100,000!!! Congratulations!! I’ve bee watching your videos for a couple years now and I’ve learned a lot from them. I do not work in the field but my friends and family always ask me for advice before taking their cars to the shop.
Appreciate it Fred. Comments like this and subscribes like yourself give me the motivation to keep working harder to get these videos out and produce the best videos I can make.
I rate auto repair channels and this channel is properly rated due to the low number of videos uploaded per year lately, 20/13 in 2023 (total/useful), very low. The percentage of useful videos for experienced techs is fairly high, 65% in 2023, but the quantity is low, only 20. If one video per week on average was doable, this channel would be up with the best of them when rated against other NON-DIY channels. Use PHAD as the standard. MAYBE there are issues with what OZ feels are great videos that deserve to be uploaded or not, maybe time with family is a priority, maybe he needs real time to do all the editing which is not fun, etc. I love this channel but it is a mid-level channel with high-level diagnosis.

The dealer testing the cat means it ran while in their possession. Interesting. The tailgate would also be a big concern, but that wiring is the spot. Amazingly poor work on their part, great on yours, nice work on the 100k too!
Nice find Bro, it's sad sometimes when problems are caused by other Techs simply because they don't want to take a few minutes to make notes about what steps they take and what steps need to be completed to put the vehicle back together again. In your Case Study here, it would have been nice to know where the harness was damaged on the Schematic and then let us know why all those modules were offline on the other side of that damaged harness, really appreciate all you do for the industry. CONGRATS on the 100K, I saw your cool wife's video, thanks to her also for supporting all that you do as a family.
The longer videos are better for those who want to go through the though process of every scenario to learn how to diag better. Oz probably spent hours on this but condensed it for yt. I think these condensed videos don’t get as much viewers as long format. These videos are good for people who are skimming yt looking for a quick answer to a car they are working on currently…
@@renewedautodiagnosticsllc1789this video started out as a 50 minute video. I try to make it were I remove were i ramble or information that I can write on the bottom. Plus some of the major part I remove is me thinking lol
Great video and case study. I’m getting better at trouble shooting cars like that. I’m always trying to have my next step before you explain it. I was going the same steps. Now it’s just luck of the draw on what module you start on to find that burned harness. Shame on the guy that caused all that for not being able to figure out his own screwup.
Troubleshooting can be the hardest but most satisfying thing to do while working on a vehicle. But keep up the great work always love to see techs expand in this field.

OZ, Brother congrats on 100 K subscriber you well deserved and thanks for sharing ur knowledge and thought process with us. cheeeeers from Ontario Canada
Hey Oz I think it's better terminology to say that 6 is can low because it goes from 2.5v-1.5v And 16 would be can high because it goes from 2.5v-3.5v It really isn't high speed and low speed
Oz, congrats on your 100k achievement ! If I may recommend something. You could have done a quick physical layer test of the CANBUS with a DVOM across Pins 6 & 14 - should be 60 ohms. That may have taken you to a wiring issue faster and is just good practice. I still don't like that Snap-On scope pattern (did you get a pattern after the completed wiring repair? I prefer Pico or EScope. Good fix
How’s it going Douglas? Man for some reason, to this day haven’t tried testing for the 2- 120 ohm resistors on 6 & 14 . They always talk about that testing approach in training classes I attend. But I might have to try it on my next video. As for the scope patterns, yes I did it but didn’t add it to the video. So when I first got the vehicle running we noticed that the pattern was not that good. But we also noticed the some things were missing on the cluster. Once I repaired the rest the functions did come back on the cluster and after I finished filling and putting everything together I checked it one last time before I let it go. Came out great. Just feel bad I didn’t film that part
I’ve seen water under carpet do this in an early 2000’s Oldsmobile aurora. Data lines had pinholes shorting through the water caused by a leaking heater core.
@@OzMechanics the coating on the data wires had pinholes in them. I touched the wires and the broke in half instantly. Nasty green corrosion was exposed. Customer replaced all electronics for power windows. All that was going on was corroded and broken data wires lol. In all I repaired 17 broken and or corroded wires under carpet. 16 hours of labor,had to completely remove all interior
Cost tens of thousands of dollars and doesn't work four years later? People better smarten up and demand low cost simple cars before they end up in the poor house.
This car dealership is pressuring me to buy a 2018 ford escape and the engine was replaced at 92k miles. They are not able to tell me why it was replaced. Any idea why it was replaced before reaching 100k?
