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!

That's what I'm looking for Eric. The money shot. My guy.
Thanks for all you teach us Eric. I'm a DIY guy. I watch all your videos because I always learn something. So my ABS light came on on my F-250. It's a 2001 4×4 with the big 7.3. A few weeks ago I had bought an Autel MS906BT scanner. So from what I learned from watching you, I hooked up the scanner, ran diagnostics. I got some ABS codes related to the front left wheel speed sensor. I went to live data and graphed it. Zoomed it and went for a drive. The right sensor was tracking along with the rear but no left. So, I went and bought a sensor and replaced the front left. Bam…. ABS light was now off. Cleared all the codes and rescanned…. no codes. Thanks Eric, By golly, I can do it! YOU ARE A GREAT TEACHER.
You are still the best even on a not so good day. You still helped someone, I hope you have the rest of the day a great one.
Psst…get the sand out of your mangina!!! I know we all have bad days! You ARE peoples last hope, take it as a compliment! Yes, you were in a mood…but thank YOU for realizing that and sticking to it!! Your customer benefited, and your audience benefitted!
I am proud of you. I don't think anyone would have faulted you for walking away. You came back and prevented the customer from getting another patch job instead of a proper repair. You are a great mechanic.
Man your awesome I wish you guys were around here where I’m at!!!!
