Worked as a Emergency Management Agency (Civil Defense) volunteer; our director used some idiot whose wiring skills were so poor the local radio/equipment installers all nicknamed such poor work as a "Leo D. Special". Turned on my alley lights on one car; the right switch and the left switch were reversed! Went to do something else, and that didn't work at all. Gave up and signed out another vehicle. The local shops wound up fixing all the bad wiring jobs, and no discounts given.

What Eric didn't show was the rest of the diagnostic on it running rough and the timing not retarding when warm which caused her to stall unless you two footed it. Apparently the person I took it to for the motor rebuild had flattened one plug to the plugs right to the electrode. I'm not sure how she ran the 25 miles I drove her up to his shop.

@SmittySmithsonite
@SmittySmithsonite 3 года назад
Ahh, same as my '93 Volvo 940. Years ago my buddy and I were trying to figure out why there was only one rear fog. There was a provision for another identical one on the opposite side, so we punched it out and ran it. Plug was already there and everything. Now it looks like two super bright brake lights if you turn that on. People will definitely see that in the fog!

After many years of pulling trailers and dealing with wiring, my experience is that 90% of the time when you have weird light problems, it's a ground problem. Haven't done much with car wiring (other than trailer plugs, etc.) but it seems like the same thing. I wasn't the least bit surprised when Eric found the ground was wonky. What I figured it would be. First time in a long time I've guessed right - when it needs a scan tool to find it, I'm no good at all. Glad there are guys like Eric who can find that kind.

I own a 2010 Subaru impreza with about 67 preview owners of dubious mechanical background. I had a similar issue with all the brake light bulbs blown. Luckily, it was simply that the previous owner didn't replace them as they burned out, until non were left. When I did a brake job right after buying the car for pennies on the dollar, I discovered 3 different brands of pads, and 2 siezed calipers. A wheel bearing making all kinds of racket, and exhaust leak the size of Texas. Needless to say after a few weekends of fixing it up here and there, welding up the exhaust, she's ran great for 2 years. I paid less for it than you can buy a decent used 4 wheeler so I've been pretty happy with it. Thanks for the video. I have learned a lot from your content!

@@djosbun ya I actually did buy a 2020 forester I really love it so far, that being said I work at a Ford dealership and the escapes are shocking bad! And they suck to work on. It will be interesting to see how long it lasts I actually got a job offer from the dealer I bought it from. I am really thinking about it

My 03X (now my daughters) had the HG done around 150K miles - more preventative than any catastrophic failure (light external weeping), now up around 210K. I've fixed/maintained quite a bit on it otherwise, but it still ended up as a good purchase overall. Subaru's aren't the most reliable cars, but better than many i've had for sure. I tell people who ask about it "if the HG is OK, you might have to fix a few things here and there, but they are solid overall".

@@VBshredder The later EJ25’a seem to leak oil from the hg externally, much prefer that over the way the early engines have them fail. We’re lucky we got the n/a EJ20 alongside the EJ25 here which don’t have any hg issues. I’ve had 5 Subaru’s, none have had any problems.

"And All My Dreams Go Up In Smoke" In tech school my electronics teachers favorite line was "Try not to let the smoke out. If you do, the circuit is ungood". Never will forget that man, one of the smartest people I have ever met. Quiet and unassuming, and brilliant. He was responsible for my getting into auto mechanics and computer system diagnostics. Thanks for teaching me the magic of electronics and it's uses. It has been 47 years and I can still hear him. "Ungood".... God bless you Mr. G wherever you are.... And thanks......

A 7440 bulb is 25W. A 7743 is a 25/5W. But what they need is a 5W single filament. I've seen that in a Chevy where they used a dual filament bulb for the tail light so it matches the brightness of the brake/tail light bulb.

Eric instead of using the razor blade for cutting tape or wire wrap, try using a sewing seam ripper. They are good at following along a wire and not slicing the insulation. Cheers

Not sure why the AI overlords deleted my first comment, but the tool is called a "wire spoon". Astro 35250. Eric wasn't really using it for its intended purpose, so it took me awhile to figure out what it's called.
