The power of the people!

Everyone has tired of Scotty, and his antics!!

Not south mein auto?

Or 200 cold cranking amps from the battery! 😁

@sicktrickintuner: you didn't by any chance, have Chinese food for dinner, did you?? Lol

I think that if those of us who would like to live near South Main Auto actually *did* live nearby, they would have to have bleachers in the front of the shop, and nothing would get done there.

If I lived near SOUTH MAIN AUTO, I would affix a catch sheet under my vehicle, so the rust chunks won't fall on him while he works on it!!

I do live near SMA.

yeah, my 2000 chevy Silverado was close to $1000 15 years ago. ABS light came on while on a trip to Southern California in the desert. Took it to a dealer and wasn't sure if they were taking advantage of an out of stater but after some checking it was what they cost back then.

I had a mechanic break a wheel speed sensor on a 95 grand too. They beat the hell out of a brake rotor and broke the sensor.

I cut mine open, resoldered , resealed the module. Fixed.

I broke my sensor the other day. I bought new one but still not work correctly. So you're saying it's possible to damage module just from breaking a speed sensor?

@@derekmitt23 No - the ABS Module failed after they replaced the wheel speed sensor twice but it was just a coincidence

You've made a very valid statement. Diagrams aren't a topography map, and having to read a schematic and ignore the topographical suggestion of it can be difficult.

@@Resistculturaldecline topography maps are hard enough to read

I totally agree

"If I can do it, you can do it" Yeah Right.

That and the "To Be Continued" at the end...

Wonder what his first clue??? Things that make you go HMMMM!! Lol

did a quick check, they have some rough google reviews (depending on what was sent in for repair)

They have been great for our two shops they will ask you what code you are getting and will determine if they can actually fix it or they will tell you up front if they are not sure until they open it up usually a one day turn around for us but our two shops are in Massachusetts.

davecc0000 😂 it’s the day after Labor Day. Feels like a Monday...on Tuesday 😂

Chuck's cars don't need no darn anti-lock brake modules!! The brakes are too scared to lock up!!

Chuck Norris's tank don't need brakes cause everyone moves out his way

Peter Martinez Chuck Norris don’t need no stinkin tank! Enemies turn and run at the sight of his guns.

Ford thin-film ignition modules were made in France! Modules were not upgraded so purposely made to fail.

@@GregoryBirulkin no wonder they'd give up so easily lol

Really, transmissions, engines, and rear ends are modules. The "Field Replaceable Unit" (FRU) designation is tighter - you are not supposed to go inside a FRU.

Must have already been repaired.

Do you know what scope is his go to these days. Looks like he’s using a Bosch here

@@ronaldkleinsasser2842 Not sure. He's got a lot of options. I think it depends on the difficulty of the diag. For a simple speed sensor its easy to pull out the miniature one, but the pico is probably still king.

The Struggle I’ve seen videos where Eric said that he just wanted a small shop where he did it all because he thought it would be hard to find dedicated employees. I think that fame brought so much business that the small shop with a one man show ship has sailed. Now it’s 3 guys and even Marie seems to be stepping up to the plate and getting her hands dirty.

V8Snail Cool Hand Luke...err, Eric.

Wasn't that Chevrolet's jingle?

I believe in an older video he said it was from a school district

@@superjoe83 ok thanks.

davecc0000 Bosch have wiring diagram. They are very expensive and more advanced then autel.

Surely the quality of the product has improved infinitely now Jeep are no longer Mercedes owned ? That probably says more about Mercedes quality than it does about Fiat quality.

Quality is at an all-time low with Fiat. Not one single even-semi-smooth model launch since they took over. None of them have been on-schedule, mostly because of quality issues (their specs are just that lousy)

Gilles Thibault : How on earth could the vehicles have been any worse quality-wise than they were under Mercedes ?

@@frazerguest2864 Guess why FCA still makes the DS Ram? Why has the Grand Caravan just been discontinued, instead of the Spring 2017 as it was supposed to? Quality problems. Every new model launch under Fiat is more of a s..t show than the previous. No wonder their customer satisfaction, and reliability ratings are in the basement!

Gilles Thibault : The thing is, you kind of expect such woeful quality with FIAT, (Fix It Again Tomorrow), it’s the shit quality under Mercedes ownership that pisses me off the most. In the small town that I live in is a guy driving round in a 1989 Mercedes 190. Besides the faded paint and worn drivers seat, the car is like brand new. Still runs super smooth and has zero rust. I also see a 2007 Mercedes S-Class S500 driving around locally. Besides the bumpers, ever single panel is riddled with rust, as are most Mercedes around here approaching ten years old. That in itself is just one perfect example of Mercedes so-called ‘quality’. I’ll tell you what, I don’t see Fiats and Alfa Romeos rusting as badly as Mercedes. All manufacturers seem to be following the same path, (with the exception of Toyota). Accountants have taken over from Engineers. Cars are built to the absolute cheapest price. If a car manufacturer can sacrifice quality to save 1 cent per unit, then they will do. Cars used to be the second highest purchase a family would make, which is why most folk used to own a car for ten years before selling it on, (or scrapping it). Now with the advent of cheap finance / lease deals, cars have become a throwaway consumable item, built to last the duration of the warranty and not a day longer, (and sometimes not even the duration of the warranty, which often isn’t worth the paper it is written on). But such is the way a lot of our consumer driven society works. Just look at Apple products. Clever marketing aimed at the hard of thinking = sky high prices, yet the products are utter dog shit, often not fit for purpose and you’re lucky if they last two years before becoming nothing more than an expensive paperweight. I went into an engineering workshop a few weeks back. They had a lathe and a pillar drill in use that the firm had bought in the 1950’s. These pieces of equipment had been used every working day for nearly 70 years and were still going strong. I bet the same wouldn’t be possible if you bought new engineering equipment today. It would be scrap mental after ten years. Volvo Trucks is another great example. They used to be real tough workhorses. Now gearboxes and turbochargers costing several thousand pounds each are consumable service items.

Michael Galvin He is probably accessing Mitchell/AllData/Identifix on the tool, separate service. I would run that stuff on my scanner, but we don’t have WiFi in the shop

Bosch provides the wiring diagrams (I have an OTC Evolve it has Bosch software).
