- In a previous video • Dodge Ram: Unscrewing ... we had a look at a Dodge Ram that came in multiple problems and low and behold it was a pretty simple diagnosis. It's to bad the customer got ripped off by the other shop. In this video I pop in the new ignition switch and verify the repair. -Enjoy!

I like the way he talks to his audience like we're sitting across the seat from him. Bouncing references to songs or old movies. Bestowing his years of knowledge and analytical thought. And lesson for the day " don't be a jerk!"
And reminding men that they have to get it in the hole.
Thats the joy of Eric O, he is an entertainer. I would watch 100 brake jobs, not because I need to watch them. Its for the entertainment factor.
Actually, talking your way (thinking out aloud) through a job is good for the audience, it enhances the *learning experience*. You also see the logical thought processes at work. As a former mechanic and technical college teacher, I do that all the time, even now after being retired for some 20 years. Old habits die hard. Eric O should be in education preparing the next generation of mechanics, he'd be a natural. From what I see here, and have seen in the past, teachers like him sorely needed.
He is a born teacher! I thoroughly enjoy his videos! Thank you for the knowledge and entertainment.
JERRY THE JERK
You have the easiest going frame of mind. Makes me wonder why I am always PISSED. I'm going to take a lesson from you. Lighten Up . Thanks, you make it all look easy.
You're a father so, yes, you are a "life coach" and one hell of a mechanic.
You get my 2020 vote.
You should do a video about customer reactions when you properly fix a car that other shops couldn't figure out.
Eric, it's shops like the one who took this guy for $300+ that makes all of your viewers appreciate how good and honest *you* are. We all wish we were smart and skilled enough to avoid *that guy,* and it's a prime reason I've tried to learn to do as much as I can on my own. And I've learned a ton from you!! I've said it before, but I'll say it again - Thanks!!
Too bad there isn't some form of consumer protection for stuff like that, that also wouldn't end up with unnecessary litigation for honest shops like SMA. There is no way the customer should be on the hook for that entire $300 bill from the other shop. The parts they didn't need and part of the wasted labor costs of them not doing a damned thing. A simple diagnostic charge and them admitting they don't know wtf was wrong would've been fair at least.
It is exactly why I started fixing my own car again. I have an intense fear of taking my car to dishonest shops. I've contemplated many times to make a 1000+ mile drive to SMA to get the valves adjusted, CVT starter clutch replaced, and a few others things if I can find the time and save up the money for the trip plus the his invoice when he is done with what needs to be done.
The Honda service writer telling me my car has things it doesn't when I was getting quotes for some things made me certain my car will never go there; and now I have to find another somewhere that can do the takata air bag recall; because again, that shop is not touching my car.
I may just get rid of it one day and get me an old classic anyway. More room in them to work in them, simpler, less things to go wrong in general, and they look and sound better. Personal opinion ofc. Just going from 40-50 mpg to 9-12 will be a big hit :p

I am an independent mobile mechanic and I watch all of his videos to learn/refresh my knowledge. I also try to absorb his calm demeanor.
@@kuromurasakizero9515 I got a misfire diagnosis from an independent specialist shop - my town's version of SMA - and they documented the hell out of it, including closeup photos of oil-fouled spark plugs and a printout of the "piston rings" service bulletin from Hondoo with every symptom checked off & initialled by their Eric O. Took it to the Hondoo dealer and showed them my pictures & printouts; they said there would be a $95 diagnosis fee. I said I already have a diagnosis, so I won't be paying for another one. Inexplicably, they accepted that answer and took it back, confirmed the diagnosis and scheduled the repair, $0.
There are outstandingly bad shops, big expensive bad shops and then shops like South Main Auto Repair that are miles above all others!
Real Story - Our 2000 Saturn L300 blew a serpentine belt. Had it towed in after I tried to change the belt myself (minus 15 degrees in Wisconsin) learning it is impossible without taking off a motor mount. Large multi-location shop told me the water pump, harmonic balancer and wires/sensors needed to be replaced from damage from belt breaking. We also had an evap problem that haunted us for years. Yes, fix it I said. It only cost $1,400!!! Two months later driving on the highway around a bend, the belt let go again! Took it back to the same shop, $700 later I picked up the vehicle and half way home the Check Engine Light went ON. I immediately opened the hood (and my eyes) and looked around. What do I find... an extra harmonic balancer pulley was sitting on the steering rack balancing inches from the 3rd serpentine belt! I went back to the shop asked for a manager to come outside, I shined a very bright flashlight down inside at the extra part and asked, "What do you see?"... one word answer "Yupp". I demanded they refund the 2nd serpentine belt break fee seeing how their ineptness caused the belt to break! Nope, can't do that. I said fix the Engine Light for it wasn't there before. I picked up the car and weeks later I noticed an oil leak under the engine. I looked underneath and someone had grinded lines into the oil pan from wheel to wheel... so I know this wasn't a bottom scrap from the road etc... That was the last time I used any shop! Since then, I replaced oil, spark plugs, wheel hubs, sub frame, brakes n rotors, e-brake, valve cover/intake gaskets and that just the Saturn. I also repair my 1996 Dodge Ram 2500 with 5.9 engine (radiator, crank position sensor, brakes/rotor/hubs, oil pump etc...)
Honesty goes a long way with me. What Eric does on this channel is great! Filming while getting dirty is not easy. If every shop required video proof of diagnostics... no bad eggs would be employed. Eric not only isolates the problem(s), but he literally verifies every failure with multiple tests! Bravo! It is so much easier to be honest and do a good job than it is to be an rss!
I have a dilemma today. We bought a new 2020 Yaris hatchback. A new car every 20 years isn't bad. We are facing our first scheduled maintenance for what is supposed to be 2 years worth of free service. I read the fine print and it doesn't include fluids or parts. This is not what the Toyota salesman said when I asked, "We pay nothing to have our oil changed". Answer, "Not for 2 years". So Eric if you read this dribble and managed to get this far... should I do my own maintenance on our new Yaris or fall into the same service trap with our new car? The Yaris looks to be very maintenance friendly. Unlike the Dodge Ram or Saturn.
Common sense is so uncommon today! Pleasure watching you work.
Thank Common Core!
You should update your closing to, "Just remember folks, If I can do it, most other mechanics can't.".
Lmfao😆😆😆😆😆
Peter Allen - Or “If you can’t do, I can do it”.
Reminds me of astrals auto saying. He says some shit like "if i cant do it no one else can"
Eric is the man!!
"If I can do it, there's somebody else who can't!"
You need to update your branding - "South Main Auto Repair - fixing other shop's screw ups since 2005. Proudly not sponsored by Napa"

I`ll bet the owner never goes back to that other "shop" that ripped him off due to poor diagnosis and their parts cannon. I`ll bet he tells his friends who the honest shop is that treated him well...SMA. Thanks for sharing, great job as usual Prof O.
Jeff -- my 55 plus years with vehicles --tells me he will sell it in the next 3 months.
That is my track record, whether machining parts for someone or diagnosing things
as Eric does.
THAT'S what's wrong with my crescent wrench! I've been using the METRIC one on my 'Merican stuff.....
If you are willing to shop around, there are some that can do both ‘Merican AND metric all in one!! All you have to do is flip it over. 😜
It's a shame that Crescent wrenches are made in China now
Don't forget to buy a right handed crescent wrench!
I attended automotive shop class in the mid-60's and would receive C- on the tool test. That crescent wrench was called an open-end adjustable. Ha ha ha Really enjoy this. You know this is Vanessa's garage.
@mister kluge Obviously you have more hope than the history of Americia warrants!
Dammit, just found out I need to go out and buy METRIC crescent wrenches! All the ones I have are imperial!
You'll be pleased to know another TH-camr, Hubnut, in the UK, has done a binding brake fix on his Mitsubishi Delica 4WD van after watching one of your infamous brake job videos! Your knowledge travels far and wide Eric!
I fixed my brake issue that way too! I had a stuck caliper pin and it was causing this high pitched screaming noise...(well that noise was my wife yelling the brakes were making a noise) but following Dr. O patented brake method fixed it right up!
After I had a dealership replace my rear brake pads and rotors under warranty I took it apart to make sure it was done right, Eric O style
We need more honest mechanics like you Eric. Great job here in Norway as well.
We need more honest mechanics like you Eric. Great job.
Your mechanic's knowledge is Sensei level. Your videos are incredibly informative....DO NOT throw it all away and punish your family by pursuing a singing career!! Awesome video...as always!
Life lesson: If you are going to pay somebody to do a job, find the person that is competent enough to do the job.
that's the hardest part!
Life Lesson: If you think a good mechanic is expensive you should try a bad one sometime.
@@misterhat5823 absolutely it might cost you more to get someone good to do it but the reason is because they spend 4 hours 10 hours diagnosing it checking wire by wire connection by connection Data by data sheet by sheet and eventually fix it as the "cheaper" shop wouldn't
m ph what if there aren't any? I literally have to do things myself because all mechanics here are scammers. The only problems I take them to is with anything that requires a hoist, as I'd prefer safety over anything.
@@Ownage4lif31 Are they scammers because you feel they are charging to much or because they are unable to repair/diagnose a problem properly and may be incompetent?
I have done all my own work for 20+ years. I Could not afford to pay for repairs in the beginning, hence do it myself. Now I kind of enjoy doing my own repairs.Labor is VERY expensive today.
A lot of the cost comes from taxes. If you have a $1000 repair bill, I would bet to say $400 of that goes to the government in the form of taxes.
Blast from the past,...i inherited that ignition sw when I hired into Chrysler 1988 and there were two suppliers making it for 2million vehicles. the ignition sw actually was installed at the steering column supplier and then the columns were shipped to various plant. the key cylinder would be slammed in at the plant causing key in warning issues but that was resolved with a design change. the security was the tamper proof torques. I most of re-worked 100's of those at the plant. been working in electrical at chrysler for over 30 years and you do a nice job trouble shooting the issues and repairing the issues.
poor fella LOL
I was waiting for the Bryan Adams riff..."Cuts Like a Knife" That Eric O. He's a sharp one..a cut above...stop stop.😃👍
The first cut is the deepest. - Cat Stevens but like the Sheryl Crow version
She'll carelessly cut you and laugh while your bleeding. - Billy Joel
You better cut cut cut that cut that collar
Got got got got gotta ride it - Cherry Pickin by Kate Nash
Look, I'm in the cut, the boy in the cut - Drake
If only they all had illuminated keyholes. Might be easier to start em up that way.
Also best life advice ever.
Also, everything in moderation, including moderation.
Good mechanics aren’t expensive. They’re priceless.
I flipped through the service manual today on a combine I was replacing the radiator in and there was quite the list of things to remove that I never even came near when removing the radiator.
Amazing video series. I love the emphasis on diagnosis. Watching these videos, you realize how most shops are really lacking.
I wish I had some one to show me the things you do you student when I was there age I hope they know what they have with you . You have helped me a great deal from the videos. Thank you for doing what you do . My son in NC is starting out and I hooked him up with you videos and he was amazed by the step by step to get through every thing . I dont turn wrenches for a living but do a lot of my own work and dont have the diagnostic machines you do but you help me to get to the sources of my problems so thank you for your help .
Eric: Your test equipment (scanners, probes, etc.) are invaluable for your work, but what REALLY makes the difference is your experience and intuition. I retired from a 40 year electrical engineering career and I have to say your understanding of circuits and automotive systems is really top notch….and you’re a nice guy. It just doesn’t get any better than that!
“If we slip, we bleed”. that is 100% of the time for me
I always say, If you don't bleed your not a mechanic!
WHEN I slip, I bleed.
My theory is if you ain't bleeding when wrenching then you either did something wrong or weren't working hard enough. Either way you get back at it until you spill some blood cells.
You've Got To Get Your Timing Right , And Do It At The Correct Time Of The Month .
NO SLIP NO BLEED IN THE MENS CYCLE .
I always bleed without knives or slipping
I don't care what this guy charges, if I couild get my Hon-doo to him I'd tell him to fix what needs fixin'.
@@TStheDeplorable Now that's funny!
He mentioned his rates in an older video. I don’t know if it’s because he’s in a rural area but they sounded really cheap to me! I can’t remember exactly, but I think it was around $80/h.
@@lyellgalbraith2895 I've been to SMA twice, shop rate 80+tax. A true bargain.
Hell if I could do it I'd ship my 85 Chevy C30 up north from NC for him to get running.
@@lyellgalbraith2895 that's dirt cheap
I think the previous mechanic worked on this for hours and put some parts on it. Eric can do the diagnostics much faster and he is able to analyze so many measurements, complex diagrams and data in a flash whereas the other mechanic probably spends a lot of time overwhelmed and confused. At 350 dollars there was no greedy scam perpetrated. I hope the mechanic watched this video to begin to learn how to test and verify electrical problems. If Eric's lessons don't help then do your best replacing brake pads, belts, struts, bearings etc. and send these types of problems out to a specialist.
With surgical precision and a great attitude and sense of humor, DR O lets a dodge live another day! Top job, Thank you for including us!
“T20 first try.” 🤣🤣
It was the first try with the T20

Just like Lego Batman
The one negative must be from the other repair shop!
Up to 18 now
Good call!!!!
45 people now.. All the " butt-hurt mechanics and techs and shop managers that like the " Parts cannon " approach.. Haha! . Losers !!!
All 49 of their employees have chimed in now. Must be a Les Schwab or Oil Stop...
Or Chris Fix
I'm a retired small engine mechanic ,enjoy your work.
Thanks for the follow up. As for the other shop , most other shops just load the parts cannon then say sorry needs to go to dealer you owe me 500.00 . Sad they give the good honest shops a bad name. Strong work love your videos keep em coming.
And sometimes it's the dealer doing the parts cannon deal.
Honda uses break away head screws on the ignition switch. The thrill of removing those is beyond description.
maxbored - I recall he had a video on one of those.
Nissan used similar screws to attach the ignition switch to the steering column on my 240Z. I installed a cutting blade in my Dremel and cut a slot in the screw shafts. The screws could then be removed with a flat-blade screwdriver.
Yo
Just because its hot,
The fixin don"t stop,
It's SMA,
That's our favourite shop.
Pick your own beat💪😎
Eric should make a rap music video in his shop... complete with dancing wife and pet tricks bringing the metric crescent wrench.

I still am amazed watching your approach. I did my first carb in 1962 at age 7. Dad put a box on the table in front of me and removed the directions. Hillman husky never ran better.
I almost watched a whole ad for you bro. My good deed for the day. Hope that helps 👍
So much easier than it use to be when it involved dropping the column
I never get tired of watching your videos , your talent amazes me !!! Great job Eric. !!! 👍👍
You, sir, were in rare form today with all your old school song references and funny sayings! Thank you for the video!
Whoa first? Great job Mr. O! Ironically I just finished watching Part 1 when this popped up.
"The big 4 incher - that's what I call it." Too funny. Hope the wheel sensors work with the new ignition switch.
That's what she said.
You're very good and honest mechanic Eric. And honest business man. Enjoy your videos.
You need to change "if I can do it you can do it" to "if I can do it you can can do it, but let's face it it will take 10 times as long, and you got a 50/50 chance of screwing it up worse". All kidding aside I found a bad harness on my Camaro ZL1 after my dealer told me it was a bad fuel pump, give us $1000. Great show, love the information, cars are really complex now.

Just want to say how much I enjoy and appreciate your videos. Grabbed some merch to show some support. Grateful for the info and instruction, but also the honesty when you miss something or get a diagram turned around in your head. Love to see more diagnose walkthroughs while you teaching your apprentice the Jedi ways. Maybe a good series idea?
Thanks Eric O. Entertaining and I learn something every time I watch your videos
Oh, gosh, don't go on Twitter. It is a cesspool of lies and garbage ... and I'm being nice.

Good job man. Love your vids and very informative. Looks like an honest mechanic. Im an HVAC guy and try to be as honest as I can with my customers too. Just sometimes they dont like what ya have to say. Im sure you know what im talking about.
Tweeter away! Great stuff as always Eric. Thanks for putting this together for us. Take care man.
SMA first thing Monday morning?!?! Gonna be a great week! Awesome...great you got the job, and that it was fairly straight forward (as you had already done all the trouble-shooting).
Funny thing is I have that same motor in my dakota lol but those old magnums in my opinion are better than the hemis

@@kennethbode2017 But how do you get them to stop drinking so much gas?
“That would make it easy to steal.” That would be why the Ram was the 2nd most stolen vehicle of the early 2000’s. Right behind the Jeep Cherokee. Probably use the same ignition switch.
Early 2000's fords would be easier
@@AnonYmous-qg4ph But why would anyone steal a Ford???
my 94 Dakota shares a very similar design to this just slightly more dated , and yeah only took the thieves about 2 minutes when they stole it back in 2017. If you own one of these trucks .... a killswitch or a steering wheel bar lock is your best friend.
@@phoenixbranwen766 steering wheel bar lock, that takes another 15 seconds to defeat ;)
when they were more popular and steering wheels plain round, people wold just bolt cutter the wheel itself..
Thank you Eric for fixin' the guy's RAM.
still amazes me the technology in auto parts . i mean wow how this stuff is made and i worked at GM PowerTrain in BayCity Michigan 37 yrs and this stuff still blows me away !!
dad always told me "if your going to be dumb might as well be good at it " that why i dont work on my vehicles except minor stuff
Life advice, “don’t be a jerk” hopefully referencing the other repair shop who charged $300+ and didn’t actually fix the problem.
Love what you do very thorow when you are diagnosing .my favorite to watch .
That Chrysler vehicle with its new lifetime SMA customer will be the gift that keeps on giving $$$ to SMA.
sounds like Josh still working on that mainfold
I tend to fix everything with red wire and toggle switches
I like to use mercury switches as well.

Just fixed my aunt's jeep liberty this weekend while visiting her in pa. Two different shops couldn't figure out the cause of a p0500 code and no speedometer symptom. Crawled underneath and low and behold, the two wires for the vehicle speed sensor, had rubbed through from being against the emergency brake cable, causing a short. I was only able to diagnose this issue from learning your diagnostic process. Thank you for sharing and enabling me to help out a family member! I appreciate your hard work putting together these videos.
Back in the 60's, an ignition switch was a simple on/off (and rarely failed). My first job was delivering auto parts and the idiot I was working with actually lost the keys to his truck. I was sent out and did the classic yank-the-three-wires-and-strip-them-with-a-knife-and-jump-the-igniton to get him back to the shop. Just like in the movies!
If it were my shop, I would keep one bay closed and install AC for it. The other bay would be for Josh.
There's your problem lady!
I love it every time he says that!!!!!!
Another job well done Eric.
GREAT video Dr.O as always keep them coming.
The fact that you can buy tamper proof Torx bits defeats the whole purpose of the tamper proof Torx.
"Don't be a JERK" ... That's fair. I'm ok with that advice.
Love these two videos. I have a 97 Dakota with 286,000 on it which proves the one your working on is only half way through its useful life providing it gets some tender loving car from time to time, Thanks for sharing!
Eric O, you're the man. I love these videos.
Everything is a double entendre

I enjoy watching your videos, and the kicker is my wife has the same van as Mrs. O and my mother in law has the same highlander as the orange and silver one with the wiring problem you fixed. I have referred back to your previous videos for other repairs that I have done myself, GM EVAP vent diagnosis and so on and so on. I almost feel like I need to send you a check. Keep up the great videos and be safe.
I wish you were closer. Shops here have no clue. That's why i work on my on stuff. But at my age it would be nice to have someone you could trust. Keep it up my ried.
I like your show I leaned a lot about auto repairs.Thanks man!
Thanks for showing us the whole process
If all mechanics were like you, the world would definitely be a happier place. I would recommend that all auto shops make your videos mandatory viewing.
That 5.9 is a thirsty one but awesome
I have an 02 RAM with 185k miles on the odo
Great to see these videos you are gr8
Just rewatched this since I'm working on one now. The ignition switch was timed correctly out of the box. Did not need to be set to off position like the old one. It was set to the run position---where it needed to be in order to install the lock cylinder.
Your one of the most honest mechanics on youtube. I'm going to go to school soon as i can to get certified
