No chest beating, ego stroking or lording over. A good working personality is hard to find and worth a person’s weight in gold. I’ve told people the greatest thing a person can achieve is to be easy to be around. This is the first video I’ve seen of you actively engaging with a customer as a repair is ongoing and I’m as impressed with your interpersonal skills as your technical skills. That’s a compliment I don’t often get to offer. Good job Bill.
Good videos. Thank you for putting them out there. I just purchased a 2004 and the owner had lost the keys. All of the locksmiths in my area point to one guy that does them and he charges $650 to come program and cut a key. He said he has to desolder something from a board and solder it to his computer board to program then resolder it to my board. Is this the only option and is there a possibility it wouldn’t be chipped?
Is that big box the key verification module ? It’s so BIG , were battery cables on during the plug unplug I imagine so how long U unplug for? Hmm must’ve got garbled and needed a reset a?
@@PrePaidTeam We can easily make additional keys. I have a good source on eBay for strong key blanks and T5 chips ($9ea), then use the ZedBull ($49) to clone the chip and let ACE Hardware grind the key for $3. Under $75 and you'll have two more keys.
There are some areas I've not needed to learn and a few things still scare me. Riding together we can face my fears and yours, as needed. When in doubt, we'll get the book out, phone a friend or poll the audience.
My sprinter didnt want to start. One day i just parked next day is didnt start. Is possible the Keers? If im disconect and reconnect is start? I replace all sensors all relay and fuse is good.fuel pump, and Pressure pump working (4300-4500 psi when try to start)
If the starter motor is turning the engine the key has done all it needs to do. I assume "Keers" = keys. Rail pressure looks good too. Verify camshaft and crankshaft sensor synchronization. I'm sure you didn't "replace all sensors" so start by telling me what you actually replaced. If you want more specific advice than "try everything" you need to give me details, not generalization.
@FloridaVanMan is starting, but right away, stop. So they want to start but nothing. Crankshaft sensor, camshaft sensor, high pressure sensor back top of the engine, maf sensor replaced, egr valve cleaned. The main fuel pump has pressure( I removed the fuel line from the fuel filter) , and the fuel filter was replaced. The high-pressure pump has pressure , and new battery is installed. All fuse and relay checked, good. No code at all. Even the mechanic guy didn't know why dont starts. Sadly, (now 2 years ago dont started, the time was stop working)
@@NTconstruction The only reason I've seen them stall immediately after starting was bad MAF sensor combined with intake air adaptive settings being adapted a certain way. Have you tried starting with the MAF sensor unplugged or an old MAF installed?
@@NTconstruction This isn't how ECM failure usually presents. If not the MAF sensor I'd look for fuel pressure dropping before the engine stalls. Did you say there are no codes? .
I hope you paid for it before fixing it.... I've sold a few broken vehicles before... if it's fixed before it's sold, it's now a running vehicle. Sorry, not sorry.
If he raised the price after I fixed it, this would be an entirely different video, LOL. It would be "un-fixed" before I left and the seller would never figure out why.

Thank you. I am not always the person I want to be, but I keep trying.

Learned something new. Keep em coming.
FVM is the Conductor. Sprinters are his orchestra!
Bravo!
How much did you buy it for and had you already bought it before the video began?
TIA and keep ‘em coming!!!😄
$2,000 and no, I got it started before I committed to purchase. If I couldn't drive it home I didn't want it.
You ought to cart a Zedbull around with you so you can see if key chips *do* have codes :D

No! I know 2 guys who can help. SOSdiagnostics.com and sprinterkeys.com

Connections got wet and corroded. It only needed a wiggle to get good connections. Yes, the big box is the SKREEM (Sentry Key Remote Entry Module)
@ is there a certain ohm I can chant Between the scream connectors to give my absolute lifetime verification. I only have one key left and and no DAD

What's a good phone diagnostic app for T1n sprinters
Autel MaxiApp AP200, not 200c 200t 200h or 200m, just AP200. They are getting harder to find.
Is there anything on these you can't fix😃

I ought to send you round trip tickets to San Diego and couch so you go over my rig.
