In this video I have a look at a 2001 Nissan Sentra that was dropped off with a customer complaint of “battery and brake light on.” It didn’t take long to find out the vehicle was not charging. Also Eric and Vanessa contemplate if overalls are the next best thing to wear!?
-Enjoy!

Should I make the switch to overalls… that is the real question…👨ðŸ½â€ðŸŒ¾
Yeah the step that is missing is 1_RE, RE-move engine
Knowing this is an older video…. I was a Rail worked Bib's were the choice for clothing….
Service Data , to replace Alternator , remove engine . 😅
The gab between you and Mrs O is priceless and funny as hell! Lol It's the same way myself and the Mrs are quite frequently that is when we're not trying to kill each other!😮 Lol🤣 Ease up there… I'm only kidding! Somewhat. 🤔🤦🤷😂 But seriously as far as coveralls or overalls are concerned…. Tried them and never been a fan. Sticking with jeans and a T for me. The Mrs prefers the what do you call em…. Tank tops, you know the ones with the skinny straps over the shoulders which kind of bag under the pits. On her… So do I, hubba hubba 🤦🤷. I won't even mention the time she leaned forward and one of those straps got twisted around….. Well let's just say no one forgot it although she'd love it if we would forget it! Especially the grand son who happened to be 5 at the time and hollered at the top of his lungs when she straightened out, which also got everyone's immediate attention….. Hey Grammy your boobie is sticking out! 😮🤦🤷😉🤣 I've never seen that boys eyes or mouth open as big, not even over a Huge Jeffero bowl of Chocolate Ice Cream! 🤔😂🤦🤷🤣 So don't ever let anyone tell you that family bbq's can't be fun! Later! J Poll. Oh… On a real note, what happens if you do the load test and it can't handle the 50 or so amps? Are we talking Cheech and Chong… UP IN SMOKE?
Try the overalls!!! I love mine. I have worn them since I had MRSA and can’t wear a belt because of scarring that’s still prone to bleeding.
I wore overalls for years and years. If they fit right and are made of the correct material, they are awesome. Got to have the uniform service though so they do the cleaning, patching and replacing. They save your clothes, your skin and your washing machine. What you wear under the overalls depends on the weather. A plus is the pockets.
You do you whatever makes you comfortable then that's what you do brother
Trust me, you HATE your job when you’re a line cook, 30 tickets are hanging, you’re on pans/saute, allergy notes everywhere, and you have about 10 tickets to “pick upâ€. AND about 10 tickets to “call†still while god knows how many tickets haven’t even been glanced at. Hundreds of dollars of steaks are waiting for your pastas/risottos/tunas etc. THATS a job you fing hate. It’s cancer causing anxiety. Though I guess it’s all relative. But that is objectively horrible.
Wow I almost think you are a believer in Our Lord Jesus Christ 🙂
🤣
Put more light subject
it was, in fact, not a piece of cake.
That looked one of my repair jobs. Greasy, sweaty, ripped gloves, frustration, and poetic reflection. Cant fix them all from thr front seat.
Been wearing bibs for 30 plus years mainly because they're comfortable slightly oversized let's the breezes blow through in the summertime love the channel thank you
Would the car still Accelerate
I have a 2010 maxima that’s not charging. I’ve replaced the alternator and battery twice and still have the brake and battery light on. I’m stuck send help!
Have you seen the brake they have on Pakistani Truck? It is absolutely massive and, as expected, it is outside.
Just go ahead and try the dress. I did, and if I can do it, you can do it
There's no way Mrs. O is over the hill because she looks to damm good to be over 30 And where whatever is comfortable to you but no man Dresses and no listing to that Damm Rap crap and I will continue watching your videos mainly because I find them funny AF.
County music is three cords and the true
Overalls are redneck moo moos
Strap On guy?
Look! I can’t finally fit in my moomoo… the diet works
Why is ya’ll making’ fun ‘bout usins in the south? Stars and Bars forever!
You need to speak to your employer about the draconian work conditions… 😊
WARNING; The problem with wearing overhauls is that over time you will continue to grow into them, buying larger and larger until you look like the Goodyear Blimp..js
I thought this was a well done video.
Overalls are really comfortable
Sometimes God tries our patience a learning tool you might say …but good job!! ðŸ‘
What the hell are those wierd wrenches?
Yep, had the same problem on a 2003 Frontier I4. First time I saw it, it was strange. After that, whenever it happened, I knew it was the alternator. Nissan states that this is to make sure that you know you have a problem – IE: attention!
In Ontario Canada most mechanics ware coveralls. Also it’s women’s right not to ware a shirt so the Mrs can just wear her coveralls too.
Yes on coveralls
No, I can’t do it…. Like you. 😇. I admire your skill and concern for all your customers. Stay well.
those appear to be really crappy little wrenches
It was Bob Marley said, "some people are so poor to only have money."
I wear suspenders, people laugh but they're SO much better than a belt.
Bib overalls are the best. You can wear a t-shirt or not and undewear…or not. Let the jewels of manhood be free! On a side note….it only hurts when sitting in a car while in a hurry and pinching said jewels with the seam of the crotch when they shift to one side. Other than that…great!
Don't be afraid to Rock the overalls!
The overalls might be cooler but I have to say no
how is hanna and marie doing did they make sonething of thehselves?
