Had a pair of very expensive sunglasses and foolishly wore them hiking with friends in a national park about an hour from home. When we returned from hiking in the park I realized the sunglasses were lost in that park and was very disheartened, but around that time I was watching lots of old Sherlock Holmes and decided to try thinking like Holmes instead of remaining upset. I sat down, composed myself, and thought about the glasses, when I was wearing them, when I was not, which trails we were on, etc.
I realized that I had been wearing them on the last trail we were on before we got to our cars. I had been wearing a flannel shirt with a front pocket and remembered putting the glasses in the pocket. Also, I took off the shirt and slung it over my shoulder at one point. Then, it came together! I had taken off the shirt because I was hot right after climbing a big (memorable) hill.
The next morning, early, I drove up the mountain, parked and walked down the trail toward that hill. At it's crest, my glasses were lying in the middle of the trail where they had fallen out of my shirt when I took it off!
That episode sticks out as a lesson on the power of calm, logical, unpresumptive relentlessness.

I like this one! Years ago, coworker working on boss’s son’s car feverishly trying to figure out a dim headlight with a new bulb. Two hours in, dude freaking out. I asked, Did you check fuses His reply, No, the other one works. We check together, one side on one fuse, other side on its own fuse. One blown. Hmmm, guess I wasn’t dumb after all! We surmised it pulled minimal voltage back through ground purposely to illuminate a little for some measure of safety, never did look any deeperit worked again!
Thanks for all you do for us! I did a Honda timing belt water pump last week. Guess who my teacher wasYou, Mr. O! Thanks again!

A little story about my 86. 5 Nissan Hard Body Pickup. I ran that thing 330, 000 miles before giving it to the son of a friend. In all those miles it needed
1 alternator
1 rear brake job
2 front brake jobs
1 clutch
a few light bulbs
1 tuneup (plugs, etc)
Not sure how many tires I put on it.
Back then gas was $1/gallon. The truck got 20mpg. When I passed 200K miles I realized that 200Kmiles/20mpg = 10, 000 gallons of gas or $10K into the gas tank. As it turns out, $10K is what I paid for the truck. More into the tank than the price of the vehicle from there on.
Best truck I ever owned.

I hodl and hope for the moon one day myself, but what I see as possibly always hurting or limiting the value or $XAI33 is this- it actually takes very little $XAI33 to make financial transactions, like around 10 $XAI33 per million transactions are being burned. For that reason institutions will never need to hold quantities of XAI33 nor will the burn rate ever (factoring in the current # of all global transactions daily) reach a point where scarcity and value meet for XAI33 in my lifetime. Any thoughts

Thanks Eric. I recently replaced my valve cover on my Nissan rogue. Started it and noticed intermittent misfire. I stepped away and considered the possible causes. Coils VVT Throttle Body Did Throttle valve relearn (easy guess. nope. Visual of VVT and connector. looked ok. Checked Coil 1 and noticed the 2 ground wires right in front of it were loose. OOPS. Tightened down and problem solved. I've learned a lot from watching your videos. Thanks.

LMAO. Eric, Because I never plugged it up. I knew you were going to find that issue with the bulb not being pulled back in; ) However, this is a very important video of having a troubleshooting process. Some may turn their nose up at this, but not only have I used this in the auto world, but this something that I learned in college and applied it almost weekly working with computers and computer software. It works ppl!

Back in the Day all Japanese cars were Junk. They were rust buckets. But nobody kept their cars more than 4 years because the manufactureres hadn't lost their minds and jacked the price through the roof. So it rusted out and you traded it in for another $3K car. Then they were shipped down south got resold 3 times for some absurd price and then finally got taken to the crusher. 50% of American cars were the Same way.

Happened to me: light bulb kaputt, put a new one in, doesn't work. Figured it was because being a cheap a$$ I got the cheapest one. Bought another one, still doesn't work. Being a company car and quite busy I left it for weeks. When I came back to it I figured You know what, I never tried exchanging bulbs with the other side. Guess what, it works.
Lesson: don't buy cheap bulbs.

Eric O's Comedy show! Oh man that made me smile. As you were fixin' to get at the fuse box, not only is it Always a module but everything's plastic now, with nowhere to put your mag light. Than as you couldn't break into the fort knox box of fuses, I could see why the other shop Doesn't do major electrical. You'll have to give the heroic allen wrench pry bar a name now.

Never discount the value you gift us in a by the basics video lesson. Some folks and many professionals need to go back to basics. Ran j to this situation a few years ago on a vehicle. Turned out on second fuse blown it was the headlamp stick on the steering column shorting internally only on high beams. Thank you and mrs o for sharing your time with all of us. Peace.

What a fine fellow you are! Super sharp for such a young'un. Analytical, efficient and effective. And very nice of you to help a new customer out. You may be seeing this Nissan on a return visit for future repairs. I do expect to see a 25 Min video on the bulb X2 replacement. Gotta pad those stats for the Tube of U! Thanks for the video, lunch time over!

Just because its new doesn't mean its good. Just because another shop said they checked xyz, you better double check it yourself! in the begining of my career I had a trailblazer no low beams, high beams work. bulbs were good. Well it turns out they used a soild state relay that controls the low beams. Well that relay was bad.

Yup, always check the fuse before digging in deeper. If it's not the bulb and the wiring isn't crusty or been gnawed on by Fievel, then the fuse is next in the chain. After that, I'd check out the switch, then even the ignition switch. Also the relay, if there's one in there somewhere.

Nice contents you put up always. $XAI33 hits a new all time high as people increased their bids in hopes of making huge gain from the rise but as we can all see now the market is very unstable, the truth is that you can always make more profit from utility/stable coins like $XAI33.

Object oriented modular code is where it's at. You just need a CS degree now a days experience with SCADA networks, Modbus, CANbus, be NET and CCNP certified.
Also, I disagree about Nissan being low end of the spectrum. 1972 Datsun 1200 was the best, in my day!

So honestly. This is not fawning admiration, but how is it that any other shops still exist in your area In Straya in small town areas people quickly learn who does good work and can be relied on and those that can’t. Who is keeping these other shops alive

I need to visit and have you check out my car and me. Mrs O is on me like fire on wood about some things I've been saying and it's really way out there. Perhaps I stay and help Mr O out around the shop he needs a good apprentice. I'll be the janitor too.

You'd think that most people who own a car would be able to do basic maintenance like change a bulb, top up oil, top up water, maybe check a fuse, etc, but no.
Nissan used to be Datsun. They were awful. They are better now, but not much better.

I had no idea I could still do major electrical LOL 05 Chevy 3/5 ton, $18, 2 minutes, and zero tools to change a bulb, in the parking lot. 2024 King Ranch, 3 hours and $1500 for the same job. I need my head examined for even buying the thing!
