salt water damages stuff beyond repair dont consider salt water cars . I took alot courses and know for fact that water does to my computer or any electronic forget it not worth your time
Sam needs to hire someone who edits these videos, pump them out quick and and on to the next, these projects take way too long to get to us, not complaining but Sam’s channel has so much more potential if he pushes content properly
Sam, that "fuse box" you've replaced is called a CEM and it's programmed to each Volvo that it comes from, they're a nightmare to crack but using VDash and Vida, you can crack the PIN and re-program it.
All your content is great, Sam, but I'm really interested in this project. I'm hooked and the only thing that stinks is how long we have to wait between episodes. Keep up the good work!
good job Sam ,I've got a tip when I'm working on flood cars,I use a Batt Terminal Cleaner It does a great job of neutralizing the green Crustys just pour it into a pump spray bottle and spray ,it works great.
*Clean corroded connectors and plugs with soak in salt/vinegar slurry, then eutralize with water/baking soda and toothbrush.* *I use soaked paper towels and wrap connector in saran for five minutes.*
If you ever have to use that seat motor trick again, see if you can get a drill chuck around the motor shaft. Then you can get the drill to spend the motor instead of your hand doing it for 15 plus minutes. Usually, you probably won't be able to fit a drill, but you could get one of those flexible extensions for a drill and get a small chuck on the shaft that way. Even a flexible extension on a Dremel meant to hold drill bits for example.
All I could think of was taking a pressure washer and some anti corrosive/salt cleaning chemicals and just powerwashing the interior and electronics. After removing the carpet and seats of course haha, probably has some drain plugs you can take out so would drain. Would make working on it a lot more better.
Whoooo what an epic ending! This is the best collaboration, don’t call Rich here, he just bragging and not helping, not mentioning to finish at all. Rattarosa is the man!
Saltwater cars... you guys crack me up! Its bad enough on the outboards I restore... and those are designed from the ground up to be used there, but this is just hilarious. Hope you got it really cheap!
Hey Sam , Just experiencing the same issue. no power for me as well , removed the Bcm on F-pace its destroyed with salt water. One possible solution that MAY work looks as follows. If you still have the dedicated bcm , you can try to send it out to the electronics board repair shop and try to swap memory module from original bcm to the new one. If the memory part is not damaged , you may get lucky and run the car with no problems. Regards from Georgia . Really looking forward for this project.
@00:26, is it possible to remediate, repair and replace severe salt water intruded electronics? I'm Retired US Navy Aviation Electronics Technician, a chunk of my time was addressing salt water related corrosion on and in avionics systems. The #1 thing that can be done to mitigate salt water damage? Immediate flushing the area and electronics with fresh water, if able remove the electronics boxes, remove any batteries on the boards or in the boxes before hand and toss those batteries and then literally dunk the electronics and electricals in fresh water, open the boxes, dunk the boxes/boards/panels several times, agitate the water, if the water gets cloudy or just use constant flow of water (fill at the top, drain from the bottom because salt water is heavier than fresh), use a plastic soft bristle tooth brush and... I think the old NA01-16-540 US Navy Avionics Corrosion Control Manual is on the internet someplace. That tome is filled with information on how we do that job.
On one other of these car repair channels, the guy had similar issues to Sam. This chap washed all his electronics with Ionized water and only had to replace one computer. This fellow I think had previously worked making computer circuit boards and they were always washed with Ionized water after manufacture to remove all the soldering flux and corrosion they can cause.
Sam--you truly have an inhuman amount of patience AND optimism to take on these projects! We may complain about how long it takes for you to release content but nobody is as willing to take the risks associated with potential diamonds in the rough, as you. Who says too much of a good thing can't kill you?! Godspeed and good luck on this and all of your projects.
It is not a surprise that you found Ford and Volvo parts in the Aston. Ford used to own the Jag, Volvo, and Aston back in the 2000's. When I was an intern at Ford Global Purchase, Ford sourced their parts to be interchangeable in their product lines (economies of scale to push the parts price down). Even if the genuine parts are not available from Ford, you might be able to find an after-market compatible part. Good luck, Sam, and looking forward to the next video.
Some very innovative techniques in this video. Glad to see you don’t give up. Awesome you got friends to help you as well. I’m usually in the garage alone cussing at TH-cam for making it look so easy.
To get rid of the salt, you want clean water, not contact cleaner. Seriously, salt is WATER SOLUBLE not oil soluble! Wash it out in clean fresh water again and again until the salt is gone, then use WD40 and contact cleaner. Just hose it all out, then go to town.
I'm following this Aston Martin story. Why can't you buy a ecu and matching paired key from a wrecked db9 from a salvage yard. Since the issue is programing?
Instead of turning the motor by hand, you could have done it with your small hand drill with a socket near to shaft size and either pack it out and wedge it, or use a Blutak type product just to tack it temporarily.
Hey Sam great video,,, take a wide rubber elastic slide it over the shaft of the electric motor and over the chuck of your battery powered drill add tension and the electric motor should spin,,, just like a serpentine belt spinning all the pulleys on your engine.....
Sam, just about every one of your picks is the best and most relatable on the internet. Glad to see Scott return and hopefully turn this AM around! Your too close to the finish line on too many cars! LoL.... BTW~ whats that Mercedes 'Black' behind the AM?
I love that even after not being able to fix the flooded Viper, Sam is ALL IN to give it another go with a flooded Aston. Man, I know the feeling of excitement and enthusiasm to want to buy the next project and hopefully have it turn out great! SO many beautiful flood cars that seem like they have great potential. Some actually run and drive but have a certificate of destruction. I was really excited about that $250k 2019 GT3 RS flood car that just sold for $63k! So tempting but like Sam said, it could need an entire new power train. That's quite the gamble but SO tempting! Tavarish just couldn't resist buying that P1 and so far NOBODY has told him he got a killer deal. But, maybe it will end up as a killer deal. I hope this car ends up as a killer deal for Sam. Great content, Sam! Keep inspiring me NOT to buy a flood car!😁
@Alex TypeS You are correct. Another guy purchased the Viper but Sam definitely learned how challenging these flood cars can be. Lots of these flood cars get purchased by hopeful buyers then 6 months later they end up back at copart... still not running!
You have to understand pal, that after 50 odd years of working & restoring, sometimes expensive motor vehicles, that once salt water has ingressed the electrical components , the car is totalled!
for future reference, Metal Rescue would clean those connectors, tie them all up closely in a plastic bag, submerge in Metal Rescue. it will bring continuity back to electrical connection. Safe on plastic and electronics. It worked for me, I dont work for them.
I love watching people moving or removing seats. What you need to do is turn them so the base is vertical and the bottom of it towards the front of the car - then it is easy to just turn the seat around the pillar to get it out.
It seems like you should have sprung for an extra $40 and bought the Walmart HyperTough electric drill and hooked it to that seat motor shaft and zipped that seat forward in no time. Just a thought.
He's got a different boy on his channel every episode to help out. He's not the most mechanically apt bloke. Most off us wouldve chucked that motor up in a drill... etc.
The wiring harnesses has to be toast. If salt water was able to wick in because of the stranded wire, that car will be a nightmare a few years from now. I know some of the pinball guys actually place old wiring harnesses in the dishwasher to clean and the results are pretty amazing. Granted, not from salt water damage, more about decades of grime.
To the person who does the music for each of Mr. Cracc's television shows, thank you. You are very talented ! On one of Mr.Cracc's shows I heard music that sounded quite similar to "Head Hunters" by Herbie Hancock ! Absolutely brilliant ! THANK YOU !
Not sure about the tool box, but I’m definitely going to give the Electric 1/4” ratchet a shot for that price! Even cheaper than the harbor freight ⚡️ ratchet. I’m not working on anything industrial just car DIY stuff. Sh!t the snap on guy quoted me over $600 for a snap on 1/4” with 2 batteries! Wth
Yes, it's just a matter of how much money you have to spend. This would likely need a complete wiring harness plus any fuse block that got any water on it. Also, the engine may need rebuilt if the water got inside. Would also likely need new exhaust and catalytic converter if they were under the car where water could flood it.
I hate these comments saying Sam needs to finish builds... But what people don't realise is most of these parts for the cars he has are expensive and not cheap to find. Loving the Aston Martin build. Nice to see a brittish car being put back on the road.
I'm curious if salt water migrated into the wires from the terminals and if so how that affects the conductor's resistance. Should the wire harness be replaced?
The wire connector to those pins that is hiding behind those plastic covers will look just as bad as those fuse panels. Great video series on this car but who ever buys this off him better do research or know what they’re getting into.
@@gbpg2016 I know about the connectors. My concern is water/salt migrating up into the wire/sheath....capillary action. Hence the need to replace the harness.
The corrosion won't affect the resistance initially, but over the long term it may eat the wires away to nothing. This car will never be reliable the way he is 'fixing' it.
That CEM or Relay box as you calls it, is also part of the immobilizer and a lot more in one. It needs to be reprogrammed in order to work. Probably not possible as it is not a virginized unit. 😫
I don't know about how much space there is there to access the bolt..... but maybe taping the motor bolt to an extension socket which would be connect to a ratchet or a drill and using a ratchet/drill to spin the motor would have made quick work of it....
Hart hand tools, the best tool in the lot if you're looking to strip fasteners. But it is also a good deal for a "field" box, because when you lose them in the grass, you're not out a lot of money. 😆
I love these videos. I just wish that someone would have told him about the manual seat release built into the headrest on these things, would have made life so much easier... it's a hidden leather strap in the passthrough. Accidently found it on my db9.
Man you have balls of steel for trying to take on these projects, salt water is the great destroyer, hell just living near salt water slowly destroys cars, houses and even boats that are made for it😮
in the flood vehicle i got from ian besides changing about 27 controlers i noticed wires thst would of been constant power seem to corroded the worst in plugs similar issues come pins broke right out
Hey, Sam? For cleaning up those electrical connectors, try buying a "Fibre / Fibreglass Abrasive Cleaning Pencil / Pen"... They're only a few bucks and make cleaning corroded contacts like that a breeze... Wear gloves when using them though, as the fibres do snap off and will cause you to get *REAL* itchy *REAL* fast!!!
Experience shows that cleaning the connectors & wiring harness components on a flood damaged vehicle is very hit & miss as often the corrosion will travel up the wiring over several months to years creating fault spots that lead to failure of the electrical systems, or a fire risk from shorting electrics. In our country it is now mandated that all electrical wiring, components, including airbags & seat belts must be replaced due to the safely risks associated.
Dude you did not need to cut the wire, there are joiners that you can get that can be used without cutting. Keep up the great work mate from New Zealand.
You can try cleaning the sockets by soaking them in a full glass of vinegar for a couple of days. Then you need to clean the vinegar and apply contact cleaner.
this beautiful car of yours was built in the UK. i guess over in America your car alarms work different to the UK. our alarms shut off after 30 seconds and then goes off again 15 seconds later.

Did you consider using your cordless ratchet attached to the seat motor shaft to rotate it, rather than rotating it by hand?
Sounds brilliant to me

I repaired flood damage vehicles for over 15 years and the worst case is when the connector terminals are corroded and need to be replaced.
Haha great cliffhanger - nice to see another familiar face! Can't wait to see more of this repair!
Enjoy your candor and your hard work.
Try using battery terminal cleaner spray on all of the terminals, it's better to use contact cleaner after
That car is only good for parts. Salt water has gotten into every nook and cranny. Even if it runs again, someone will be chasing gremlins FOREVER.

You could attach a hose with some clamps and spin the rotor with a drill.
I had a flooded first floor once. The smell was incredible and hard to get rid of. Doesn't a flooded car have a smell problem?
Why didn't you put a piece of hose to connect the seat motor shaft to a drill to create a flexible joint? Maybe that could've helped a bit.
