Thank you for this video
thanks for the support!
Thank you Scotty you're awesome
lol don't buy these inferior overpriced items . Scotty store is an endless money put full of snake oil items ...Rev up your lawsuits!!!!!
these dolphins were treated like kings and queens, and were allowed out into the ocean too. If someone fed me, petted me, and let me out into the carribean for swims, think I'd be happy.
i used to laugh at your videos, But this laughing have developed into some kind of love. I love your videos so much Scotty.

Salem Al Ketbi back up hes mine!!
He’s like a brother that’s why we love him I think
صحيح كلامك
Sus alert
Honestly the akward things you do at the end of your how to videos keeps me coming back hahaha
Next year you will have been fixing cars for about 50 years. You are a legend!! Congrats!!
That's very thoughtful of you. Scotty makes a video to help other people and they bite his hand. What a world we live in.
I watched a plumber attempt to replace a fuel pump. Somehow he created an arc with the car's electrical system, just when he got the fuel lines disconnected and lit the gasoline on fire. From there it degraded to cartoon comical. He started pushing the truck away from the fire, but as he pushed the gas kept dribbling out of the fuel lines and followed the truck clear across a very large parking lot. Eventually he ran out of parking lot, and the truck was totally destroyed by fire. The fiberglass ladders were melted onto the ladder racks, and all his other tools also burned along with his truck. After seeing that, I disconnect the battery before I do ANYTHING, more involved than changing a tire.
DAMN Thats something on the three stooges
Imagine your whip catches fire while removing the wheels. 🤣🤣🤣
O my! Did someone pay you for that truck, like car insurance or that plumber insurance? Thank you for posting. I also plan to change the fuel pump, and keep what you described here in mind.
You know Scott, we think you should have a TV show about fixing own car. Just like or similar to Cesar Milan the dog whisperer.
+Vincent Rodriguez Scotty Kilmer, The Car Whisperer.
Yeah 👊🏼
+Vincent Rodriguez give him a contract
He used to have a tv show
I'm surprised Scotty hasn't pinned this
Wow 8 years ago was so much more seriousness, unlike today. We love Scotty's furious hands we've all become accustomed to! True legend 👑
I admit that I have done the stripping the wire testing many times, but I use a can of brush-on insulation when I'm finished. I also have a set of test probes that I have sharpened that I use for heavier wire. I really like the tool you used. Thanks, I really appreciate you taking the time to help everyone out.
Skotty, you are 1 kool guy and easy to understand. I have learned lots from you and now my neighbors come to me to fix their cars. Thank You
Best to remove the negative cable from the batty. first. Then there is no problem with accidentally grounding the terminals with
the wrench.
grassroot011 yeah that ones not fun. Seen a frend drop a wrench that was stuck when it sparked and it just continued to bounce and spark till we cut the cable
3:04 There's a squirl on the roof to the top right
you can see the squirrel scurry across from the left a few seconds before
Bruh
only a real pro could drill it out without damaging the entire assembly. I've tried myself, and it never worked
Wise words from a true master mechanic. We love your vids and tips/advice, Thanks. from Vancouver Island, BC
Thank you sr for being so generous shareing your macanic skills with us ,god bless you and your family.
Love your videos , Scotty. would you agree that the most difficult repairs are often fixing some one else's repair ?
+prydonian460 YES, if they screwed up electronic parts
+Scotty Kilmer I'm a diesel mechanic(heavy duty) and I agree with scotty, the absoulte worst feeling is when you take a dash out of a truck, or maybe even something smaller, you see a blue wire headed to a black one. Not a fun situation chasing wires all day.

Rubber gloves are deffinitley better than going in bare handed, to protect against ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) damage, but if you're going to be touching bare circuit boards, and want to be safe, you should take the same precautions that you should take when working on computers, and actually try as hard as you can NOT to insulate yourself. Touch bare metal before starting work, and every time you walk away and come back to discharge any static electricity in your body, or get a grounding bracelet, that will discharge any static charge before it can fry circuits.
Where does one buy a grounding bracelet ?
aliexpress, ebay, amazon, electronics stores, make it yourself
BEEEEEEEP!
Nice video as always. The battery part being disconnected has been discussed in prior videos. I didn't realize that static electricity would be present in our own bodies, enough to transmit a harmful charge to a cars computer. I learned something there. Gloves are always helpful. My pc repair guy says never use a vacuum cleaner on a tv or pc because of static electricity as well. The voltage demo was also helpful, as well as the wire one too.
dont matter which battery connector you remove??????? first thing a car mechanic learns is to take of first the negative connector. most of the cars are chassis grounded. when you have the negative connector on and you take of the positive connector and you hit the body with your spanner it ARCS. there for always take of the negetive connector first!!!! ( at body grounded cars).
you disconnect either battery cable, no power is sent to the car. So unless you're an idiot and then go shorting things out with spanners in the wrong place, it doesn't matter. I have no sympathy for idiots messing with things they shouldn't be.
Scotty Kilmer this has nothing to do with idots shorting things. . when you turn loosen the postive pole first and puttung the spanner on it and turn it arround it is very easy to touch a other metal part at the car. It is commonce to always unhook the battery by disconnecting the negative pole first.
and since most of the people who watch your channel are not really pro carmechanics, i think you should point out such important things.
mercedesw124centrum Been there, done it. The mercedesw124 speaks the truth.
Very good tips. Thank you. Used to make some of this mistakes. Love your videos. Very informative.
Suck Up.
Chill Razzy.

Hopefully it wasn't made on a MX5
Not sure if youve been told this before, but you are a Legend SK.
Another great vid Scotty on a very good topic. Also your vid closing scenes are great too. Thanks for your very helpful vids.
Rubber gloves will not prevent ESD... in fact they will cause it. As others here have pointed out, rubber gloves are insulators; and insulators are dielectrics. They store potential static electricity. I believe rubber in particular stores a negative charge, so its just waiting for you to touch something that already has a positive charge. Your best bet would be a grounding strap. Even a bare wire wrapped around your wrist and then fixed a bolt running into the frame of the vehicle would be fairly sufficient.
I like you Mr. Scotty Kilmer. You are the solution to my car problem.
but scotty, how do i fix my dolphin
With a bullet.
Ox kek
Bring that dolphin to my place I’ll take a look at him and his blowhole
Well if anything goes wrong. You can always have a dolphin sandwich for a lunch.
You should do a video on the brand of tools you use and what your thoughts are on other brands of tools like matco, snapon, craftsman, harbor freight, etc.
Thank you Scotty I picked up 4 great tips from this vid alone. Thumbs up for all your vids.
Glad to hear it thanks for the support
Yes, it certainly can if you're using eletrical welding and not gas welding
yes, good idea with big sound system, they just use smaller gauge wires when making the cars cause it costs less to do so.
Check your main relay... It sends voltage to the fuel pump. Sometimes the solder joints dry out, and when they're hot they expand and the joints in the solder can crack. Sometimes they can be re-soldered; but it's best and easiest to just replace it.
- Faulty Ignition Switch
- Ignition Switch harness is open or shorted
- Ignition Switch circuit poor electrical connection
Help with Possible causes Help with this
When is the code detected?
Whne the BCM detects a short to ground in the circuit or a short to battery or an open in the circuit when the switch is in the OFF position.
One thing I learned about fixing cars is fix what's wrong and don't fix anything else just because it's apart. For example one time I installed new piston rings and decided to install new rod bearings simply because I had it apart. I didn't measure the bearings and didn't know the crank had been turned. The new bearings were too thin and I ended up ruining the crank.
this is why i love scotty....not only can he fix cars but he can kill trolls too!
0:54 Actually, tell people to remove the negative connection first. Sometimes removing the positive side first can lead to scary fireworks. Someone using a wrench may move their wrench toward a metal component and poof! There goes a chunk out of your wrench or, boom if the battery is putting off fumes or gasoline fumes from the engine compartment. Also, on many diesel engine vehicles, you'll have two batteries and, removing the positive lead first can cause a problem too if someone pushes the end of the battery clamp out of the way into an area of exposed metal...boom.
Thanks Scotty on the gloves just never thought of that one.
sounds like your engine has flat blown up, rods can knock holes in the pan and water will get in the spark plugs when engines blow
Im an electronics systems engineer familiar with servicing solid state electronics .
Static protective gloves are of a special construction , conductive fiber impregnated with grounding straps. You won't find them in an autoparts or drug store.
That vinyl and rubber are good insulators makes them excellent static electric accumulators . A tiny bit of sweat is enough to bring the static potential charge if a 'rubber ' glove up to the same static potential as your body. Wearing conventional vinyl, urethabe, nitrile or rubber gloves increases risk of static being generated and duscharged.
A car can acquire a much larger static charge than a person, simply by being insulated from ground by tires and driving down the road.
Because static electricity can flow in either direction between objects depending on their relative charges, protecting car electronics against static discharges actually requires two steps to bring and maintain everything at the same static vltage level. IDEALLY THIS IS ZERO, EARTH POTENTIAL.. It need not be, or repairs to satelliites by orbiter astronauts would be impossible.
Because a mechanic will make intermittent contact with things outside the vehicke as he works on one, he needs to take precautions which dont involve rubber gloves.
First, a static grounding strap around a wrist or ankle, attached on the other end to one of the vehicles grounding lugs. Second, a ground wired from the same grounding lug to an earth ground.
High humidity is no protection against static discharge, though it may speed charge bleedoff through the moist air.

lol that explains why in my computer repair class back in high school the teacher would insist on how important those gloves were, but never give them to us when we opened up "junk" laptops and stuff....I thought it was safety precaution for the people and he just didn't care.
+xinic5 You've probably realized by now that few teachers view their primsry responsibility as that of preparing students to function effectively in the real world. What happens outside the classroom stays outside the classroom, except when panicking capacious adults decide it's in THEIR best interest to change the rules and keep students in their chikdish roles as kinderchattel.
The concept of best practices isn't incorporated into the curiculum. Teachers aren't held to it, students don't learn it. You are taught no more than what the curriculum guide says, and more often than not, much, much less, as time is wasted observing politically correct fads, "holidays", revisionist history and other totally useless garbage that doesn't educate you, teach you to think, or prepare you to functionas an adult.
Under some conditions, you can get away without wearing a ground strap. Those conditions are high humidity IKEA USAand/or a rock solid habit of holding onto a part of a computer chassis that is part of its internal ground system. The latter is what's called motor memory, acquired only with high repetition practice. A production line worker might learn it, a shop student doesn't have the opportunity in a class environment.
In the case of portable electronics, it's harder, because the chassis is floating without a ground connection. Cars are relatively isolated from ground, and if driven a long distance in dry cold weather, you can get a strong visible discharge if you stand outside and touch part of the metal body. That's the reason gas stations have warning signs about filling gas cans outside of a vehicle.
Best practices and the inability to have perfect recall or develop motor memory for every situation is why astronauts follow checkkists (and communication with cperts ehen possible for EVA operations, including grounding precautions during electronics system repairs. When your life depends on keeping their habitat working, and repairing breakdowns correctly the first time, they don't do "good enough" work.
If you are working on a modern car with highly integrated electronics, your work has a direct effect on the safety of the operator. Even if that will be you, ESPECIALLY if that will be you, follow best practices and do the job right.

Well the laptops were really old junk laptops that didn't work, so what I meant was that it didn't matter if they messed up even more, as they'd likely never be fixed. They were used just as examples of what a laptop looks like inside.
The teacher actually was a pretty nice teacher who loved what he taught, but we was *too* nice. He allowed students to do whatever they wanted, and only choose to focus on those who showed interest in the class. He didn't seem capable of teaching an entire class. I was one of those students he focused on, but was always hesitant to ask for help to better understand stuff.
I remember putting a remote control car together and getting stuck pretty early on and giving up. I also really wanted to learn how to solder stuff, but seem to only burn everything...lol
+xinic5 A person can act nicely without being good. A person can love a subject without truly mastering it , without loving teaching, without loving students.
IMO, there are no "nice teachers". There are people who act nicely, and people who can teach. There are some people who act nicely, and are stupid, incompetent, ignorant, or evil. Similarly, there are no "nice students".
Teachers are competent in a subject or not, competent at teaching students how to use their aptitudes to learn or not, and capable of presenting subject material in an interesting manner to a general audience or not.
A good teacher must be a good learner. Mastering learning requires some intelligence, some aptitudes, some physical abilities, many learned skills, and a willingness to learn. A good teacher must master a comprehensive set of learning skills and be able to teach a set of them to each student that fits that students' abilities, aptitudes and intelligence.
It's possible to be an excellent student, a master of a subject, and enthusiastic about that subject without being a good teacher. Being able to only teach to a small subset of students already enthusiastic about that subject is called "Preaching to the choir".
A good teacher is an evangelist of his subject. If you are lucky, you will have a few good teachers during your first 12 gears in school, and if you are extremely lucky, you will find a "choir" that fits you.
If not, you will need how to teach yourself how to learn, and develop a healthy level of skepticism about what you are being spoon-fed by edu-fakers.
fixed thousands of pcs, never wore any of that crap.
I wasn't even thinking of that, but it is pretty funny.
someone use one of those power probing testing devices when my hitch was hooked up. and within a year the wires corroded and stopped working. I suggest to never brake the wire always try to find where a connector is and use that to test. you wouldn't scratch your car to test the paint would you. so don't brake a wire coating.
Agreed ! I strive not to break insulation but if I do it will be resealed.
I prefer to remove the negative battery cable first. If you try to remove the positive, it's easy to have the metal wrench make contact with the frame, which is grounded.
Thanks for some great tips yet again Scotty.Sorry for my comment for not believeing in your equipment and knowlege in an earlier episode.
I love how old Scotty vids just look like John Lennon is teaching you how to fix your car

you need the special ford tool to do it. Sometimes places like auto zone loan em out free with directions.
not really, don't buy another one if you don't like their styling, BUT, go to look at other new ones and if they aren't that way, the dealer is bullshitting you and they made that one wrong. Realize sentras are a bottom line car and they don't pay that much attention to detail making them.
that's an old wive's tale. Doesn't matter which one you remove first, you are breaking the circuit either way. And when connecting them back on, you are reconnecting the circuit, again, it doesn't matter which way as the circuit itself flows the same direction either way.
sure, I've seen guys fry out many modules on cars by handling the connectors with bare hands in the dry winter weather. realize they only use a 5 volt signal on many wires, you send static electricity down one that goes to the computer, Wham.
not my vette, it sat in the owner's garage for 16 years and that's how it smoked when restarted eventually. It no longer does, but it makes for a great intro, it would be lame if there was no smoke. Fire and brimstone.
Yeah. Blew the starter fuse because I didn't disconnect the battery. Had to ride my bike about 5 miles to buy another. Won't do that again!!
JesusRockstarRedux ...how would i knw if i blew the starter fuse
Now that is true Jesus rockstar redux style there!

Really good info - as always - Thanks Scotty !
Scotty, I love your videos but one point I have to disagree with is to disconnect the battery. Some vehicles such as my 2004 GMC Envoy have electronic throttle bodies and when you lose power to them the PCM forgets where to keep the TB at idle and can stall it out until it learns it again. Also if its a dirty TB it can act erratically so just pointing this out. Otherwise great video!
Yes, but people are always asking questions all over the place, and I try to respond as best I can.
Only if you are made of metal. You can lick the battery terminal with your tongue on one side and hold onto the other terminal and nothing will happen. Just don't try that with 112 volts
The dolphin was more excited to meet Scotty because it has some car troubles
that was the porpoise of them meeting:) -or was it because it was a "Bottle Nose"?
blame my parents, they created me. I've always been this way.
yes, that would do that. if it's off time and retarded timing, it would have little pick up. If off time but advanced timing, engine would clang when accelerating
power probe II
Seafoam can be hard on the catalytic converter but maybe not. You can try hot water thru the brake bleeder air hose or throttle body, very very very slowly and carefully while the engine is hot. It'll steam clean the engine without using chemicals. But be very very very very careful
Rubber gloves don't help with static, they are insulators so they can better accumulate charge. Instead ground yourself .. but this is not much of an issue with anything less than 10 years old because modern electronics are much less sensitive to stray static.
One thing I would add to this video is, put towels on your front quarters and seats so you don't dirty them or scratch them while working.
Also heat your fasteners if they don't loosen up right away
all I know is when I used to touch cars in the dry winter with bare hands, I'd get a shock. With the gloves on , it doesn't happen.
use magnets, not too strong ones. They will fall off the body areas.
some mechanics they are. If you're in the houston area, e mail me for an appt, but if not, find a better mechanic, that's what we get paid to do, fix them. Often a dealer level scan computer is needed, so find a guy with one like me.
There's a few possibilities... It's possible your car "noticed" the belt slipping, and turned on the CEL. Or water was slung onto something in the engine.... Just reset the computer by disconnecting the battery. Or take it to any auto parts store. Have them read the code, and reset the computer.
just google "auto electrical self piercing probe" and take your pick, they all work the same and prices vary immensely.
I already have, "a great tool for fixing electrical problems."
"Rubber is a good insulator." Truer words have never been spoken, Scotty! lol
you'd have to explain more, do you mean pick up truck, distributor ignition pick up assembly, or pick up a mess?
I lived there decades ago, but it's a bit of a drive now. I will be in niagara falls though on thanksgiving.
yes, no working room on those, not a fun car to change the spark plugs on. all that stuff has to come off.
just making the belts slip from water can trip that code. Just have it reset, pray it does not come back.
I do not talk to cars. BUT, I do swear at them a lot. Especially German cars. I swear at them in German.
that's not true. Once power is disconnected, nothing can flow, there's no power behind the electricity. Voltage powers it, with no cable on, either one, nothing can flow.
yes, things sometimes will need resetting, BUT if you don't do this and ruin a thousand dollar computer because of power shorting out, that small resetting procedure will seem like nothing.
what an intelligent comment. Can I have your autograph? Perhaps you like breaking things.
Thanks so much for your videos. They are extremely helpful.
You should always disconnect the battery ground first and hook it up last, in case your wrench touches anything metal on the car. The metal parts are the same polarity as the ground terminal.
Why is there so much smoke coming out of the exhaust of your Vette?
some do, but some don't, depends on the models, some use even less, some use more.
how to not make mistakes by doing these procedures when working on car's electronics
they use all kind of different voltages, some use 5 some 4, some even less. Depends on the model.

Great video Scotty
Thats why I just buy a 500 dollar beater every few years and just run it into the ground...
That's why I buy a new car every 5-7 years
^or that... if you have the money. between that car payment and full coverage you pay as much in a month as i do in 3 years but you get to enjoy things like heat and ac lol
im just jealous cause im a broke bitch .. i mean no offense
+Bobbo Tron Making money is easy. Just join the military for 4+ years so you can get a free ride into the military, then get in college for 4 more years and hope that your passionate about something that pays really well, then graduate and attend a better college for a post graduate degree for 2 more years, then go compete with people 10 years younger for the same job that pays really really well, get through the 5 rounds of interviews. Lastly while you are in that job work you mind off coming up with solutions and get some recognition...You see how easy it is to get a really good job...wait that wasn't easy for me to do. Never mind...LOL
+I meant to say a free ride for college (above)
when that light comes on, it means the charging system is below the needed level. So, either you have a really bad battery, got a bad alternator, or the wiring going to the alternator is bad.
lol I hate it when wax gets stuck around your emblems
Wet q-tip, try it get it before the wax dries! Simple, easy, and cheap! Keep it in a small cup of water, and you can make a 1 q-tip go around the whole car.
Log Elm mini paint brush!! Charm
yes, if you're working on nothing but computer circuits on a bench, static will build up. But working on a car, you're always touching metal on the car and build up would be minimal on the gloves
starter solenoid won't work like that, cause starter gets super hot running the car from engine heat and would still act up, even in winter. I would assume bad computer circuit or module.
Hi Scotty , as a 56 year old , I now repeat to myself , before I go to work on my Car
, If its not broken don`t fix it ! god how many times have I not listened to that advice .
But I am getting better , its starting to get cold here in Scotland , better check the Anti-freeze for my Kilt !
That's funny. Awhile ago I was trying to pull a heater core hose I believe. (I can't really remember what) Anyways I wasn't paying attention when pulling on it and ended up breaking my cruise control cable. What sucks is I can't find a new one anywhere. I haven't looked too hard. In the end I just cut the end of the hose off because it was STUCK!
get thicker ones like I have, they are called safegrip, google that
This guy reminds me of Doc. Brown (Back to the Future). I like his videos.
not my vette, it's in florida now. Sat 16 years unused in a garage
As rubber gloves are insulators, they can be charged with static electricity, or in other words non flowing electricity. The difference with a conductor, is that conductors allow electricity to flow where as insulator only store static if you rub something like a cloth on them. A good example is rubbing a rubber balloon on your hair which will build up static electricity to the balloon and can transfer it to other conductors if touched. So its not necessarily a good idea to use rubber gloves.
you would have to sand it down to bare metal and prime the metal with corrosion resisting coating. Then bondo over it and paint it
