Now that we had a look at the pathfinder in a previous video and discovered someone else had been there before us, it's time to fix it! Is it the steering angle sensor or the wrong clock spring!? Let's find out. -Enjoy!

can i buy the old clock-spring from you? mine broke (stereo volume and horn stopped working on the steering wheel)
What kind of scan tool are you using?
No apretó el tornillo final sólo lo hiso con los dedos😆😆😆😆
You just saved me a ton of time – was having that exact issue on a 2010 frontier after changing the clock spring
The resister is bad in blower motor.
It looked like an Etch-a-sketch on the screen!
Most people are like fuck that I'll pay 5mill to fix,Until you get tools and start fixing your car you'll love the $ you save and if I can,you can trust me
I was waiting for you to start it… I have a 2007 Crew Cab Frontier with 87,900 original miles and for the past few years it always has a few seconds clatter sound when starting up cold… I'm on the Nissan Frontier FB group and most members with Frontiers from 2019 on down have that same few seconds clatter… But when its warm up doesn't make that clatter sound.. Looks like that Pathfinder started normal sounds… How weird..
So that's how Pong and ATARI works!
Goodevening sir,May I know the part number of the whole assembly of the multi switch with airbag clock spring assembly,thanks and more power to your show.
Don't give the government any ideas about a license.
Wouldn't you mark the steering wheel before you remove it? Centerpunch. Then there would be no guesswork in reassembly.
You never cease to amaze
You are opening the bag to reveal the unboxing that you already unboxed. 🤣
Here in Oz, everyone wants to see a "formal" mechanic trade qualification before you get hired. Keeps a whole raft of bureaucratic idiots in paid employment to control this system I suppose. Shame about the old guys like me that were doing this before these things came in.
Eric O.'s Periodic Table:
– Chinesium (ChN3)
Been there done that the blower motor on our xterra seized and blew all the fuses and the thing that made the blower speed selector was crap too not to mention the fella who beat the tar out of his girlfriends car took out the cabin filter and only put half of the new one in so it was full of leaves muck and crud. Pulled it all down and cleared it and rebuilt the entire unit condenser and heater core were both new
Very entertaining Eric O @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC
Cool I thought it was missing something their not all that dissimilar to the xterra and I did get into mine and replace a switch for the lights and wipers but everything else was fine yes I did disconnect the battery so those pesky airbags wouldnt get me.
I AM ALSO A MASTER TECH. AND HE IS VERY GOOD, HE WOULD DO WELL IN THE SOUTH WERE I AM. NONE OF THAT RUST CRAP FROM THE ROAD SALTS THEY USE UP THERE.
And the moral of the story is: don't buy a Nissan.
Eric you need licenses to fix Tesla’s Cars!
Great video, great strategy, very logical, and the most important at the end that you have another very happy customer who will come back for sure for more service. You deserved the respect and trust.
The mechanics like you Eric should be treated, trusted, and respected like doctors in hospital cause we are doing the same thing performing good diagnose, and fixing things for clients. Big thanks from Canada to you Eric and keep up the good work, and see u soon.
What's up with the whole battery connecting / disconnecting stuff? Are you afraid that the airbag is going to fire spontaneously? And if so, why are you not afraid it's going to fire randomly when driving the car?
I've been removing and re-installing airbags from cars for a long time now, and almost never disconnected the battery. I trust that the airbag module is safe and will not trigger based on (dis)connecting an output, even in case of an electrostatic discharge. I only see a possibility for it firing when someone puts 12v on the wires from some other circuit. So the only exception is when I did not remove the airbag myself, or I or someone else did some wire repairs near the airbag wires while it was removed.
Or are you disconnecting the battery for some other reason?
I like the test rides. Makes me feel like we are going somewhere
I could never figure these cars out like you do ..My cars would be in the junkyard
I cant deal with new cars .too confusing
My Florida 1971 Cb750 honda doesn't need one of those steering gimmicks
Nice – Hit those "bumps" after she just had a wheel alignment.
Like the "if I can do it…" Catch phase. All you need is ..public liability insurance …£000s of test equipment, years of experience and an understanding of what it is your doing !!!! Other wise …keep a fire extinguisher handy remember folks if its not broke Keep fixing till it is
Good fix Eric O.
Wow don’t need a licence for a mechanic shop? Loving America more everyday
Wassup Eric
I've been watching your video since 2018 probably. I work with routers mainly but I can easily repair cars, washing machines, fridges or anything that works with electricity.
But now something has changed and it is your fault. I started to call anything I'm working on "the apparatus".
It easier and it makes really easy to refer to the device when you're not calling it with it's name!
CoronaScam. Please don't eat the bullshit.
I'm not surprised that there are people taking money to work on cars who lack common sense and good work habits, because I've seen the same in many other occupations. If more folks had those two things SMAR and I would have less work and be less valued, but the world would be a happier place. Eric is my kind of folks.
I was particularly grateful to see OLD GLORY flying in several places along Main Street 🙂
310S certification is for cars and light trucks. 310T certification is for medium duty trucks and trailers. 3 to 5 year apprenticeship then you need to write an exam to get your licence trade certificate. Combination of schooling and work experience.
Can not legally work on cars in Canada in a shop environment that does work for the public without a trade certificate or registered apprentice.
This reminded me of the time i believe in kansas a car load of tornado chasers who's driver thought the tornado was going northeast but in fact was coming straight at him. He tried to out run the tornado but because of the intense winds his Nissan's traction control system was misidentifying the car as being out of control and intensely applied the brakes. Multiple people in the car were killed. You can find it on youtube.
LMAO, wheeeeee. Take it for a shake. LOL .One of your admirers sent me over, from a homestead channel I was watching, doing construction. Ha, Ha, Ha. He just shot himself in the leg with a nail gun, today's vedio. One ER VISIT later. My comment was about the fact he needed a new cap, and this joker said to look at yours. LOL.
I'm on Long Island, my daughter is in Buffalo. If I get stuck on the way. I'll swing by and say hi. Goodie, goodie, goodie. My son-in-law works for Keller Chevy. Oh, I'm a woman who was married over 4 decades to a guy who never trusted any mechanic. Did it all himself. I've got the Chilton books to prove it. Their expensive! G-D Bless, and may your first try fixing anything, be correct, the first time. Ride that shoulder lady. P.S. your cap isn't frayed.
In the UK there's no requirement for certification and no licensing, as long as you report (enough 😉 ) of your income then you're alright. There are places like IMI and City Guilds that give you certification and that is recognised by most employers. You can choose to do vehicle maintenance at college (16-18 years old) and that can give you another form of qualification as well
License is just another way to steal your money by the government. County, state and local. Then the US government at the end of the year. Hell, some states have an employment tax just because you have a job and are not a government parasite.
awesome. good job. had my truck in the local shop I go to, a long long while ago I asked to check the air filter, said it was OK, in the mean time the engine has not run vary well for a couple of years, I looked at it my self it was so crusty it crumbled, I put a K&N filter in and the engine now runs great. crazy.
VERY good ! I have the same system on my vehicle.. wow crazy it was all in that part. They dont give those away ! Wow I wonder if this a common failure uhhhg. Great diagnosing here !
The real question is does the horn work?
I commend you for your professionalism!
Awesome as always
Eric have you ever set something down nicely or do you always throw things down?
