In a previous video • Subaru Impreza: Key Wi... we had a look at a Subaru that did not want to give up its keys after being put into park. I now have the part to fix so let's yank out the shifter and get this car back on the road. -Enjoy!

Eric, when you took pictures of that connector, it reminded me of the very *first* car I had to fix *by myself* - my 1972 Olds Delta 88. It was my college transportation car, and one morning I walked to the garage and saw a puddle of antifreeze on the floor - the water pump had failed. I had a choice of fixing it myself, or quitting school 😁. I called my uncle, who was a brilliant man and could repair anything, and he walked me though the steps to replace the pump. The first thing I did before I removed a single bolt? I got out my trusty Polaroid camera (yeah, I'm that old) and snapped about ten pictures of where everything went. Three belts, untold bolts, and one gasket later, I had successfully replaced that pump, reassembled the car per my pictures, and it was perfect - except for one, lonely, solitary blue engine bolt. The car drove great for several more years, but I never did find out where that bolt belonged! 😀😀 Thanks for your great videos!

@muttaburraaridi1309 4 жыл бұрын

One bolt left over? No worries, probably why you had a good run afterwards! I used to race speedway here in Aus and the blokes who did our engine builds had to go through a slab of beer while doing a build and had to have at least 1 bolt left over plus a few random washers. The only engine I ever watched them build and fit stone sober and with not a single left over bolt or washer was a dog that wouldn't run right no matter what we did. In frustration they stripped it back down over a slab and had a couple of random bolts left afterward and the thing ran beautifully and survived a full season without issue. Sometimes life just works that way no matter how logic says it shouldn't. ;-)

Nicely done. I know that feeling of losing something or just something bad happening in the pit of my stomach. Last time was when I decided to double my ram in my laptop. Saw the fan was dirty, so I took it out and cleaned, but when I went to put the fan back in one of the wires was severed. Those are some really small wires, only about 1mm with a few strands, but after finding all the things I needed like my magnifying visor with a loupe and all the soldering stuff I finally got that little bugger soldered together and it seemed to work but still ordered a new fan as it was only $10. I must have broke the wire when I thought I had to pry some tabs but then found a screw hiding under some wires. Such is life. Thanks for sharing.

Another "dad" moment was 6:30 and putting the clip aside for safe keeping. He used to call little clips, snap rings, etc "Jesus clips".

I normally keep track of where the screws & clips go by "just knowing". A few years ago I gutted the interior of a 65 Mustang, and was FAR more organized than usual, putting related parts in boxes and screws etc in labeled bag. The day after I finished gutting it, I discovered the entire west wall of my garage was being eaten by carpenter ants. I spent evenings &weekends for the next several weeks rebuilding it, so when I finally got back to the car, I was SO GRATEFUL for my uncharacteristic organization of all the bits and bobs.

It wasn't locked and operating the release through the window opening did nothing. I tried relieving tension on the latch, still no go.

Fortunately, the transmission bought it around 300K miles so I was off the hook.

Just a week before Xmas and you had to say Santa isn`t real. I hope your kids don`t watch this video Mr. O. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos , I enjoy them all. I wish you and your family (and the people at the shop) a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Take care.

Always nice to have a video record of how things come apart.

Eric, my daughter has a Subaru, so now I have an idea of how to fix. That plastic tool that you used to pry the plastic parts is a good idea. Thanks for the video!

Once again, an illustration of how complicated car repair has become - more and more stuff connected to more and more stuff with more and more potential failure points. Excellent repair - much more complicated than a brake job and neeeding much more patience as well. Glad to see you recycling the "schmoo" and the 25 cent "vise clips" - environmentaly sound and pure profit falling to the bottom line. Finally, please say a prayer for all of your loyal viewers when you are in church on Sunday!

Thanks SMA - I don’t own a Subaru but I sure enjoyed this video. What a passel of work just for a sticky microswitch.

Same process basically as I did for my 08 Kia Rondo which has 2 neutral switches, one in the engine bay and one hidden in the shifter. That's a fun job, NOT! Always enjoy your vids. Hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas! 🎄☃️🎅
