My shop teacher way back in the dark era (pre computer) always reminded us to look for bad grounds and that there's a reason Grounding and Gremlins start with G.
Man it’s great to see you in the saddle. Super excited about you future. Love this short format for a quick tech tip. Don’t get me wrong your longer videos are awesome too but as a tech this is like talking with the guys at the shop when you found something good to share. Thanks for the rod bit to tuck in my back pocket.
You look a Happy Man there Rich. It looks Good for you. But it’s your Decision Rich. Don’t be pressured by anyone Friend. Steve Westmoreland 👨🏻🦳♿️🇬🇧🛠️👌👍👍
Yep I agree, Rich is smiling and looks very happy . Wife and I have been praying for Rich. He is such a good man He deserves to be healthy and happy. Be Blessed my brother. Bodymanbob from Alabama.
LOL as soon as I seen the trailer hitch I put my hand up and said I KNOW I KNOW. I seen so many of these types of problems it makes ya crazy. Working for a marina the worse offenders were the owners doing wiring. Had one guy cut that ground and run it to the trailer ground and it worked sometimes with the trailer hooked up. He said it was working but stopped some times and didn't work at all with the trailer unhooked. Not a very good ground through the hitch or chains. Got to the point I pop the bulb out and test for a grounded socket.
South main Auto just had a weird one like this. An unused wire in a aftermarket radio was suddenly grounding out on a circuit that had 15 lights on it.
Awesome work. That’s why they pay you the big bucks! Question: I have a 2016 150 5.0 push button and after sitting 1-4 I get a long crank hard start. Then starts up and runs. Sits longer or shorter no issues whatsoever. Was thinking fuel pump check valve but thrown off by the certain time frame. Almost every time it sits for that time frame I get a long hard start. Any ideas? Thanks. Stay blessed and praying for a full recovery for you.
So how you verify the fuel pump when it sits that long is you push button start on but do not start the vehicle and then shut it off and then do that two or three times before you start the vehicle and if it starts up right away with no long start you know you got a fuel pump problem
I would’ve tapped that broken screw out, and put the new one in its place. If that hitch has to come out for any reason (mine was replaced because someone rear ended me) they might overlook that ground wire. Then it gets ripped completely off.
Question for you boss I got a 2017 f150 5.0 that needs an engine my local dealer says it’s on a backorder with no eta. I know you did a video on this problem a while back, just in your opinion how long you realistically think it’s gonna be till I see an engine? Thanks boss
This video just helped me fixed this issue myself after I did a bad job re-grounding after hitch install. Probably saved me hundreds on a mechanical bill. Thank you!
I don't know where you guys come up with this stupid s*** it doesn't have anything to do with me walking I can walk I am on a restriction of 10 to 15 lb and I'm not even doing anything I'm literally just hanging out with a buddy and I'm diagnosing I just doing light things that I could have done at the dealership if they had enough work to keep me busy but they didn't they literally could not keep me busy so I have to go find other things to do with myself and I'm getting bored sitting at home so this is where I'm at spending my time doing what I do making content because my work issue is now affecting my content here so I got to find that elsewhere you understand what I'm saying
Well you may have a bulb problem or a bulb socket problem or a connection issue but sometimes whenever you fix the problem you need to clear codes because it will set a code sometimes in the body control module and it will shut down the circuit
@@FordBossMe yeah, I've replaced the bulbs and like I say they work for my running lights no problem just turn signal and brake lights don't work, but only on the left side. The front works the mirrors work, but not the rear brake in signal.
We’re you able to move your tool boxes and tools yet? Got someone I can probably get you a deal moving if need be
Not yet, I have not accepted a position yet. I'm just having fun diagnosing
Happy for you Rich.
When you're in an environment where you are appreciated, life is more fulfilling.
Again Congrats !!
Yep, it's always the little things that get ya👍 be blessed Rich 👊

Powers and grounds, first step on the road to success. Well done.
Nice easy diag and repair. Nicely done, Rich.
Rich, another terrific common sense repair. Well Done & God Bless, TMP from N.J.
Grounding works good for us humans.
Rich doing what Rich loves to do

Good call, as always, Rich. That looks like a pretty cool shop :)
Good seeing ya happy bro😎💪🏽🤠
I'm sure it's satisfying to be able to troubleshoot and repair without ordering parts and extensive wrenching.
Wish we had more Techs like this in the Country.
Man your awesome I needed that win right on time brother. If u know Santa fes or Jaguar u could be my hero. Lol thanks again.
Gotta love those u codes
Awesome work. That’s why they pay you the big bucks!

Thank you for the video! Loose ground wire was causing lights to go out.
Thanks! Saved me way more money on mechanical bills!
Tyvm
I found this video very helpful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Dude! Thanks.. my ground wasn't connect... life saver
Glad I could help!
My man's said that lmfao. Stay llave my friends.
Always check your grounds

Good find!!!
Good tech out Rich
Thank you it works I Experienced the same problem and your video helps thank you again
Easy job for Ford boss
I would’ve tapped that broken screw out, and put the new one in its place. If that hitch has to come out for any reason (mine was replaced because someone rear ended me) they might overlook that ground wire. Then it gets ripped completely off.
Nice one!
I love this type of work also. Be well.
Do you know is a 2018 ford f 150 3.5l has a chmsl wire in the back of the truck you can wire a truck cap light too?
I have no idea
@@FordBossMe okay thanks. I heard the super duty’s have it didn’t know if the f-150’s did
@@scott5799 okay thank you very much sir
Question for you boss I got a 2017 f150 5.0 that needs an engine my local dealer says it’s on a backorder with no eta. I know you did a video on this problem a while back, just in your opinion how long you realistically think it’s gonna be till I see an engine? Thanks boss
I mean it could literally be months upon months to up to a year
Solved my problem. Thank you so much!
You're welcome!

better roll around on a chair just for the videos--you know the comp board is going to use these videos against you.

Will this work on a 2012?
Well, that one had both lights mine the left has no brake or turn but has running lights
Well you may have a bulb problem or a bulb socket problem or a connection issue but sometimes whenever you fix the problem you need to clear codes because it will set a code sometimes in the body control module and it will shut down the circuit
@@FordBossMe yeah, I've replaced the bulbs and like I say they work for my running lights no problem just turn signal and brake lights don't work, but only on the left side. The front works the mirrors work, but not the rear brake in signal.
