Nice 🫡 did you reprogram the bcm2 from the junkyard w/ that was flashed?

Sadel I seem to get so many parasitic drains mainly after the customer has spent time and money at previous garages having the simple parts changed, by then they have spent money and time without the vehicle then as you witnessed they are at the end of their patience. I felt for you at the end with the customer being upset even though you had followed the exact right diagnostic procedure without condemning incorrect parts, apart from the connector terminal cleaner, a bit of compressed air you supplied your knowledge to follow a direction path to give a definitive answer and you did, you gave it so precisely that I bet you felt great ( we all do) when you discovered the fault, you then are proud to tell your customer to then be flattened by their negative response and then to lose the customer is gutting. Mate all I can say is well done, although challenging it was great to see it’s not just me whom gets the challenging draws & as I said you did everything perfect, if you were a detective or a doctor and came to the correct answer you would of been patted on the back, appreciated and spoke highly of. Let’s just hope the customer views the video and reads these comments because WE are all behind you, and although I’m in the uk if I was local to you I would happily say to your customer “ you are not welcome at my workshop”. Don’t change a thing mate. Great content, as others have said I think it is the best PD video to date. Respect from the UK David Sinclair

I’m having this problem right now with my 2011 ML350, going to try this. Don’t even care if it fixes it, this is a fantastic video! Great job. Impressed!

You sound like an informative professional that's not a prick That's what's up I appreciate your work

THANK YOU!!!...mine was making the whistling noise for a few weeks but it was only once in a while and it cut out once last week, so thanks again for your knowledge and wisdom, both parts ordered!

U talk too much

Same problem exactly - 2007 clk280 amg. Scary but going to dive in and have a look. When it comes to cars, being brave and having a go yourself saves you thousands, and if you balls it up - well you were going to have to pay anyway. At least i can do fine soldering. Thanks so much for this video man

How do we know if tcm is malfuntion

Hi there would you describe the noise as a brake pad grinding noise?

Sadel, the man with the plan! Thank you for taking the time to post this so that we mortals can learn. 😀

Yo this was a really good series of videos thanks for sharing

Amazing! I think the most converluted parasitic drain diags I've ever seen. Brilliant of you to share it and your knowledge Sadel! I have to admit that would have checked for bus activity. Found my way to the ABS and almost certainly would have pulled the trigger. What a huge mistake that would have been. You are then on the hook for the rest of the job. I learnt a great lesson today!

Great diagnostic process , I have find out there is difficult to collect money from diag related to network issues or parasitic draw.

Come on man get to the point Jesus Christ

Very informitive channel thanks alot for sharing

Hello maesto Sadel are does chasis ears. What adapter you use for the picoscope? Can it be done 4425a pico?

great video and troubleshooting steps to isolate to the assembly versus the modules.. one question tho, is the parking light tied into one of the modules or the assembly? thanks!

super mario's brother

nice video, thanks

You had a customer from hell. Great explanation. Over the last 40 years I have learned to refuse jobs based on my gut feel about the car owner. No money is worth it!

very nice !

Curious...what exactly was it that the customer was expecting? Don't understand what they were unhappy with.

Over the years I've found that some of the customers for whom you've done the best work appreciate it the least. I hope someday this one will return to you with a problem that "the other shops" can't figure out. And then you can happily tell them "NO".

Current limiting seen it when these module try to protect themselves when i seen 17amps and the computer not wanting to control it

I can't believe it Sadel! I thought the problem was isolated to the ABS Control Module in the previous video! This is crazy! The best battery draw video I have seen. At the end did you find out from where that water was getting into that connector? Otherwise, is going to do it again! That was a lot of water! Really good diag Sadel. Thank you for sharing brother!

Absolutely brilliant, Sadel!

THAS WHAT MAKE YOU A MASTER, that's the same problem i have when costumer come to my shop they ask me how much is going to cost but it hard to give them awnser when is about current parasite draw .but you did a masterful diag kudos to you .

Wow Sadel what a case study. A great lesson for all of us. Thank you for getting to the root cause and showing us how it is done.

Thank you for the great information as always. How do feel about using amp clamps for parasitic draws?

These are the hard ones Sadel! and when you make them happened, they are not easy to be resolve. Probably that is why other techs won't bother to try. These needs a lot of time and patience! Good that you figured it out Sadel! Thank you for sharing!

Masterpeace 👍

Last próxima que lo lleve a la agencia es baboson . Así que gaste pisto pues por bruto .

Last próxima que lo lleve a la agencia es baboson . Así que gaste pisto pues por bruto .

Las personas aveces somos estúpida pensamos que por ser agencia es mejor y esos solo quieren el pisto .

Si ese hombre ya no le da trabajo primo agradezca a Dios por que ese tipo no valora su conocimiento esfuerzo y paciencia, perseverancia con esta camioneta.

👍🏻Como dice Ivan de phad no requirió partes . 😂

Buenísimo primo La persistencia vale la pena . La paciencia es remonerada primo es decir paga .

Excellent way to approach this problem Sadel! Thank you for sharing!

Hola primo sadel . Que lío el de esta camioneta pero me gusta su persistencia y eso se valora . Únicamente me pregunto ¿ cómo le hace para cobrar un diagnóstico así y que usted no le calcule mal? Cuídese mucho primo .

Excellent diag Sadel! A lot of good information in the video and the more you add cloning ECU's the more interested I am in adding that part to my arsenal! If you can let me know who you have taking classes with about it or just learn by doing it! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Sadel! we always learn a lot from your videos!

Great job. What do you mean he fired you? Who fired you?

These are the sort of jobs that never pay the amount of hours you put in. But personally these are the most satisfying and rewarding. This is one of the best and complete parasitic draw test I have seen. So very well done and thanks for your knowledge. As for the ungrateful customer Bye Bye and don't be pressured into doing any other work for him again if he comes back.

My Pacifica was killing the battery within hours. Turned out to be the starter. Bizarre.

D tech I appreciate your video.. I jus bought a 2011 535i Gran Turismo with missing water pump code out of tolerance coolant pump supply voltage too low and no emergency signal .. I use a launch scanner x431.. u said something I was wondering .. does the pump suppose to run on cold start or after thermostat opens

The best video of testing for battery draw. It show many different diagnosis

Oooo really nice and useful case study. Really customer says that not cooperate with you? Hmmm... if is true then will cooperate with parts changer or junkyard.
