I disagree with your analysis on one point: after passing though the ignition switch, the power does go back under the hood. So an under hood problem can blow the fuse (if the car is on).
Yes, you are correct! I was mistaken. The short could have come from anywhere after the ignition switch. Thank you for pointing this out!
The key lock actuator was just very suspect because it would intermittently not release the key, even before the fuse blew.
@@ADVANCEDLEVELAUTOwill this also cause THEFT MODE to engage?
Yes will it? Because I'm having this problem but what's weird is that I'll be driving then anty theft will turn on, my gauges will stop working well just the gas one and temperature then ac will stop working but still drives normal so it's pretty annoying
2004 CTS 3.6 no power to the ECM fuse can you help
This man is: Superman. The way he dissects wiring diagrams looks sooo simple and easy.
thanks for the shout out
Wiring isn't as hard as it looks when you look at the diagrams
An amp clamp to monitor current draw may have helped. The key release solenoid is super suspect, especially since that was a complaint before the fuse blew. Would be cool to see a current ramp of the suspect solenoid in action!
You saved me a bunch of money!!!! I had the exact same problem. The fuse was blown and I'm back on the road. Water from a sun roof leak blew the fuse. It's all dried out and working good.
Educational, I’m a commercial electrician so I understand the wiring it’s just locating the actual diagram. I see you use Alldata so I’m thinking I should purchase Alldata dyi. I binged watched your channel since I came across it. Thank you for everything you do.
A Chilton or Haynes manual is handy too
Good stuff. I enjoy your troubleshooting processes. I feel pretty experienced myself, but I learn a thing or two from your videos. The diagram walkthroughs are excellent.
This guy as usual knows what he is doing. He is a very competent mechanic & A great teacher. Love Eric's videos. Must be something with Eric & cars on TH-cam....
Scam
Wonderful video I do appreciate your work you do for us believe it or not when you fix a vehicle there you’re actually showing some of us on what to do on our cars and trucks so with that in mind thank you so much again God bless you and your family and friends keep making these videos they’re very educational. It’s like sesame street for adults ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ✝️✝️✝️
Yes indeed.
Esto es lo que yo llamo un análisis COMPLETISIMO, amigo. Recibe un cordial saludo desde Tijuana México.👍👍👍
Viva México
Thank you for the wireing diagram lesson. Keep them up. It made sense when u taught it.
That's a pretty cool diagnosis. I don't know a ton about electrical issues, but I wonder if that key lock solenoid could of had an internal short, or enough resistance to blow that fuse?
Thanks for the video.
Anyway you could just do a few videos on automotive electrical diagram reading?? That’s definitely my weakness but is getting better watching your videos.
Thank you foe the incredibly detailed tutorial for this. I learned so much about the issue that I'm facing with my 2007 CTS. I have a whole nee approach to troubleshooting now. I'm grateful. 👍🏽
Thank dude I almost junked my cts and I gotta give you props on doing a follow up and telling us how it is "in layman's terms"
*That ANCEL tester appeared to have the functions of several devices,*
*all included into one small unit. Amazing capability.*
Thanks for the very clear explanations, others assume I know what a can is.
Scam
Love from Pakistan I love the way you explain every little thing thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Eric one thing you might consider when working with blown fuse circuits is the use of a clamp on ammeter. The circuit should be running near 50% or less of the rated fuse. If you see it running 90% or so, something is failing and with time will blow the fuse.
Do you know about not having heat in the car cause its blowing cold? And its a cts 05 170k-180k what maintenance do i do?? I want to give it the dealeship but its not gon b worth shi 😩 and then also i keep hearing a thump sound everytime i switch from park to drive.. its making the sound in the trunk area
@@Niqu33n Sounds like you have several issues going on. Don't go to a Dealership for repairs. Try to find an small Honest shop. They show give you advice on what repairs are worth fixing. Sometimes cars become Beyond Economical Repair.
Just saved my hindparts tonight with this 😅
Love your videos, very informative and helpful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
You are a frickin good mechanic my friend!!! Thank you for showing us that....
Sorry for off topic comment
I am dealing with similar situation you showed in the older video about leaking fuel pressure regulator in 01 Toyota Highlander.
I am working on 05 Rav-4 that has been sitting for almost 2 years
Since I don't have fuel pressure gauge I will observe the fuel pulsation damper screw; under pressure it should stick out.
You can also prime the fuel line by installing jumper across the circuit opening relay socket (large spades)
Turning the key to on will activate the gas pump , the pressure should build up in 3 seconds.
The prime system is used on Toyotas equipped with with MAP sensor (98to 99 Corolla , and 92 to 2001 Camry 4 cylinder)
Wish me luck! Thanks for your videos!
The LTFTs are matching one to one!
BEST!!
Thanks we narrowed it down to that but couldn't find those fuse boxes but thanks to your video now we can! Thanks!
ERIC, AWESOME information and approach as always learning from he best thanks for sharing brother.
i didnt even need this vehicle and watched the whole segment. Awesome
I'm a simple man. I saw Eric. I pressed Like.
Thanks for the support!
@@ADVANCEDLEVELAUTO you've made the big time now you have scammers in your comment section
I freaking love you! My car is doing exactly what this one is doing.. I am going to check the fuses before I take it to someone else! The key being stuck in on position was causing the battery to die.. but I believe the battery was bad from the beginning…
Thank you! Same problem, you saved me the headache ✌️
Thank u homie my car wouldn’t start key kept getting stuck saw ur video popped out that fuse under seat and yup it was bad replaced fuse started right up
I noticed the number 10 on the fuse you replaced was upside down in relation to the 2 fuses right next to it. That makes me think maybe that fuse had been replaced because it was blown before or at least removed and replaced for some reason. Just an observance.
The two fuses underneath it also appeared to have burn marks on them.
You make it look easy
Eric another excellent informative video. Thank You for sharing Artie 😊
Wow you are like super smart
Wish you was closer to help me fix my Dodge Caliber
Nice work - The locations and amount of fuses is nuts. The causes are just too numerous.
Man ! What did GM do to us ? Most mechanics would be lost, just for a simple fuse. This is probably a $1000.00 dealer bill. Thanx for this as I'm always trying to be aware of my CTS 👍👍👍
I was able to follow you on this one. I saw the nesting stuff under the hood and thought rodent damage too. a bad lock actuator sounds like the culprit to me since it had power but still would not release the key. That one arc inside the actuator burned the short in the clear but damaged the mechanism. id carefully take it apart and see if there is any burn marks.
Super job!!
glad you got it fixed your amazing at what you do this is why i want to be a mechanic my self
It's a blessing and a curse I tend to neglect or take shortcuts on my own stuff because after a long week of doing customers vehicles I don't want to spend my weekend working on mine
Man educational or entertaining are understatement, you’re awesome man. I wish I have the talent like yours. Thumbs up.
Best repair method anyway. Used parts will save your tail most of the time and the best part usually is, the part is OEM. Very legitimate method for diag, using the wire diagrams to know the path of the powers. All is well. His shop should recommend a good cleaning of the leaves etc. and advise his customer to avoid parking under those trees if they can.
FYI...I bought a Topdon battery tester 2 years back and tested my 850 CCA battery that was 6 years old and still starting the engine just fine. It said...replace battery. I went down to my local battery sales mom and pop shop and they used an older battery tester which gave it a pass. I put the Topdon on another car I have with a newer battery and it passed. Here we are 2 years later and an 8 1/2 year old battery that keeps failing the Topdon test yet the darn thing still starts the 89 GMC Suburban as usual. Sometimes, you have to wonder if the newer "computer chip" designed battery testers are any better than using an analog load test meter.
Beautiful commentary
Love your videos man, I learn something every time. From Trinidad and Tobago
you need a teaching position at some tech school. You are awesome.
Thanks!!!! You saved me a bill. A fan to the end. Thanks again.
So, the defective solenoid likely either shorted, or drew too much current. Great diag. Thanks.
I am wondering Who was the brilliant person designing that system of fuse boxes benefit the seats and with so poor cable management. Great video. Thanks 👍
Scam
@@davidwoermansr scam?
@@rafaeltorovip the telegram me you won a prize scammer commented reporting must've finally worked
Thank you brother
Your legit. This is a very hard problem
very well said good video
man, you are very professional, congrats!
05 cts no problems until I got new battery parking lights & headlights went wacky coming on by themselves then antitheft came on since then only speedometer works car still runs help 😂 also I use the hole to release key! Thanks
Eric! Where you been bro! I wake up everyday looking to see a red dot by your channel! I’ve been waiting for a new release for weeks but I know you’re busy and I hope all is well! Thanks for another learning lesson!
I’ve just been busy with work. Thanks for being patient!
@@ADVANCEDLEVELAUTO Same here brother I know the feeling! I’m just not as fast as you are with my diagnosis skills! I really appreciate all your efforts!
Another great video. Always educational. Love how you explain!
Great video
Awesome seeing you again Eric! Great job!
anyone else finds this awesome ? Sweet vid bro , keep'em comin' A L A and S M A , and PHAD , 3 of my faves
Great information thank u
Awesome video. Thorough and informative.
Ur the best always
I also noticed lights and other things that are running off the mains. So maybe a large current draw caused problems when they tried starting. This would have blown a fuse.
Heated seats, lights, radio, hvac. All this running on dead batteries would have definitely caused a hard surge enough to blow a fuse.
Comfortability vs Just providing more then enough power when starting could help a issue like this.
Damnnmm bro. You're good. Really good. 👍 Nice job. Now I actually know how to read a circuit diagram. Thanks bro.
Great video!!!
Good man. Terrific analysis and explanations.
Anyone know if you can squirt wires with brake clean without issue? Kid spilled oil all over the ABS module connection.
I have many times with no issues 👍
Love your videos. You explain everything and how things work. Great job
another great no nonsense video, thanks.
MY man!!!🙌🙏🏻
Hi, I wonder if the 2007 SRX also has a key release button hidden underneath the steering wheel? I took a quick look at it and see maybe 3 or 4 little circular areas but didn't want to poke around until I could locate the correct place to look. I tried looking at owners manuals on line, but of course, there is no mention of that little secret in the manual. Any advise you can give me would be greatly appreciated. The guy that I took the car to said that we start at $150.00 just for them to test it, and then starting at $300.00+ if the ignition needs to be replaced at a minimum. He did not think it would be a fuse! So, for the time being, if I could at least free the key from the ignition so that I do not drain my battery or cause any other damage, that would be helpful. TIA
Thanks Eric, good video and follow up.
Good job thanks
Great video - please keep them coming!!!
Good diagnosis and fix.
Good video
Hi. What do you use for a wiring diagrams? Is it all data, or something else?
When you test the fuse for power, the ignition switch should be in on position?
And the power probe? Connected to ground or power?
Excellent job 👍👍👍
Is the srx have the fuses box on the back?
Thanks!
I have run across this same issue with fuses blown. I have come down to the conclusion that if there was no short to ground then it was just a bad fuse
Great job and thanks for the videos
I feel like someone was into that wiring before you. It looked like maybe it had a loom and someone was fishing for your short. Hard to believe the factory would leave wiring all exposed like that even inside the car but it is GM afterall.😊
Scannerdanner level!!
Which scan tool do you preferably use?? I'm looking into getting a scan tool in the near future???
Scam
I think this will lead me to getting the key out of my Aveo!
brilliant
Awesome.
Nice job brother!
Hello Eric
I hope you are doing good
I usually wait for your videos to watch
I have a car Honda Accord 2008
I'm getting a code p0011
I tried clearing the code,after a few drives again it comes again
I replaced the vtc solenoid it didn't help and check the timing it is right
What could be the problem
The vtc actuator?
I wish you could post more often, I understand you’re busy though.
Do you think the bad key lock actuator could have popped the fuse?
Yes, I think the actuator may have caused the fuse to blow. Thanks for watching!
Where do you usually bring wiring diagram for any automotive electrical components!?
which site can i use to download electrical diagrams for cars?
How do you get those wiring diagrams?? ALLDATA?
Do you know about not having heat in the car cause its blowing cold? And its a cts 05 170k-180k what maintenance do i do?? I want to give it the dealeship but its not gon b worth shi 😩 and then also i keep hearing a thump sound everytime i switch from park to drive.. its making the sound in the trunk area
hello , like to ask a question , can the think tool bi - directional work on older as year 2000 , far as engine miss fires , and some modules , or full scan ,tests not like newer cars, older model gmc safari , 2002 , chevy tahoe 2003 ? thank you for your time .
Scam
Could the key lock (solenoid) failing cause a short to blow fuse?
Examine old part?
Man I've been witching your videos for a while. I had this problem last year after 1,000 job from a mechanic told me that it was the ecu. Now I'm wondering if it was just this.
Hey i have a car that shakes like crazy. Im also located in the houston area. I hope you can take a look at it
great!!!
It’s the ecm computer ! It controls everything , mines was doing that replaced the ecm and it never got stuck or never glitched again
