must be a Nissan Relay thing! About a year ago I had a late model V6 Nissan Patrol with ignition problems, duel fuel. After I'd fixed the issue (no start on LPG) it came back a week later with no start on Petrol. Crawled all over it for a day, ended up biting the bullet, pulled the fuel tank, tested the pump.... worked fine. Took me another 2 hrs to put the tank and the fuel back into it, then a further two hours to remember. While pulling the relays out, one of them, the case came off the relay as I was trying to remove it... Had a look and sure enough, when the case came off it also dislodged the contact arm in the relay. A slight little flick to one side and BOOM! That was the problem lady! Replaced it and kicked myself all afternoon for not checking it sooner.

Yep I saw it too. Unfortunately actually he did put the dent in the second relay. If you go back and you follow very closely when he first pulled it out there was no mark on it, he then put it in to the relay spot where the one with the hole was it showed no draw that prove that it was the relay. He then took it back out and shoved it back in its original spot. That's the point in which it got the dent put in it you can clearly see he then pulls it back out hands it to Mrs oh and the dent is right where his pliers were. I'm wondering if at some point the vehicle had some cheap aftermarket relays put in and the plastic housings are just super thin.

@@kens97sto171 Probably all the heat cycles in the engine bay made the plastic brittle. One of my old BMW's uses the same crappy plastic in the cooling system. Constant failures every 3-5 years.

@@Andreas_D-Greek Absolutely. I don't really fault him at all. We get a completely different view than he sees while he's doing the work. But if you go back and watch the video you can clearly see when the dent appeared. Totally agree with you I'm sure it's heat cycling and just age. I've heard BMWs are kind of known for crappy plastics under the hood. But you run into it with any make and model if they get old enough.

My first thought when seeing the hole was someone made a a hole for diagnostic purposes, then I realized it was just the result of letting a 500 pound gorilla use tools. 😂

Wow... no kidding.... I had to go check my cat was still at home where I left her. That is an absolute doppelganger of my cat... colors, stripes, height, sitting angles.... that's surreal. Only difference is the 10 year age difference. I would say that's a 5yr or younger cat, my kitty got's a little more shaggy'ness to her.

Great job Eric. One thing still bugs me a bit and I think you touched on it right at the end. Gota wonder what was wrong that somebody was pulling out relays in the first place. Hopefully it is fixed though. Keep up the great videos.

Faulty ipdms, known issue (the white assembly). Solution is to replace the whole assembly with relays.

Nice of Mrs. O to be in this video. The new cat also making an appearance. I have an 06 red Frontier King Cab 4.0L with a 6 speed manual and 4WD. Mine does not keep the exterior lights on when the ign switch is turned off. Must be something to do with the anti theft device. That was a very good diagnosis. When you started pulling fuses I was thinking you were gonna get the wiring diagram to look for common connections with the fuses. Got lucky with that relay. Nice truck, hope it's not all rust destroyed underneath.
