'14 Hemi Ram: MIL On & No Gas Gauge 

Eric says he’s not a miracle worker, but honestly, who wouldn’t want him to live in your town? ☺️

You methodical way of approaching a repair doesn’t just get the job done it teaches those viewing it to take your time and don’t just jump around and waste time or money on parts. Your strategy can be used in my types of repairs and not just automotive ones. Wishing you, your family and all the viewers a Happy Easter.

I’m NEVER not impressed by E’s diagnostic skills and methods. I learn something in every video and I am entertained at the same time. Only downside is the pliers and other cool tools he’s got that I want/need. 😊 Luv me sum SMA videos!!!

Eric Don't let the naysayers give ya crap about the Crimps.. I spent 20 years in Air Force Using them to repair Untold numbers of Aircraft per Air Force TO's. it's the right splice for vibrating areas.. If it's good enough for Aircraft It's overkill for a Car/Truck.. Great Jobs.

Weird they put that harness into a pinch between the frame and box!?! Isn't the first time I've seen you repair something better than the manufacturer! Great video!

I’m an electrician and splitting the circuit is a method I use all the time. I’ve have 2 rams ‘06 1500 and ‘18 PW and I can’t get enough of your videos thanks you are truly helping me

I taught troubleshooting in electronics, computer systems and computer networks for most of my career and you are right on in your methodology. I'm no mechanic but your processes to determining fault are excellent. That's why I've enjoyed your videos for so many years. Appreciate your efforts to put your experiences on youtube and am waiting for the day you reach 1M subs.

Just a friendly reminder RU-vid has a pinch zoom feature. You can see all the glorious rusty green goobers in all its glory great. Nice work. Bravo once again Eric O.

Eric O has taught me that with my skills I never need to even think of owning a car newer than a 2006 I'm fine with that

Nice job Eric! It boggles my mind to see how these so-called engineers route harnesses so poorly.

We have to respect Eric's diagnostics planning and the methods he uses! It's always interesting!

This was exactly what I needed. Thank you for showing how you traced the harness, found the corrosion, and effected the repair. I appreciate your awesome video. Subscribed.

I wish there was a directory of mechanics around the country who do business like Eric. He's a rare gem I think.

Everyone is happy if Mrs O is happy

I like Eric‘s personality I would want him to live in my town! I am a technician, however, knowing Mr. O would be awesome because he is a miracle worker! Great video, Eric! I love these types of videos!

Have a great weekend Eric, and a Happy Easter to you and your family. We're finally thawing out here in Eastern Ontario, Canada😁 Goodbye snow!

Another great example of taking your time and not jumping to conclusions. Always learning from your videos. Thanks.

Great job again. Shows that reading how the system works and observing the vehicle operating environment saves time. and helps stop chasing a problem in the wrong direction. Knowing your information system really helps.

I would have started at the sending unit and that shows my inexperience. Your method was spot on. But without a scan tool and a wiring diagram and not knowing there was a connector in the wheel well I would have had to start at the sending unit. Following the harness is a pain but you proved it’s worth it. Nice job.

So far, these are the invaluable lessons I've learned from Eric: research, powers and grounds, meticulous inspection. Always impressed by his methodical approach as others have attested. Thank you. Happy Easter.

It’s good how he got his drawing the same colour as his meter.

My father-in-law has a 2014 Ram Hemi too. He got to drive the truck for all of 9mos after buying it used a few years ago. Then it sat for a while because of a persistent misfire. They trailered it to the dealer and a jiggle test indicated the passenger's side harness had issues. FF to last fall, I was able to peel back the harness and located several faults. In their infinite wisdom the manufacturer routed the harness too tightly against the back of the VC and the wires chafed against eachother and wore through 3 of them and started on a 4th. Coils #6 & #8 had been severed, with #6 injector wire broken too. #4 injector was on it's way, not far behind. All of this occured right at the corner of the valve cover. We made the repairs, wrapped it all back up and found some slack to wrap the harness a little better. The dealer wanted $1,700 for a new harness. While I'm on board with replacing with a new harness in instances like this, I'm not ok with forking out bc of their stupidity, nor was I about to reroute a new harness. I find two problems with American car manufacturers that Asians don't have. #1) The harnesses are not modular #2) QC isn't as stringent. Modular harnesses means easier replacement for the end user and can be more easily adapted for different optioned vehicles. I'll use Subaru as an example here. The engine harness is strictly for the engine, same goes for other major systems. A group of plugs can be quickly unplugged(along with hoses etc) and you can pull an engine in less than an hour to replace a clutch. Or if an engine suffers a catastrophic failure, an entire donor, harness and all may be swapped in. American cars don't do this. Instead, everything, trans, 4WD, engine etc are all grouped together and must be unplugged individually from that major system's various sensors to remove that major component. QC seems much more stringent in asian markets too. It's not just anecdotal that I ran into the problem with the Ram. The ratio of TSBs in the domestic market to asian is ridiculous. Automotive Electrical engineers here need to step-up their game.

I need to move to where he lives so I can finally have a mechanic that finds the root of the problem and solves it. Someone with this knowledge and integrity is rare these days.

Great diagnostic, helped by Eric's sensitive nose for hidden green crusties.

Love the way you troubleshoot issues! Your an awesome Mechanic! Need more like you!

For the amount of times you found the green crusty wired, i'd say that it's not luck anymore, you're a master mechanic!

I learned about Tesa tape today. I learn something from you on most of your videos. Thanks for your efforts.

147,000+ views and only 13,000 Thumbs Up? Thumbs Up!

He Is Risen. Happy Easter, Eric!

Wealth of knowledge....would be a great teacher first hand....lucky for videos....Thank You Sir

Hell yes. 🎉 another hour with Eric O.

Crimp and Seal certified fanboy here - I likely have over 1000 of these in service at the moment - come at me!

Thank you a million times for stating what must seem obvious to you, but stating it anyway as educational information. Always helps to talk about the little things when you are in search of the big picture!

The big guy smiles upon you when finding green crusties.

With the planets all in alignment & the car repair gods looking down on you. Today Eric you need to buy a lottery ticket.

The knowledge you have is amazing like that the OEM doesn’t have level sensor installed on it👍🏻👊🏻

Eric you are living right . Love those that are right there where you can see them . Great Job

I enjoy watching a good mechanic work. You are a great diagnostician. I learn a lot from you. Keep up the great work in New York.

Another banger video from the best mechanic on RU-vid.

This was a good Eric Holmes sleuthing mystery that lasted for more than a few minutes - was able to finish my coffee and my Ho Ho cake !!! Found the infidel wires and fixed the problem. A success !!! Suspected a bad solder joint on the instrument cluster board or a wire or joint problem. Getting better at this a ""we ""diagnose a variety of problem / troubles !!! When the team "" Captain "" (Mrs. O.) is absent the pressure is greater to get thru the day !!! As the saying goes: Behind every great man is the indomitable woman who spurs him on !!!!!!! Another good video, Eric. You've earned a Krispy Kreme coffee and white cream filled donut !!!!! On to the next one !!!!! Happy Easter to you and the family !!!!!

One of the few channels left where you can enjoy the sweet sound of air tools instead of those sissy rattily battery tools.

You are the best automotive electrician I have ever seen. You have a lot of knowledge and experience. Hopefully you are passing that knowledge onto someone or all that are in your shop.

Anyone who thinks that mechanical crimp is insufficient has insufficient experience or education. Solder joints are absolutely NOT the end-all do-all of electrical connections. As long as you use a quality crimp, it’s as good as the wire. The perma-seal butt connectors have enough glue in them to confidently know it’s sealed. Perfect repair as usual Mr. O!

there is experiance and more experiance and then we have Mr O that solved the problem.👍

Mr. O is so methodical, he's like a perfectionist, bordering on AR. FIRST things first: A visual inspection the entire conductor from Stem to Gudgeon may have saved some time. I had DTRL inop one time. I called the dealership for a headlight switch, he had 40 in stock. I sent the driver right then. Been the fix or repair guy 4 so long, 56yrs, I've gotten lazy in the last 20 or so, I go right for the obvious ben/ michigan

I love watching you work.

Eric you do excellent diagnostic work !!! Well done home boy !! U need to be here in north Carolina !¡!!

Excellent diag process, I would have loved to see the Gauge working after the repair though

You know we need more people like Eric who can find the needle in a hey stack. If I put on those connectors things would not go so well. Car would go backwards in drive or some similar.

The perfect candidate for a Fluid Film/Woolwax application.

Eric, I am a EE, and you impressed by your skill, something many people don't understand a car is mostly electronics now, and they break... so question, what are those crimp and seal connectors, and the "tesla" tape? You the man!

A very good video on how to do this job. Thanks for sharing your experience and expertise. I enjoy ALL your videos. Thanks for taking the time to do them.

With the newer vehicles, diagnosis is 90% of the job. Good job as alway Eric.

Electrical diagnostics at it,s best. Another successful job Eric

Great diagnosis Eric

You were right on the second place to affix the loom to the chassis, not the fuel or hyd pipes. Ref: Wiring code...machinery, something we learned when working on mine machinery. Great diag procedure thanks...

I hope you can send Rainmain Ray a selection of the crimp-and-seal connectors to try, I think he'd be a convert.

Top notch, and on a side not in the process of channel surfing I'm picking up little mannerisms from your fellow RU-vidrs "THEY ARE SOUNDING LIKE YOU" . Obviously they respect your work that's good from your peers. 😊

As an electrician, always best troubleshooting practice to start in middle! Great video!

It's always great watching a pro at work. You are a master of troubleshooting Eric! I recently helped a friend diagnose a battery drain issue on his volvo from what I learned watching your channel. Thanks for all your help.

This, like every other video you do, is so good, so helpful and as always, very entertaining!

Good vid and thought process. Since most folks don't have access to the scan tools you have it would make sense after getting a wire diagram to go from front to back. If it was one code for the sending unit or pump then you could probably start there. At least for testing and visuals. But this truck had quite a few codes that ended up being on the same harness. So it made good sense for a front to back check of that harness. That's just a good habit to get into going from the start to the end. It might be boring and repetitive but better that than mixing up your routine and missing something important.

Another great vid Eric .... the fuel gauge went out on my wifes nissan traced the issue to a faulty G11 mosfet on the instrument cluster motherboard cheap simple fix in the end thought this info may help someone with the same problem

I am gonna move there just to have someone thorough working on my car! Great job Eric.

Good diagnostic chase and a GREAT lucky find of an easy-access wire repair. Extra slack AND the end of the wrapping tape is a super score! Happy Easter to Eric and the family from a "close-by" PRNY resident, we KNOW green crusties by the big lake too.

Hi, Mr. O. thanks for the class in automobile electrical circuits. Thanks for sharing!

Yor troubleshooting methodology is the way I was taught for alot of different applications. I would have done like you did and saved my self from pulling the tank.

Great video Eric as always you never disappoint

What a great day. Thanks Eric O. Caught my first catfish of the year today so it was a great day no matter what.

Nice job Eric satisfying end.

Sounds like you appreciate Mrs O. 👍🏼. And your making your own lunch today lucky fella. 😂

The way I would find this is watching you. Always a pleasure.

I like the idea of putting the tape on the socket, I always struggled with retaping harnesses I cut into

I am not sure if Eric has had a difficult to find broken wire - if so I ain't never seen it. Must be living a good life cos he always finds em within a couple of minutes. Sometimes it's better to lucky than good. Nice work Mr O.

Everyone's favorite crimp connectors. Hopefully the number of comments increases the revenue enough to keep the videos coming.

Hey Eric, don’t listen to the haters. They are only mad because they can’t do what you do. Finding a good mechanic. That can do diagnostics. Is very rear. Keep up the great work brother! Nothing wrong with using butt connecters. We use them everyday in the trailer industry.

Another GREAT video from the master of broken wires!

Nice little fix . Happy Easter 👍

Absolutely stirling diagnosis skill Mr. O.!

Eric, you messed up. You left a clean spot on that undercarriage. You should have replaced all the salt and sand from the PRNY. Good video and the usual great diagnosis and repair.

Good to look for the actual volts. Ah, the heat shrink butt connectors. Best thing since sliced bread. I love ‘em! Great diagnosis!

Ah yes, the rust belts old friend, the green crusties makes yet another appearance. Nice find and fix Eric. Always start at the connector.

Man, that was impressive. I don't buy that part about it being an easy fix - you made it look easy!

Happy Easter, Mr. O and family!!

Awesome thanks, great to see you test that circuit.

From California, you rock Bro Dude!!!

Another great job Eric wiring drives me nuts appreciate your simple explanation as to where I can understand thank you sir

You and Wes both put out videos with garbage dodge/chryslers and bad wiring behind the fender liner. Keep up the good work!

Nice to see you Eric, Happy Easter to you and your family

Same thing with my mom's old 1990s Ford Taurus wagon--electricals to rear defrost, wiper-washer, reverse lights and such were bundled and taped and all went through pinch point at the tailgate hinge. All that flexing over the years broke wires in the bundle.

Lucky day.....probably won the lottery in the evening!👍

One suggestion here is maybe off camera, but when that connector is apart.. good idea to blow out both sides with air, maybe even electrical cleaner, then back with some dielectric and snap her together. Especially if u have seen that connector specifically corrode. Keeps the contacts clean and dirt water dust and corrosion out. I've built a habit... every single connector no matter what... if it's apart... gets shop air and di electric no matter what. Esp up there in the prny.. I do it here in Texas.. newer connectors have smaller wires, more wires.. terminal fretting is becoming a big deal. Either way, nice diag esp the service data on 12v vs 5v... as always nice job dude.

Very nice job. Don't let the haters win on the connectors. Cimp n seal are great for this application.

I'd ride a bicycle to Buffalo NY to use your services Eric O. Best Machinic I've seen since sliced bread.

Dang great job. When the body gets tired, your worth your weight in gold at the auto tech schools.

It is your lucky day. All the corroded junk I work on you would have a very difficult time finding good copper. Solid black, burnt or oxidized and so deteriorated that the wire needs replaced. Overlay yay! Lucky dog!

Another nice find and nice fix. Good explanation. Life in the northeast. Thank you

Great video...your a top notch mechanic!

Happy Easter to you and your family, Paul from the UK.

Great job Eric. Also kodos to Mrs O's great cooking skills. Man you're well fed. 😊
