In this video we have a look at a Chevrolet Equinox that cam in with a customer complaint of no reverse lights and the customer also noticed there was no back up camera. Let's see what we can find. -Enjoy!

$70 on eBay. Made in Taiwan. Better then original
How come you don't use electrical cleaner to clean the green crushes
Power probe FTW
Erik! you didn't use enough tape on that! You should have used an entire roll not just partially a small one
Or you can smack it like an old TV set lol!! sometimes stupid things like that works.
"They schtank" – indeed.
SMA working on a Kawasaki," It's the big one point seven five, correction, it's the big zero point seven five."
your videos helped me on plenty of jobs !!!! thanks man
Those cameras are surplus low resolution types you can buy all day on Amazon for $30. My back-cam was $45 and had a color mini display these car manufactures still think the public regards a backup camera as magic. I used these type of camera years ago 15 years ago as the early webcam cameras. Major ripoff from dealers and car companies.
GM: "Quit nosing around!" Eric: "Nope".
Typical GM problems of that vintage. My 08 Malibu’s third brake light worked when it wanted to.
Poor quality and BCM quality. Not to mention the “fretting corrosion” problems. Never buy another GM product 🤷♂️
Thanx Eric. You seem like a very knowledgeable and cool guy.
What did you do to fix it? I only saw you change the license plate lights and then it suddenly all worked again?
Great logic Thank you
Another great video. I too was confused no seeing a fused circuit lately. No I know the module can control the current. Thanks for making this
why do you need a backup camera on a sub compact suv?
Yep good work E
Yeah for trailers their handy but other wise I just go for it
Yes it's the stench of burned out technologies
With a 06 Chevy equinox
Can you help with a overheating problem
Hello, where did you get that magnetic flashlight in your video (seen in the 6 minute mark)? I want to get one for my dad.
Lights…camera…action
We call that odor "the sweet smell of overtime"
You're a professional installer, we also have install videos please take some time to view our page.
What if the camera and backup lights intermittently work at the same time
Makes me happy I drive a 30 year old car.
"Before we get scan tool happy" LOL I'M DYING
Chevy is heartland of america if you like spending money
I love simplicity, but gm stands for garbage money
It was the Japanese who invaded America…not the Germans.
It's worth mentioning that when you are working on lighting circuits that are current monitored (like this one) current draw that is too low can also cause issues. Make sure the light has the bulb that it was intended to have from the factory. Some cars can be so picky that even using a bulb that physically fits but has a slightly different wattage can cause the module to shut down the circuit or set warning messages for that bulb. LED replacement bulbs or HIDs can cause problems as well since the current draw is different. HIDs have a very large start up current which could be interpreted as a short, Leds could be interpreted as an open circuit.
Sees the Chevy emblem: "Theres your problem lady!!!!!
my wife drives a 2010 E-nox…… those tail light buckets, I lube those plastic pins / bushings.
we have 56,000 on the car. sucks engine oil, always has. 4 banger, other then she bringing it home with
dings and dents, all around it, a cam positioner went bad & that's it. short distance driver. sits
in the garage.
Who else took a sniff besides me ?
You need to become an instructor. Start your own mechanic school.
Eric O, another great video! I catch myself saying Chevrolet the same way now! Happy 2020 everyone!
No way is it the fuse, it's to early in the video.
Used back up camera cost is $50 to $100
I use a flat screwdriver and a cloth to remove the taillight. I put it in the gap in between the plastic lens and quarter panel and wiggle it back and forth. No chance of damaging it from yanking it off. Works great for the stubborn ones.
Fancy customized tag they have there.
You're not a electronics guy!? Says the person that's busting out wiring diagrams and tracks down confusing electrical issues in almost every video.
Not too hard to follow the nose in burned electrical circuits. Have donr that myself, just not on a car.
Love the videos.
I still hate new and late modle cars and trucks.
I retired from doing electronic stuff, (being nice), I just want an older beater, to run around town in: that I CAN WORK ON, with duct tape and superglue.
Hey, what happened to the Mrs O cooking cameo? It's the best part of the video. She wears some snazzy outfits too. Like seeing Miss T too. She's probably at school though.
Electronic components have distinct odors when they fail. Capacitors will smell different than Integrated circuits or solid state (silicone based transistors) Resistors are mainly carbon, and coils have a lacquer based insulation. Wiring has plastic insulation, the newer stuff smells differently as it's soy based insulation.
Question how does the outside camera Chevy emblem fixture come off.
It always great job brother ✌🏾
My 2012 Impala the engine must be running to have back up lights.
