In a previous video ( I had a look at a customers 2014 Ford Focus that came in with a customer complaint of no headlight operation, or panel dimmer and no trunk release button. My attitude went south once I discovered the rats nest of addons under the dash so I needed to walk a way for a bit. Good thing I did because we discovered the real “rats nest.” -Enjoy!

thank you you the best
Well, I don't want to criticize…
Maybe make your jumper at bench then add to car wire. I hope this helps next time.
Anyone who has dealt with the public, no matter what field your in, hears you loud and clear Eric! You absolutely should not feel any remorse for walking away in situations where you are not comfortable dealing with all their poor maintenance choices! Thanks for being honest with us and always posting the good, the bad and the ugly! (Clint's music in the background)
ive got a collection of wire strippers but never seen those . got a model and make?
Working at the dealership, I know EXACTLY how you feel. People assume we're the most expensive option (spoiler alert; we aren't) and therefore only bring their cars in once 1-3 shops have had a go at replacing parts and when the problem persists, they recommend going to the dealership because "they have a machine they will plug in and it will tell them exactly which part to replace" – most frustrating thing in the world.
Thanks for taking us along Eric O.. Do you think you would have had a cooler head, if you were sporting those overalls? Just wondering.
So this one has BOTH kinds of rats nests.
We all have those pissy pants days. It sucks cleaning up everyone elses messes. I'm glad you stuck it out.
You are a strait shooter tell it like it is thanks for sharing
I feel for you
