Chevy 2500: Service Trailer Brake System Jimmy: My co worker has a Chevy 2001 truck with the 6. 0L in it. It would not stay running for more than a second for him to go home. We both work at the car shop and he and the boss were on the right path on power not getting somewhere. I took the scantool and saw no communication with the BCM which is part of the security system. After googling what term they used for BCM they called it something else in the fuse box diagram. It was a 10 AMP fuse that was corroded. He was happy to take his truck home for the weekend for sure. This truck is already rotted with under 60K miles WOW we got people where with 2000 and 2002 trucks here with over 250K miles expecting us to pull a miracle for them.

Well its good to see it even happens to the great Eric O we've all been there and had that one car that refuses to leave the garage! Brilliant diagnostic skills as always. You mentioned you're lucky or words similar its got nothing to do with it your years of skills and knowledge allow you to almost know where the problem is already and thats what people pay for. Great video as always just wish you had the time to do more

Great video. The used car guy is king right now. I just sold a ten year old low mileage mint vehicle for shockingly close to what I paid for it new. You can t really blame this Chevy for spending its whole life in your horrific state of salt and corrosion but the dealer definitely swept things under the rug.

Hey Eric. Since you found a broken wire, it might be safe to say the original trailer brake controller was still good? Did you try connecting to it? Then, it would be all factory again instead of the additional controller zap strapped to a wire harness next to the old one. Just curious.

Eric my Camry is a 2000 model. A friend of mine who works at Advance Auto said to change all the fuses inside and in the engine bay fuse box. I put a stereo in the Camry. The audio guy checked a fuse. When he pulled it out it broke apart. So should I change all fuses?

Ya, it's only a 5 minute job! UHUH!
Oh look! Eric fixed the intermittent crank/no start!
Gatta love these rust bucket jobs!
It'll be back for that intermittent crank/no start!
Anyway, good job Mr. O. Ivan would be (no parts required) proud!

South Main Auto. Yep got burned one time a long time ago. Since then I always check for power on both sides of the fuse and then pull the fuse to make sure both legs of the fuse are there. Like you said it's funny until it's you, then it's not funny.

I've had a few folks come into my shop for second opinions on used cars they're looking to buy recently. A couple were just ridiculous and don't come anywhere close to passing a state inspection. It definitely is a rough time to buy a car right now.

Great Video Eric, I am so thankful I live in the Great Southwest where rust is NOT a problem. my 2001 Chevy Suburban is Rust Free! and the Fuse Panel you just worked is, is tight on every fuse I have pulled out to Verify they are good.

WHEW! Good save on the no start Eric! Thumbs UP man! I have GM fuel pump fixer that I keep hang on the wall in my shop. It is a chunk of Maple Firewood! A few whacks with that will usually get it going again LOL
