Ughhh it sucks being sick but this was about a month ago back in Feb. This job takes a little bit of a turn about a month later so stand by.... 😏 -Eric O.
Eric, this is the reason we all watch your videos! Even not feeling good you always work the problem, not allowing the problem to work you! Thanks you and your great Family for letting us see your wisdom!
Damn thieving dealerships have the worst so called “technicians?” that just throw parts at it BECAUSE they get commission while the dealership rapes the customer. SOP for them. I’ve seen the proof on different family members that are dumb enough to go to a “ stealership “. I wished Eric lived in my town
As a Ford tech who specializes in electrical and networking, words cannot describe how much love and respect I have for Eric. He ain’t afraid of testing rather than guessing and getting a vehicle repaired properly. Can’t wait for him to encounter a newer super duty with so many “non-serviceable” relays inside of the BJB. Cheers from Florida, Eric!
i've been out of the field for about 13 years now, in my experience ford has a pretty bad record with electrical problems, ignition switch & cruise control fires, and should i mention the Mercury mistake & ford conturd wiring harnesses,.. i've got to ask about these “non-serviceable” relays. did ford make them an integral part of the box? if so, its more poor design from them. ford engineer, "hey!, lets make the brake light switch harness move every time you push the brake petal"
@@larrybe2900 the middleman's diagnosis was more correct than Eric's. How do you figure? I mean technically the wire leading to the junction box was bad just before the relay but at least that would've been repaired if the fusebox were replaced.
You are a real mechanic, you actually identify the real problem, which is good for the customer because you save them a ton of money! I learn something from you every video!
@@dopeman420 you are correct, I should have said all shops because I have been screwed over by the dealership in my area for replacing parts without fixing the problem.
As a customer, not a professional mechanic, I appreciate when the mechanic goes through the diagnostic process to try to understand why things aren't working than just to start replacing things. Interesting video as usual, thanks Eric.
I've been following you for about 3 years, Eric. You do VERY IMPRESSIVE work. You're a freakin' genious... If I had an automotive problem I couldn't solve locally, especially something involving electronics, I SWEAR I'd somehow get my problem to you KNOWING you could git-R- done... (I'm in NC- LOL)
All I need to say is get well my friend. Working and feeling like crapp sure makes it a tougher job.but you hung in there and still provided a great video. Thank you Eric!!
Finally someone exposed the hypocrisy, obviously why shim transitioned because shim knew it would be to hard to win against other men. Same with Griner, also not a woman competing against women in basketball.
I can't tell you how many times I wish you were local to my location, I'd probably invent problems with my vehicle just to have you work on them..lol....love what you do buddy
Hey, what you did makes sense. I'd rather know than guess and throw parts at it. Your approach to repairs is always good. Don't ever worry about the comments where the armchair mechanics can fix anything from where they sit. Hope you feel better and keep up the good work.
Its good that you troubleshoot first , to find the problem ! Ive delt with a lot of relays in my career as a maintenance technician and found that the points develop pitting that will cause an intermittent condition . Kind of drives you crazy !! I change the relay first !!
Some of those fuse boxes are reasonably priced. No clue on that though. I have been in a few and I believe it involves a wiring harness with no good way to disconnect the box.
It’s a True Miracle that a 2011 is Not Shredded by now in the Rust and Salt Belt of New York. You’re Not afraid of Anything Except Mrs. O. of course. 🤔😬👍
Hi Eric, after watching you for a few yrs. now I would not second guess you. There is nothing more frustrating than something fixing itself and haunting you and your customer looses faith in you. Good job buddy! GET WELL SOON!!!
As a componant level trouble shooting electronics tech for 30yrs. Your better than most kids coming out with an AAS because u got experience. Id let u trouble shoot a board any day because u can read a schmatic ! Much love from down east.
Excellent diagnosis Eric. You make it look like child’s play. As others have stated you find what’s defective and also find out the “why”. That’s the most important info I get from your videos. Good job.
I had a 99 Chev truck and the relay to the compressor clutch stayed engaged running my battery down. I removed the relay cover and a small piece of solder had gotten between the contacts. Thanks, Eric for your videos.
Thanks Eric. This is the best kind of diagnostic video. You should keep away from your children and stop talking to the public. It's the best way to stop those germs gettin' ya! 🙂
The master as usual, you might have heard the relay click if it is was the control side. If not it is probably the contacts or the lower terminal. Teaching grandfather to suck eggs of course. but you know. You are just mind blowing, I am learning all the time from you and I have been doing electrics for 40 years. Ivan just had one with a bad solder joint on the board and just soldered a ground to the relay directly. Russian no parts required. LOL
That is what I was doing Friday. Searching before doing any actual repairs as messing with parts can make the problem go away. Monday I plan to connect the computer and start actual repairs.
This guy is a saint. Making videos for the people even when he’s sick. Thanks Eric. “And negatory on the cost of this mow-chine there Red Ryder You might say I went right up to the factory And picked it up, it's cheaper that way Uh, what model is it?”
I had one just like this a few weeks ago.. Turned out that the contact in the box to the relay was struggling. Tightened the bite and it has worked flawlessly since.
man eric you are like the gene krantz for apollo 13 "lets work the problem people" you just saved that customer a butt load of money by actually diaging not guessing
Sorry you are feeling poorly there young man. Never apologize for doing what you were trained to do and continue to train us to do. Diagnose the issue, verify the fault, once identified then check one more time. Great video as always hope you on the mend soon.
Yeah, the other garage would of R&R the entire fuse knowing it would come with all new fuses and breakers so the problem would be fixed, maybe, bought at what cost? Eric, You are the MAN! Keep it up showing how to really fix cars the right way!
I never notice the noise till you remind me. I’m usually listening to you and your teaching moments so I don’t hear anything but what I’m concentrating on . Nice work as always thank you team S.M.A.
Was getting used to the simple processes related to the Deere excavator servicing. Reinforces the theory that life can be simple @ times, even if not often .🇺🇸🗽🛐 Hoping for a speedy recovery from "feeling like crap" syndrome. Remember, things can always be worse, could be the object of the manhattan DA witch hunt PRNY @ large.
My thought early on was that something is heating up once powered on, and that for whatever reason it's causing it to break the connection. You narrowed it down quite nicely. The only other thing that I would have wanted to check here at the end is that are the fuse box contacts making a tight enough contact to the relay. Usually you're always testing for this anyway, but it was a just one of those days that we all have.
Eric , whoever is criticizing you needs to watch another mechanic. Your troubleshooting approach is methodical not just random and all over the place that's why you are so good at what you do!!
You always say these are your boring videos. I disagree: these are the videos that not only prove how complex modern vehicles are but also how valuable a great mechanic like yourself is. Some of the equipment you use is relatively expensive. As a diy guy, I know my way around a vehicle but electrical issues are always tricky. Awesome video! Stay blessed, man.
I love the other shop’s diagnostic method; I hit the fuse box and it worked therefore it needs a new fuse box. Brilliant! Lol. Thanks for following a process that made far more sense.
Absolutely fantastic video, always love it when Dr O gets a concern that would leave me scratching my head, can't believe valuable information like what south main auto produces is free!!!
Nothing worse than an I touched it fix, great logic for the repair and the cause, very frustrating when they just start working, more so when your sick.
There is only one shop in my three county area which specializes in automotive wiring and electrical, the parking lot is always full of Ford F Series trucks and E series vans. I had to have them diagnose and repair my last F150. They do so many, that they make their own splice-in harnesses. Most other shops won't touch Ford electrical issues, which is very inconvenient. Dealership service departments answer to every problem "It needs a new wiring harness." Your customers are very lucky to have you Eric!
You understand the value of proper troubleshooting and you learn from it and can apply it to the next customer. Those that make comments about you shoulda done this blah, blah do not understand proper troubleshooting procedure. If we do not determine exactly why something did what it did and prove what actually happened we learn nothing and simply get lucky and hope for the best next time. That’s a stressful life and knowledge allows for more confidence which allows for less stress. Good job as usual…
It was probably to much work to replace the fuse box, but it was good they sent it to you to get the real problem fixed. I'm sure the customer will be a lot happier paying for a proper diagnosis with just the relay replaced then having the fuse box replaced.
Gotta love computers in cars and trucks. One thing goes down and nothing works. Miss the good ol days of classic cars no matter what they always worked
We all appreciate these videos on your "methods" of troubleshooting!! I will tell you that from watching YOUR videos for years now, I have slowed down a bit on troubleshooting "issues"....The fastest answer is not always the right one.....follow the problem from start to finish....
In my dealings with fords this sounds like it is the mystery can! Don't worry too much eventually it will just start working! Chicken soup !!!Hope you feel better soon Eric O.
Good step by step to evaluate, verify, repair and verify repair. I had customers that were very knowledgeable that would always ask why and how, wanted detailed repair reports.
Hey Eric..this is why i like your videos..you throughly go to every aspect of what is involved in a diagnosis until your happy with it not many shops go to the trouble to find what the problem actually is ..oh yeah when you said NAPA you forgot to say not a sponsor..you must feel really bad today..lol..get well buddy..see you on the next one Cheers friend 🥂🥂🥂🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Being sick makes it hard. Eric O is working with "half a brain" and still did a great, logical, cause/effect diagnosis. Reminds me of the late, great Rush Limbaugh, who used to say he did his radio show with "half his brain tied behind his back just to make it fair..." Good job Eric. I can't wait to see the follow-up on this job.
Get that lady with the SUV who punched a hole in the fuse box cover. See that relay smarten the hell up right quick time. Put the fear of lawd jebus in it. Nice work again Mr O, saved that guy a bundle avoiding replacing whole fuse box. Stay gold.
This was a great video. It showed how you come up with what direction to go and how to check things off the list systematically. Again, great video. Feel better bud.
Ya, just firing a new relay into it without doing any other diag is fine if you're working on your own clunker, but if you're getting paid to actually fix something with confidence, then that's why one goes down the Mr. O road. Great work as always..
So having now watched the latest video repair for this vehicle from you Eric we get to learn that a broken wire under the fuse box on the control side of the module was the ultimate culprit. You isolated the control side of the module first but I believe the broken wire to the module still had a partial connection and it’s likely thermal conductivity caused it to loose power resulting in intermittent stall conditions. Thanks from all of us in UA-cam land for your Diagnostic Master Class!
Ughhh it sucks being sick but this was about a month ago back in Feb. This job takes a little bit of a turn about a month later so stand by.... 😏
-Eric O.
Get well!
Stop hugging on them girls, they got kooties...
Cool! A cliff hanger...
I would've replaced the relay straight away, instead of all that fiddle fartin' around. 😉
Great Vid! Get well Eric!
No such thing as a sick day when you own your own business. Thanks Eric!
Oh there are. More so since COVID became such a problem. I don't miss working with guys with kids that bring home illness frequently from schools.
Eric, this is the reason we all watch your videos! Even not feeling good you always work the problem, not allowing the problem to work you! Thanks you and your great Family for letting us see your wisdom!
The man is a blast to watch. Like hands on training
Couldn't agree more
On those coils you get a brake in the wire to on inside the coil and it will work when got but cold open and close and wires will touch intermittent
Nice to see a good tech actually diagnosing and not throwing parts at a vehicle until something sticks. Fantastic video.
Damn thieving dealerships have the worst so called “technicians?” that just throw parts at it BECAUSE they get commission while the dealership rapes the customer. SOP for them. I’ve seen the proof on different family members that are dumb enough to go to a “ stealership “. I wished Eric lived in my town
Swap relays until it works! Then doesn't. 🙃
full troubleshooting takes time=money. It's always nice to know but in reality all that matters is it was fixed?
I hate swapping sh*t around. May work on the side of the road, but. Just moving the problem somewhere else. Stranded again. 🙄
@@daveyt4802 label the parts, then swap to get home for repairs. even if you have to scratch things in with pocket knife or whatever.
As a Ford tech who specializes in electrical and networking, words cannot describe how much love and respect I have for Eric. He ain’t afraid of testing rather than guessing and getting a vehicle repaired properly. Can’t wait for him to encounter a newer super duty with so many “non-serviceable” relays inside of the BJB.

NO ONE should be second guessing the Great Eric O! You are the epitome of a professional and diligent mechanic. Everyone could be learning from you!
It's too bad these people stop with the middle man and come to Eric O right off the bat?
@@larrybe2900 the middleman's diagnosis was more correct than Eric's. How do you figure? I mean technically the wire leading to the junction box was bad just before the relay but at least that would've been repaired if the fusebox were replaced.

Your diagnosis skills are great, if only other shops worked like you do.
My local is just like Eric. NO BS and it works. 👍
He's not the only one that can properly diagnose...not rocket science...
You're forgetting he's got a successful utube channel to feed too.
@@dopeman420 you are correct, I should have said all shops because I have been screwed over by the dealership in my area for replacing parts without fixing the problem.
YES a 30+ minute video. Sweet. The longer the better😁
Not only a master mechanic but a master auto electrician. Kudos Mr. O. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
great diagnosis lucky customer to have you do their work
even when mr o feels like dog poop he still takes his time to show us the right approach. got to love that.
Thanks for playing through the pain, Mr. O. Nice work. Cheers!
Diagnosis while ill is not easy! Great work as always. Hope you are feeling better.

Nothing I hate worse is chasing a friggin electrical problem but you my man are a genius! Awesome job!
Being exposed to this mastery is a benefit to everyone that sees it. Thanks ... again and as always Eric.
I had a 99 Chev truck and the relay to the compressor clutch stayed engaged running my battery down. I removed the relay cover and a small piece of solder had gotten between the contacts. Thanks, Eric for your videos.
I do like your method of deduction , and your approach . as said once you disturb the circuits all bets are off ! Thanks for sharing ! &get well !
I kind of like it when you're a little bit pissy. 😅 Great video as always, and hope you get better soon!

Your diagnostic approach is second to none.
Sorry to hear you were sick. I seem to lose my mind when I am ill. I was surprised how well you did with the video.
You have the patience of Job, brother. When you are sick and self employed, there is no such thing as a paid day off.
Love the super technical relay sound effects, that's the exact sound I hear in my head when thinking how a relay works
Contacts on the relay were shotty. When you caused it to spudder or click really fast by pulling it out, it cleaned the contacts by doing so.
Your diagnostic ability never fails to amaze me
man eric you are like the gene krantz for apollo 13 "lets work the problem people" you just saved that customer a butt load of money by actually diaging not guessing
Nothing a Z pack won't fix and couple of shots of doctor McGillicuddy's And the problem you found with the relay, Great job as usual.

It’s great that you take the time to trace and figure things out instead of throwing parts at it.

I was going to say go home and get some rest. Then I read the post was a month ago. So thanks for your time when you were sick. ✝️🙏👍😉🤗
Other shop uses the Green Acres philosophy, hit what does not work, hit it with a hammer. Eric O finessed it to find problem. Great work.
Nothing worse than an I touched it fix, great logic for the repair and the cause, very frustrating when they just start working, more so when your sick.
Your approach is Electronical logic, that is good and the correct diag which always leads to a resolve!
There is only one shop in my three county area which specializes in automotive wiring and electrical, the parking lot is always full of Ford F Series trucks and E series vans.

Awesome in depth diagnostic video, great job. The other shop should have kicked the bumper, it flickers and said you need a new truck, lol.
Wish the like button counted as 2 when youtubers make a vid when sick-they deserve it!
Man your plan of attack was amazing given the weird symptoms that it presented. Nice work my friend.

Totally agree with you because your approach lets you learn diagnostics as you move forward.
