GMC Terrain wipers not working and TPMS repair and somebody "fixed" it after a fender bender

- Today I will take you along as I repair one of my previous rebuilds. It is a 2015 GMC Terrain Denali. The wipers are not working and the TPMS light is on. I'll show you a cheap and even free way to get the wipers working. It also had a run in with another car and someone else fixed it and didn't do the best work so we will have a look at that as well. The wipers and TPMS for that matter will be the same for any 2010-2017 GMC terrain or Chevrolet Equinox.

Lost it at "ready to crash into something else" 🤣
Really like these mechanical issue videos interspersed with your Friday "Boring Builds". Always informative and interesting to watch.
It's not Friday... but then wasn't a boring build... I like seeing your old projects come back for service. Thanks for this.
What's better than a vehcor boring build Friday video? A vehcor Tuesday repair video.Good info about that wiper recall. I'll keep that info in my database.
You're a life saver! Wiper stopped working in the middle of a rainstorm. Got it home...followed you step by step....and we are back in business. Which is good because it's supposed to rain for another week. Thank you!
I had an engineer from an unnamed manufacturer say they switched to plastic ball cups for when idiots try and scrape ice off thier windshield. But they are of course frozen in place and the motor binding the transmission breaks more stuff than the plastic cup.
wow that body repair is insane. It actually looks worse than the accident.
Old wiper assemblies had metal bushes and clips. They lasted the life of the vehicle. Here we have another case of the good stuff being replaced by plastic, which is slowly taking over vehicle parts. Next thing, the entire vehicle (other than mechanical parts) will be plastic, probably 3D printed on a giant 3D printer.
already happening, plastic oil pans, plastic intakes (for decades)
Back when vehicles barely lasted 100k miles ...
@@petersmith7140 Just saw this plastic car on Arthur Tussik's channel th-cam.com/video/mZtwauZjncI/w-d-xo.html
@@arealsourapple Yeah, The wipers still worked for several engine rebuilds.
@@BrucePierson Yeah, id much rather my engine fail than my wipers
Much like the TSB for my headlight relay on my 2006 TBSS - my time is worth more than $30 and an awesome experience at the dealer - I'll just swap it out myself.
Did the same on my 06 Envoy Denali a couple years ago. Stupid easy, and should last another 15 years when this one dies again.
Hey it's not Friday! thanks for the video Scott always good to learn how to do those types of repairs.
Nice GMC😊 good luck 😊
Bonus day! Thank you Scott. See you in the next installment.
I appreciated see you use the greatest workbench there is. A truck tailgate
Love all your comments…..Jack of all trades….
So glad I was sitting down when you cleared those leaves off. Shocks like that aren't good for someone my age. 🥴
*Thank You* for the video Scott. Excellent as always. 👍
My wife had that Wiper fracture happen during a heavy downpour, she was going 60mph on an interstate. Scary stuff. had it fixed before we finally got the recall notice for it.
Ready to get back on the road and crash into something else. 😂 🤪lmao. Nice ending!
Holy bleep you are up to 191,000 subscribers ...all your work pays off
Brilliant Scott, even better you left leaves on top of the engine
Thanks for the good tips ol tireman Scott 👍
Thanks for the laughs and chuckles.
Really enjoying your channel! Best produced and informative of all that I've seen.
When it comes to GM and recalls they are actually pretty good.
My mother-in-law had a 2000 Grand Am, she got a recall notice in I think 2018, but the car was scrapped in 2017 after the engine blew up with over 500,000 km on it, but even though the 3.8 was blown and knocking it still ran.
Thats a very special car if it had a 3.8 in it. Prob 1 of 1 built for a 2000 Grand Am. '
Thanks for the Tuesday surprise!
How often you get to repair or even see your old builds? With the ammount and quality you do, I'd assume you see them quite often for small fixes as some buyers might be returning customers?
About 50% of my buyers become regular customers. The number has gone down since I sell cars nationwide now.
That was a good little project to show your viewers.repeat customer never can tell when they might want to get another car.good video.keep it up 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Scott, I wish you were closer! When are you moving to Florida? LOL
Thanks for the mid week video🤗😎🤗😎
If you send me the same car to fix the same issue I would start by taking the back seat out. Do not ask me why since I have no idea of how to repair cars. Nice video Scott. 👍
Still more progress than some of the “experts” will ever make! 😂 You have to start somewhere!
Back seat comes out so you can weld😉
So the other day I was taking the broken pieces of my Ranger and throwing em "in the pile"! Very therapeutic.
Bonus mid-week video. Thanks.
"Here's your problem lady" (shout out to Eric O)
Makes it look easy. I appreciate the diverse content
Great video Scott!
I was part of the big G-body recall back in the late 80s early 90s…. Rear backing plates were the culprits….. all you had to do was set up an appointment, show up with a new set of rear shoes and General Motors did the rest🎉…. Too bad they didn’t recall the rear frame rails and body mounts…
Thanks for the video Scott!
That was sure some rubbish body repair work. If I was the customer I wouldn't have accepted a job like that. Kind of gets the trade a bad name. Great content as always, thanks for sharing 👍
Yeah, the retaining nut fell off mine, at 1 in the morning while it was raining. Thank goodness for late night truck stops with lots of overhang and very little business that time of day
The Eric O reference 😂🔥🔥
Love the wiper hammer.But ,a Tonya Harding would be better.
But you did CLEAN the cowl...

@@vehcor it's not that bad ....look at it like this.... all those lost tools can be found
A nice tidy Scotts GM emporium
Saving countless dollars on detergent cause of nasty floors
Its not about OCD
It's about making your shop more efficient than and beating the BIG FAT CAT SHOPS AT THEIR OWN GAME!!!
TIME FOR A REVOLUTION...AND CLEAN AIN'T A WEAKNESS....ITS A WEAPON
Awesome thanks for your Time.
That Scott guy would probably give you an empty pizza box! 😂
So who do I talk to about the pizza? 😂
Very good hands
Good Job Indiana Jones on that schrader valve not flyin off to BFE from the escaping air blast there..🎃
I am barely a diy'er so I do what I can and usually takes me twice as long and I waste a good bit of money. I had the same wiper issue on my wife's 2016 Equinox LTZ. I went to the dealer, explained the issue and purchased the $150 wiper assembly. They never mentioned a recall but the car is fixed. 200,000 miles and still going.
So, doing a little house cleaning around my desk today and what do I find? A recall notice for my 2015 Equinox for ball joint defect in the wiper module that" could result in the separation of one or more ball joints from their sockets during wiper operation." Like their air bag recalls there's no parts at this time for the fix.
That was very interesting.👍👍
As your slogan says "Drive, Crash, Fix, Repeat". LOL
Such wisdom
Another great fix. Bad body work, not you of course. Somebody's blind doing body work.
So Scott's Emporium can take it down to the dealer👍
I think I would trust that Scott guy!
By the way thanks for the bonus video !
The jabs to all the experts makes me come back a day or two later just for the comments. 😂😂😂😂
Would be nice to see that filler out of the door I don't think they pulled it at all
I wanna work for this guy I miss doing this everyday. The shops around me are all shity
Filler all the way to the door edge. Always a classic move. Just leave the runs in the clear coat. Nobody will notice... it's clear.
Please tell us how can we compensate for 20 or 30 degrees temp. fluctuation, they say cold, then tire temp. Increases thru out the day,as much as 30 f, what do we do/ set at ??? Thank you enjoy the tips but most of all the comments u ad.
The wiper hammer? Possibly, but the hammer of choice should be the tailgate hammer, as you were working atop the tailgate.
Do they have a Left-Hand version of the Wiper Arm Removal Tool? If so, how much? 😁😁
They do but mine is very inaccurate so I do not recommend them. lol
Damn, it's Friday already?? Yikes... Those body lines and bondo pits... I remember my first bondo job....
Everything is a hammer! Who are these people in the comments who think otherwise!? Maniacs!
Some viewers watch you tube videos to help them sleep but clean freaks watch Scott in order NOT to sleep. Very interesting. That bondo fix is abhorrent.
Great Job!! Thank You... :-)
I thought you were kidding.....you actually do have an Amazon store.
Nice to see a surprise Vehcor video on a Tuesday. Maybe you were running low on hater's tears and needed to replenish? What happened to Mr. Spotty? Did you "accidentally" weld him in between 2 body panels? Just wondering.
Wait, what??? It’s not Friday. Or is it? Thanks for the extra video Scotty. Peace
I have a '14 Equinox and I am STILL waiting for the parts. Received the recall notice in May. Way to go GM.
Sing the jingle with me: "Get that GREAT GM feeling.. With genuine GM parts!"
How many vehicle manufacturer do you know that are waiting for parts these days? Try getting parts for a Ford dodge Nissan Toyota Kenworth trucks peterbuilt trucks frieghterliner and so on. It's not only one company its all of them.
You must shop at harbor freight where every tool becomes a hammer at some point.
Tool? I have never known an object that wasn’t a hammer! 😂
I am a jack wagon, but it was a 6mm bolt with a 10mm head. I can't help myself.
I wouldn't use the aftermarket transmission. I'd buy the GM transmission link kit if you're gonna buy something.
Can we get a tour of the Emporium?
I wonder how big that "pile" is getting? Do you have a taking out the garbage gnome,Scott?
Wow.. we got a Scott mid week.. how bout them apples.
There's your problem lady. Wes says that's my catch phrase. Click too.
Wow check it out Scott is doing mechanical repair videos now. Sweeeeet
even if it's shaped like a brick... it still looks better than that Lexus that found it's way on to the channel
"There's your problem lady"
Is it Friday already?
No he will post extra videos
Closer than yesterday! 🥇
Those doors are nasty.
Metric (non-freedom)🙂 fasteners are generally referred to by thread diameter, rather than head size.
10mm head is generally an M6.
Good video and sarcasm as usual ☺️👍
eric o from sma say every tool has a hammer side
Smart man!
@@vehcor yes very i bet he would like your brake job hammer i can't find that on your web shop
In the interest of high quality work, the valve stem should have been changed as well. They are cheap insurance against a leaky valve stem and the whole assembly can be screwed together and pulled into place eliminating the chance of dropping the tiny screw in the tire. We also use small bolt cutters to cut off the sensor before pulling out the old stem. No lost T10 bits in Narnia that way.
What the heck, it's not "Boring Build Friday"!?
is that a Vident code scanner?
I thought I recognised this build.
🥉 I had that one for a while. Great winter car!
Simple fix for wipers:
1. When it rains put pizza girl on hold and let her operate them manually . ( seeing as how she meverbrings you pizza )
2. Avoid going out on rainy days .
3. Trade it in .
I know you probably have updated technology. But Mr. Spotty should still be able to keep his job or stay with the company. Even if in a managerial observer position.
Scott - you don't have any tire/wheel/TPMS gnomes? Life is rough in the "land of corruption and rust."
Holy shit, that’s some good body work. 🤦🏽
The TMPS system on that car is a little more informative than the Mini Cooper. It will only tell you the pressures if you are moving.
Mustang Mustang Mustang Mustang
How long do TPMS sensors last? My car is 18 years old soon to be 19 and I've never had to replace any of them.
Hummm. They have a battery which has a limited lifetime. Depending on where you went when your tires were replaced the batteries were replaced
@@Dog.soldier1950 Maybe my car doesn't have batteries? I can tell you that it's not a smart TPMS system because it doesn't indicate the pressure for each tire or which tire is low. It just illuminates a light in the instrument cluster and beeps. If all four tires are low it will beep 4 times.
I have a 2006 mine hasn’t worked in 2yrs never worried about it.
14:20 All the tires are low, they are only at 37%, you really need to fill them to 100%, SMH. At least you got the oil full to 100%.
Yeah. It's Friday
❤️
haha the clean freak are screaming there lungs....
That repair… damn………
Didn't last long being pretty! Now she's a full on battle cruiser! Could of brought it to the shop that did the door repair... they could of fixed those pesky wipers with a coat hanger! 😂 Scott, if my vehicle looked like that after a repair, I would not accept the repair. Is there an easy way for a consumer to determine if a shop does good work other than looking at the vehicles in the shop they've worked on? I've not had much body work thankfully, but what I have had isn't great. I feel like it's customer beware.
👍👍👍👍👍
