Motor Repair
Nice diuagnosis and explanation. well done.shame on previous tech that did not spend more time diagnosis
Okay more proof on top of many that the Ford 5.4 is a useless engine that's all I'm going to say.m
awesome helping read diag sheet # and process
We all learned an important lesson today: Those clip-style multimeter probes are not great at carrying lots of current.
The greatest start to a video ever🤣with added doodlly doo!
Your the man Ray
An excellent how to video on diagnosing an electrical short…I don't think Ford could have made getting to that stinking motor any more difficult…geez…
A great video Ray and a good explanation of the wiring diagrams and how they are laid out. Another great video…just sucks it was so invasive for a diagnosis.
3 valve engine 💩💩for changing plugs..
good diagnostics Ray, as an Electronics Tech who has had to follow up other techs " who threw up their hands", I follow the schematics and isolate, as you did
I think this is your best troubleshooting walk through to date This is why you're awesome!
Was that Bryson Gray in the background?
Love watching your troubleshooting thinking
Wow! That was really interesting. Great job diagnosing the problem Ray. Of course it had to be the most difficult component on the circuit to get to.
Wow just wow 👍
Good work, my friend. I'd tend to say that you were lucky. Or, perhaps, I'm just unlucky. A lot of times for me, what happens in these cases, right where you verified the last unit that was shorted, in my case, it would not be shorted. I would be forced into much deeper troubleshooting. Late night, 12hr a day work and a month later and my boss breathing down my neck and still no culprit. Ok, in my case, it's not automotive trouble shooting, but electronic PC board level troubleshooting. You might say to just throw away that one and buy another one. It may come to that in some cases, but these boards can be very expensive.
I bet your co-worker got to that component too and was like, " Screw this, I'm not gonna take this thing apart for a diag!
Raaaaaaay, can you find this short for me?"
🤣
Dude, you are a Mechanics Mechanic! You don't stop until you Completely diagnose an issue. Good job man!
Hey boss what's up with the audio on this video? It is so quiet for allot of the video
This may be a little too much cause it’ll be time consuming, but think it’ll be kinda cool to have a quick description of what something does. Like have the description and if people dont know what you are talking about(like me) can pause it and read it then carry on with video
Well done.
how a fire starter NI ICE brake out the mushy
I know that the truck is supposed to have a 5.4 GAS engine. But everytime there was a shot of the engine running, I SWEAR it sounded like a PowerStroke Diesel !!! Did they get an engine swap ??? Or is it just a REALLY noisy 5.4 ??
You the man
I use a small bungee cord to hold the belt
I like the subtle clues that the owner is a blue collar guy. Did i guess right?
PIA But you did this smooth and methodically. Great work Ray.
Seemed like an awful lot of components to be on one fuse/circuit.
Take the crack away from the Ford engineers. That is the biggest turd I've ever seen.
Would have left the difficult ones to last or maybe "interrupted" it's path!
I hate when the doobly doo fuse blows
I really wish he'd record putting the whole thing back together again as a bonus video!
You tried and tried to make the problem child be something simple and easy, and all the Ferd had to do was cooperate. But nooooo…
Fire 🔥 🔥 ray was cursing 🤬 lol fun shi#
Shapes, colors and now fire 😂
One of the coolest diagnosis I've seen. I'm good at repairing shorts in a wiring but i wouldn't have been able to find that one
I never thought watching diagnostics could be so interesting, love that video and the explanation, it actually made me understand how to chase wiring diagrams Love it, keep ‘em coming ray!!!!
The reason disconnecting the AC clutch had no effect and why it wasn't running is because fuse 32 powers the control side of the relay (pin 86) not the load side. If the clutch was shorted it would have blown a different fuse.
OMG that was funny, sorry for your leads burning..
As Eric O would say, "There's you problem lady"!
This is a good example of a thorough trouble shooting.
Do them a favor and have them get relay to fix the fuel pump relay when it goes. Have them reseal the front winshield and cowl area for passenger side water intrusion. And go ahead and replace all splices at drivers sill plate.
This was a great diag video. Great job!
Did you unhook the parts test then reconnect them?
amazing diagnostic skills and huge SHAME ON YOU Ford for designing such a non-user friendly vehicle
I think its pretty sad another tech dumped that on you. Im not sure about your store but we dont drop jobs on others if we have trouble. I spent 3 days on a nightmare titan false immobilizer lockout due to some electrical fuckery but it never went to someone else lol
Why not simply connect multimeter to a disconnected plug and see if it reads low resistance like below 20 ohms i'd suspect ?
No need to jump back and forth.
To make it even easier, hook up the multimeter to constantly beep mode and go pull every plug you see. One that stops the beeping is it
How are all these components on the same 15 amp fuse?
The compressor alone should get a 10 amp fuse, and even if that's good enough to power everything, it shouldn't be this way, because then when you get one short\open, you lose lots of functionality instead of just one component.
