For real
Good morning Ray, good video. I have a quick story, I was with my wife sitting in traffic and she said "Wow I've never seen the temp gauge that high" I started to find a way out of traffic QUICK the AC had also started blowing warm air too. Long story short it was the electric fan I smacked it with my lug wrench and it came on yay 😁 !! Luckily the high pressure valve didn't have time to discharge any freon 👍. The part of your video when the runaway 10 mm took a dash I was like yup there goes another one Lol. You have the coolest tools that magnet is a life saver for sure !!
Thank you for another great video!! And don't forget to have yourself a great day 👍👍✌️🇺🇸😊.
PS thank you for your service 💯
When that 10 mm went bye bye - I thought yep there goes another to be sacrificed to the 10 mm gods.
I find if my heater is cold - then the coolant is low because it not circulating any coolant to the heater core. It how I found the coolant leak from the LPG gas convertors under the bonnet. My car on LPG has 2 convertors using coolant heat to vaporise? the GAS to Liquid conversion. EDIT - my car wont switch over to LPG from Petrol unless temp at 35c or higher (1/4 on temp gauge).
Wow! A K-Mart torque wrench! Cool! You can't get those anymore. Definitely a keeper.
Crimper gravity!
Great video!
Hi Ray. I enjoy watching your videos. I am a retired professional auto/truck technician with over 40 years of experience. I have never seen a saddered connection melt because of high load.
“Soldered” NOT “saddered” 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Agreed, the lowest melting point solder (63-37) melts at 374 deg F and the plastic wire insulation will melt off before the solder would. A proper solder joint will make a lower resistance connection that is corrosion resistant and physically stronger than the wire.
Every time I see you work on a modern car I think how I used to work on my Triumph Spitfire in the mid-70's:
1. Raise hood - whole front of the car opens forward
2. Sit on front tyre, either side, and tinker with distributor, carbs, rockers, etc - in total comfort. Often with a pipe wrench as the only tool.
Ours had a Copper hammer for wire wheels , venting frustrations
Oh yes, Spitfire. SU carbs, U-joints everywhere... changed them while laying in the snow in the winter in Maryland
I restored a 63 Spitfire as a retirement project. So easy to work on it, just as you describe. I look at my 2014 Honda and don’t know where to start!
@@Taid44 while most can't diagnose/fix late models , we can attempt to and @ least make them 'Different'.......
AWESOME info!
I feel comfortable with tearing into an engine and replacing bearings but I had no idea how much the fans had to do with the AC refrigerant .
THANK YOU!
Where was the "dramatic" sound when you pulled out the brake cleaner?? Haha!! I love that! Keep up the great videos!
I assembled my first 3d printer yesterday and I caught myself saying "connector click".... Great content as always Ray
Now you have realized how easily the mind is programmed.
The CORPORATE GOVERNMENT uses sucj knowledge to
manipulate people and indoctrinate the, with lies and deception

So they become obedient servants of the CORPORATE GOVERNMENT RELIGION

indoctrinated to accept authority as truth instead of truth as authority.
Then they cheer for the slave masters- wave the flag and get shit in return.
How dumb is that ?

I've been doing the same thing. =P
My mechanic said I need a new oil pan gasket but I asked him why would I want to disable the self lubricating chassis feature?
Ray it's so good to see an honest mechanic. Also I wish I had tools like you have now days to work on cars. All I had were regular hand tools, creepers, no electrical type and the wrenches you have now great ratchet box end wrenches. Keep up the good work
I am so envious of the modern tools Ray uses. I remember turning nuts and bolts a partial turn at a time when a ratchet wouldn't fit and using my chest as the transmission jack while laying up under cars to change out TH350s and TH400s. The one repair I've yet to see Ray perform is replacing a drive shaft that has been twisted with so much force that it pinched into two parts. I did make the most of what tools I did have back in the 70s when I was into drag racing.
Yes you’re right. And on top of all that, you’ve Got to have the computer savvy just to turn a wrench. I’ve learned a Lot from Ray and Eric and Wes. They would make great Shop Teachers!
I'm 73 yo so I'm very old school did not have computers back then just real cars not the complex things now
@@fhurlburt6532 New cars are still real. I kinda liked having older vehicles that were all mechanical, but the new tech is oh so very nice from a comfort perspective. And as much as I love the sound of a carb sucking in air, I get more power from my little 4 banger than I did from the 305 that was in my first three Chevys ('84 C10, '86 El Camino, '76 Malibu).

The thing I like most about your videos is your desire to do the best job you can and not treat the customer like an ATM that spits out free cash. I only wish customers would take you up on advice more, but unfortunately we have some mechanics out there who get it wrong or upsell way too much which puts people off. Anyway, keep up the good work Ray - you restore some faith back in humanity.
There are good people out there -
people who have ethics -- and they
have high value - That is why customers
keep coming back.
" ......... what evil lurks in the heart of man" Your knowledge of vehicle repair, cultural history i. e. "Shadow knows" and double entendre are all worthy of great laudation. Walter Gibson & Lamont Cranston would be proud.
There's always something nice about watching an oil change... maybe it's the flow of dirty horrible oil coming out and knowing clean good oil will be going in.
Yes. Extremely satisfying!
could watch it all day right.
Out with the hate, and in with the love.

I have yet to understand why the need to torque the bolt for the oil pan drain. It's under low pressure and not prone to leak. The Honda dealership changed the oil on my Acura and later I changed the oil and had to use a cheater pipe to get the plug broke loose. Hand tight should be more than enough.
Ray, if I have learned anything from all of your videos, it is that Brake Cleaner will be used on every job no matter what it is from this point forward.
You are an amazing tech and I wish you lived near me (or I lived near you), I would bring my vehicles to you every time.
Ray, I really enjoiy your videos please keep them coming. But as a retired Marine electrician I have to disagree with your crimp against soldier stance.
In high current circuits. The crimp, no matter how well installed, will show resistance. That resistance causes heat and that causes expansion in the joint. the copper wire swells with the heat and pushes the crimp fitting open just a fraction, when the current is shut down the conductor shrinks again then it really starts to loosen off and the bad joint causes more heat, more shrinking/swelling and the crimp continues to be expanded and loosened. You will have seen how the insulation in the back of old spade joints etc has hardened and blackened, even damaging the conductor, till the joint fails.
Ofcause this action is dependent on the Conductors max carrying ability and the amps passing through it.
You stated you didn't solder this fan joint because it is a high current circuit, I will tell you that a soldered joint, done properly will heat less than the conductor itself, because the joint is coated with lead, so you have the current carrying capacity of the conductor and that of the lead added to it.
Anyway that's my 5 cents worth, looking forward to your next video.
Right on Cliff. 👍
Electrical engineer here, spot on.
The only reason crimping is preferred in a vehicle is due to road vibration, solder if done wrong in any way will be too brittle to last.
Hi Cliff - I totally agree with your remark on the crimp option. I would have changed over the outer connector body with the one removed which most likely would have solved the issue. However, Ray is a fantastic engineer and I really enjoy his videos and engineering wisdom, keep them coming!
I can tell you that much: if you have a proper solder joint, heating up due to current will be the least of your problems. Vibration? Maybe. It's always better to keep connections of any kind steady.
If the normal operating current would really melt a solder joint, the cable diameter itself was too small to begin with and its insulation would have melted off anyway.
hear me out here…..electrical tape
7:22 I love that design. Aims the dirty oil directly on top of the frame to make sure it splashes absolutely everywhere.
I think you may require a reset yourself Ray. Your ‘click’ action seems to be a bit weak. But your count laugh was spot on… great job as always Ray.
Vacation time maybe?
That last minute decision to recover and recharge the AC system it’s just going to put the wife unit in a happy mood and solidify her as a return customer nice work
Thanks Ray, I learned something about AC systems on this one. After 168k miles, it can be expected that various components like that high speed fan will be worn out. Those clacking/clicking plastic vent actuators that require disassembly of the entire dash to replace come to mind.
The 2006 - 2012 Chevy Impala was notorious for the vent actuator going bad, it would eventually get to the point where it could start a parasitic drain on the battery (personal experience) but at least I could get them replaced without disassembly of the dash (I am a small person)
I have a 14 Honda Accord with 205,000 miles. So far the only failures have been the sun visor and two light bulbs. The minivan in the video I'm guessing has lots and lots of short trips and lives where you use the A/C a few more months a year then me.
@@danr1920 Not a Honda guy,,,,, but you can’t argue with truth ! LOL
Wow what a professional mechanic
Glad you checked the AC charge. With it venting one knew it would be low. I agree with the other comment about the white interior of the new fan being to long.
OEM v aftermarket parts
Dorman at that
I knew the moment it launched off that it was a 10mm socket. You could tell by the evasive maneuvers it took after takeoff :))
Great job Ray , you make everything looks so easy .
it's the illusion he creates by knowing how to proceed. No longer a popular approach, but only aquired thru experience
@@peted5217 most aftermarket parts are “ junk “ today! You learn real real quick how to “ Leroy” stuff & move on…..especially in a flat rate shop !

That would work for electricians, too!
I feel like if I keep watching rays videos I’ll know how to fix cars. 😁
Terrific demo video!! Learned yet again from your knowledge. Not the most complex repair but the deductive reasoning was worth the time. Having the correct equipment really does make the difference!!
Nicely done Sir!!! 🏆
I have to say your the best mechanic in all 50 states. You never cut corners your spot on with details and you actually care about the safety of your customers. I wish we had mechanics here in Kentucky half as good as you. I've been tempted a couple times to drive down south to have you work on my vehicles. If by chance you know of any good mechanics here in Kentucky please let me know. I once had to drive to Tennessee to get a issue resolved because no one here in my state could figure it out and once I arrived to the mechanic in Tennessee it took him only 15 minutes to figure out the problem. If you ever move closer to home please give me a holler. Keep up the good work your one in a million.
The last socket I dropped in the front of a car like that, I ended up chasing rocks and clumps of mud around. I thought I was knocking around the socket. In the end, the drivers headlamp, battery and battery tray had to come out. Socket found it's way below the battery tray and not down all the way down like I thought.
As someone who has run a ton of road races, sockets are very common found items on the side of the road.
One day I’ll pull the engine from my car and find all the 10mm sockets I’ve lost.
figure that 10 mm was going to the lost sock world.lol enjoy all the vids,you make Ray.never a dull moment.
I would have laughed if you fished a different 10mm out from a previous fix. Lmao.
OR, another Snap-on 10mm! They DO certain changes after all. Maybe just to the “script” but those are still quantitatble changes.
I once had a 10mm fly off my socket wrench in the engine bay and I swore that it went down in there somewhere. I shined a light around there for several minutes but couldn't find it. Chalked it up as a loss. About a week or two later, I drove over to my mechanic buddy's house (several highway miles away), and when he pops the hood, I see over on the passenger side sitting plain as day my bit. It was resting on top of a metal bracket right below the hood. I was surprised by how much in the open it was and by how it stayed seated there for the duration of the drive.
@@nottelling4828 sooo true, has happened to me too! LOL

Hey Ray. Another good one with my morning coffee. You make your work look too easy. Thanks…….click
I’m not sure how I got here, glad about it as I really like your content. I love work…I can watch it all day.
No fan running for the AC is the same as telling someone to stop breathing air. Stay safe and be well.
Huh?
@@SeanONeill13 it means “ give yourself a kick in the ass!” & turn a fan on ! LOL
@@fredwalker839 Huh?
You taught me something today Ray I had no idea the pressure would get that high from that fan not running, I also had no idea the AC compressor has a pressure release valve!!
Awesome work!
Using my double masters degree in paused video analysis and 2014 Honda Odyssey fan connector engineering, it looks like the new connector had the white thingy mobobby inside the new connector extends further than the original by about 10mm not allowing it to seat far enough in to lock it.
I agree.
You have massive audiences! You have a comforting channel to watch. I can watched repeat again! I see U getting good at your theme.
...and i'll tell you all abt it when i see you again...
It is clear to me that you have learned the lesson I never managed to learn -- that it is better to spend two or three minutes to remove more parts that are in the way than to spend 10 or 15 minutes fighting with it doing it the "easy way."
Being old enough for free coffee I have recently started letting the younger kids do some of the grunt work on my vehicles- a few months back I had a young mechanic at the yard I drive rigs out of change the vacuum pump o-ring on my 3.5 Ecoboost. I'm just too damn old for laying across an engine anymore...
Bolt gravity reached up and grabbed one of the 3 pump bolts, and he went into full panic mode when he couldn't find it. It was a Sunday, we are out in BFG, and he knew no one would be open to get a replacement. After letting him sweat for a bit I grabbed the antigravity fishing rod and with a few tries pulled it out from between the trans heatshield and the cab floorpan. He now has one in HIS toolbox!
I liked your showing to remove the hood latch and 2nd fan- so many people will fight for an hour to save from spending 2 minutes moving things out of the way (Ford 1st Gen Escape fan assembly for example). As always, great video!
Love your channel . One thing, soldering those high current joints would have been better. Solder melts at 400-450f. If it gets that hot under the hood, then there is a fire, and with a underhood fire, who cares about a fan working.?😜. P.s. Watching this post, i just went out and checked own fans!!
Throw aftermarket out the service door & wait for Dealer parts !
Those butt connectors are subject to water when it rains too. Corrosion problems in the future.
Double down with epoxy-filled crimp connectors covering a soldered joint.
@@gregjohnson2073 he used heat shrink. Its fine
These small diagnosis and repair jobs are so enjoyable to watch.....
Had a Honda Odyssey, New from a highly rated dealership, (The first year they came up with the large size model). With all the services done at the dealership, and less than two years of use, the damn thing would not pickup speed no matter how much I press on the gas Pedal. Received a letter from Honda about a recall for that particular issue. They said that cables near the ignition switch get hot and engine losses power.
Called the dealer for an appointment, got one over a month later. Took the van in, got it back the next day, dealer claims they did all the recall repairs.
The van wouldn’t pickup speed out of the dealer’s lot. Stopped and told them about the problem still existing. They got mad and told me to leave and never come back. Took it to another dealer, they refused to work on the recall since another dealer has done the work already.
The next day, took it to a Hyundai dealership, traded it in with a brand-new Sonata. Never been happier, and never looked back at Honda again.
Awww. I have a 2008, with that same 3.5l engine with 150k miles. Just did the timing belt and valve cover gaskets (thanks ETCG). I can put 11 sheets of 3/4 plywood in the back if I take out the middle seats (Hurricane Irma) - it's my truck of choice. Regularly drive it 1000 miles up North to see the kids. It'll last forever, as long as I treat it right. It's also comfortable as heck for us tall folks.
My wife has a ten year old Civic with 50k miles. Other than change fluids, it hasn't needed anything but a battery and a set of tires. My 2001 Goldwing just runs and runs. These ancient Hondas rock. Sounds like your problem was with the dealers, not the cars.
Honda is a scam
I believe the issue with the connector was due to an insecure fit of the pins to the plastic allowing them to bend and jam when you try and connect it. It happened often with the old school molex power connectors. Solution was to pull on the cables to make sure they are tensioned and straight as you plug the connector and maybe jiggle them a bit.
At about 22:45 when comparing the connectors you can see the white piece is not seated as far down on the original so it prevented it from going that last little bit.
came here to say the same

I have a torque wrench just like that from my grandfather. Still in the box because I thought I’d pass it down some day.
My dad had one, too. He thought these beam style torque wrenches were more accurate than the click style. Unfortunately, his tools never made the cross-country trip to me after his passing. Executor thought I already had tools, and dad's tools weren't worth shipping across the country to me. Executor was probably right. I was a Sears Craftsman kind of guy. Dad bought his tools wherever they were cheapest. (Both of us were shade-tree mechanics working on our own cars, and not professional mechanics)
@@berkeleygang1834 craftsman is as good as anything when used properly, most of my tools are Craftsman. Plus I was a material handling field svc tech for a number of years and you could trade a broken tool at any Sears which used to be plentiful. My Dad passed a lot of tools down to me, he was a machinist in Timken Roller Bearings RR division 37 years. He gave me calipers, dial bore indicators etc. old, quality tools, Dads are the coolest, if I was ever 1/2 the man he is/was I’d be thrilled.
Click!
@@berkeleygang1834 You notice Ray only uses it for pan drain plugs for fun! He can leave it out in the open & young thieves won’t steal it ! for they don’t know what it is ! LOL
I've been a "fan" of Ray's videos since watching the first one I saw on RUclips.
I have one of those torsion torque wrenches, very accurate but hard for my old eyes to see. lol In that electrical plug it looked like it had an inner white plastic ring that wasn't as deeply inset as the original, likely why it wouldn't "click"
To me, it looked like the two blades were a bit 'out-of-center' making them bump against the opposing plug innards instead of sliding into the slots.
Possibly, but the pins looked slightly bent to one side too and they were probably preventing the connectors from joining.
What I do with a beam torque wrench is put a piece of masking tape on it, using its edge at the goal for today's torque setting.
G'day from Australia.
Love the channel mate, such good content and great dialogue. 10 out of 10. Thank you.
Haha Ray your torque wrench was exactly the same as my KMART wrench from 40 years ago!! You must have bought yours at a clearance sale😂
Or got it from an old guy like me that bought a big dollar kicker! I gave mine away 30 yrs. ago,….and he still today has it!…… poop ! LOL
Gee I wish I’d have given mine away instead of trying to be a mechanic! 😂
Thanks for all your info! Love your comments ❤️.
Ray better get this repair done correctly as the customer knows where Ray lives.
Not only where he lives, but also where he sleeps...
Also having to explain to the woman of the house why her van overheated picking up the kids, AGAIN, is a place you probably don't want to be. :)
Nice Eric O reference while working on that Hondoo with the big 3.5. Now you just need a Mrs. O to run the front end of the shop, make delicious meals and be awesome.
I can definitely see Rays kid at school watching their teacher struggle with something and the kid is like “Just give it the ol’ reach around” 😂 Great content, keep it coming 🤘🏾

No, I did not like this video...
I absolutely LOVED it! ❤️
Like 👍 how you pulled out the fan, save time and money 💰 🤑 💸..Like watching you work on vehicles for the experience and insight 🤔 on how it's done ✔️
I was a little disappointed that the zip tie mod didn't come in to play to secure the plug for the high flow fan.
That! Was next! LOL
Happy customer here we come ☺️😊😊
The eco mode on those engines seems to be terrible for their operation and longevity. Seems to make them burn oil and shake a bit. I found an adjustable resistor that goes on the coolant temp sensor and lies to the ecu about operating temp to disable the eco mode.
VCM tuner or VCM muzzler. I have it on my 2012 Accord V6 and it reduces oil consumption a lot.
I did the same thing to my 2008 Odyssey (VCM Muzzler). I've never looked back.
@@peterdang9475 saves those stupid expensive motor mount bandaids that honda put on the 3.5 to counter the vibrations too.
Knowing full well how "Wife Units" operate, I doubt very seriously that said unit will be interested in watching this video to see how her vehicle was diagnosed and subsequently repaired.
All that wife units require is a functioning AC unit.
Therefore, I have tappy tapped this videos like button and even shared it with MY wife unit that probably won't watch it anyways.
Thank you. And now it is time for ME to have a great rest of my day.👍
I haven't missed one video
You probably had a 50/50 chance with the fan removal going either up or down.
Hilarious dated references and the double entendres are flying in your witty banter today...gotta love that.
Question: didn’t you say in the last air conditioning service video that you like to change out the high and low side Schrader valves on older vehicles because of O ring degradation?
I’ve already done that on this van, about 6 weeks ago…I see you pay attention to details Bravo sir! 😉
@@thomaskasprzak6290 Uh, the high speed fan was bad causing an overpressure vent. Kinda what the entire video was about. 🙄
I hope you're trolling.
Technically, the pressure relief valve should be replaced as it could open at a lower pressure threshold than designed and/or leak refrigerant. Problem is, usually that valve is only available with a new compressor.
The replacement of a compressor when the threshold of a relief valve is reached shouldn’t matter as long as it doesn’t open to relieve during normal operating temps. Surely we have more to worry about than a weak relief valve ive had a weak valve for years!😁
@@johnlarkin549 I agree... As long as it doesn't leak. However, it is within the realm of possibilities that it could blow at a lower pressure (within the working pressure) in the future. It's just something I'd inform the customer about. In this case it's his own car so no big deal.
thanks for the real world demonstration of real hardware and the great commentary/description
23:15 - not going to solder because its a high current circuit?? Solder melts around 180C (355F) if the cable is that hot I think you have bigger problems...
Very true! But sounded good! LOL
I thought the same!
Where is my faith in you, Ray? When you started to pull the drivers side fan out I said to myself, "he's never getting that out thorough there." Well, that was true, but you didn't try for there, you took the other fan out and brought it out through the other side. Well done!
hey ray! i got a question for you if you see this! how can you be sure that your oil jugs have the correct amount, due to them not being a graduated cylinder? i noticed that the guns in our shop do not match the lines on the jugs.
he is one hell of a mechanic.
watching you I've become a FAN of all the repairs you do, I notice your not wearing your color-coordinated gloves WHY
Vehicle is that of the wife unit. No need 😆
It's great having all the tools 🔧 you need to get the job done. You made that look too easy.
All’s it takes is “money!”
should have a contest on the number of cans of brake clean per week that Ray uses? lol
Lol, and buy stock in that brake clean company 🤣 😂 😄
Am I the only one that thinks we have helped Ray with a fan repair like this one, in the past year or so? This removing a working fan to make room to get the broken one out seems familiar to me. Still a great video, even if it proves to be similar to one from the past. I ask this as a check of my memory. My memory is starting to go faster than a can of Ray's brake clean!
If the pressure is going high enough to blow the relief then the high pressure cut out switch most likely faulty as well.
that is if it has one. yes it should.
i hate the systems that have the fan cycle switch , if i have the AC on i want the fans running at full speed.
Even Ray is not immune to the curse of the disappearing 10mm socket...
Love brake clean but remember its a solvent so please keep it off our skin where possible
Water is also a solvent!

Crowbar diagnostics... My favorite!
As a Honda lube tech it was absolutely maddening to watch you overfill the oil and struggle with the odometer button. You had most of the reset process correct, after it stops flashing you release the button and then hold it down again till it shows 100%
I dig the "bang on it" method of diagnosis 😋👍
Thanks Ray, nice to hear from you once again.
New to the channel I can’t stop watching , so many interesting things to learn , being I fix my own cars and soMetimes sell them this helps me learn new things
Gave a tappy tap on the like, that fan blade definitely had a wobble.
Edit, I guess you have been a mech for a while but your level of confidence still amazes me. When you asked can I do it? (remove the fan) my response was 'course he can, seen him at work before, the man has skills
I wish all mechanics were as knowledgeable as you are. Love your videos Ray and I have learned a lot watching you...like what certain parts do and what causes them to go bad.

for survival - and humans are born with a gift for something.
Everything else is learned from some 'one' else ...
No Body can teach -- as every body id found buried in the
cemetery along with all the other bodies.
I saw you use one of those little drain plug grabber things a while back and got one. I can already tell you it's saved my fingers a few times.
12:45 Commanded the Universe for everything to go to plan; immediately drops something! 😂
Ray, you know we are cool with oil change videos.
Never messed with A/C, did not know the pressure would go up without the cooling fan. Pretty cool.
That’s why “ fan clutches” were invented many moons ago ! ( before electric fans) LOL
@@fredwalker839 funny ,thanks man
Good day Ray welcome from Ohio. When you said check the head pressure it reminded me of when I was doing truck refrigeration thru the Thermo King. They always referred to the high side as head pressure. And you sir have a good day down there in Florida.
"tricked you into an oil change video" Mr Ray please trick me more, oil changes are way too satisfying.
You are a great teacher.
How old ARE you, Ray? Your comment "the shadow knows" goes back to when I was a kid, way before TV, and I am 83! Really enjoy your videos. Wish every auto mechanic was as thorough as you are and used half as much Brakkleen! Seriously, how many cans do you go through in a week?
I am gratified to see you using a proper filter with synthetic oil, way to go Ray! Get rid of those Advance Auto reds!!
Yes but unfortunately many shops don’t take to much of the shops techs input ah well as they could. BUT (that being said) it would likely change the price for an oil change another $10-15. Pay now or pay later, I know. That’s just the shop watching it’s bottom line and not communicating super well with the customers. Any brand of parts that you want; quality cost 💲
Hi Great videos !!! Look into new double crimp plyers in one grip . They also don't let loose until completely crimped ! Not sure mfg. I got mine at interstate battery .
Like your work Ray, great diagnosing, well done Sherlock!
Properly crimped connectors are fine - especially if they are sealed watertight. Properly made soldered connections are better. They have lower resistance, meaning they do not heat up as much as any other kind of connection. Any soldered connection that heats up enough to melt the solder only does so if it is carrying too much current for the wires it connects.
