There’s actually of good ol’ friend or colleague should say names Flatrate master aka Mike which is outta ATL and he’s also a diagnostician and very good and if you need one up north ,Mass Look me up as Faithful Mechanix also a Master technician. God bless all
Way out of my depth trying to make sense of this, but learning this stuff and watching Mike work his magic (AKA dedication, experience, and tenacity) is nothing short of amazing to me. As others have frequently said here, Mike is a skilled mechanic well worth whatever he charges, as well as fair and unfailingly honest. A real gem of a tradesman and more importantly, human being.
This dude knows his stuff yall, I’m an up am coming tech and damn do I love these videos. I always learn something. I’d love to see you do more electrical videos and explanations!
Been a mechanic 50 years I'm always learning something from Mike and his videos I don't live to whole lot from in a little town North of Indianapolis been up by him to Michigan International Speedway 18 times plus lived worked in Detroit and Lansing Michigan recently found out that he is in Napoleon Michigan I'm told him I'm definitely going to come up and visit him and his shop probably ask apply for a job with him even if only part time I'm sure I'll be an asset to him
I've slowed down a little bit ready to get back in the game though with him being my mentor couldn't go wrong plus what type of tester is he using the red box I've seen him use to apply voltage to fuel pumps he could could check by making the pump run
fixed alot of these shit boxes. here in canada they rot like crazy and dealer doesnt sell a replacement relay box. so i drill out the old pins passa relay holder throught the old pins and put a new relay
your very good, your channel helps you. I do all home maitance cause everyone has a car. , too little money, and no interest in paying their car Doctor.
Also from CT and I couldn’t agree more. I am a dealer mechanic and this guy Mike is second to no one in my opinion.I work on one car brand and I’m great….at one car brand. I’ve been watching his channel for a while and this guy is the real deal. Watching this channel has made me a better tech. There’s cars I’ve watched Mike diag that are crazy hard. There are few guys as good. Much respect Mike and thank you, great channel.
Had a mopar come in one day doing the electrical funky chicken... turned out it'd been kidized. Every fuse slot had been filled, the poor car was confused, trying to run systems it didn't even have, throwing it into all sorts of things into disable. I found the map and set em all correctly did all the resets and a batt disconnect and she came back to life.
Haha when I was 3 I took all the fuses out my moms old Monte Carlo and used them to get this pink power wheels jeep going that was sitting for years. My gramma couldn't belive it she told my mom it hasn't worked in years. Then when It was time to go my moms car had no lights or anything really. Took them a while to put 2 and 2 together 😂. Thank dad for showing me how to pull fuses with 2 penny's 👍
Had a 2014 patriot and had to replace the throttle body at 35,000 miles. The dealership wouldn't warranty it as it was just over 36 months. Called corporate and they called the dealer because a throttle bidy shouldn't go bad that soon. They paid for the part which was almost $500 and I paid the labor and the diagnostic fee. It cost me less than $300 for that so I was mostly satisfied. What pissed me off is that they know it's a problem and just didn't warranty the damn thing. It was a good vehicle until some idiot hit me and totaled it for me....
Hey mike how do you bill for electrical diag? I have a shop In Massachusetts and I love doing electrical work. It’s one of my specialties actually. I’m just curious on how you bill and explain to the customer the parts were $3 and labor is $8000 lol. Would love to hear your feedback. Thanks
That's why I picked up a relay tester off the tool truck. Yes you can test them with the multimeter but plugging it in looking at lights unplugging it was just simpler and faster.
I used to figure this kind of S _ _ T Out All The Time. But since I Stopped being a Master Auto Mechanic back in 2004, there's that old saying, if you don't use it YOU LOSE IT. Uhhhhhhhh.
I have a starting issue with my 15 Camaro SS. After parking and getting back in vehicle shortly it struggles to start. If it starts, it goes into limp mode. I have to jump it to get it going like it should. Most mechanics say it's starter or alternator but I've had them replaced and no fix yet. Help?
Show me you're a great mechanic without telling me you're a great mechanic..... "Ma'am, here's your bill" "WHY DOES IT SAY 47 HOURS!......Oh, the bill is only for $90.00..... I thought it said $9000!"
ASD= ABSOLUTELY SH*TTY DESIGN. I can’t stand those systems/circuits on Chryslers. It’s a pain in the ass to diagnose. Why they couldn’t just run the systems like other cars do is beyond me. Then again when does any of the it 3 ever pay extra to go the extra mile for quality. Great work on this repair.
did you know how that less than 12 volts, will weld contact points together, and then , we'll that's our job. Llve large , your in demand, but nobody wants to pay.
More electrical diagnostic videos, I need that experience.
Seconding this.
Thirding
You are one heck of a good mechanic. Wish there was one where I live in Atlanta.
😂😂😂 good luck with that one gotta go a bit outside ATL to find that

Probably saved me 400$. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
This guy is a real mechanic 1st off hes got a power probe and I was yet to see anybody else hunt things down Good job

@@ronaldcallaway3139 he’s got a very nice test light that also looks like it shows available voltage
When your "known good" shits the bed, suddenly all bets are off!
Well played sir! Well played.
I wish I had a mechanic shop like you around here.
Another badass diagnosis
That's y I love your videos, the whole diagnostic process from customer states to dodgy new parts, it happens and is a early lesson to learn
fixed alot of these shit boxes. here in canada they rot like crazy and dealer doesnt sell a replacement relay box. so i drill out the old pins passa relay holder throught the old pins and put a new relay
That was a good one Mike. Tough one. Well done!
all data has a site to check rellays. its actually helpful. love your channel. 30 plus years experience . grounds and fuses , are where I start.
Finally A Tough Question To Answer....But still remarkably successful on this problem also. NOT SURPRISED!!!!
I used to switch ac clutch relays and horn relays all the time.
Thats what I do. The horn relay is the easiest to test. 😂
Great work Mike
If 2+2 doesn't equal 4, it's a lot more work and you have to question everything. Great diag!
Wow! Just wow! How long were you chasing that second one around?
your very good, your channel helps you. I do all home maitance cause everyone has a car. , too little money, and no interest in paying their car Doctor.
crazy crap for sure great job Mike.
You Rock my friend, salutations from Connecticut..

I really enjoy how you explain the issues in the video. How do people ask you questions? Do you know alot about the ls 6.0 engine?
I've been battling one of these. Both k frames and replaced a bunch of grounds.
I love watching someone who knows their shit
Way back when, I had a crank/no start with my Chrysler...turned out to be the ballast resistor.
this guy needs to teach this to my fellow v.a. mechanics
I like these. Never own this vehical. But your salt belt God. If anyone else says otherwise. Fish food they are
Ah the wire pokers, great for creating opens later down the road.
Dang you’re good
and another thing, that power probe is your best friend on electrical. need I say more.
It happens like that sometimes!! Send it! Next!!
Hell of mechanic
Nice job your a master for sure
Thank you so much for what you do. A real Mikanic😂
Chasing electrical gremlins 😂
impressive
You got a Power Probe as well. I love mine.
I have been there before, chase a problem that I thought I had
How do you like that scanner? Is it everything it’s cracked up to be? Looking into buying one and getting away from snap-on
Personally love it, can't beat it for the price either
Must be a jeep thing😊
Hey mike how do you bill for electrical diag? I have a shop In Massachusetts and I love doing electrical work. It’s one of my specialties actually. I’m just curious on how you bill and explain to the customer the parts were $3 and labor is $8000 lol. Would love to hear your feedback. Thanks
Any goof ball can chang parts...true mechanics are good diagnostic techs.!....real deal here gents...
Its a Chrysler product. Just drive it to nearest junkyard and park it.
That's why I picked up a relay tester off the tool truck. Yes you can test them with the multimeter but plugging it in looking at lights unplugging it was just simpler and faster.
I used to figure this kind of S _ _ T Out All The Time. But since I Stopped being a Master Auto Mechanic back in 2004, there's that old saying, if you don't use it YOU LOSE IT. Uhhhhhhhh.
So what was that relay part number? I’m having the same issue and can’t find that box anywhere
🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧Good job!

"WHY DOES IT SAY 47 HOURS!......Oh, the bill is only for $90.00..... I thought it said $9000!"
Its a Jeep Thing
Hey I’m having issues I have crank no start I replaced the relay but no luck all I got is crank (Jeep patriot 2010) any clue?
Give us a tattoo tour!
Hate those auto shut down on them and the vans. Wiring harnesses rub and set it off.
W
Never judge a book by it’s cover
So expect the new replacement too bad too😢....even after you figure it out....makes you doubt yourself as a newbie/less experienced
Even brand new items can be defective.
What's the chances of 2 bad relays
Do you recommend those earbuds for mechanics?
I would recommend the plug phones ones there a bit better for mechanics and allot cheaper
Gremlins!!
ASD= ABSOLUTELY SH*TTY DESIGN. I can’t stand those systems/circuits on Chryslers. It’s a pain in the ass to diagnose. Why they couldn’t just run the systems like other cars do is beyond me.
Then again when does any of the it 3 ever pay extra to go the extra mile for quality.
Great work on this repair.
Electrical is the 1 thing I have a hard time with.
These Jeeps are notorious for bad fuse blocks, relays will suffer low voltage damage like everything else.
Friggin' jeeps....
God I hate glitchy electrical problems.
Looks like it made you go chase another relay box. Apparently had a 2nd
try broken wire inside the sheathing
Crank no start? Isn't that normal for a Jeep?
Watch wes work just fixed this exact same problem check his video
Keep it running long enough for that transmission to blow up
Well I would be so frustrated I wouldn’t be sure where to start
😳
Ah. It’s a Jeep.
Bro how late are you working?
Go hiking give us a respite video let us know you have a life
🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧
Chrysler with electrical problems..
I know what's wrong. It's built by Chrysler.
🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧
did you know how that less than 12 volts, will weld contact points together, and then , we'll that's our job. Llve large , your in demand, but nobody wants to pay.
Messing with fuses is horrible, everything could be right and somehow it’s still wrong
Hate those gremlins
Will you get me a running 350 TB-shitty. I'm pretty poor, I can give you a box of ammo
🧰🔧🧰🔧🧰🔧😎
pos jeep
New cars suck so bad!
I've got a 2004 Nissan Murano the timing chain needs to be replaced they said how come I can't put the guides on it and be done with
Bad ground ?
The way you fix one of those jeeps is poor a can of gas in it and light it on fire. Freaking junk
