In this video I have a look at a ladies Honda CRV because she said the engine light is on and it is really hard to get started. By that she meant it cranks a reallllly long time before it will fire. A few checks at the cranks sensors showed us we had nothing…. no power, ground or signal! Hmmmm… I smell a ratðŸ!

You really went the extra mile for this customer. To the farthest corner of Wilberts yard!
I bought an old Volvo from a nice couple in another county in a rural area. picked up the vehicle and drove it about miles on the way home stopped for gas. A mouse ran out from under the car and scurried away. I guess it was holding on for dear life until then.😢
So the person that plugs in that connection had just finished lunch ( big yiros or hamburger) oh these wires smell so good!
You are a gem. Just because it is new (part) doesnt mean its good. What ever time it takes to secure the needed part from Wilberts and return the working car to the customer is totally worth every dollar. Roughly 70 percent of new parts that arebeing delivered are wrong. That takes even more time. Keep your customers smiling.
nice job.
It's still great you do that I realize you have to charge but customers don't have to sit and wait for their car so yes you do deserve kudos my hats off to to you cut yourself way to short O'
Do the mice eat the high quality black tape?
I have heard that mice hate peppermint.
No one should work for free.
I have worked in electronics (hands on) for over 50 years. Your repair techniques are very good, Eric. Give only minimal attention to the critics. 🖖ðŸ¼ðŸ€
Thanks again for another interesting trip to Wilbert's! I myself have haunted the cluttered aisles of my local Pick-a Part.
Awesomeness! Capitalism is great! Your customers are lucky
Nice job awesome
Eric, im curious if you don't mind , what happened to your little excavator, i notice you have it in the shop
I wonder if the Honda mouse tape would work there.
Eric your videos are instructional from an automotive prespective, educational from a general mechanical & electrical repair standpoint and last but not least very entertaining. Keep it up Mr. O.
I find everything you do is just great. The dealer would have wanted to sell her a new motor, lol
Been around the crimp and seals since the mid-60s. Don't understand how anyone could have a problem with them
Nice under hood light bar. Who makes it? Thanks
That electrical tape mini-roll on the 10mm socket is an awesome trick.
It has taken quite a few trips to Wilbert’s before I realized you weren’t wearing a night club bracelet! 😂😂
Love these videos. Thanks EO and Co!
THIS HONDA SHOULD NOT HAVE RAN WITH THE WIRES IN TWO ON A CRANK SENSOR
Better the 2nd time Mr o
I had a truck that the fuel level sensor stopped working. Found that a mouse had eaten about 6 inches of the wiring along the frame rail. I replaced it and it work great for about a month, after which, I found that the little devil had eat the 6 inches of new wire that I had just installed the previous month. That was a little frustrating.
those dirty rats love hondos they love that soy bean based plastic they make a rodent spray for hondas
Question what Power Pro is a good tool to have? I am a DIY and I watch your videos all the time. I have learned a lot from watching your videos. Thank you, and let me know.
Tape on a socket was a neat helpful way to finish the job
