*************Relay Tester on my amazon store ************** - amzn.to/49WaR5H As well I did a revised video that explained that the last relay was the starter relay. I thought I uploaded that one but I just realized I uploaded the unrevised video. But yes, the relay that I replaced was a starter relay. Also the new module was never programmed because there was never communication. Plus I also messed up on a part I was supposed to write “down” but I wrote “done” smh 🤦♂️
Each diagnosis is different but following the basics, scan the topology, check powers, grounds and communications will get you the information you need to proceed further if necessary.
Nice fix man! I find looking at the power distribution and ground distribution is a bit easier to follow. But either way you got it handled. Thanks for sharing!
As an automotive locksmith and 1 minute in this why I do things as I do and make customers mad. I tell them we open cars and make lost keys period. I do not and will diagnose any other kind of immo issue. Customers ask us to just come out and make a new key. I always ask if we make a key which I don't believe is your problem and it doesn't solve your issue are you still going to pay us? They think I'm crazy for asking that. I explain to them they diagnosed the issue and asked for a key so we need to get paid period. They 100% decline and I always tell them to take it to a mechanic. I thankfully never hear from them again. They are just trouble.
@@OzMechanicsI get these kinds of calls weekly. I explain keys either work or they don't. They aren't intermittent. They never believe me on this either. I always tell them to take the car in for a proper diag and they think I'm either lazy or nuts. It's usually cheap or poor people who I always say are both bad for business. They don't want to accept as a locksmith my job isn't to diagnose their no start issue. They always want to blame the key. It's almost never the key. They yell, scream and curse at me. I hang up and call block. We are busy all day so I don't need to make their problems mine. Believe it or not I have more than a few text me a few days later hey A-hole took my car to so and so and they fixed it. You were no help. You don't know what you are doing. 100% of the time the fix had nothing to do with the key but I'm still the bad guy. People don't believe me there are people out there like this. I have had to become good at weeding them out over the phone.
People get mad after they say 100% it's the key and we make a new key then all the sudden omg I'm down a few hundred can you give me a break. Why because you diagnosed your own vehicle and don't know what you are doing and I come out spend my time and give you a new key and now you see the problem is something else you want a break. It doesn't work that way. People need to see that if you lose your key you call a locksmith but if the car just stops working call a mechanic. 😂
@@jorgemat8080Wow I thought I was the only one to get these idiots. I turn them down because I know where it's going to go. I ask them why they get so mad at me. Just call someone else who is willing to take their money. if I called someone and they declined my work I would just move on and not even think about. I charge at the higher end also because we don't use cheap UHS crap. We try to use OEM Fobs and keys when possible. Fun fact I'm local to UHS and they will sell to your customers.
One thing missing. With all those replaced parts and no coms how did you or previous guys programmed it in and added the vin and key? It's not just a swap plug and play, or did I miss something?
Internal Fuel pump relay failed on my 2003 expedition went to autozone to get one of those relays, wired everything up and truck wouldn’t start, turns out brand new out of the box relay did not work, got a carquest branded one from advance that one worked like a charm.
Thanks for bringing that up. I did a revised video where I did some repairs on the video and I fixed and uploaded. Buuuuut I just realized I didn’t upload the right one on RUclips :( the relay I changed out was the starter relay. And also the other mistake is I accidentally put done on a text on the video and it was supposed to say down. I dont want to pull this video because it would lose traction if I change it.
Why? Previous botched work is even more reason for YOU to do the customer right and fix the problem professionally. It's all the same... whether someone cut it or it rubs and shorts naturally, etc.. You can still chase it down either way.
So the relay went bad.. and when he swapped the start button.. he cut the wires and it shorted and popped the fuse. Nice... Always check your fuses and relays first fellas
Knowing the brand of relay was bad I wish you would have diagnosed the bad repay switch circuit showing the power was not passing through or the control coil was not working, etc?
always working behind the so called techs or diy, when parts are replaced and problem not fixed you have to do the right test like you did and thats when you find it and even the new parts they install are no good also which adds to your test time. i see it a lot, dont even get me started on ac systems. i no you kinda like me i try to always train and rise above. check out tom lech ac channel he is the true ac guy, i think you will learn a lot from him also
When left to their own, many people will buy the $6 relay before a $20 relay. They also won't know that NEW does NOT mean it works, and they have no idea how to test it.

Oz, I have been a subscriber to you for a couple of years. Why dont I see more of your videos. Good to see you.
He’s a shop owner, doesn’t have much time
He also has a youtube channel
It’s been crazy right now. I been wanting to make more videos but right now I’m juggling 3 other ventures not including RUclips
A true mechanic. Love people who pull out schematics and wire diagrams.
That relay kit is a real time saver. Good job.
Man I love that kit. Put a link on the description and comments if you want to get one yourself

My teacher always said KISS keep it simple stupid.

For sure. Theres always different ways to approach this.
As a service electrician I have done a lot of troubleshooting. You go where the evidence points and let that be your method.
Always trust the process ....works everytime 💯
nice one . It's crazy how people just throw parts. The 7th pcm didn't fix it ?? it needs a 8th pcm lol
Bro… I had a fun one that had a ghost misfire. And a threw a big curve ball
@@OzMechanics sometimes I can't decide if figuring out a problem is fun or frustrating 🤣
Wish Eric would post more
He will soon he’s just recovering from his sex change …… jk we just made a video a couple of weeks ago. And he’s editing it as we speak
Amazing video
Where do you get the fuse box from?
Hello Oz, sorry, I have the same problem, I don't have power in fuse 34-35, what do you recommend changing bcm or starting switch? let me know please
I haven’t fully learned a breakout box, but could that have helped to check power and ground to the computer too using a different approach?
The break out box is only showing the power and grounds attached to the obd port
@@OzMechanics Ahh, OK, thanks for the explanation.

customers think that anyone that works on any part of the car can fix up the whole car. They want a one stop shop

I made a revised part of the video where I explain that the car doesn’t have the vin because it never communicated. So the module was never programmed
@@OzMechanics got it.
@@jorgemat8080 but when I thought I put out the revised I didn’t. I uploaded the old video. I have 3 mess ups on this one. Not happy about it
Lol, it happens. 👍
Love your videos but if you could go a little slower when slowing the wire diagrams.
Sorry about that. I need to slow down I life as well blood pressure was at 149/90 today
3 DORITOS after. 😂😂😂
Looks like the other guys fired the part cannon at the car and had it set to full auto.
Good diag
That car is disgusting 🤢 inside
How do you hook up your scanner to the laptop
The problem is that you don't have the correct relay, you need the STRAT relay they call out in the wiring LOL... Just tuned wrong...
Smooth. Sometimes you need to step back and check the small things. Especially when it comes to the electrical system. Nice catch and fix.

Novita (no life) good name for a relay
First

I don't believe you ever said what relay it was. I know it wasn't the ASD relay

By the way I do auto electrical diagnostics here in San Antonio and I believe you're in Houston. I enjoy your videos.
@@joeandgod1 nice I have a couple diagnostic friends in San Antonio. Thanks for watching
Look at that 🎉🎉
WHATS THE MATTER? NO LAPTOP TO TELL YOU HOW TO FIX IT?
You're the man!
If someone else did all that cutting and wire work. I would probably refuse the job unless they were a friend
At that point. I was a lil harded and wanted to take on this challenge
@@OzMechanics you the man 👊🏻

When left to their own, many people will buy the $6 relay before a $20 relay. They also won't know that NEW does NOT mean it works, and they have no idea how to test it.
I’ve been burned a couple of times with that relay
