Hi
So... two weeks later, the Smart Fortwo is back...
Not engaging gears, and the same faults and symptoms...
And nearly caught me again... as was not acting when I was ready to start diagnosing...
Watch the first video on this car, so makes sense when you watch this one...

Hope you enjoy the video.

Amazing, great plan of attack👍
It only comes with experience😉
Bro plz do some videos on BMW CAS, DME, DDE calibration & programming or if the modules have been replaced with a used ones (they're nightmares), your videos will help a lot of people facing problems with these cars, although scanners can do it but there's no info on how to perform these repairs step by step👍

Stay Safe❤
Will do my best...

Hi ..new friend here.. you are good in diesel diagnostics & soldering.. keep it up..
Thanks!

Great find buddy👌👍
Thank you!
👍👍👍
Thank you for another great video!!!

That's really poor electrical design, a simple short on a seatbelt buckle can bring the whole car to a halt! 😬 Should've been fused on something less essential.
Agree...
👍👍👍
Ya it's a cheap Mercedes why would you buy a smart car when you could buy a micra or a golf or a up which are lovely cars and build the last and the same size
No.It should be designed to work not on 12v but on ground
@@mykedindeal
Agree... but they did not designed it that way...
👍👍👍
Great Fix!
I think it wasn’t easy to find it because from the wiring diagram the feed line stops
at the airbag control unit and did not explicitly shows that it also feed the belt switch, is it?
Good job finding that, i currently diagnosing a weird transmission problem, the first two gears will jerk then skip to third after about ten seconds, after i can shift 3-4-5 or 5-4-3 just fine but will refuse to go to second or first gear unless i shut the engine off then shift manually, adjusted and greased the clutch actuator but still the same, these car have fragile electronic
Perhaps the gear actuators?
👍👍👍
Brilliant as usual!
😊
Thanks!
👍👍👍
Hi. nice always good information
Thanks!
👍👍👍
Great finding
Thanks!
👍👍👍
That's finally done.
Its good to use best quality fues to make sure they do what they r made to do.😜😜
👍👍
Absolutely!

great job!

08 smart 451, I live in Central london and drove to a Smart Geek in Cheltenham (220 mile round trip) who removed the passenger seat took out the ECU put it on a computer and reset it with the Mercedes upgrade, £100.00. Flew all the way home, car never felt so good. Can't give the guys contact details utube would consider it advertising but I am sure you can find it.
That must have been a completely different problem than the one on this car...
👍👍👍
great info
Thanks!
👍👍👍
As usual, another excellent German design feature.
😊
Indeed...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Nice job, shows the importance of having good detailed wiring diagrams. Why don’t you get some fuse savers then will not be wasting good fuses. 👍
Yes it does...
I have resettable fuses now... didn't have them at the time...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
One day, I ran into a similar problem. In exchange for a native fuse, I used a standard 10 amp circuit breaker from a home electrical network.
👍👍👍

Hi. Can you help me. I have fabia mk1. i have remonte control in key. I can only open the doors. There is no reaction on close button. I took my second key and try to close but it is the same. Both keys only open the doors but not close. What could happened?
I was very unhappy with your previous video about this, and said so in the comments. Very pleased that you've now fixed it.
But you see now what I mean?
I could have started to dismantle the car... looking at the wires to the ABS, or to the Gearbox, to the Airbag... for nothing...
At least this way, I had a bit more "info" and "how it happens" to work with...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs I could see what you meant in the last video and I'm sure you understood my comments. If you had read the wiring diagrams last time, you'd have got it right first time.
@@LMAutoRepairs That was me😂,under the car looking at the abs wiring and the gearbox/clutch wiring. Wiggled lots of wires but the fuse never blow.
@@seankirby2580
I see what you mean...
Just don't agree that is that simple all the time...
We all overlook things, and don't always approach things the same way...
👍👍👍
@@mdsymonds75
That's what I tried to avoid the first time... and glad I did it...😋
Great Video, and to think Mercedes tech will tell you to change clutch, load updated software, and maybe even change actuator all while charging like a wounded beast, this could easily cost 2k with them.
🤔
Didn't looked at it that way...lol
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Top man!

Have the same problem with my smart car but its a smart forfour how do i locate the fuse
WoW Amazing 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Hello there,! Can you help me? The panel of my smart 451 keeps blinking after start. Car all operational but after starting the panle info goes on and off. Any hints or sugestions? Can send you a video if you wish! Thanks for your time
Check what voltage your alternator is outputting... might be nothing, but just popped up i to my head...
If all good, check voltage supply to the cluster... if is also missing...
Hope that helps...
Thank you for watching!
Clever guy..

Thanks!

Nice find. Could of had you chasing your tail there.
Indeed it could...

Hi have the same car with the same issue. Are you anywhere near northwest London. Can you do the repair?!
I am quite far... sorry...
Thank you for watching!
Can’t beat a bit of luck with those faults
As well... lol
Thank you for watching!
My smart engage the gear but the car dont drive do you know what could be?
Clutch?
👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs but i hear if the clutch is bad and the car is cold you can still drive 10 15 minuts until goes bad my doesn’t move even if the car is cold.
Each case can be different...
If is engaging the gears, and does not drive, either clutch, clutch actuator, gearbox or drive shafts...
Inspect... and if all visually good on the outside, I would go with the more obvious... the clutch...
That said, scanning the car and look at some live data, should help you a bit as well...
👍👍👍
It takes a brave man to rock a pink t shirt...

Ca. U help with a 2008 that now does not go past 2nd gear. Kicks tranny into neutral need help desperately
Any codes?
👍👍👍
P1901
Hi
Difficult to tell based just on the code, some live data analysis, and experiencing the problem, is of a lot of help...
That said, I would say that either the clutch is worn, or the clutch actuator... but again, difficult to say...
@@LMAutoRepairs car starts to drive the bucks and flashes N the flashes 3 lines plus abs system not reading 2 rear wheels after having new abs sensors and reluctor rings
No way... Without wiring diagram it couldn't be possible to find the issue
Would be definitely difficult...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
What's that bad clunking/knocking sound
Pass...
Thank you for watching!
@@LMAutoRepairs ok I think he's more than a gearbox to worry about
Possibly...
Sounds like the engineers at Smart, aren't....
