Many mechanics tried but no one could get this Lexus to start. It was abandoned and the owner was fed up and said if I can get it to start it I could keep it for free! I started down the path of diagnosis and figured it out with just a paper clip! There's a lot more to this series so I hope you enjoy this one and the videos to come on fixing everything else.

@aliabdallah102 3 года назад

I'm about 97% sure the car is just in "load shed" mode. The alternator isn't doing its job, the PCM is probably in a low voltage mode and is working with the SOLE priority of keeping the engine running, meaning it's probably not running power steering and forcing idle only, because all the power is going to powering the coils and the fuel injectors, and of course its greedy self. Happened to my c300 when the alternator died.

I've been working at a body shop for a bit now and extra tips I learned was if you're painting the door, it's better to take off the mirror and belt molding (the trim at the bottom of the window) for a better paint job in the end. The mirror can get in the way, and if you're unlucky, the clear coat could stick in that gap between the door and the belt molding.

@CaptainMarvel08 Год назад

Ya’ll probably already know this troubleshooting hack, but just sharing. About 2 years ago, my 97 Honda civic beater was jacked and joyrided and left abandoned. The goofballs used a similar key that they jammed into the ignition switch to start it. Last month I was doing some errands and the car died on me while I was driving. AAA came over and towed it back home and their scanner said it was the alternator 3 times. The battery was good so I checked fuses and then towed it to a shop where they traced the fault back to the switch (that was a little loose from when it was taken). I was ready to have the alternator replaced so I was happy to have a sharp mechanic trace it back like you did👍.

Awesome! Lexus time! Alex check the ALT fuse which is the main fuse possibly blown( can’t remove it it’s bolted down inside the fuse block) The throttle might be a ECTS fuse which is common to go when the battery dies. This engine is notorious for carbon build up on the intake which is likely on this one if it hasn’t been cleaned before. Good luck!

Probably a liability thing.

All I had to haul that thing was like 15 minutes lol.

@TravisFabel 3 года назад

U-Haul specifically had some lawsuits for renting trailers that were unsuitable for the vehicles. So now everything runs through their computer, where you have to say what car is towing, and then If it's a car trailer you have to say what kind of car is going on it as well. If it's not approved by the computer system then they can't rent it to you. Of course this just means everybody in the know, lies to U-Haul about it so they have to look at the vehicle and make sure it matches the description. And that's where you had the discrepancy because the guy was expecting to see a massive F-250 sized vehicle (like a modern F-150) And instead sees this factory lowered single cab truck and assumes it's a mini truck.

Alex arguing with Uhaul guy is like Stephen Hawking arguing with high school physics student about gravity…..(“Gravity is a real force son”…..”no it’s not Stephen! It’s magnets.”…….Good stuff as always Alex. Cool charger too.

Maybe a collaboration with Vehcor on the collision repair since he’s in the Chicago area.

@digitalrailroader 3 года назад

$5 says that dogleg is nothing but bondo. And a meet up with all of the Chicago automotive RU-vidrs (Vehcor, FordTechMakuLoco, Warped Perception, and LSC) would be absolutely awesome.

@NobleKhalil Год назад

I had the same issue (brake switch) with my 1993 Lincoln a month or so ago. I just put in the “ON” position, shifted to N to start until I could get back home and fix it. I don’t recommend doin this at night though… no brake lights. 😂

@painedinks 3 года назад

I've had the same BS happen to me at uhaul and even just regular rental yards so many times with different towing vehicles! It can be a nightmare when you get someone who thinks they know everything but meanwhile know nothing.

Looking forward to seeing it cleaned up. That's my favorite part of a 'barn find' car, getting to see the cars true potential under all the dirt and oxidation.

U Haul was a pain in the ass when I tried to rent a motor cycle trailer rom Toronto to Hamilton. SORRY those are local only, I don't have any one way trailers...

@onceuponatimeintoronto891 2 года назад

I just rented a ramp truck after they gave me grief over the same thing.

@p1ckle0 2 года назад

Our local Uhaul gave us issues too. We needed to use a trailer to tow a frame of a ‘69 Mach 1 but they wouldn’t rent it to us because the trailer wasn’t rated to tow the full mustang. We weren’t going to tow a full built mustang, just the frame

They won't rent to Ford Explorer owners either because of the big Firestone tire fiasco in early 2000s. Buuuuuuut, they will rent to Mountaineer owners. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I had a 2002 Ford sport trac and they did not want to rent a hauler to me. I checked online but I also checked if they would hook up a Porsche 911 and it was possible. Stupid uhaul.

You are correct, sir! Been renting Uhaul at my equipment rental yard for 25 years now. Their vehicle hookup book is pretty comprehensive but I wouldn't doubt if there are some anomalies.

I'm amazed nobody else figured it out since it still said to press the brake pedal when they already were.

@rallyman1122 3 года назад

U-haul is the worst. I booked a small cargo trailer, the smallest they offer and showed up with my Ford Expedition to tow it. They refused me, saying I was driving a Explorer. I even showed the guy my registration saying it was an Expedition, and he still refused me. Said I was faking it. The worst place ever!

@1972dsrai 3 года назад

Why would they even care as long as whatever you’re driving can tow it? Doesn’t make any sense, essentially turning away business. London, UK

I once started a stranded Cadillac with a safety pin. Placed the ignition switch in the run position, then I pierced through a power wire and poked into the starter solenoid wire. Started right up.

@saultube44 2 года назад

When you're not going to drive a car for a long time, you should take the battery out of the car and store it safely, some cars catch fire, because of the acid activity making everything hot, and energy building up, gasoline lines get perforated and ignited and the car starts to bur, many documentaries about it. Nice channel, host and project; best of lucks

I used to work at a dealership and we had a 2013 Lexus IS250 and it did the exact same thing. I had a deal worked out on it, and I took it to the detail guys, and they couldn’t get it out of the bay. It was the stop lamp switch.
