Auction Car Special - Nissan Rogue Passenger Window Problem
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- In this video I have a look at this Nissan Rouge that the used car guy sent to us. He got it from the auction and is having a hard time with the passenger window. It will go up but won't come down. It doesn't matter if you try it from the master switch or from the passenger switch it does the same thing. Let's have look and see what we figure out.
-Enjoy!

Love seeing you support the local pick n pull. These places get more essential every day with the declining quality of aftermarket parts.
I only wish I lived even within a hundred K of a pick n pull.
@@johnarnold893 They can be few and far between, I'm really glad I have one in town
@@pacdude11 I wouldn't be able to survive without it in our town.
The declining quality and the increasing price. Not to mention the often non availability or on perpetual back order issue.
the problem is, electrical/electronic and most mechanical parts are usually all in the same shape within the useable year range/models.
unless you happen to find one which was never used or minimally. ( drivers side is usually spent heavily). years ago I used to repair window switches if not fully melted down and one melted was often caused by a sticking switch on other door. not melted was often a coffee/soda/rain/winter highway salt(smokers leaving window cracked).
I was fixing that junk as pre-teen and teen kid in the late 1980's++
The reason he's never gotten a bad part from Wilberts is because he knows what a bad part looks like.
Thanks, Eric!
Even Eric says he has been lucky. There is no way of knowing if there is a bad contact or contacts in an enclosed switch just by looking at the switch.
When he unplugged the electrical connectors on the switch box, he could see that the copper contacts were clean and shiny indicating no corrosion.
Wilberts wouldn't dare sell him a bum part. ha!
Holy heck! A window motor that DOESN'T have to run over the data lines or talk to the BCM to work???! What sorcery is this!!
Love me some Nissan.
Amish style
Hey: my favourite thing in life is to retrain my power windows after each snowy day. How'm I supposed to do that with no BCM askin' it?
😂😂😂😂😂
Nissan thunder!
I was in a wrecking yard in Fresno many years ago with a friend and his dad. The owner, an acquaintance of my buddy's dad was behind the counter in a pair of greasy coveralls. The dad noticed a couple of law school diplomas on the wall. "is that you?" he asked the owner who nodded. "Why the hell are you getting your hands dirty doing this?" he asked. The guy reached into a coverall pocket and wrestled a fist sized wad of $100 bills out of it. "That's why."
man, Wilbert's is a well oiled machine.. so organized.
I’ll never get tired of learning from the way you analyze and explain wiring diagrams.
You're welcome, glad to help and educate!
Excellent!!!! 99% of us would have done the same thing as your customer did. Replace the wrong switch. I believe you smelled those green crusties growing
Exactly! Until the powers and grounds have been tested it could have been either of the switches. Anyone who doesn't understand the wiring would probably assume it has to be the last switch in the circuit.
WOULD A TOOT OF CONTACT CLEANER HELPED?
OR BRAKLEEN?
Possibly, but to be sure you would need to dismantle the switch. That's not an easy job (been there, done that), the labour cost would be more than the cost of the trip to Wilbert's with no guarantee that the switch can be fixed.
Nope. it makes zero sense to assume it is the passenger switch.
"We're going raw dog.... no glasses" lmfao
I taught Aerospace ground equipment classes back in the early 80S in the air force.
And one of the first things I would tell my airmen was exactly what you said.
IF you don't learn how It works, you surly can't fix it.
A cup of green tea, South Main Auto video and a trip to Wilbert's.
Can't get any better.
Only If he stopped for ice cream at twin kiss.
Thank you Eric for my evening entertainment. Knowing how to read a wiring diagram is crucial to ANY electrical diagnosis.
Another fun Wilbert's field trip, but no visit from Mrs O or Luna. 😢
No cat scan needed 😆
Luna is one COOL CAT!!
You explained the problem early in the vid but then went on with thorough testing to prove what you already knew. You're a great teacher, those who may be a little sketchy on electrical repair gained a lot of knowledge from you doing that.
Have been working on cars trucks and airplanes for 60+ years you are one of the best teachers on electric I have seen great
I fixed my wife's Hyundai because of this dudes videos.
Eric's gift isn't fixing automobiles, it's teaching others how to do it.. in a way that's easy for the average person to understand.
I went to automotive school for 2 years and despite that never had a firm grasp on electrical theory/testing, stumbled onto a video of his where he was explaining simple test lights providing electrical load, *and it all hit me like a ton of bricks at once..*
Don't forget Ivan at Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics, excellent diagnostic electrician, and teacher!!
Me, too. Cars, motorcycles, and airplanes.
Cars and motorcycles, I do for free for the right people, cheap for others.
Airplanes...ya gotta pay me. I'm an IA that hopes to never do another annual. I should let it lapse. Strange industry, I steered my son in another direction, other AP/IA friends did, too.
One way to get OEM. Thanks, Eric.
Love it! The new auction guy is gonna be impressed!
I love when you explain diagrams like a professor and than shoot out words like jiggly bits! U da man!!
Thank you for all the entertainment, I know it must take a lot of work to record, edit and upload, you’ve helped me so much on my DIY projects
Edit
@@user-mv5bu2kk8b sorry yes edit
I agree, learning schematics, both electrical and hydraulic is a tremendous help in diagnostics. They can be intimidating, but a little time learning the symbols and theory can be a powerful diagnostic tool
love when we go to the junk yard. enjoy your repairs and comments love the scratching on the truck door at the junk yard.
This was great because of all the elements of auction car, electrical analysis, picker lot, and fix. Seems like an honest channel, and have added it to my regular car repair feed.
You won't be disappointed.
Always impressive, diagnose first instead of firing the parts cannon.
Always enjoy your troubleshooting. We learn a lot little things that save time and money. Commentary is a plus.
When one of my mechanics would come to me and ask me for help with an electrical problem of any kind, the first question out of my mouth for them was did you look at a wiring schematic to see how it works. The answer was almost always no. My answer was always how can you fix something if you don't know how it works? You are so right when you say this. As the owner of the repair facility, this was very frustrating for me.
because schematics are foreign objects to them, not taught nor trained hardly at all for mechanics back then and way too long before they started force training it.
that said, there no reason for so much overwhelming pile of junk electronics to be implemented in vehicles of anything of today.
yes, I have my hands into just about everything and anything. construction, automotive, mechanical, electronics, computers and more (except politics/government, in which I do have heavy opinions about all the corruptness and clowns)
if there was a huge red end the planet button in front of me tomorrow, I just may press it to save everyone the struggle, hate and discontent. but that would likely fail, due to being made cheaply and of total junk. 🤪
I have no idea why any mechanic trying to fix an electrical problem wouldn't be looking at a schematic first or trying to find one? I realize many are weak in that area but to not look at all?
@@throttlebottle5906 I'm sure it would be recycled chineesium crap metal!!! lol!
Heard way too many times "I ain't doing all that" when I suggested looking for info. Or like some cars, you remove the cowl panel to easily access the rear spark plugs. Nope. Not gonna waste all that time taking out 8 bolts and unplugging the wiper motor. Instead I'll spend an hour replacing those 3 spark plugs the hard way. It would take maybe 3 minutes to uncover them my way but NO!!! THAT'S TOO MUCH WORK! Falt rate has created it. Quickie parts changing is all most want to do.
I would have told him, WWED? What Would Eric Do
Eric, you are a scholar and a gentleman.
I’m glad they tried you out! Hopefully you passed the sniff test.
I work in a shop in WNY in a fancy-pants area so i work on a lot of euro trash. Recently had a window problem on a Mercedes, and between options fitted, date of production, and multiple modules involved, there was pages and pages of euro track diagrams to sift through. I love it when they keep it dead simple.
Happy Friday Mr O gotta love junk auction cars
Sign on shop wall - "In case of fire, freak out and run like hell!" More words of wisdom from SMA :)
I just took an advanced automotive diagnostic course online and basically the instructor said almost everything you did not quite word for word but close.
I like crayons, I work for GM? That was priceless. At least GM will give you the box of 64 crayons. With Italian cars like you lucky if you get eight or maybe 16
Sorry, the crayons are out of stock and on back order.
@@stevenbastian3882😂
Great as always, Eric. Thanks! Even a junkyard car is a fun trip!
that's why the driver door switch is called the master switch, if all the other switches didn't run through it then the window lock would never work......
Good diag, thanks to Wibert's(spelling) a functioning part, another great SMA repair!
AMAZING! No CAN bus, no computer control, no low speed multiplexing, just some switches and wires! INCONCEIVABLE! (What movie is that from?)
Sweet video, Mr. O!! Good ole logical troubleshooting! Thanks for taking us along to Wilber’s. Awesome! Take care and stay safe!
@@BigDaddy_MRI 1987 Princess Bride
Yes, Tundra Time! Nice diagnose and repair. I thought the transmission on that Rouge would go before the window switch did.😆
With these transmissions a lot depends on how you drive it, and if you replace the trans oil every 30,000 miles....... or not !
Eric nice job with the color key in the margin to trace +/- makes it easy to follow
"You're no virgin baby I don't care what you tell me" OMG Eric you had me rolling I really needed a good laugh after this week. Take care and thanks for bringing us your wisdom and humor.
It's always a joy to watch your videos Eric. I really like your sense of humor 😁
Wilbert has a clean lot! I only have lkq yards near me. They could learn a thing or two from Wilberts
Years ago, my 1997 Honda Acord EX (new at the time) was hit on the right side. The wiring connector at the door & the frame was damaged, but not replaced by shop. The window worked sporadically. State Farm decertified the shop, and I traded in the car for a NEW Honda CR-V. If all else fails, jiggle the door wiring harness connector!
I love the trips to the wreckers to get parts. It made my day.
I just love your junk yard adventures!
Spent any number of hours looking for parts in junk yards - Wilberts is the most organized yard I have ever seen or heard of.
Excellent as always.
Common sense- testing- making the call.
Love the field trips to Wilberts.
You can't imagine how much I enjoy your trips to Wilbert's!
Good job , SMA service guy . It’s Sunday August 18 , 12:25 pm in east Texas.
Have to admit I always fast forward to Wilberts Pick and pull whenever I see it in the description😁
Love walking through Wilberts....
Always good when you make a trip to Wilberts
Love me some SMA!!
Eric, I think you’re working on a Nissan Rogue not a Nissan Rouge, although it is a Rouge Nissan.
It’s good to watch a master at his craft. 🎉. The advice about knowing your tools is sage. And always test your tester before testing the problem. 😅
I just love watching the wheels turning behind the Gulf symbol on your hat.
Yeah, learned that the hard way. Everything goes into or through the driver's master switch, from the vehicles I've had.
Love the mix of exacting detail and shortcuts learned from experience.
I love those Wilberts trips and when Mr O reverts to LunaVoice 😁
We’ve been on several field trips to Wilbert’s I feel like we may need to sign a permission slip!! Thanks Mr. O!!
I absolutely have joy in my life. When you say pop pop, my pop pop has ben gone for meany years, but our memory never goes away. lol, thanks, pop pop.
...if one switch works, you have power and ground...remember!
"You can't fix somethin' if you don't know how it works!"...... Eric O for president.... a lot of politicians were never told this one simple trick!
If you want to save a trip to Wilbert's next time, just take that switch apart and clean the carbon off of the contacts. It doesn't take much. Instant fix, and seems to affect Nissans more than others.
It was honestly quicker for him to go to Wilbert's since they had one in stock, the problem with the green crusties of doom is that one speck can cause intermittent fault.
It was cheaper to sell the customer that used switch for $5 than it would've been an hour of labor to clean the original one.
I’m thinking that new guy is glad he gave you”a try”. As always your videos are full of entertainment
Wilbert's for the Win !
Wham Bam thank you Ma'am !
Watching Eric O gives me confidence to do more diagnosis. Very well explained as always...
Would love a power probe tutorial though... 🙂
Gotta hand it to you. You explain things so it's easy to understand. Outstanding. 👍
Great start to the day. Fresh coffee and SMA video.
Could Eric slapped a new switch on and hoped it was correct? Sure, did he actually DIAGNOSIS and test based off wiring diagram and actually prove his diagnosis you bet! True auto mechanics are a dieing breed. He doesn't need the try to screw people over because a true mechanic doesn't need to toot their horn! Do good true honest work and it will speak for itself
They took all the Jiggly Bits from that door panel!
Its simple if you know the thoery of operation. Whether it be electrical, or mechanical. If you dont your gonna have a loooong day!
Wiring is similar in my '01 Explorer Sport, all power runs through the driver's side switch. There were a couple times I was working on it or the driver's window, and noticed that when the switch was unplugged, the passenger's side window didn't work. Plugged the switch back in and it worked. So far haven't had to replace any switches, despite the vehicle being 23 years old. Most underhood components, except the alternator, are also original. Have always had good luck with my Fords.
Oh the pain I felt many a year ago when I had to grind off all the factory melted tabs to open my main window switch to clean all the contacts and then remelt it shut again.
I had this same thing going on with a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee (if I remember right)... was definitely confusing at first. The wiring diagram helped me a ton with the understanding. I've also had a problem where the wires come through the door jam in that flexible sleeve; getting broken in the there after a ton of door open/closing actions. The wire doesn't even look broken as it is broken within the wire's insulation; tricky...
I love to watch a Good deer hunter who knows how to follow a trail !
I guess in this video, we have all been shown...that Mr. O is grounded! Nice diag, as always! 💯🗽🇺🇸
When I was in the RV business, the dealership constantly sent us to service training from the manufacturers.
One of the biggest repair issues is RV appliances. There is a wealth of information in the appliance manufacturing service books including wiring diagrams, troubleshooting diagnostics for circuit boards, and troubleshooting logic flow charts that take you through the whole startup and run cycle of how the appliances work.
I made sure that they went home with me when I started off on my own!
Mr O was wide awake in class. Now he's teaching. Nice work.
Hey Eric, your method works for anything electronic. I have followed this style for a number of air conditioning chillers, fan blower units, UPS and humidifier systems. Learn how it works and what sets a fault code and you can fix anything. Awesome work dude.
Thank you for your time.
Good timing!!! My daughters bf has an old Acura RL that has trouble with one of the rear windows going up. I'm definitely testing this like you showed.
Eric you are the man
That is really frickin fun! God I love these auto manufacturers these days. Everything is just so frickin intuitive and logical, it's awesome. Yay. 😮🤣
i use the power probe you gave me several times a year. It's a great tool when understood. I sure enjoy these lessons.
Glad you enjoy it!
Me too, ha ha.
Always enjoy the Wilbert’s adventure
I love when we take field trips to Wilbert’s
Ice cream seasone is coming to 21:34 an end soon . Make.sure you take advantage of these trips Mr.O.
Great video, you did a great job explaining the battery and ground paths! Always enjoy your videos!
Good diagnosis as always and fantastic explanation. I new from experience that it was going to be a failed normally closed contact in the master switch based on the symptoms and the fact that the same wires are used for both directions.
I am Advanced Level where glasses 👓 are not optional...😂
This is great! 2 videos in a row in which we got to go to Wilbert's! The only thing that would have made this better is if Eric had said, "Tundra Time" when he got in his truck. I had an idea when you said the driver's switch was bad we were going to Wilbert's. I am surprised the transmission is still moving this car around. This used car lot is wanting to "try you out" Eric? Gee, they could just watch some of your videos and know what kind of work you do; kinda like we do......GREAT VIDEO!
Fridays are awesome. Curtis from Cutting Edge Engineering in Am.
Eric from SMA in afternoon.
Happy hour wine
Dinner
Fall asleep in LZ boy.
Ya, I'm old.
Another enjoyable video Eric. Lately, I've had better success with the used parts than the "brand new" Motorcraft from the Ford dealer.
Even a Blind Squirrel can Find a Nut Occasionally. Nice Fix, Eric O. 👍🙏
4:00 that makes sense, you have a window lock out on the drivers side to prevent passengers from being able to roll the windows up and down.
You’re a very well versed, intelligent mechanic I know at times you talk about. Do you want to get out of it sometimes because of whatever reason trust me from someone who wishes he could still do it when you stop doing it you’re gonna miss it like crazy so enjoy it for as long as you can. God bless you
Great diagnosis once again Eric..and good find at the wreckers...Cool fix.
I live in Europe. I had the same problem with a 1995 Neon Gen 1. Few Neons over here. I had to get a new switch from Switch Doctor. Works fine.
Suffragette City,,, amazing how many lyrics you have shoved into your brain along with troubleshooting data. Always impressed!
Nice work Mr. O
Eric,
You're awesome. I love learning from your videos.
Thanks Eric for your diagnostic information. It’s very interesting and informative for me. Your technique has helped me fix’s problems that I normally wouldn’t have touched. Now I research the problem, find codes (if any are available ), then look for wiring diagrams and start troubleshooting. Thank you for all your knowledge that you freely share with us. 👍
That was awesome Eric. It's always mostly awesome, sometimes it's just really great, but this one was awesome. Thanks for being here.
