A trusted process is golden. Never go down the rabbit hole. Im learning so much from yourself and simply diagnostics. You guys are what the industry needs a sharing of knowledge. Great video mate
It looks like you followed the most logical, methodical procedure. I also worked for Ford, was a Master technician, living in Pretoria, South Africa. Left December 2016. Started my own business. Was so sick of the warranty process and delays. I remember on the 2005 model focus mk 2, we had to remove the B.c.m or G.e.m, to replace the darn pollen filter. I can't tell you how many times I found those clips broken. 😂
Nice diag & repair and yes sometimes we have to use zipties in ingenious patterns to secure plugs with broken or malfunctioning locks vs charging the customer to depin & replace plugs. Process & knowledge is what fixes vehicles.
@@trevormansfield6495 no mate, I took a job at the local college as a lecturer. But all the policies, politics got to me, plus the fact they just throw you in the lions den. I quit after 2 months. I now work directly for a vehicle manufacturer mainly doing EV work
@@SYDiagnostics No surprise with the college. Mine wasn’t too bad back in the late eighties when I attended but my son has just passed out as an electrician. They were a joke. Like jumped up politicians. Almost got to legal proceedings. Someone with your knowledge should be in the motortrade but I know it has its issues
Nice to see you popping up again Steve. Hope the new job is suiting you well. Must be part knowledge and part process here. I’m not a Ford guy so I wouldn’t have known that the PCM needs to be alive for any comms to take place. (So that part of your diag is definitely knowledge based). If I had that on a VAG vehicle, I’d definitely be off in a different direction. Is this because there is something akin to a ‘gateway’ built into the PCM on a Ford? Not seen it myself since I don’t see many Fords but I had heard about the washer fluid into BCM issue. Wonder if this car has had a BCM already for that problem and someone was a bit rough with their handling of the connector latches? Anyway, however your diag process might be characterised, it’s clearly quick and effective. Totally agree with your cable tie fix btw; the object is to get the car running and you achieved that. Permanent fix can come later. Thanks for sharing, regards, Russ.
Nice to see another one of your videos Steve , once a seen no dashes for speedo reading had an idea you would end up at the BCM , I’m sure you thought that as well, excellent video as usual, hope to see more 👍
Steve are you still teaching. Are you able to make more of these videos and i believe they are definitely some of the best out there with you tutorial skills.
Very logical process, pretty poor of the other garages to not sort this after so long. Product knowledge does help a lot though! Good luck with the new job
these are higher than the older ones, plus have a cover under the glove box. The plug is high up too. I believe its been damaged when somebody has removed it at some point
my style of videos are about showing the whole process and at the level I work at, then wiring diagrams are essential. Thanks for the comments and for viewing
@@SYDiagnostics Thanks, I will look at that👍 I have a 460 minibus camper and know a day will come when the only person who has the time to fix it is me!!
