I'm a retired builder and I served my apprenticeship in bricklaying and because we are nearly always the first trade onto site everyone came to have a look as to what was going on so I was used to people looking on and asking questions and I've been on more home movies and site films than most movie stars have been on film and to be honest I enjoyed teaching my apprentices the trade, when I was reaching retirement age I was the troubleshooter and I always tried to bring someone younger with me to show him how to deal with trouble we need to show others how to learn and fix trouble and this also applies to family history no need to let your knowledge die when your life is finished

Sorry, I forgot to add the MOST Important comment! I was always TRAINED to focus on the 3'C, Complaint, Cause, and Correction and note them on the Repair Order. Using this method you always get to the ROOT CAUSE of the Complaint. Not getting to the ROOT CAUSE will guarantee an incomplete repair and a Come ]Back. In the case of a Warranty Repair, I add a 4th C, that being Collection. Not all repairs that happen during the Warranty Period are Warranty but are Customer Pay, No Defect in Material/Workmanship from the Factory.

I was a Car/Diesel Truck Mechanic for over 20 years and finished my career in various Service management positions, a total of 50 years in the Automotive Industry. I graduated from a Technical HS/Junior College.
At that time (1965) it wasn't popular not to go to a 4 year College, but it was the best decision I ever made in my life! So. go for it Josh and be the best you can be.
I wish I had YouTube and a Computer at the time, it would have made it much easier to learn/

In my kit I have a number of jumpers made up with different ends to go from the main battery lead at the solenoid to the starter terminal this proves 2 things at the same time your main power and earth are good and if the starter is good
you can also use a one man starter jumping batt +ive at the solenoid to the switch wire again proves the ster is good or bad if the starter is god then your fault lies in the starter feed from the ignition

Two things I have never successfully fixed. Side view mirror replacement, and turn signal. Never get them to shutoff after I get them back together. Once I did leave the ball out, and then lost it before I got around to taking it apart again, so that one was my bad. Mirrors, the inside control is bigger than the hole, so is the mirror, so you can't install from either direction.

As someone who has worked for years troubleshooting electrical circuits on industrial equipment, I was so happy to hear you mention half-splitting. I cant begin to tell you how many techs overlook that simple concept and waste so much time. It doesnt mean you wont find the answer, but you will almost certainly take longer. Nice job!

After using the test light confirmation on both starter lugs. I'd grab my Snap-on MCB1 and power up the S Stud. If the solenoid is bad you get nothing. Give the starter a little rap with a hammer while the key is in START. If it starts, you still get to replace the starter anyway. but then you learned something for future DOA cars.

Watched this several times and its an old video I know. But I just had to commit on how patient Eric is with the young boy. Ive wished a thousand times that I would have had such a patient teacher. Hats off to Eric for being such a down to earth good guy. Its refreshing and it has a lot to do with with his growing popularity.

This reminds me of when I took high school R. O. P. autoshop in the 80s. Instead of going to the classroom, I was placed in a garage like this one for 2 hours a day. I was taught the exact same way Eric is teaching Josh. That was also a time when just about every engine that came in was either a Chevy 350 or Slant-6.

I have encountered good batteries with high resistance between it's terminals & the battery cables. Enough to the point where the car would not start. I have also experienced batteries that measured 12 plus volts but not be able to turn the high amperage draw starter. At what point would you load test the battery?
