I definitely enjoy the live diagnosis and hope that's how you continue to post. Those that do not enjoy that format can simply fast forward. Keep it up!
Another vote for showing the process! You may not realize it but part of what we learn from you is hearing your thoughts as you work through the problem. Sometimes you take a wrong turn, but that might be the RIGHT turn for me if I have similar symptoms. So, just hearing that turn exists at all is still a gift. Thanks as always for sharing your experience with us!
To you it's just another grounding fault, but to the viewers it's another good lesson that drives the message home. There'll still be plenty of views. My takeaway from this video is that if the crappy plastic engine cover isn't going over it's retainers properly, dab your finger in a random pool of oil and smear it on them.
I'm a retired math teacher, and I can state beyond a doubt that your students learn best by watching and listening to you work through a problem, possibly even making mistakes along the way yourself. I learn more about cars and troubleshooting electrical problems by watching you work problems with all of their awkward stops and starts. Great teaching! Don't polish it up, please. Excellent pedagogy, Mr. O.!
Continue live diagnostics, please. This is important for those of us here to learn something in addition to the entertainment value. Great job again! I’m jealous that in my career boring for me is coma territory for anyone else - not 150k+ views worthy.
Eric you might think it's a stupid video until a viewer who has the same model and same issue which might be a common issue with this particular vehicle, stumbles across your video and is like... OMG, It's a simply fix and thanks you. So keep on doing what you do!
I'll throw out a guess that with recent retirement of many boomers, the dearth of upcoming techs has left shops with only a few capable of electrical diagnosis. Many were trained to do repetitive tasks like brakes and tires, and were never given opportunity to learn a little more. It gets worse when all the challenging electrical problems are funneled to one tech, so when he goes on holidays or is busy, nobody is there to pick up the slack. With so much paying work to do, few want to spend time learning a possibly frustrating task that might not pay as well. The good news is the way guys like Eric O offer outstanding free education for techs, regardless of whether the local guys in his shop are willing and able to teach. Knowledge is power, and even mobility to move up to the next job elsewhere.
@@spelunkerdboomers? What are you even talking about? Most of their expertise was carburetor days with 5 or 6 wires under the hood. Gen X dealt with the transition to EFI & have been around through all of the transitions with various fuel injection & the wiring to go along with it.
I know a few boomers that run circles around a lot of younger techs. But i mostly agree being genx myself. Diagnosis is mostly what i do. @stevemccauley5734
One of the things that makes you stand out and a reason why I have learned so much more from you than many other folks on the youtube is that you walk us through the process rather than just showing us what you found. The process is more important than the answer as the process when followed regularly will find an answer. Just showing us what you found is like identafix and following a bunch ofother people guesses. Learning to follow a systematic approach is the real treat.
Fixed that exact grounding point in our Caliber a few years ago, was an easy diagnosis because some guy down in Avoca taught me about grounding issues in Chryslers 😁 Personally I like the live diagnoses, IMHO the more of the diagnosis process we get to see, the more "complete" the learning experience
Agreed! Also, those “bundle stiffeners” in a wire harness might help guard against tiny wire chaffing/ positioning but sure seem to be “wonderful” at wicking moisture into the harness as well.
Just to let you know that I truly appreciate following along with you troubleshooting the problems. I feel that I learn a lot more that way instead of just showing the solution. Real world problems require troubleshooting or a wealth of knowledge. Thank you for all that you do.
This is surreal. I just made this repair on a family members patriot last week. Only difference was there were three broken wires in the harness. My first ever electrical repair as well, which thanks to your videos seems to hold up.
Helicopter tech here, the live troubleshooting videos are good. We use the same techniques and have similar problems with corrosion. I believe what you are demonstrating is useful across a number of industries. Thanks.
Eric, it's crazy to me that other shops seem to not have a clue. You have a no-nonsense approach that is refreshing to see. I understand so much more about diag and can use this against other shops to keep from getting ripped off. 😊
I bought a 2007 Jeep Wrangler. It was loaded with active codes and ran like crap, so I got it for a good price. I've been using an Autel for years (way cheaper than buying a New car) so I plug it in and what do you know. I had it fixed in one weekend and it runs beautiful. Gotta have the tools and equipment if your serious about fixing stuff. God Bless you Eric for getting me into modern tech diagnostics.. I miss the old days Sir.
I lost ground to my running & signal bulbs, but thanks to you, Eric, I went in, soldered in new lugs, reconnected & sprayed some sheep-dip and... Bob's your uncle! Thanks for all you do for us DIY'ers!
Yet another great example of a true master mechanic at work. Great example of your master technique that you employ in diagnosing the problem and explaning the corrective action necessary for the repair.Great video.
I think the nice thing about these "dumb and simple" videos, is we get to see them so we don't get burned. So many people throw parts at everything without actual diagnosis. I appreciate the little things, because they can cause big problems and big headaches.
Agree 100% with "showing the process"! Definitely like seeing your methodology, what you go after in the wiring diagram, and how you apply it to the problem. Caffeine, or not, you're an amazing individual on many levels! As is "Mrs.O" Absolutely LOVED the "finger dip" into the spilled oil in order to lube the "ridiculously large plastic engine cover" standoffs! Priceless! And, GENIUS! SMA is the GREATEST!
Even if you've covered a particular item before, I still watch because I always learn something. Here, you reinforced the principle finding the commonality of the issues, testing your theory, then executing the fix. Classic yet valuable. Good stuff, Eric!
Eric, keep up with the live diagnostic videos. How you find things helps me as much if not more than what you find. Nice peanut reference. Thanks as always
Yes please show the process. That's the one thing about your channel that no other channel does. Thanks for all the awesome videos you put out Eric! Keep it up!
Can a Jeep Compass get lost? All jokes aside. You are an excellent automotive technician. I don’t know what your rates are but I’m pretty sure you’re the right man to take a troublesome car to. Without the proper test equipment and knowledge a shade tree mechanic can spend more to chase a problem than pay you to fix it the first time.
I agree with 99% of all the other viewers. Show the process! If you don’t show how to properly diagnose a problem then how can anyone learn how to do it themselves. When I have a problem I can’t figure out I will go back and search through all your videos to see if you had posted a relevant video Thanks for all the great content and especially the free knowledge your just handing out.
I do appreciate when you scroll through the screens. Though it makes a video shorter to not show that, it helps us backyard mechanics understand where/how to find the info. Keep up the videos!
Eric, it seems like you're the only mechanic in your area that knows what you're doing, and can actually do it! You've got multiple other shops sending you their job, because they're ignorant of how to solve the problems themselves!!
It never ceases to amaze me how often a perceived major issue turns out to be a bad ground connection. I remember those FRAM commercials where the guy says, "Of course, the choice is yours. You can pay me now or - cha-CHING! -pay me later!"
Not only did you "CUT IT ON", but you used it's own "fluids" to lube up the "plastic cover snaps" - omg - totally awesome!!! Oh - and you fixed the issue - double win!
Featuring the often complicated hunt to find the problem is one reason why I like your channel a lot! Finding engine torque had shredded a wire recently was one of your best.
I have seen so many of your lack of ground videos that i just put in my ear buds and watch for the green puss that we all enjoy seeing . I learn from your videos to never trust a ground wire without a test and when they all go to the same place it will for sure have green crusts going up inside the insulation due to an inability to get a good shrink seal on multiple wires. Chrysler never disappoints!
Well well well, early bird gets the worm! Hey Eric, hope all is well, thanks for the video. Edit: it's also nice to see you look up the info, everything is educational.
You showing the entire process with the looking-up and the thinking and the theorizing and testing is why I watch this channel. So many mechanics just show the solution without showing the steps they took to arrive there. I like seeing the steps.
Well done young man! One of my Instructors and a Friend ( two different People) the first thing they would say was "Did you check the Grounds" I don't know why? But it took years for that to get through my head. maybe it was from the door slamin drag racing I did for so long 5 to 8 wires Excluding Spark plugs. But It did sink in until OBD2 but then I was doing body and fender repair. Just dis connect the battery and or remove the computer and modules, saves time and money in newer cars. Now I'm retired. It's great to watch you do what I had my head chewd of for a few times now I can point fingers an laugh with my friends. " Did you Check the Grounds and other connectors before throwing parts at it!'
Thanks for your Vlog, I have been stuck not walking for a year because of a Achilles injury and I learn a ton from your Vlogs and I am entertained. Grounding issues are interesting because it's like the ghost in the machine being discovered. My only issues is with not cleaning the oil and the leaves, I assume you did, but if not that is the only bee in my bonnet! Ha :-). Thanks for your Vlog!
I thought it was cool you knew it would carry current and was getting signal but still knew it was a wire problem. I would have probably never found the correct wire. I would have shook everything until problem went away, and been lost. DON’T TOUCH ANYTHING‼️ Great advice!
I agree, I like hearing the thought process, I like your dad jokes, I like your almost not fake cussing. I don't mind in the least when you are trying to navigate on the scanner - same as me.
Mr. E. O. You do NOT make stupid videos.... might be stupid to you because you do this every day. For me, the DIY guy because I have to fix my own cars it is not repetitious. It takes me much longer to remember how to do it. Watching your videos helps to get it stuck into my grey matter .... alittle. Actually doing any specific task at least a few times is best for my aging gray matter to obtain and REMEMBER how to do it. Your videos are fun for me, educational ... no matter how simple a particular fix may or may not be. Simply put ... your videos are the best for ME ... I have to tell my kids and grand kids all the time ... "stop saying you are stupid ! You are not born knowing evrything... you have to learn about whatever it is they are dealing with. NOT wanting to learn is stupid". I watch many if not most of your videos.... because I dont want to be stupid !! : ) As you were... be well and be safe !!
Eric...been watching and enjoying your vids for years. I've found you very educational and entertaining. Kinda lost me after you went off about UA-cam viewers. But I got over it. You need to quit worrying about the bad coments. If they don't like the way you do things. They can move on. Or start their own channel. Keep the vids coming
Your videos are never dumb, the diagnosis and the mystery of where you find the bad part of a wiring harness is like finding the last egg at an Easter egg hunt. 😊
I was so impurity how fast you found the issue before you even got started hardly. That’s the true way you know you’re a professional - thanks for taking us along and teaching us!!
By all means continue showing the diagnostic process. That's what the channel is all about, if I say so myself. Well, that and the much-anticipated cameo appearances by Mrs. O and Luna. You are truly on another level from many of the technicians out there. They are hacks, just filling space and collecting checks. You sir are doing God's work. You're living right and we appreciate you Mr. O!
One of the “Main” reasons I subscribed to this channel was that I loved the format. The journey helps everyone of us that works on our own vehicles or are mechanics. Keep doing what you do. People that don’t like it can skip the video completely or fast forward through what they dislike.
Another real-life diagnosis of a common electrical problem. I love it. Great work again. I find it fascinating that these car companies can still have ground quality issues after making cars for over a hundred years. Really you car companies guys can't figure it out yet? WTH
Showing all the steps you go through Mr. O, is exactly what we need to know to enhance our troubleshooting knowledge. Always happy to incorporate your expertise into my own jobs... makes it easier for me.... so THANKS!
I like these "Sherlock Homes" type videos, and you doing it live is just fine with me. A pleasure to watch a great mind at work. I was amazed at how fast you figured out the problem. Thank you! P.S., Coffee doesn't sit well with me either.
Hello Eric & Mrs O: Eric you may be slightly modest about your instructive abilities. I think you like most really good teachers do not realize the gift you give to others. People learning without knowig they have been taught is a gift you give them. Please keep up the great work. This viewer will keep watchi g and learning along the way.
5:06 Mr O. I genuinely appreciate you going through the process step by step as you go. Your methods and processes are excellent and always helpful to learn from. I like getting to see it live, and can take your process and apply it to other wiring/car issues. Thanks for what you do! Your neighborhood is lucky to have you!
Just watched another repair guy spend hours in the diagrams before doing the visual inspection. All the time I’m yelling at the UA-cam that Eric would have done a visual inspection long ago and saved a bunch of time.
Dear Mr. O, Long time subscriber. Thanks for the videos. Thought I would share with you. Your troubleshooting training class has paid off for me, I just fixed a stereo power amp. Visual inspection! Love Always
Another happy customer. Not a stupid or boring video at all . I like your trouble thinking process and we all learn from you. Keep the camera rolling. Aaron from Canada.
The other shop was on the right track in cleaning the ground, just didn't check for the green crusty, poor observation, thanks Eric for another lesion in the importance of a GOOD GROUND.
Being well grounded is a good attribute to have. Referring to a person who is stable, practical, and level-headed. A grounded individual is reliable and down-to-earth, with a clear understanding of their priorities. Thank you, Mr. 'O' for being well, 'grounded'.
I definitely enjoy the live diagnosis and hope that's how you continue to post. Those that do not enjoy that format can simply fast forward. Keep it up!
@southmainauto The hoodie is really really...... PLAYER

Agreed. I'm here to learn and reading a wiring diagram is vital! Thanks Mr O!

Thanks as always for sharing your experience with us!
Couldn't have said it better!!!
i agree i love watching and learning the process not just the repair
I don't even mind the, you can't see anything on camera, but I can feel it here....
This is why this is the best channel on you tube for electrical diagnosis (if you want body repairs try vehcor)
Eric, just so you know , rural independent shops in Georgia are now at 135 per hour.
Not a single one of your videos are ever dumb Mr.O. they are all very educational and we all love the commentary. Keep at it ole son.
To you it's just another grounding fault, but to the viewers it's another good lesson that drives the message home. There'll still be plenty of views.
My takeaway from this video is that if the crappy plastic engine cover isn't going over it's retainers properly, dab your finger in a random pool of oil and smear it on them.
I got here because of you Big Clive, thanks.
Right? Definitely keeping some spilled oil handy next time I'm working on my car 😄
Works good on squeaky belts too 😏
@@SouthMainAuto Does it work on tight belts because the buckle on mine is digging into my gut.
@@goingjagMe too.

I myself really like the troubleshooting, without cuts, just like this video. Great job as always!
What a way to wake up! It always amazes me how some shops can even stay open without having the simplest of diagnostic skills.

Also, those “bundle stiffeners” in a wire harness might help guard against tiny wire chaffing/ positioning but sure seem to be “wonderful” at wicking moisture into the harness as well.
And if you don't, you can just jump over the "ahhs" and "lemmi get this outta the ways."
Next time I have to remove the starter on my cavalier, I'm replacing the hot wire octopus stud with a bus bar away from the cooling fan.
He's the best in the Business in Auto Repair, as I have been watching this Pro for weeks. I would hire him any day, no shadow of a doubt!

I like it when you take us through the process, not just to the end result, in response to your, "I don't know what you...like...." comment.
There is not such thing as a stupid video from SMA, every video provides valuable information that someone will need sooner or later. 👍🏼
We can take he stupid video and use them out side to other problems we come across
Well he does expose the stupid design of manufacturer. Lets take apart the engine so we can replace the neural safety switch on a 4 wheeler.......
Eric O none of your videos are dumb, we learn by repetition and vicariously through you.
Eric, it's crazy to me that other shops seem to not have a clue. You have a no-nonsense approach that is refreshing to see. I understand so much more about diag and can use this against other shops to keep from getting ripped off. 😊
I enjoy the entire diagnosis process especially when you reveal that you are human by trying to use the wrong socket on a bolt. Awesome.
I bought a 2007 Jeep Wrangler. It was loaded with active codes and ran like crap, so I got it for a good price. I've been using an Autel for years (way cheaper than buying a New car) so I plug it in and what do you know. I had it fixed in one weekend and it runs beautiful. Gotta have the tools and equipment if your serious about fixing stuff. God Bless you Eric for getting me into modern tech diagnostics.. I miss the old days Sir.
You say it's a waste, but you're STILL teaching everyone how to diagnose. Good job!
I lost ground to my running & signal bulbs, but thanks to you, Eric, I went in, soldered in new lugs, reconnected & sprayed some sheep-dip and... Bob's your uncle!
Thanks for all you do for us DIY'ers!

love the wound up version of the 'O'. Makes a simple lost ground into a elevated grins and giggles show and tell. Thanks for sharing Boss .......
As someone who struggles with electrical diag, I appreciate these type of videos. Thank you

Eric, keep up with the live diagnostic videos. How you find things helps me as much if not more than what you find. Nice peanut reference. Thanks as always
I like when you go through the diagrams. When you go through the process we get the whole story and the logic behind the problem.
Yes please show the process. That's the one thing about your channel that no other channel does. Thanks for all the awesome videos you put out Eric! Keep it up!
14:00 "I'm gonna do the best that I can".......that sounds perfect.
Can a Jeep Compass get lost?
All jokes aside. You are an excellent automotive technician. I don’t know what your rates are but I’m pretty sure you’re the right man to take a troublesome car to. Without the proper test equipment and knowledge a shade tree mechanic can spend more to chase a problem than pay you to fix it the first time.
Is a Ford Probe only for gynecologists?
I like the live diagnosing. Electrical is far from my strong suit so I like learning from the best your processes, it helps me refine mine!
Mrs O cracks me up! 😂 All your videos are great, Eric.
I agree with 99% of all the other viewers. Show the process! If you don’t show how to properly diagnose a problem then how can anyone learn how to do it themselves.

I do appreciate when you scroll through the screens. Though it makes a video shorter to not show that, it helps us backyard mechanics understand where/how to find the info.
Keep up the videos!
I like these broken wire or ground vids. My favorite is battery terminal replacement
Eric, it seems like you're the only mechanic in your area that knows what you're doing, and can actually do it! You've got multiple other shops sending you their job, because they're ignorant of how to solve the problems themselves!!
I don't really learn much coming here but I sure enjoy watching the process. Thanks Eric!
If you don’t learn much, you either a) know it all already, b) are not working in this field or c) are not really paying attention 🤣😂🤣
I like coming along for the ride rather than the prepared pre-research. Thank you!
The talents of the mechanic are LEGENDARY.....and as always, the commentary is PRICELESS !!
I love the live diagnosis/problem solving. That's part of what I love about your videos, a lot of other channels skip that.
I like your live thorough diagnosis for us dummies that doesn't own a fancy scanner and have the experience.
It never ceases to amaze me how often a perceived major issue turns out to be a bad ground connection. I remember those FRAM commercials where the guy says, "Of course, the choice is yours. You can pay me now or - cha-CHING! -pay me later!"
19:55 "your lights' not gonna come back on" Famous last words... In a Chrysler! 😂
Not only did you "CUT IT ON", but you used it's own "fluids" to lube up the "plastic cover snaps" - omg - totally awesome!!! Oh - and you fixed the issue - double win!
Power, ground, component… multiple codes find the common denominator. Not likely multiple things have failed.
Great video sir!
Featuring the often complicated hunt to find the problem is one reason why I like your channel a lot! Finding engine torque had shredded a wire recently was one of your best.
I have seen so many of your lack of ground videos that i just put in my ear buds and watch for the green puss that we all enjoy seeing .

Love watching your diagnostic process, please keep them coming!
I enjoy seeing you tracing the schematics and showing how they connect to each other.
I’m guessing the only reason any auto mechanic shop within a 50 mile radius of SMA is getting any business is because Eric O is booked solid.

That’s the true way you know you’re a professional - thanks for taking us along and teaching us!!
By all means continue showing the diagnostic process. That's what the channel is all about, if I say so myself. Well, that and the much-anticipated cameo appearances by Mrs. O and Luna.

4:42 I prefer to see the process of going through the service data, I'm an automotive student and it's very helpful to see it.

Another real-life diagnosis of a common electrical problem. I love it. Great work again. I find it fascinating that these car companies can still have ground quality issues after making cars for over a hundred years. Really you car companies guys can't figure it out yet? WTH
Showing all the steps you go through Mr. O, is exactly what we need to know to enhance our troubleshooting knowledge. Always happy to incorporate your expertise into my own jobs... makes it easier for me.... so THANKS!
Just do it the proper way, solder and heat shrink.
Your diagnosis is awesome. Finish the job right!!!
Great job, thanks for taking us along.
I enjoy following your thought process and diagnosis. I learn every time I watch these.
Watching the process is much better, in my opinion. I like to hear other techs approaches. I can always learn something new.
I like these "Sherlock Homes" type videos, and you doing it live is just fine with me. A pleasure to watch a great mind at work. I was amazed at how fast you figured out the problem. Thank you! P.S., Coffee doesn't sit well with me either.
...and hey, that puddle of oil came in handy to make the lid slip back on. Keep it up, we all learn something from them all! 👍
Hello Eric & Mrs O: Eric you may be slightly modest about your instructive abilities. I think you like most really good teachers do not realize the gift you give to others. People learning without knowig they have been taught is a gift you give them. Please keep up the great work. This viewer will keep watchi g and learning along the way.
Love the live! It’s all about the diag process!
5:06 Mr O. I genuinely appreciate you going through the process step by step as you go. Your methods and processes are excellent and always helpful to learn from. I like getting to see it live, and can take your process and apply it to other wiring/car issues.
Thanks for what you do! Your neighborhood is lucky to have you!
Before you commit to flying lessons you need to think how much is it going to cost you. Sometimes it is worth it. Love your channel.
Just watched another repair guy spend hours in the diagrams before doing the visual inspection. All the time I’m yelling at the UA-cam that Eric would have done a visual inspection long ago and saved a bunch of time.
Dear Mr. O, Long time subscriber. Thanks for the videos. Thought I would share with you. Your troubleshooting training class has paid off for me, I just fixed a stereo power amp. Visual inspection! Love Always
Another happy customer. Not a stupid or boring video at all . I like your trouble thinking process and we all learn from you. Keep the camera rolling. Aaron from Canada.
Any bad ground nightmares yet? Never a stupid video, always learning,so many variables involved on each job,keep up the good work,take care.
You need to warn us before Mrs O comes in with the double entendre. Too funny, spilled my coffee everywhere.
Bring on the "dumb" videos. We love them. And doing it live is great, I love seeing the whole process.
The other shop was on the right track in cleaning the ground, just didn't check for the green crusty, poor observation, thanks Eric for another lesion in the importance of a GOOD GROUND.
Never a stupid video, watching your thought process is helpful.
Being well grounded is a good attribute to have. Referring to a person who is stable, practical, and level-headed. A grounded individual is reliable and down-to-earth, with a clear understanding of their priorities. Thank you, Mr. 'O' for being well, 'grounded'.
