427
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: Is this is this a five three or six oh

428
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: five three? And is this hydro boost or is this

429
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: a vacuum power booster? Vacuum? Okay, you know something's got

430
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: to change there for that to happen. And you know

431
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: I don't buy that. The brake light switch that's on

432
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 1: this is it a traditional push pull switch? No? This

433
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: is the type with the little finger that sticks down.

434
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: Which one is it's a the rod comes from the firewall,

435
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: and then it's a switch and then just to plug

436
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: you know, a ten millimeter bo holds it on the pedal. Okay,

437
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: so the rod goes where into the switch? Uh? Yeah?

438
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: Well rod bolts to the brake pedal and then the

439
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: switch bolts the brake pedal off. So to hold it,

440
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: I guess and which And the switch has a plunger

441
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: on it that you step on the pedal, it releases

442
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: the plunger out of the switch body. Yeah, I guess,

443
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: I guess. Yeah, I'm thinking old school plunder. But it

444
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: has a where the rod hits a piece on the

445
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: switch itself. It's not really a plunder, is just a

446
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: guess a center you know, like like your two like

447
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 1: your two fingers pointing straight down. It just catches in

448
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: between a piece of steel and that's what triggers it.

449
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: Right right, This is a This is if you took

450
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: that old switch off, it would actually spin three quarters

451
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: of the way around and then snap back. Correct. Yeah,

452
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: this is this is this is really neat stuff. This

453
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 1: is what they're doing is they're they're looking at the

454
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: acceleration rate of your foot to help judge in a

455
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: panic situation. They're looking at, um, it's a break light switch. Um,

456
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: I think of it as a break light switch, potentiallyometer.

457
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 1: They're looking at, you know, rate of pedal application to

458
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: help make decisions in regard to other things, abs control,

459
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: traction control, that type of thing. It's not a simple

460
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: on off brake light switch anymore. There is actually a

461
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 1: bulletin from GM dated August fourteenth, on my birthday, two

462
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: thousand nine. That's how I remember this one UM bulletin

463
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 1: O A double oh three A where the brake lights

464
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: turn off after the pedals applaud. All right, and that happens.

465
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: That's what happened first, right, that was the first problem.

466
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: And they've they've actually released at the time, they released

467
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: a new switch to correct that. Now, where did you

468
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: get your replacement switch from? Okay, do you remember the

469
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: part number or do you know the part number? Yes?

470
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: I do, I have it right here. I talked about

471
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 1: it this morning and I even looked on the build

472
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: date or make data however you want to say it

473
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: one zero zero nine, because that was the number back

474
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: on the bulletin from two thousand nine. It was. It

475
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: was the O nine. I remember this. Um, I'm sorry

476
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,719
Speaker 1: six toward the package you didn't open. All right, right,

477
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: this just just just write this part number down. Just

478
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: make sure the part number you have cross references to

479
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: the part number that you that you purchased. What I'm

480
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 1: saying is, if that replacement switch that you bought a

481
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: year ago was was old stock, you may have a

482
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: problem here because you may have it, you may have

483
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: an older switch, you may have something else. Just let's

484
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 1: start with a correct switch. One double oh nine is

485
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: what's on the bulletin from two thousand on. All right,

486
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: And I'm sure the way General Motors supersedes part numbers,

487
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's superseded twelve times, and it's it could

488
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: very well be the switch you have in your hand,

489
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: but I want to make sure of that, all right.

490
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 1: You know that's you know, okay, So that's yeah, that's

491
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: probably the most current. When the dealer looked it up,

492
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: did they take your vin that they look it up

493
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 1: by vent or by your make model? Okay? UM, just

494
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 1: double check it because I still like to look a

495
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,479
Speaker 1: lot of my parts up by you know then, and

496
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: they would need the last eight digits of the vent

497
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: to do that, and I'm surprised. I'm surprised that a

498
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: dealership parts department, they didn't ask you what the VIN

499
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,959
Speaker 1: was in order to do this. So I would just

500
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: verify that and and just make certain you've got the

501
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: right switch. That being said, I would start with the switch.

502
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: Switches are still very common. You know what I could

503
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 1: I could bore you guys for the next two hours

504
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 1: with conversations about new del call parts that I put

505
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: in new means never ever worked, and sure enough they didn't.

506
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm still battling with Delco over a

507
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: few things, and I've I've taken a not a bad

508
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: view of Delco, but a judgmental view of Delco in

509
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: the last year that I'm questioning some of their stuff.

510
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: It just doesn't seem to work. It's not what it

511
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 1: once was. So I don't feel about aftermarket, uh you

512
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: know all Riley is advance all that kind of you

513
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 1: know what, I'm starting to open my mind to it

514
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: because I'm seeing cases in situations like this where heck,

515
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 1: I had a Delco ignition switch in a in an

516
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: O seven Chevy Trailblazer a couple of months back. I

517
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: talked about it here on air where the Delco switch

518
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: kept having repeated failures. Put an aftermarket switching, I think

519
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: from b w D cars out there six months, seven months,

520
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it cars fine, you know. So it's

521
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: it's just because it's Delco doesn't make it right anymore.

522
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: I'm learning to I'm learning to look at that. You know.

523
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: It's it's whether they've grown too fast and they're going

524
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: through a rough patch. Uh, you know, it's I was

525
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: talking to someone from Wicks Filters the other day and

526
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: we were talking about parts, and I was telling them

527
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: the Delco's story and he goes, wow, that's pretty amazing

528
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: that the the the the manufacturer specific Owee stuff is

529
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: having issues and the aftermarket is gaining ground. And I said, yeah,

530
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: because I think the aftermarket is paying more attention right now. UM,

531
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: So don't don't don't assume just because it's Delko or

532
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: new that it. Um it's a good piece, but I

533
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 1: would definitely take take a hard look at that switch

534
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: and change it. Now. Last piece of technical information. If

535
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: you go down to that switch al right at the

536
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 1: at the stop lamp, you should have twelve vaults on

537
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,360
Speaker 1: the orange white wire coming out from the body control module.

538
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 1: If you do and you jump that orange white to

539
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: the purple wire at the brake switch connector, the lights

540
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: should go out. And if if they do, change the

541
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,479
Speaker 1: brake switch. Alright, make sure you use a fuse jumper

542
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: when you do that, all right, I want to protect

543
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: the circuits. Alright, sir, do that and give me a

544
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 1: call back and let me know how we make out.

545
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: You're very welcome, Tim, Good luck to you. Five zero

546
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: nine nine zero zero five zero nine zero. How many

547
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: years I've been saying that number? Now? Do you know

548
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 1: your name at least? Ronny in the Car Doctor eight

549
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: five five six zero nine nine zero zero. By the way,

550
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 1: that's Barry White on the board today, folks. I just

551
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: want to let you know that we resuscitated him from

552
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: no no, no from been is. This is Tony Atwood.

553
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 1: That's right. So and by the way, not a lot

554
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 1: of different going to the Car Doctor website, which people

555
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: should do anyway, and you can see both of us.

556
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: We're like, we're the two handsome ones. Yeah, yes, in

557
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: your dreams. Five five zero nine zero zero. Myself, Tom

558
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: and Barry White will all be back right after this. Hey,

559
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 1: welcome back on meeting the car doctor. Let's get over

560
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: and talk to Bill in Massachusetts fifty five Soto Gee.

561
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 1: I think that's a good year. Um hooro Bill, Welcome

562
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: to the car Doctor. Sir. What's going on? I have

563
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: piso it's a positive ground system. Okay. We had the

564
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: wiring re done about a year ago. It cosby running

565
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 1: to it on a new wire. Um. What happened is

566
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: we've lost generator output U when we're running. So we

567
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: took the generator out, we had a rebuilt. The guy

568
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: tested it on his bench and it's working fine on

569
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: the bench. We put it in the car and we

570
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: get no output. Also replaced the voltage regulator, the start

571
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: of relay and several other things. Alright, So then we've

572
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: got to have a wiring issue. Now. Well, I rete

573
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: all the wires. They're all they all check continuity. They

574
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: they're all going to the correct places per the diagram. Uh,

575
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: and they all new. And I'm little lost as we've

576
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: had the generator out three times and back to the

577
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: the repair shop, and each time they put it back

578
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: on their tests and and it's it's outputting on the

579
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: test and put it in the count. It will not output.

580
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: Oh this is a great problem, a broken car that

581
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: we can't fix. So I'm trying to remember a generator.

582
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: A generator didn't but I guess they initialized it because

583
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: it's charging on the test stand. Yes, right, So it

584
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: can't be that. So then I've got to think there's

585
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: something inherent in the vehicle. Are we missing a ground

586
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: or a connection somewhere that was once there and now isn't.

587
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: But you're saying you've been all through the wiring harness. Yes, yes,

588
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: it rans for a year. It ran after after the

589
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: new wirehouse. Okay, well you know it doesn't mean good.

590
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: I mean, we go back to that. But I'm wondering.

591
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if we're missing a ground, ground between a

592
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: ground connection between the battery self and the body of

593
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: the vehicle. That's there. Yeah, that was there. That is good.

594
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: I really continuity test on that. Also. I'm just thinking, um,

595
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: you know, if it was a charging system, if it

596
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: was an alternator or generator, it doesn't matter. If the

597
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: alternator is verified is good, if the volte regulator is

598
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,959
Speaker 1: verified as good. Um, in this case, if the if

599
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: the generator has been initialized and the wiring is good,

600
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: where would I go um. Now, let me ask you this.

601
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: Can they check that regulator to the have the ability

602
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: to test that regulator? Yes, we also on one of

603
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: the chests, we also gave them the regulator. They put

604
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: it in the circuit on the test sin with our

605
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: generator and were you say that it worked? Okay, so

606
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: we know it's not the generator and the regulator. Yes,

607
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: these kinds were noted for n gage failures. Right, tales,

608
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: it can go right to ground. I bypassed it per

609
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: the old car manual. You can jump jump it out

610
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: so you don't have it in the system, and it

611
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: still did the same thing. Now is it possible that?

612
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: Now let me ask you this, did the AMP gage

613
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:26,719
Speaker 1: fail the MP gage when you started up the MP

614
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: gage goes to the negative side a little and on

615
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: a normal procedure, and then after the engines running, it

616
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: would come up again show a little bit of charge

617
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: where it had just drawn on the battery. Okay, so

618
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: the end. So the AMP gage theoretically was still working

619
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: at the time of the charging system failure. Yes, yes,

620
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: that's how we initially discovered it that the MP gage

621
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: was going directly to the negative side when you started

622
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: to run the car. Do you have this wiring diet

623
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: Graham available to email? Bill? I can get it in

624
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: an email it to you, would you because I'll I

625
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: want to look at this. I'll figure this out for you. Okay, Uh,

626
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: send me an email Ron at Car Doctors Show dot com.

627
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: Because I'm I'm up against the clock. The clock is

628
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: gonna grab me and I can't. I can't give you

629
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: a lot of time right this second, but I want

630
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: to look at this wiring diagram. Um, I want to

631
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: talk about You know, it's not because the generator and

632
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: the regulators in the car. Okay, you know if we

633
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: if we if we hand built a wiring harness, I'm

634
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: sure they would charge. So the problem has to be

635
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: in the in the harness itself. We just gotta figure

636
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: out where and how to attack it. So I'm looking

637
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: for information on the wiring harness for that vehicle. Send

638
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: me an email and I will get back to Will

639
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: correspond by email. Will update the listeners here on Aaron

640
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: as well as on Facebook for anybody that's interested in

641
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: the coming weeks. Has that sound okay? Just remember this

642
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: is a positive ground system. Put that in your email,

643
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: but I'll remember it all right, and just tell me

644
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: your make model, because I talked to so many people

645
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: with so many cars during the course of the week.

646
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: All right, sorry, okay, Bill, thank you, and we'll we'll

647
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: we'll get it fixed. No worries. Eight zero ruminating the

648
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: car doctor. Right after this, we're back. Hey, welcome back,

649
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: aren't they in the car doctor? Let's get in our

650
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: last call to sour Tony, Wisconsin on nine on the CRV.

651
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: How can I help? Hi? My name is Tony. I

652
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: am that two thousand nine CRV and I have a

653
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: mouse problem in my CRV. What's happening? Um? I look

654
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: on the internet and try to figure out and a

655
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: lot of people are having this problem with like two

656
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: thousand five to two thousand and eleven time the CRV.

657
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: But it says to take the call off and cover

658
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: the holes with the mesh type thing. Um for the

659
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: like the air intakes right down around the base of

660
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: the count call. Okay, So all I do is take

661
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: that off and then apply this mesh on those holes

662
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: that go into the inside of the car right there,

663
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: just trying to prevent because that's the that's the air

664
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: entry point. They're just trying to prevent the animal entry point.

665
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: Probably The other thing I would use here is Honda.

666
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: Honda makes specifically it's called Honda Rodent tape because the

667
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: other thing you got to think about is if they're

668
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: no longer getting into the cabin filter and they're still

669
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: attracted to the car, what what what part of the

670
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 1: wiring harness are they chewing on? Exactly what I'm worried

671
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 1: about there is do you have a nest inside the

672
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: call on the outside of the car? Yeah? No, I

673
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 1: I get you. They make a it's called Honda Rodent tape.

674
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: You can actually get it online. I've I've purchased it

675
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 1: myself on Amazon, but you can get it at the

676
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: local Honda dealer. Um they call it Honda road and taper.

677
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 1: That's how I refer to it. It's it's part number

678
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: four oh one nine dash seventeen and basically it's got

679
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: like a peppery taste to the tape. You would have

680
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: to get the car up in the air, wrap the

681
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: wiring harnesses underneath the vehicle in it, and then you know,

682
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: maybe around your point of entry where the cabin filter

683
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: air and take go put some there and um, you know,

684
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 1: hopefully that'll slow him down. So you know, in the

685
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: old days, I would tell somebody use moth balls in

686
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: a plastic bag and punch some holes in the in

687
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: the in the plastic bag with an ice pick and

688
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 1: see what that gets for you. But you know, Honda

689
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: kind of stepped up to the plate here and I

690
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: think they've come out with a better idea. The road

691
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: and tape does work. We use it in the shop

692
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: all the time, all right, Tony, alright, pretty good, Thank you,

693
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: very thank you, sir. You're very welcome. You take good care.

694
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: I'm on any in the car doctor. Hey next week,

695
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: next week the big T S T event up there

696
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: in west Chester for all our brother technicians and shop owners.

697
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 1: If you're out that way at the west Chester Marriot.

698
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: We're broadcasting live from there with Jerry Trulli in the Gang.

699
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,280
Speaker 1: But till then, till the next time, I'm on Anny

700
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: in the Car Doctor, reminding you the mechanics aren't expensive.

701
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: Care priceless. See
