    There's a product called DeoxIT that's both an electrical contact cleaner and nonconductive lubricant. Might try putting that on contacts that may be corroded making it harder to separate connections. Can also be used after opened up to clean/lube, probably better than just regular electronics cleaner. Oh, and get the one with the standard spray top with tube, not the fancy tilt up tube one. The latter is terrible.

    Bolt and nut gravity in the South must work different than bolt gravity in the Northeast. Up here when they fall, they either roll away under a car two stalls over, or out into the gravel driveway, or into a hidden zone inside the fender or motor. Then, there are the 5% that hide so well you have to go to the parts bin and get a replacement.

      Trashes out then you got to come back then you have to fix it for free the way to do stuff is send it out the door right and if you see the customer for another repair knot associated to that that's great but come back work when a job's not done right it just cost you time and money have a good day

      @@hiscifi2986 The current passing through the positive terminal is equal to the current passing through the negative terminal at all moments in time.

      He cleaned the terminals but while he had the tray out it could have visited the parts washer.

    I learned in my youth to just use the Motorcraft part. Unless I could get the exact same part from the OE manufacturer cheaper. Like Monroe shocks or Bosche sensors.

    Harumph!...Pffft .Maybe it just me, but after all the work Ray did.., this Ford still blows more than it did when it first came in..."Well it does!
    Of course......,I'm only saying that because it's true.....
    Instead of a new gasket, I would have recommended a premium tub and tile seal, it doesn't attract mold and body hair doesn't stick to it. I also noticed, while cleaning the battery terminals, Ray could have at least extended the courtesy and added some tail for the tail lights and a bit of wind for the windshield.
    Gravity is often a relief for most dropped bolts when you can hear the familiar cLiNk*-cLAnK!-cLUnK*, its when they remain silent during the free fall that you have to worry, then you have to mount a search party and that sucks.
    Excellent Service / thorough job as always Ray...

    Ray. Go to Lowe's and go to the plumbing department and get inside pipe wire cleaners. They come in 3 different sizes and they work great for cleaning battery cable connectors.

    What’s funny for me is I recently replaced my expedition blower but it turned out the it was the plastic cage that cracked and failed, creating vibration and noise…. Put a new motor in anyway as well. Thanks for bring us along again, Ray.

      Yep, if it doesn't come complete with the plastic cage, reject it.

    Kinda a waste of a motor when all it needs is a good cleaning but I guess that's the industry. Great stuff as always Ray!

    • @donho3617
      @donho3617 2 года назад

      A cleaning would not make it last. Usually when a blower motor will run when when you tap it, it usually means the bushings have either gone bad or the brushes have worn down and both those parts are not serviceable. Also in a service garage environment, if you do that and it comes back, the customer will expect you to warranty the repair and want the fan motor replaced for free.

    Wow that was surprisingly easy for a van with a tiny hood/room/engine compartment..Go figure...Of course it probably won't be that easy for those of us who haven't done it 17 times..Fine job...

      Not his first rodeo. On the other one he twisted and tuned the blower motor mannnnny times before coming up with the old pull the AC drier out the way for more room for the FIX and the WIN....

    Can’t tell you how many ambulances I’ve done that job on. We also blow and vacuum out the fan box. Right inside there is the AC evaporator. We spray it with non-acid coil cleaner and rinse with water. Opens up the condensation drain and does wonders for the overall air conditioner performance. Typically we did not have to mess with the battery as they were relocated to a compartment in the back.
