THANK YOU. My tail lights stopped working all of a sudden and it didn’t make sense for them all to stop working all at once. I did a soft reset, then a reset holding the brake pedal and that didn’t work. I was about to schedule service until I found this video and after following the steps, everything worked perfectly. Again thanks
Works like a charm! After the physical alignment for my wheel and tyre, do the hard reset, and all my autopilot functions back to normal. I'm barely doing it with any experience in EV, just following the step and Voila! All back to normal with all the issues gone!
Thank you so much, Naush! Not everyone knows how to do this little trick, but they should. I bet that you feel bad that you took pliers to your battery terminal instead of using a 10mm socket or open end/box wrench 🔧. A great little tool is an adjustable jaw wrench/Crescent wrench.
Thanks a lot, Nash! "Park assist unavailable" error just happened to me today (software 2021.4.12). Installing software update 2021.4.15, and multiple soft resets had ZERO effect. Found a link to your video via Tesla forum and it worked like a charm! A few hints: - normal 10mm wrench socket will be too shallow. I used 11mm and it managed to grip the nut only just but very fiddly... so pliers could be the only alternative here - Make sure you push the contactor connector under the rear seat down all the way until you hear a thud. The first time I did it, I thought I did it, but there was no thud. I then tried again, and it fell even deeper and I finally heard the thud... I'm super happy it worked, tho I was a bit skeptical initially.
+Oleg Kazakov mate I sure am glad it worked for u. I was super sceptical myself. Quite happy it worked. I didn’t even prepare myself so had only the pliers.
I am glad mate. So many videos out there talk about soft reboot which fixes far less problems. And they get million views. 😂 Hope more people watch this.
Yup, fixed my woes: Black or slow to show backup cam, constant 'tesla lane departure avoidance features unavailable' popup, turn signal cam slow to show or black. Follow the instructions, wear safety glasses when working around the battery (safety first : ) - One thing I would add, that I didn't see in the vid and may or may not have been addressed was, you do have to do a 'soft' two thumb wake up, all updates, driver configs, spotify, ,etc., remained in tact. Thank you, the perfect lesson, Cheers!
Hi Nash, When you as k the car to power down you should be in the back seat and wait 5 mins until you hear the "clunk" (contactors opening). No need to play with the connector under the seat. Now you can disconnect the battery and wait one minute before replacing the connector... Full reset done!
@@kirkmaluo No you power down the car from the backseat FIRST and wait there 5 minutes until you hear the "clunk", then unhook the battery, wait 1 minute then reconnect the battery.
Hey Nash, I tried this hard reset to fix the park assist error, following the instructions but it still has that error. U reckon anything else could be tried ? May be wait a bit longer before reconnecting the under seat connector ??
If I dropped a wrench accidentally into the abyss next to the 12v battery, is it stuck down there until I retrieve it or will it fall out while I’m driving?
+Shep hey mate have u tried using a stiff fishing line ? Or a metal clothes hanger ?? I have found using good bubble gum on a long flexible stick does wonders !!! :) If it’s truly stuck do try a bit of a bumpy road
@@TeslaInTheGong Hi Tesla I tried using one of those magnetic pickup tools and a flashlight and couldn’t find it haha. Do you think it might have fallen out? It’s one of those tiny wrenches
You won't believe how many videos I had to sift through to find one that actually went over the correct, proper method of rebooting the Model 3 - not "hold the brake and push the buttons" (that does nothing but reboot the MCU - holding the brake does nothing extra). Of course, this video ends up only getting 485 views at the time of this comment... while other misleading videos get 16k+. Oof.
@@TeslaInTheGong Thank you, thank you, thank you! GPS navigating system is back, cameras are back, fast charges is back, internet streaming is back W/no hiccups, autopilot is back. Again thank you!
Note there is absolutely no reason for anyone to do this unless you've been modifying your car. If you have a fault that has come up spontaneously the ONLY action you should take is to log a job with Tesla. If you are modifying your car (such as fitting trailer wiring) then you should absolutely shut it down before you start work. Also, using pliers on nuts is barbaric! No, no, no.
Disagree on the absolutely no reason to be doing this. Two, now famous Tesla owners (Ian and Greg), both had to wait considerable time for Tesla service, only to be told there was nothing wrong. This seems to be the only way to completely remove 12V power from all systems and sensors in the car. As the famous IT crowd saying goes "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" rings true here! As for the Macgyver pliers .. hmm, the jury's out ..
Yeah, a big ton of crap there my friend. Tesla has introduced firmware bugs in the past that, for example, caused the audio system to go dead until power-cycled... or in my case, caused the charge-port door to constantly try closing itself (burning out the motor, much?). Hard subsystem faults. Software isn't perfect. Rebooting the car is something that should be a lot more straightforward to do (thanks Tesla for giving us that useless, placebo "shut down car" button - it literally does nothing but fake the appearance of doors being closed, to make pencil-pushers happy). A simple reboot like this solves many problems, none of which involve modifications.
The reason would be, I have an issue that this will probably fix. I have a service schedule with Tesla. Their first appt is 2 weeks out. I have no back up cam, no cruise control, no autopilot, no gps, no nav, no auto garage door, etc. so I am going to give this a try while waiting for Tesla for 2 weeks. No modifications to my car.

So glad it worked mate. Much love.
This just helped me out a ton. My autopilot, cameras, and GPS were all not working. This took all of 10 minutes to fix it.
Mate. I am really glad I could help. I would love for more to see this. Most reset videos are about soft reset and they get 1M views lol
Thank you this helped alot. After a glitchy screen for about 3 weeks, this fixed the problem!
Glad it helped! Share away mate. Much love.
Brilliant, had a few EVs since 2014 and they have all needed to do that. Now I know how to do it on the Model 3 I have now - thank you.
+John Wilson hey mate. U are welcome 🙏🏾
Thank you! This worked great.
So
Glad to hear that :)
Good one Nash. Wanted to know how to do this properly on a Model 3, I only knew for pre-facelift Model S. I love the new intro!
Hey thanks mate !!!
Thanks so much. Solved my issue!
Really glad mate. Much love. Please share.
Thanks for the great video!
U are welcome mate. Hope it helped

Yes. Wrench is better. I just went with what I had at hand.
Thanks a lot, Nash!

+Chris Pfeifer wow. Much much love mate. Thank you so so much. Glad it fixed !!! Will pin this message too
+Chris Pfeifer
Hopefully I won't ever need to do this, Nash, but thanks for showing us how it's done when necessary.
+michaelfink64 hope it’s useful
Mate. But do be careful

Mate. Wow. That’s is awesome. Should try that and make a follow. Massive thanks mate. 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Are you saying disconnect the 12V battery, then wait one minute and the high voltage battery should disconnect?
@@kirkmaluo No you power down the car from the backseat FIRST and wait there 5 minutes until you hear the "clunk", then unhook the battery, wait 1 minute then reconnect the battery.
Hey Nash, I tried this hard reset to fix the park assist error, following the instructions but it still has that error. U reckon anything else could be tried ? May be wait a bit longer before reconnecting the under seat connector ??
1 min should do the trick mate. Try one more time. If it doesn’t work please have it checked with tesla to make sure it’s not a hardware fault.
@@TeslaInTheGong ok. I ll give it another go. I did book a service request and they said software fix can fix it. But it hasn't. ..anyways thanks mate
Does this method remove all the data configuration ?
+Bernard Kessell nope. It does not. All ur settings remain
This procedure fixed a "Park Assist unavailable" error after software updates after 2021.4.11
+Klaus Lovgreen wow. Glad I could help. Same with mine as well mate.
I am having the same issue too with M3LR
So be careful mate. Don’t take it lightly. But it’s an easy fix for sure.
I'll probably go to tesla
I did mate. They couldn’t solve tis problem so had to take matters in my hands.
If I dropped a wrench accidentally into the abyss next to the 12v battery, is it stuck down there until I retrieve it or will it fall out while I’m driving?
+Shep hey mate have u tried using a stiff fishing line ? Or a metal clothes hanger ??

@@TeslaInTheGong Hi Tesla I tried using one of those magnetic pickup tools and a flashlight and couldn’t find it haha. Do you think it might have fallen out? It’s one of those tiny wrenches
Thats a scary thing to do mate. But so glad all works fine. Will the hard reset, reset all the updates installed?
Hi mate. Not at all. It does not reset the updates. I believe it reset cache memory so any bugs that came with the update are squashed

Thanks mate. Very kind words. Please do share. I try my best to make useful content as much as possible. Get the most out of the car we love.
I just hit the "power off" button in the safety tab, watched this video, turned the car back on and my camera worked again.
Glad it helped mate. ❤️❤️❤️
I'll give this a try and report back.
Sure thing mate
@@TeslaInTheGong Thank you, thank you, thank you! GPS navigating system is back, cameras are back, fast charges is back, internet streaming is back W/no hiccups, autopilot is back.
Again thank you!
@@AwesomeBlackDude sweeeeeeeeettttt glad I could help mate. Cheers 🥂
Lol at me. Drivers side. Wtf. Got so confused in the US
Why the goggles? You would connect with your audience in much better way without them :)
Hey thanks mate. Yeah my wife said that too. It is not necessary right. I’ll keep that in mind
