    In December I bought my late uncle's CHEVROLET (in the SMA voice) Silverado from my grandfather. The money light was on, so I used my ThinkDiag phone app and saw it had some circuit codes for ambient air temp sensor among others. Visual inspection revealed a mouse had chewed through the wires right at the MAF sensor connector. A quick run to a local you-pull-and -pay, and use of crimp & seal connectors, everything was fixed. Felt like I was recording an SMA video the whole time.

      Every dealership is owned by a thief ripping every customer off. $70 for a .50 cent connection. I hope they all go broke and vehicles sold thru a broker only. No dealership repair shop. Those are useless anyway because they can’t do anything but INTENTIONALLY throw expensive over priced parts and $150+ per of ignorant labor at a vehicle. Never use a dealership repair shop because most of the so called “ technicians? lol” can’t pull their own weight at an independent shop. There supposed certifications are a fricking joke anyway.

    My son bought a 95 Camaro last summer, and there was a wicked vibration / noise when he turned on the heat. Didn't really have a smell to it, just noisy. I told him it was likely mouse house in the blower motor.
    When I went in, as soon as I dropped the cover at the bottom of the dash, there was mouse house everywhere, and the obligatory chewed up wiring. I cleaned up, fixed the wiring, and continued to drop the blower motor. First time in my life I've seen it, there wasn't a mouse house in the blower, there was mouse jerky in there. That little guy was about as dried up as he could get. I handed my son the blower and told him jerky removal was on him lol.

He checked to make sure that the BCM recognized the new sensor, it did. He removed the bolts from the sensor to read the part number, forgetting that the vehicle was running. When he flipped the sensor over, all airbags deployed. The look on his face was priceless.

  • @andrewhigdon8346
    @andrewhigdon8346 11 місяців тому +1

    The ESC system works like a champ. The ONLY adversary to beat any and all types of ABS or stability control is gravel on a solid substrate. It’s like stopping on marbles. My first butt clincher was in a rental Mustang in SoCal when my passenger requested a quick stop at a picturesque overlook right above the beaches in Malibu. With regular old school brakes this stop would have been a non-issue. The tires will quickly build a loose wheel chock/ramp in front of them, hasting a stop pretty quickly. When they aren’t allowed to stop turning if another one is still turning, the foundation of ABS, it might not stop anytime soon if the surface is made of things that roll under your rollers. An otherwise easy stop on a cliff overlook became a real deal button clincher where I actually turned the wheels enough that the sidewall started to make the aforementioned “wheel chock”, bringing us to a halt a mere half-car length from the EDGE. At first I was t sure whether to get out and darks it off, or try to back up first. My wife, in the passenger seat, would not be getting out right there. I had to shake it off for a second and see exactly what predicament we were in. Backing up required disabling the stability control because the back tires would stop turning just when we were getting out of the newly made front wheel gravel hole. Dammit. I wasn’t used to any of these systems. The goofball sized rocks were pummeling the underside of the rental Mustang convertible. Thank god for FULL coverage, as if anyone would be looking under the car anytime soon. Seriously though. It truly felt like we were going over. Ever since then I’ve hated ABS on loose surfaces. But did I learn from the first time. Apparently not. While showing off in my newish Dodge Magnum RT, at the time about six months old, some coworkers/friends were gathered on the curb at the rear of our workplace which had a massive parking lot. My intention was to haul ass towards the curb, and stop well before the curb, obviously, and with my over analyzing ways, I applied heavy braking at a point TWICE what I KNEW a safe distance. Why had t I noticed how much gravel was in that last 50’? The front of my baby hit that curb with a gut wrenching thud. I backed up and transmission fluid from the cooler was everywhere, the radiator was pushed back, and the bumper covers was wrecked. Dammit. My friends were just happy I didn’t jump the curb. It was a tallish curb, maybe ten inches. Damn. That was humiliating, but I learned a lesson. At that, no one believed my claim that the tires did in fact lock up, and this pissed me off , because I knew in my heart that I should have been able to stop EASILY, and that it was the car’s fault. So, after insurance footed the repair bill, and I finally picked up my car to drive home, once on the interstate, the front wheel s were literally bouncing, and even shook part of the belly pan loose, where I had to pull off and zip tie it up to drive back to the dealership who did the final touches on the car. A tire inspection and balance reveal a huge flat spot on each tire, both nearly identical. As if the car had been dragged backwards maybe 100’ with both front tires locked. Which of course didn’t happen. But I did slide about 75’ on gravel, wheels locked, and no one believed me, until the tires themselves told the truth. Funny, no one seemed to care to further investigate how dangerous that situation could be. It was just a show off who crashed his car. Then why huge flat spots? Too bad I can’t “turn off” the “giving a shit” switch. I impairs nearly my every waking moment.

    As much hate as they get, the only connectors on my camper that haven't corroded (or at least started corroding) are the 2 crimp and seal connectors where I had to splice some wires a friend's dog chewed underneath. Crimped, heat shrunk, and electrical taped for good measure.
    I did just learn that Wago makes waterproof (IPx8) covers for their connectors too. Had to replace a 3 way connection where the factory used those blasted guillotine connectors and the trailer brake wires rotted off where they were pierced, unsurprisingly. Good, waterproof, 3 way connectors are hard to find so I slapped a couple Wagos and some electrical tape on temporarily and then found out they actually just make gel-filled covers that clip over them and seal them water tight. We'll see how well they hold up under there, but I can't imagine them being any worse than the factory ones that barely made it a year.
    Also, I remembered the 'ol pull on the wire to see if it's corroded internally trick you use so often and found the wires on one of the other wheels were corroded too. I keep finding uses for these nice tricks you're teaching us Eric.

    Jeep actually stands for the descriptive initials of the vehicle GP. Those stand for “Garaged Permanently”, especially since Chrysler bought them.

    Only thing I have found for mice is 2 oz. of Peppermint oil in a gallon of water, spray her down under hood, wheel wells etc. Do it every two weeks. Had a real battle on a Prius. New car only got hit once plus keep an electronic trap on inside for insurance. I heartily agree with you on mice issues! Keep up the good work!

    Soldering a wire work hardens the metal and makes it more brittle. Thus, the soldered connection is more prone to breakage inside the environment of a vehicle that is subjected to vibration. Particularly any wire harness that goes from the chassis to moving components like the engine, transaxle, and suspension. The only wire connections you'll find that are soldered in a vehicle wiring harness is inside of a connector that has been potted with resin to stabilize the soldered the connection. For all other splicing applications a mechanical crimped and heat shrink connection is the recommended splicing method.

    I like watching your channel and Ivan's Pine Hollow auto diagnostics channel. One thing I like about yours is that you just go straight to the problem and see if the wires are damaged. Ivan would have hooked the car up to the computer and spent a lot of time diagnosing it before first looking to see if there's something obvious.

    Always nice when you can see the problem. I got one of these in a couple months ago, no comm with the ABS module at all. Tested powers, grounds, and scoped the data wires at the module. Everything checked out, tried it again and communication was back with a U0125. I suspected my testing at the module connector had restored communication and maybe the connector was corroded or had loose pins, but after thorough testing that was not the case. The ABS module just took a nap for a while.
    The sensor seems simple enough, power, ground, two data wires all going to the ABS module. Removed the center console to access the sensor. Scoped the data wires and had a stable signal. And you were right, it's definitely not a LIN bus. Looks just like the CAN signal I had previously tested at the ABS module. This one had no power to the dynamic sensor.
    I assumed the wiring was just damaged, but I tested those two violet wires directly at the ABS module and had nothing. The power wire wasn't shorted to ground and had continuity from the module to the sensor. Scoped the power wire and at key on it gets up to about 6 volts for a split second before dropping back to zero forever. I'm assuming that KOEO the sensor should have 12 volts across those wires. Sadly OnDemand doesn't tell you for sure what voltages you should see on those wires. It only tell you to do ohm testing from the sensor to the module.
    My final conclusion was that the ABS module is defective, based on the intermittent communication and lack of power supply to that sensor. Ended up shipping it because I don't have any way to program a new module. A little research shows they are failure prone. I don't suppose you tested the voltages on those wires did you? Would be good to know if it gets a constant supply from the module KOEO. Though I can't imagine how it would work any other way.

    You know Eric, I have those exact exact crimpencio wire connectors. They were awesome. I actually got the same wire stripper that you have and the crimpin seal. I bought them from. You're a recommendation and I am not disappointed at all. They work as you say they do. And for those out there, they haters and the people that question it. IA small package of them. You'll see how they work and I guarantee you they will be. Long time buyers after just one try Matt from Michigan.
