A few years ago my eldest son told me to record videos about car repairs procedures. He convinced me to upload them on RUclips. Some weeks later, he prepared my RUclips account and gave me the basic training on how to film and how to use different free editing software to produce my videos.
Since I rarely speak English, I had to practice with online tutorials to be able to record my voice. Also, I checked online to find proper translations of technical terms and language expressions from French to English.
I am a retiree and a grandfather, so fixing cars and producing RUclips videos is only one of my hobbies.
The goal behind these videos is to show how some jobs could be done at home without the help of industrial car lift and very specialized tools.
Looking at my work could give you the opportunity to learn more about the procedures to follow to fix a problem. Even if you are watching the videos for fun, it could give you new basic information about some projects.

So glad I found this. At the last minute. Child doing chemo. My car broke down and I'm doing a full suspension rebuild. These toe links are a pain.
Beautiful 😮great video
strange that same machine is branded a simplicity and poulan pro must be a made in China unit vary good video but general transmission offers no internal parts
Merci très utiles !!
very good job brother,thankyou!!!
A most excellent and detailed, well documented video. Thank you for the great video! Merci!!
This video is great. It helped me fix my sister's 2009 Patriot. It wasn't shutting off, even with the key removed. And dash lights on were on. Now it works perfectly.
This video was a great save. Got in and out in ten minutes. I didn’t even have to take the wheel or coolant reservoir off.
Great information, thank you for sharing
Thank you for the good explanation. I have a question. Do the 2 oxygen sensors have the same connectors? Are they actually 2 of the same? Thank you very much.
The connectors are different and the wires have different colors. The 2 sensors look the identical but I don't know if they are built exactly the same inside. Check on eBay to see some pictures.
Great video! Very informative and to the point. Thank you
Fantastic explainer, thanks.
Awesome, Thank you
Can you help answer a question for me? Not related to spark plugs but the fuel filter for my 2009 Volvo S40. Any video I watch regarding S40 fuel filter is for practically every year except 2009. I can't find it in the usual places like in front of the rear passenger wheel well. Is there something about the 2009 version that's different? I can't find it anywhere. Any help you can give is very much appreciated. VIN YV1390MS7A2502602
Sadly, the mechanical engineers did not included an access to the fuel filter and to the fuel pump assembly. These two parts are located on the top of the fuel tank without access. The fuel tank has to be lowered to replace these parts.
@mtlcarguy oh that's disappointing. I wonder then why my auto parts store pulls up an external fuel filter when I provide the VIN. It's frustrating. Thanks for getting back to me and thanks for this video. I'll be attempting to replace the plugs and coils soon. 😁
Outstanding job and video!
I’ve been turning the drain peacock for an hour it just turns forever???
I am not sure, but if a portion of the drain petcock threads is broken, it is possible that the O-ring is stuck in the radiator drain. Assuming the locking threads are not engaged when you spin the drain petcock, the part probably slides in the stuck O-ring and is not moving out. Even if the drain petcock is broken or not, I would spray some silicone lubricant in the space between the radiator drain and the drain petcock to partially lubricate the O-ring. This should help to unstuck the O-ring and pull out the drain petcock in order to inspect it. If it is broken you can buy a new one. See hyperlinks: www.jeeppatriot.com/threads/looking-for-diy-info-on-replacing-radiator-dont-see-anything-here.342342/ www.allpar.com/threads/plastic-radiator-tank-drain.239492/
So if pump is buzzing it doesnt mean its dead. Only, that it takes more time than he should to do the work?
Yes, but if it takes far too much time it will overheat and eventually get damaged.
I don't see a fuse stating its for the signal lights idk if I am missing something or what but I want to find out if my right signal light fuse is blown cause no matter what new bulb I put in it never works
The turn signal light bulbs are powered by the electronics components located in the TIPM (+12v) . The ground contact (-) in the light bulb socket is connected to the chassis ground via a ground wire. The majority of the problems are caused by oxidized or broken contacts or wires near the light bulbs and very rarely from the TIPM.
Great video thank you
Thank you very much for the video! I have managed to fix my transmission following the steps. I had the same issue with the two bearings next to the clutch lever. The snowblower is working again! Mine is Craftsman C950.521260, the transmission is General Transmission 3071A152, 1733972 (87022 A2). Best regards and thanks again!
Make sure that the steel cable that engages the cone clutch system is not slack by adjusting the linear guide wheel (@ 7:17, top left corner). This should prevent a partial contact of the two conical surfaces that would generate slipping and overheating.

You are supposed to level the vehicle at ride height before you tighten it down I'm working on the other side of my sister's truck but apparently it's cold outside so I got to go in and out of the house but surely I'll be done

Great video, this is exactly what a was looking for.
Anyone knows what is fuse of window
The power windows are powered by an electronic module in the TIPM assembly. There is no specific fuse dedicated for the power windows.
Great video explaining how to diagnose my exact issue. Thank you very much for such a wonderful video.
Loved your video. I have a question that I hope you can help me with. I installed 2 AUXITO h11 led headlight bulb on my 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid. I was getting an error so I got the proper decoders from AUXITO and installed them. The left headlight works perfectly but with the decoder on the right side the bulb does not turn on. I install without the decoder and the light works. I sent them an email and they sent me 2 more decoders. The problem is that the same thing happens with the 2 new decoders. Would you have any idea what would be causing this ? Would really appreciate if you have any insight. Thank you.
The electronic smart junction box provides the current to 4 different wires that go to the HI and LOW headlamp bulbs. If the right side LED headlight bulb works without a CAN Bus decoder, Maybe there is a short to ground in the right circuit that increases the amount of current close to normal tungsten filament condition with your LED headlight installed without a CAN Bus decoder. A short to ground condition combined with the added current used by the CAN Bus decoder could trigger an abnormal signal in the smart junction box and turn this circuit off for protection. In this case, I would inspect the integrity of the electrical wiring and the connectors. I can be wrong, but, I found a problem similar to this a long time ago on a vehicle I inspected. Good luck!
Great video. Thanks for taking the time.
supper
That was very interesting Thank you
Great instructions. No extra talk and straight to the point
Which is low beam headlamp fuse 2012 Jeep Compass ? The fuse pictorial is difficult to read and fuse cover #36 which owners manual says is headlamps does not appear to be correct. Could you link to clearer picture of circuits and their respective fuse ?
The headlights are controlled directly by the TIPM without fuse. The left low beam is powered by the TIPM connector C4/pin 4 and the right low beam by the TIPM connector C5/pin 3 Check this link: www.jeeppatriot.com/threads/driver-headlight-not-working-2011-patriot.339246/
@@mtlcarguy 😊Spot on mtlcarguy....great solution... TIPM C5/pin3 was bent during replacing TIPM...no continuity to pin 1 of headlight connector. Straightened pin , all working. Thanks.
Hi, is your s40 FWD or AWD? I have an AWD and having difficulty finding the right part to replace it. Apparently the AWD model flexpipe assembly is different than the FWD but I cannot find info on this.
Mine is FWD. I don't know the difference. Check with your local Volvo Dealer or check with Rockauto or Davico: davicomfg.com/catalog/
This video was by far one of the best info videos I have seen on RUclips. Thank you so much. BTY, this is also the same procedure needed for the 2015 Patriot.
I had a client with one of these cars, they’re a POS car.
Which one is the windshield wiper fuse
There is no fuse used for the front whippers or the rear whipper. The motor of the front whippers is controlled by 3 electrical wires coming from the TIPM (C11 pin 10, C11 pin 12, C2 pin 5) and the fourth wire is a ground.
Did you try any of the Activation Tests on the Honda ? Curious if fan relay or A/C clutch relay can be toggled by the Autel on an OBD1 ECU. I suspect not though.
The OBD1 P28 ECU doesn't support any scan tool bidirectional control functions. I only use it to read the live data output from the ECU pin D7 (TxD/RxD Transmit Data/Receive Data Link). The bidirectional controls were introduced with the OBD2 functions in 1995.
Clever ~ thank you
Such a clear video with methodical troubleshooting steps. Thank you for this.
All your videos are very well sctructured and pleasure to follow. Thank you!
Wow, needle style torque wrench, takes ya back a bit! Thanks for the help on these sad excuses of an automobile
Just did this last night and tore up both bushings on the new control arm in the process. The rear bolt got jammed during the insertion process and the ball joint bushing got cut open on the knuckle. Back to rock auto i go….
Good day, which fuse should one pull out to release the fuel pressure when doing a fuel injector change?
Jeep recommends this procedure to release the fuel pressure. 1. Remove the lower rear seat cushion. 2. Remove the fuel pump module cover. 3. Disconnect the electrical connector from the fuel pump module. 4. Start and run the engine until it stalls. 5. Attempt restarting the engine until it will no longer run. 6. Turn the ignition key to OFF position. 7. Disconnect the negative battery cable. 8. Later, when the work is fully completed, if needed, use a scan tool (OBD2) to erase one or more related DTC that could have been stored.
Beautiful thank you
Thank you master I really appreciate it!!!!👍
Hello can I have your e-mail ,, I NEED HELP WITH A 2017 JEEP PATRIOT AUTOMATIC 4x4, won’t start just crank , please help me ,, the mecanic say I need a new ECU
I do not troubleshoot electronic problems online. Mechanics use diagnosis tools and expertise to solve this kind of problem. You still have the choice to talk to another local mechanic to get a second opinion. You can also take a look at my other video about TIPM: ruclips.net/video/OvJU_un4N84/видео.html
Thank you! Exactly what i was looking for my 2015 Kia Forte 5 1.6 turbo!
My measurements 20 inches. Should I split the difference?
When a Jeep Patriot sits on an even ground, the spacing that is measured can be different from an other Jeep Patriot because the rear coil springs load capacity can be different. Some models can have a higher or lower load rating and there is also a difference load capacity between old and new coil springs. So use the average of your measurement to lift the center hub and tighten the bushing to recreate your average suspension measurement. When all the work is completed and the vehicle is sitting normally, your rubber bushings should not be torn and they should last without braking early.
@@mtlcarguy thank you friend. I appreciate you being there. Got it all done except for the lateral arm cam bolts need to be cut out. Having some extreme tire wear on the inner rear.

Great job, I have an old Bosch from a 94 BMW 525i I used to own. I placed the alternator but kept the old one since it was working well but had a noisy bearing. I figure I'd just rebuild it for resale.
