In this video I stay late at the shop to look at a '18 Chrysler Pacifica for one of my used car dealers. They installed a new active grille shutter (AGS) and claim it doesn't work. So they installed a new factory harness and it still doesn't work! Let's have a look and see what we find.
-Enjoy!

Its 8:45pm in Australia and im outside watching this with my fiance. The first thing out of her mouth is "Theres your problem lady!". You know you found the right girl when she can quote Eric while reading her book. Anyways, Eric, thanks for not only being informative, entertaining and just funny as all heck. Youve provided me with countless hours of teaching but more importantly.....you give everyone confidence. Confidence in that if you can do it.....we can do it. Dont be afraid when a light comes on. Educate yourself, try to fix it and save money!! But always with a slice of humble pie and know when youre over your head so when it needs a big fix by a professional, you didnt give them a rats nest of "shouldn't have done that" Wish you and the family the best.

Mazda had a period back in the 80's where you had to order parts on VIN number ánd year and month of production, as the mounting holes on parts like fenders seemed to shift a few millimeters almost every month........ how stupid can it get? You buy the part, hold it in place and it seems to line up just fine, have the part painted and when you try to mount it, the bolts just don't fit.

That has been kicking my but for two weeks solid on a multitude of cars. Why on earth did Chrysler think it was a great idea to put so many options on 300 and Charger brakes? Even with the VIN it only narrowed it down to four. Then the rear control arms on them is about the same story.

Good stuff Eric! What they should do is include a male-female adapter that changes the wiring using a connector that connects between factory wiring and the new part to change the wire layout so if it's needed, it's included. But that would require thinking and we all know OE's... Cheap and "no thinking" at all!

I was going to reply with the same comment! Why in the world would they not include either instructions on the possible need to repin along with the blank plug, or include a short inline adapter?

Had a guy stop yesterday with a 09 youkon. He is a retired shop owner. His wife woke up went to leave for work and no headlights. She took his truck and told him to have it fixed when she got home. He stopped at my shop and told me 60 dollar bulbs replaced 3 months ago blah blah blah. I said did ya check the bulbs. He had a spare so we plugged it in. Wala let there be light. I explained to him those vintage gm eat bulbs and the fancy pants bright bulbs don't last as long. Also that good and new are 2 different words. Old dogs can learn new tricks.

My neighbor has a Subaru in which you have to peel back the bumper cover to replace bulbs. After she bought "fancy" bulbs from the auto parts stores for $50 for the pair, I got tired of replacing them after they went out a few times. I bought HD bulbs from the Rock for like $4 a bulb. Its been fine ever since. And I polished up the plastic headlights so she could actually see at night. 🙃

Eric O, that was a great case study highlighting the power of service information (SI). It's puzzling to me why some shops still today don't invest in service information (SI), considering how valuable they can be. Just think of the time and money it would've saved this used-car guy if he had SI. We're all concerned about how quickly we can get the part and how fast we can install it, but often overlook the importance of verifying the repair.
@scannerlanier471
@scannerlanier471 Ай бұрын
Trouble is SI costs $$$$ and sometimes SI is brand specific so you spend $$$ for GM, $$$ for Toyota, $$$ for etc. You have got to consider that is the $$$ worth the use you will get out of it? Used cars are generally polish the turd and sell it. Do the obvious and ship it. They will not take the time to diagnose and use service data.

At 7:55, "I would assume it would have come with this paperwork; they can't be selling these things and NOT telling people." Why just the other day I was asked at the dealership for my VIN for my vehicle. I keep it conveniently located in my wallet. I also try to keep in mind some specific knowledge about my vehicle. For example, I have a Ford with a Saginaw steering box; you just never know when those parts guys are going to ask for that information. I would have never for one single second ever thought any company, especially a highly reputable company like Chrysler, would ever make running changes and not tell anyone. The best part: Eric was able to keep a straight face while making that statement. GREAT VIDEO!

Hi Eric George here from Canada, Yes I agree with you on dealerships they just want our hard earned money, was talking to fried he had a ford explorer took it dealer because warranty wasready to expire he wanted oil change or just regular maintence he said , but he said he told them to do an inspection on it, because it was close to running out, they told him they could inspect it until he had a complete rotor and brake job, he ask what that would cost they told him 2000 dollars, he told them he wanted a second opinion, told them to just change the oil,/ so he comes home and takes it to a local shop here ,we only have two here,// they check his brakes and rotors and told him there was nothing wrong with his and they did not need to be changed, he said his warranty is gone so he will not be going to dealership anymore,/ as you have mentioned before they want to see you stuff you do not need, thanks Eric , always watch and find your videos very interesting, and you explain everything out with lots of details, keep up the good work, if you were running a shop near me i would be a customer of yours

The thumping behind the dash after turning it off is the recirculation door actuator. They fail all the time on those RU pacifica/voyagers. You can see it moving back and forth trying to find its home position with the glove compartment out. Also, chrysler loves to change connectors and pinouts. I think OEM charger/challenger/300 fuel pumps come with a connector kit and I've had to change to a completely different connector when replacing a fuel rail pressure sensor on an RU pacifica.

It is great how you figure out how to make these repairs. I guess you have become the garage of last resort. Great job. I am glad that folks (mates) in Australia are learning along with us.

Yeah FCA has been doing that lately. I had a jeep patriot 2.4 L a couple months ago the customer changed the throttle body on then it wouldnt start. He used an oem throttle body from chrysler and it came with a new connector and paperwork as well. He wired it in one wire at a time not realizing chrysler changed the pinouts on the new throttle bodies. He called me so i went out and troubleshot it, and wound up comparing the oe wiring diagram to the diagram on the paperwork he got and found 3 of the wires got changed around. Once i fixed it and wired it in proper, it started and all codes cleared when i cleared it and did the throttle learn.

I literally just went through this exact job today. Too bad Mitchell didn't list anything about this that I could find. Shuffled the pins around and works again. Good stuff! 👍

Like as always Mr. O the first thing i learned with you as a teacher, is even looking at the car make a small case study on the problem. Use everything i can like interwebs, youtube, scan data, trying to make me a head before entering into the job. But sometimes i feel to impatient and want to wrench right away !!!!

I wonder how many other SMA viewers have their very own collection of Rock Auto magnets. Just spotted your locker and busted out laughing because I was talking about parts the other day and made reference to the Rock. My pal with the parts house has a fridge completely covered with them. When you gotsta have it and the normal channels aren't producing---ROCK ME!

Who knows, there may have been something in the box mentioning the update, just no one ever pays attention! The number of bricked $3500 GM radios I see shops installing because they don't read the bright yellow sticker on the box saying "DO NOT TURN THE CAR ON." ;) On the off chance this Pacifica finds its way back to your shop with a non-op AGS and/or an AGS code, there's an AGS cycle counts reset under Special Functions in the PCM. Good practice to do it anytime the shutter is replaced; I've seen quite a few go wonky a week later. :)

Eric, I've been watching your channel for several years.....I must say sure wish we had many more technical mechanics like you all over the USA.....these days we have folks that just like to change parts....As Mickey Pipes from HVAC also from you tube channel also from the great State of New York, he tells his employees 'If you not testing your guessing. Keep up the great work with the videos.
