Come along with Eric O at the SMA shop as he has a look at this Dodge Neon that was towed in as a "No Start, No Crank" It is not your typical coil or fuel pump so grab a cup of coffee as we hit this car with a methodical, logical diagnostic approach to track down the problem.

how do you bill for electrical diagnosis? do you bill hourly or give a quote of how long you think it will take upfront and stick to it?

@SouthMainAuto 7 лет назад

I bill by the hour. I tell customer if it exceeds 1 hour I will call first with an estimated time. Most problems I fix in an hour time slot pretty easy or atleast have really good direction at that point and know what it is going to take. Good question. Thanks.

great work. It takes a lot of patience to track down electrical opens. Obviously that owner doesn't have a lot of money, so they are very fortunate to have a repair shop as good as yours. A dealer would have nailed them good for a job like that. Your parents raised a great man. Keep up the good work.

I did a lot of the electrical diagnosis and repair at the 3 auto repair shops I worked at including the GM dealer. In my small city of Southern Minnesota , , even at a GM dealer we worked on everything that came in the door. Service manager would take on anything to keep the shop full and profitable. Some of the guys like me came from independent shops so we had a good background on most everything else. The other " GM" techs would only touch the GM vehicles. In the end , the customers got their vehicles fixed at a reasonable cost and they went away happy to come back another day for anything else they needed. Electrical work was billed by the hour as there really is no flat rate time for that kind of thing I was pretty quick though so never had a customer complain about the bill.

@christianerance 7 лет назад

Thanks for taking the time to locate the break. Yes many of us including myself would probably have jumper the break when working on my own car. However if there were other wires that could have given future trouble then at least you can rest easy not to have to go through that search again. Though took longer it was the correct thing to do. Piece of mind.

@klwthe3rd 7 лет назад

Awesome diagnosis video. I want to stress the best part of this video was actually the last 3 minutes that Eric O. speaks the importance of having a good plan of attack and doing 75% research first. Its my experience that if you have electrical issues you need to examine FACTORY diagrams so you understand how and where to test your theories. Because Eric O. is his own boss he can take that time and customers are willing to pay those billable hours because they know he'll honestly find the problem and fix it with care. I was yelling at my tablet screen while watching this video because I wanted him to go all the way and pull the ECM out to do a thorough test. hehe. He did and that shows that he didnt just want to run a splice, which to me is subpar but understands that sometimes you have to for financial reasons, but rather wanted to fix it to factory specs. Each and ever video I watch I keep waiting to see if corners are going to be cut by Eric O. It just doesnt happen. The quality of his workmanship is outstanding. Kudos to Hannah for giving him the reminder that us subscribers love that he does it right.

@SaiRam-hu8ly 4 года назад

I like how you logically approach any repair before jumping into the repair. With vehicles becoming too complex I too agree that at least 75% of trying to figure out where exactly the problem is and spending 25% to repair it. This is becoming my favourite channel now. Thanks a lot for taking your time to explain in detail how you approach the problem and fix it.

The Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR) is one of the most useful tools for finding cable faults (opens, shorts, bad cable splices). The TDR is connected to one end of the line and shows the distance to the fault. It uses a low voltage signal that will not dam- age the line or interfere with nearby lines.

You're a patient person! i have five running Neons (and two more for parts to keep them running!) - this is such a common problem especially with that harness that runs along the lower cross frame to the lights and the fans and windshield washer pump (it is a bad day if the fans can't come on!) - easy for those to get hooked on a parking bumper or a curb, I have done my share of wire chasing. When i'm done, I tie the harness up away from the cross frame, and since the engine/trani rotates quite a bit with revs especially on a standard, tie them away from the edge of the trani and stuff that is moving. Good Vid.

Chrysler tech here, can't tell you how many times i've seen the core supports bashed in like that. Such a bad spot for a pcm. I completely agree with the 75% research, 25% fix it comment, i've done a lot of research to fix cars many times. Because i do that, my boss sends me a lot of driveability and electrical problems. The one thing you said, Eric, about research and doing an inspection, you should have included a bit about looking at the condition of the car and area around the affected components. That was the first thing i thought of when you showed the bottom of the core support. I have an 04 Neon R/T, and the bottom core support was a little bit tweaked on the left end when i got the car. I fixed that right away. When i saw how bent the pcm bracket was, i thought of the harness being pinched. Good job, though of finding the break!

@Cragified 6 лет назад

The 2nd Gen neon is an odd ball. They 'refined' it by adding better engine mounts, the new electronic leaning transmission after 2001 and other things yet at the same time made some really bad layout changes. Such as move the ECM from in front of the strut tower down to the core support and then running the damn wiring loom under the support. Back on 1st gens only the loom for the fog/sport lights ran there and turn signals. And then Daimler stepped in with lower quality metals which is why 1st gens outlast the 2nd gens because the K member on the 2nd gens will always rust out.

Hey Eric Love the channel. I'd like to make an observation on a tool for this type of troubleshooting. It's a tracer toner and probe. You basically inject a tone and you use a probe that listens in to trace by following harnesses and stuff. I use this in the telecommunications field to track cables in 50 pair or hundred pair cables sets or network cabinets etc. super efficient! It would give an excellent return on investment. Cheers take care.

@kenpatterson8028 7 лет назад

Thanks for the great video(s) Eric, i really like your channel and the work you're doing, keep it up man. a little tip: use a seam ripper to get into those wiring harnesses. no risk of accidentally cutting wires (even if it's the right one haha) again, keep up the great work, cheers

I applaud your skill and tenacity, nothing shows dedication like tracking down an electrical problem hidden like this. I once had a friend with an old '76 Honda Accord and it would blow the wiper fuses, they ran fine but only blew the fuse after you turned them off, never while running. after having the car two days Honda wanted to replace the motor for $150 - at that point I told my friend what do we have to lose, let me check the wiring and take the motor apart - so we drilled out the case rivets and 'voila - there was a fault in a wiping contact in the switching mechanism, a nylon ramp that was supposed to lift the copper contact in the park position and stop the motor had actually worn a groove in the copper wiping contact and it no longer lifted the contact to kill the motor. All I did was clip off the bad end with the wear groove and rebent the end, added some dielectric lube and put the case back together with nuts and bolts and it ran like new - I was surprised as anyone else, it was a longshot at best - sometimes you just get lucky, if you stick with it long enough--lol

I hear a lot of talk on YT about the liquid electrical tape fixing the little pokey test light holes, but I only see it USED on SMA channel. The whole point to chasing down the damage is to look for other potential damage, but as in this case sometimes it's a big waste of time anyway - won't be losing sleep over this one, we BTDT and bases covered.

It's also just being respectful to the person. If he did just jumper it and the open end found a short it would pop the fuse and strand the driver which if they are taking it to Eric to get fixed won't have the knowledge or desire to find out what went wrong and blame him. So it cost him more time and it cost the customer more in diagnosis and finding the break but in the end it keeps both parties much more content.

Good job finding the problem. I had a neon a few years back that also had a broken wire that gave me a no crank condition. It was a rubbed through one on the bottom of the radiator.
