Any other Dr. would have prescribed 2 fuses a day for 30 days. Then schedule a follow-up visit to assess the symptoms and determine if further testing and diagnostics are needed. Meanwhile, writing another prescription for a refill of 60 more fuses, taking 2 a day for the next 30 days again. Not our Dr. O, he is a family physician who cares about his patients like family. He knows he would have to fix his mistakes, if he makes a wrong diagnosis. While other doctors end up burying their mistakes.
Good job Dr. O. Have a blessed and safe week to you and your family.

If anyone s gonna find a leaky wire by golly Mr. O is the one for sure to find it. I had a car in once with cooling fan issues. It ended up having a cooling fan relay issue, before replacing the relay the ground and power were checked. Sure enough the power wire had no voltage. A broken wire. I wish I could say I found it as fast as Eric did. It s quite rewarding when you do find out the source of the problem and are able to repair it. Nice job Eric

Hi Eric,
Are tiny cameras available mounted on the end of a long flexible staff that could get you into tight spots? I know plumbers have these scope cameras that they send down sewer drains to find places where roots from trees might have grown into sewer lines. They even illuminate what the camera is trying to see. Not unlike those cameras that can go up inside people veins and such.

While you say that if I can do it, you can do it, it takes an extreme level of common sense and a fair amount of automotive experience/training to find these types of shorts. It's easy once you experience it, but not so much if you don't know components, how they work and are not familiar with wiring diagrams. Great job and remember, you get paid for what you know, not how fast you fix something.

You can blame this on GM, but unless you compare this truck to one that has never had any work done on it, you don't know if that wiring harness is in the same place that it was when it left the factory. Incorrect re-routing of harnesses and/or not securing the harness with clips and ties during repairs is a not uncommon problem.

Like a rock. that's what the engineers were smoking when they designed that. My uncle swears GM is still the best made vehicles on the road today despite the fact his 5 year old truck has had been in for service 4 times in the last 2 years and his wife's 8 year old Explorer has been in once.

Brilliant diagnostics, I was hoping for another SMA video this week. Evidence to support a failing motor was not forthcoming, so you relied on experience. It would have taken me a long time to find that one, gotta love your decision not to wiggle and twist.

If you guys want some actually useful advise, in a case like this you can save yourself a lot of trouble by taking the tab off a can of coke, and putting it in the fuse slot. It fits, and conducts, and it takes about 150 amps to blow.

Why do a lot of these type videos skip over the repair. Finding the problem, great job. Actually fixing the wires was probably 10 times harder. Just wondering, been working on cars for a very long time.
