Wow, thank you all so much for your encouragement to my son, and your comments about me as a father. I am so far from perfect, but I know that God is not done with me yet.
I had no idea this would be so well accepted. I actually hesitated uploading it because of its length but now I'm glad I did.
So I'm writing to all of you to let you know that I've read each and every comment and am having trouble replying to everyone so I wanted you all to know how much you've made my day. Thank you all so much for being a part of this channel and supporting my family.
+ScannerDanner: Enjoy every day you can work on cars with your son because he´ll go it´s own way soon...maybe cars is something you can share together in in the future and spend some time together every once in a while...but don´t push him if he´s not so much into cars like you are... but wheter he is or not, I think he should learn some Basic stuff / maintenance so he ´s not beeing ripped of at the garages... generally People should start knowing more about their cars and how they work... next to a house, we spend a lot of time in it and it´s the second most expensive Thing we buy in life
I'm so glad I stumbled across your channel. Scanning through and recently watching a video you did on fuel trims have helped me so much in my day to day job. I'm a progressing fleet coordinator/manager with 7000 vehicles nation wide and stuff like this helps me know a bit more about what to expect when a vehicle goes down and needs to make a trip to the shop. With the improvements with GPS and telematics I can see DTC's the minute a vehicle encounters trouble. Recently I see a lot of evap issues (gas cap mostly) and vacuum leaks. Being able to see a snap shot of some data helps. Thanks again for sharing pretty much your day to day life and being one kick ass dad to take the time and patients to teach us and your own. Cheers!
Its the best method to teach somebody. Not just talking or showing things, but real involving somebody to work.
Great Vid! I had same problem with 96 Celica not cranking, turned out, it was actually very easy fix..... a bolt had come out and the starter wasn't sitting straight, and not firing up. Your video was very helpful in finding the problem though! Many thanks!
ScannerDanner I began to watch your videos and this one is very good because I kind of identify with the situation with my own son itvis good to see that you are helping your son to learn your knowledge by having him get his own hands dirty on the job he will have this experiences with his Dad for ever keep being a good dad God will bless all your patience. Greetings from Mexico!
kid is lucky his dad is one of the best technicians on the east coast
He is blessed
The best place to break down with your car is in your driveway! Good for you teaching your son the basics of auto repair. Every driver should be able to understand the basic stuff.
Maan, this reminds me so much of when I was a kid and I used to love helping my dad work on the cars, having my head inside an engine feels second-nature to me, and now I'm doing all my own work and maintenance on my own car (which is actually a 1996 celica, haha).
I'm going to be taking an auto mechanic course soon, and this video of a father an his son having fun trying to diagnose a problem together reiterates to me why I love this kind of stuff. This was a really enjoyable video to watch, awesome man, thanks.
PS. Does anyone else find it extremely relaxing and satisfying watching these kinds of mechanic videos? The whole methodical diagnostic process and then managing to fix it and make it run again.. terrific.
A good father a good mentor and a great example of how to be patient and kind to your son who is learning a valuable lesson.
Another great video Paul thank you for doing what you do!!!!!
+DaveSender66 thanks man, I just wish I was this patient off camera :)
My dad always yelled at me 😰
I watch every single video of Scanner Danner as I am a technician myself and want to soak up as much information as I possibly can so I don't have to make a career of hanging ball joints. But gotta say my favorite videos are these the father/son in the driveway fixing the kids car! Reminds me of when I was a kid trying to learn
Yes I agree, My favorite vids. also. My 1 son had an interest in it, the other 1 NOT SO MUCH ? He would rather pay me to do it rather than learn how to do it ? Ironically he's a Electrician for the state now & the other 1 is a Surveyor for the state. I love teaching a person that knows nothing about cars, how to fix them. It's funny in a way to watch them but it gives them confidence.
JUST AS I WAS THINKING "WHERE"S THE UACTIVATE TOOL " YOU BROKE IT OUT. GREAT JOB APPLYING PATIENCE WITH YOUR SON. WHEN I WORK ON CARS I DON"T MIND PEOPLE WATCHING AND LEARNING. MOST PEOPLE WOULDN"T BE ABLE TO WORK ON THEIR OWN STUFF BECAUSE OF THE COST OF THE TOOLS TO DO THE JOB.
Your son is so lucky to have a dad who is able to learn him how to fix cars 🚗. I didn’t have any knowledge before I was 30 years old and found out I wanted to become a mechanic 👨🔧:)
Love the father /son back and forth. Everything that pops up with the toyota, you guys have to film it!
i found the coolest tandem of a father and son on YT. greetings from the Philippines.
Thanks so much!
Your son is a lucky boy to have a dad like you to teach him your knowledge. Thanks for the lesson .
My friend had a no crank problem. He was about to call a tow truck. I came over with a voltmeter and made a few checks. Corroded connection between the battery lug and the cable. Not between the battery post and cable lug, that was good. Anyway, took it apart, cleaned it up, and put it back together. Started right up and hasn't had a problem since. Thanks SD.
Now that's how you learn!! My father did the same with me and the confidence from that experience taught me that you can fix almost anything with the right direction!
Wow SD THAT CAR WAS MADE THE SAME YEAR I GRADUATED 94 THAT'S COOL I REMEMBER BACK IN THE DAY. ABOUT 34 YEARS ago when I young MY DAD A 1975 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE convertible top that was a big car with a engine in it there was no room in the engine bay and thank you for your videos they are awesome to watch I enjoy watching your video it is like all the years of me grow up I was always out side with my Dad working on his truck and cars I learned a lot from my dad I am blessed to have have the knowledge of working on cars and big trucks and little trucks and cars and big tractor's and small ones to now if I not sure on something I would be looking on TH-cam I like to watch your videos SD and SMA ALSO ETCG videos thank you all for your videos. there is a lot to learn in this world that we all live in ,God bless you all thanks again for your time and your help and a big thumbs up for your son on his learning experience from you and other people that learned in your class room
Jake, if you get to read this just know your father is the best at this kind of stuff, he's a good guy and helps a lot of people fix their own stuff. Your father is by far the best I've ever seen at diag work.
Awesome episode..
I’ve had cars that nobody in the shop could figure out (not a very diagnostic environment) that I immediately knew what to look for just because of watching his videos. This guy makes diagnostics look fun and easy.
Seems like a great ,normal ,young man, try to remember to talk to him and teach him , as though he was not your son , but your best friends son . You can tell he looks up to you and wants to please you , be thankful for that , so many kids are tuned out nowadays.
It's good that it's a manual trans, starter problem, tell your buddy to get out and push, pop the clutch, try rocking the car while in gear first, sometimes that can cause a starter to get un stuck, great video, always good to pass on mechanical knowledge, there's a lot of people out there that know absolutely nothing, mainly because they just didn't have anyone to teach them while growing up.
I appreciate your willingness to teach your son (and your viewers) on film. Good diagnostic work!
My Dad was a very quiet and unemotional man. But get him in the shop and we could talk. We worked on cars together and to this day my favorite place to be is in my shop. Great work with your son.
Same with me. My dad was not the most sociably developed individual. All he could relate to was cars. He was a diesel tech for 40+ yrs. the only time I can say I ever connected with him was at the shop. When I was 7, 8 yo, instead of summer school, I would go to the shop wit my dad. Today, I owe my profession, and my good fortune to him.
+Lynx Star Automotive (Gabe V) Awesome.
Cool diagnosis and father/son moment. My Dad spoiled me with my cars. He had mechanics that worked for him and his trucks fix my cars, but I never learned a thing!! I wish he had made me watch and learn. Great job!!
Came for the electrical system; stayed for the dad skills. Wish my dad had been so supportive and patient. Great video.
I love my dad and wouldn't trade him for the world, but man I wish when it came to cars he had the passion and knowledge of you. I am still in the learning phases of being a diagnostician after 5 years in the field, but your videos literally have turned me from a parts to changer to someone who has a clue.
I’m probably around Scanner Danner’s age and my car electrical knowledge is not more much than Jake’s during the time of this filming, this is one of the few SD processes that I was able to follow, so this is real take away for me. 👍🏻
Dad tips, I love it. I think the world we be a much better place if Dads and Uncles did more of this. Thanks for this, it took me back 40 yrs. You got a good kid there brother.
Great first lesson about no-starts for the completely uninitiated. The amount of oil he got on his hands as a first timer was perfect. With practice and ninja speed you won't get a drop on you. It's all about technique. Great job being a dad, your sons first major repair. Great to see you let him do it himself instead of being a wrench holder on the sideline.
The only way to keep from getting oil on yourself, is to wear a hazmat suit!! If you ain't getting dirty, you're paying someone else to!!
roadkill5333 If you need a hazmat suit you're definitely doing it wrong.
Some people can just do it. My bros friend was dressed in jeans, and a long sleeve white dress shirt, for a date, when my bro arrived for engine trouble help. They removed the engine from a VW bug in about 20 minutes. Just in time for him to go on his date. He barely needed to wash his hands! My bro looked like he had been ran over by a city bus! Thank God for GO-JO!! Did I mention the long sleeve white dress shirt?? Not even a smudge!
+DJDevon3 thanks bro and I agree he didn't do to bad. I was really hoping for him to get soaked on camera :)
"The headliner is missing, that's how a first car is suppose to look like" Truism 101!
This video succeeds on so many levels. Whilst it's great as an instructional aid for a no-crank car issue, it's really more about the joys of family life. The fact that 16-year-old Jake doesn't even swear speaks volumes about Paul as a role model. This is one of those videos we'll all enjoy - even folks with no interest in mechanics. And we're working on a manual car here; something which really appeals to us here in England. Top work, Paul!
I have to say kids like Jake give us hope for the future. Seeing a well spoken, respectful, intelligent, patient 17 year old that can keep his nose out of the phone for over an hour and stay on task is refreshing to say the least! That is gong to make a big impression on people who might have influence over potential opportunities he'll come across in the future!
+Schrodinger's Box Quantum Mekanix thanks Matt. He is a great kid and I don't want to be preachy but it is truly his knowledge of who Jesus is that makes him this way. Seriously, he owns it man, he doesn't just take my word for it.
ScannerDanner I gathered as much... in fact at times when you two were discussing matters other than the car, it seemed you might have more to learn from than he from you !!
Paul your son had some good questions that maybe a lot of people had too ... dont be shy about throwing him in another video
+deepsquat600 thanks, I will!
I remember so well when I was busting my knuckles working on my vehicle, or a neighbors truck and wanting to teach my sons, how and what I was doing. Both of them were playing on some game system. I love watching this video, I'm glad your son is learning the basics about cars. May God bless you always!
Good Job, SD. You have started the Learning process. A+. I have all girls. They let Dad do it. BTW, My Dad passed when I was 12. Cherish every moment.
It is nice to see him learning from you. I started wrenching with my dad at 12 or 13, and i started getting serious when i had to fix my first car just to get it road ready. Sorry i just got to watch it. I have used a screwdriver at the starter and an electrical light cable when i had no dvm with me.teach him wrench on wrench to make that tool longer.
Being a dad myself with a son the same age, this was my favorite video of yours to date! Funny thing too my son inherited a 98 Toyota from his grandma with same motor. Great cars!
Thank you my friend. God bless you and your son
You have no idea how much this helped me. Especially due to the fact that i own a celica myself
I got some more videos on this car too.
Distributor issues
No spark issues
Alternator issues
I think this video resonates with a lot of us who have kids the same age. I was laughing when you said how masculine he looked. I said the same to my son. They pick up the wrench with little confidence looking at you for guidance. I love both these channels.
You have a great Son who was willing to learn and try which means he has great parents! Jake, congratulations on your successful starter repair and even if your Dad doesn't admit it, everyone gets wet on their first oil change. Well done!
+knunne1 haha for sure! I worked at a 10 minute oil change place for 3 years at the beginning of my career.
Props for making a Dad/Son video! I can't wait for days like this with my son! This is how our industry finds its new blood, with guys in the driveway teaching their sons and daughters. Keep up the great work and I am looking forward to those problem children that only you and I (thankfully I am blessed enough to be in a shop that is large enough to employ me to figure out those cars that no one else can) can figure out. Keep up the great work!
By teaching an amatuer it is a really good way to teach amatuer viewers like me. I love the first half of this video because you use very simple way to look for problem which any car user can learn to do, but the last half is difficult as you use more complicated tools as well as the camera did not show clearly where you are working around the starter. Anyway thanks for teaching
Thank you! The starter tests I did are more clear in this video.
th-cam.com/video/oo1SRIFIkhs/w-d-xo.html
It’s good to see quality father and son bonding.
Retired automotive tech here , you remind me of myself with my kids , my kids still bug me HA HA HA so much for retirement , I bet your like me when your in a parking lot and you hear a car cranking and not starting you always want to help , Nice video
+MrMastergdog I am totally that way my friend. thank you!
Danner you need to have your boy re install that 4 gauge amp power wire through the firewall in a safe grommet! It looks like a scosche kit so it probably has the standard maxi 80amp fuse in the holder and that should be somewhat safe, but if it ever gets pinched and chafed in the door jam he may get a bright fireworks show and melted wire that'll last until the fuse melts.
And excellent video as always. You're an awesome teacher for sharing your wealth of knowledge to TH-cam for everyone. Keep it up brutha!
+Neurocidal For sure! We bought the car with that wire installed that way. It does have an fuse at the battery though, so we are okay for now. Thanks!
+ScannerDanner for sure man, I know of all people you've probably seen it all.
This was amazing; let me first congratulate your son for having a very smart dad! I think so many of us would have appreciated having a mentor like you. Well, I have a 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander, and there is no crank and nothing. I got to my destination when I parked in and when I got back put the key in and it did a very wick start almost fading out. Then nothing. I take the started to Autozone and starter is good. I am not a mechanic but I can follow directions. After watching your video does gives me a more clear way to what else to check. And I can not do so because the lock of “special” tools at less I will know what the mechanic should be doing and charging me💰💰😊
I will keep you posted with the final diagnostic!
Have a HAPPY Merry Christmas and a New Year 2023🙏
"Scanner Danner, Jr" That's awesome! What a great father-son bonding experience! Great video!
My dad always yelled at me 😰
love the father son perspective of this video. Really cool. Surprised being your son he isnt already the top notch mechanic milking side money fixing everyones cars at school.
Great father, every dad should show there kids the basics.
The best teacher which you can have son, so worth it!
You can not image how much pleasure it gives me to see a dad teaching his sone some basics car 1-0-1 :-) your son is lucky (he will not realize, until later ) thanks for sharing!
+Joop Terwijn thanks so much
How to video?? Nay, I say. Just a great dad and son spending a day In the driveway, under a car, fixing stuff and enjoying the sunshine together, video!! You say if he absorbed 20% of the info. Nope! He absorbed 100% of the time you two spent working together on his car!! Whether he ever turns another wrench, or not, he just learned a life lesson! HOW TO BE A GREAT DAD!! Something he will remember forever, and pass along to his own kids! Great job, showing what it takes to be a dad!! Thanks for sharing that!
+roadkill5333 thanks so much! I'm not always as patient as I should be with them but Gods not done with me yet either
LOL PAUL, DON`T MIND AND DELETE SOME VIDEOS SAYING THEY ARE TOO OLD. REMEMBER SOME OF US ARE NEW TO THIS CHANNEL. SO WE START FROM THOSE OLD OLD VIDEOS OF YOURS.
THIS WAS ONE OF YOUR SIMPLEST VIDEOS. BUT IT IS FUN TO US. LOOKING AT YOUR SONS DOING BASICS. YOU TOLD THEM TRUTH THAT THIS IS NOT A CHANNEL FOR BEGINNERS.
I MYSELF AM STRUGGLING ON THIS CHANNEL DUE TO THE WAY IT IS ADVANCED.
M.B.S MOSHITOA (S AFRICA)
Keep watching my friend. It gets better I promise!
Paul...I enjoy this video very much...
Recently bought my son.who is 16 a car also and I been wanting to do the same with my kid...
Kudos to you and family brother.
Thank you for all your time....
Great video Paul! Really enjoyed the father and son input. You are a fantastic teacher to not only your son but all of us.
You're one in a million, wish i had a dad like you, but i guess you cant choose your family right, keep doing what you're doing bro, he's extremely fortunate to have a caring father, mentor, inspiration like you 😊, (BTW subbed and liked)
Thanks so much
Great dad and son time and the learning is a plus.God knows these things happen for a reason.
So nice for a father and son working together, reminds me of my dad and I doing some minor repair on his Lite-Ace Toyota 15 years ago!
My dad always yelled at me 😰
TKRD G us too! Hahaha!
Paul, it is a good thing that you explained what you were testing and why. It was also a good thing that you made him do the wrenching because that is how you learn, hands on ! And it is not all that bad, when you said your son really didn't have a interest, but was really doing the repair out of necessity. When I was a kid, starting with my first bicycle right up to my first car, you either learned to repair them or you WALKED ! Necessity is a great motivator ! LOL ! Great vid, God Bless !
Great video Paul I just wanted to say The time you spend with your kids showing them how to work on cars is more valuable than you think when I was a kid I used to go to work with my dad doing heating and AC calls by the time I was 15 I could fix most furnace problems because I would say 90% of troubleshooting was electrical and I have always liked working with electric. Even though I didn't choose HVAC as a career the electrical principles are the same and use them working on cars today.
Here is a tip for swivel sockets wrap black tape around it and that will keep it straight but it will still allow it to swivel
Dear Mr. Danner. Another advise if someone stranded in same situation with a manual car is to push the car forward while holding the steering or have someone push him and then jump into the seat and put the stick on 2nd gear and release the clutch pedal. This will start the car but does not look civilized at all Loool. Also it happens with me instead of buying a new started you can after removing the starter dismantle the stuck solenoid and sand paper and light;y grease lubricate the knuckle track as well as a copper piece that bridge the high amp wire to the motor (or even replace that copper piece) and try its operation on bench before putting it back. This would be a durable repair.
Thank you indeed Mr. Danner for your great and lively movies.
John Kaplanian
+John Kaplanian thanks for the tips John
Fantastic video- its like a holiday family special edition!! Always great to see your kids cameo on the videos! The one last with with your daughter was precious lol. You're a great dad.
Your son is lucky he knows you😀. I love these no crank or crank but no start videos
+joeandgod1 and I'm lucky that I know him :)
Mr. Scanner Danner your getting replies decades later. The tapping on the starter must go back to my high school days working at a FULL SERVICE GAS STATION. The mechanic showed me how to do that, however tracing opens, shorts and God knows what else. I wish I had you as a shop teacher.
I still see them all, doesn't matter how old the video is. 🙂
Thanks!
Your son will remember this his whole life.
My son has some similar moments, and hey, he is working on FA-18s now.
I was surprised you didn't teach him about fuses though.
The bond between you guys are great much love and respect im about to buy a 93 gt celica with no start no crank hoping I can get it together thanks for the video
Taking out those starters in those engines is a pain, the older Toyotas, like 88 and back, and the Celica sport 22R engine is a breeze. I had to do it and had to buy tools and do it in a parking lot in the night, my back was destroyed. In the 1991 Corolla you have to take out the air filter assy. to reach the screw on top then get under to remove the bottom, in normal conditions it is kinda difficult, let alone when it is night time. Anyways, any old Toyota fans out there? Great tutorials by the way, keep it up.
Sorry for my bad english, its not my native.
Thank you both for this video! Great father & son - relationship. Please keep going, be sure you had a new follower! Greetings from Germany.
My sister lives in Germany (Marburg). Thank you my friend
That was a very good lesson for your son if he has an interest in cars. I see that Jake has the Danner humor. My son's first lesson was to repair collision damage on his car. Not only did he learn to turn wrenches but it made him a better driver. Even though he's working in I.T. 10 years later he can replace his own brakes, maintenance and most every thing else. Recently, he decided to replace the timing belt. I laughed because he gave up after realizing it was a big job. ("you have to remove the engine mount") hahaha. I guess i'll help him with that one.I would like to know in the future if Jake is maintaining his own car. Keep us posted.
+wysetech2000 Amazing how careful they drive after they spend a couple hours beating out a fender by themselves isn't it?
+Co Jones Especially since it was only his third day on the road. Snow slippery on an exit and hit a guard rail.
Cheers ScannerDanner. Recently encountered this problem with my own car, that has a push button start. These type of things always seem to happen when you need your car the most. Well done to yourself and Jake also.
thanks man
I really appreciate all your videos when you work with electrical diagrams, Thank you 1,000 times SD.
That was a great father/son project! Reminds me of working with my Dad. My son is not mechanical as he's a computer nerd but his twin boys love to work with me in the shop.
Your a Good Dad Paul. God bless.
+d Ramsland I'm not as good of a dad as I should be but thank you!
It’s great to see father teaching son learning great educational video 👍 that starter is deader then a door nail 👎
I'm impressed!I had the same problem. In my situation that tapping technique really worked. Thanks ScannerDanner.
Reminds me of working on cars with my Dad when I was a couple of years younger and even as much as over a decade ago when I was like 7-10 helping to change brake pads and callipers. Awesome video
I dream of being a father half as good as you. My boy is 11 so have these days ahead of me.
Laughed at the flip-flop sound as you walked around. Only time I've heard that.
+Matt W haha you could here that? I didn't even catch that in the editing
Jake, your dad was holding out on you making you use that short wrench on the oil pan. Ask him about the cheater bar or how to double up your wrenches to make it easier... :) Great video guys. Paul, I'm rebuilding a '91 S10 with my 17 year old son right now. Lots of great lessons and memories. It was awesome to see you two doing this together. Totally the way it's meant to be.
Great video Paul. Quality father son time that I am quite certain Jake will always treasure.
+White Tiger and so will I my friend. Thanks!
Great Video. Scanner Danner jr. is gonna be famous like his dad. Thanks again. Have a nice day guys.
+jose alers you too Jose!
Love your videos. I too did not start turning wrenches until I bought my own car. Can't wait till my 6 year old is old enough to share this learning experience.
That was really awesome Paul! Thank you! And I can't even begin to tell you how great of a father you are for getting your son a manual transmission car! They are safer than automatics because kids can't text,eat etc while driving.
+Nick Nicu great point! never thought of the not being able to text thing.
Thanks man
glad you made him put the starter in himself , its the only way to learn how to do it, doing is learning !
Great to see you working with your son.
Another excellent video. You have mucho patience. I especially enjoy the strategizing regarding the troubleshooting. I used to be a notorious "parts changer" but am getting a lot better.
Thanks man, but editing helps :-)
your son is very lucky to have ScannerDanner as a father and friend ;-))
I learned the same way from my grandfather, he was a Ford dealer mechanic during the 40's and then became a union carpenter. My first car was a 1980 Plymouth Horizon hatchback. lol.
I had a similar no start issue with an F150. The shielding on the cable going from the battery to the starter dry rotted off, and it had welded itself to the frame. I worked construction, so I ran a new line from the battery to the starter with 4 gauge house wire to get me home, and it worked like a charm.
I have been watching a lot of your videos recently and always learn something thanks for taking the time and effort to make these great videos on a side note my friend and I have both damaged our power probes by testing relays using the switch, the voltage spike from the collapsing field took out the power probe now I energize the prob with the switch before I touch the solenoid and hold switch on until after I remove the probe from solenoid Thanks again
Great video! Awesome to see father son relationships like that. Also with a manual transmission sometimes when the starter hangs up you can roll the vehicle a little and drop the clutch. It frees the starter up but is not full proof works sometimes same as beating on starter.
Great technician and great father.
That was cool Paul. That's how I got in to this trade I was all ways around my dad when he was messing around with the car. He was not a mechanic at all more like a shade tree lol but a fine cook. So I got both fine cook at home and mechanic is my trade of life gas and diesel.
+Acrittendon Crittendon awesome
For your info, on the Power probe IV menu, go to feed mode, now you can read the live/resistance on the circuit. in this mode it's great for tracking down voltage drops and checking grounds.of course understanding your fundementals and using them makes this tool better
nice kid. you must be a proud dad.
he's a nice young man= you're a good father great video had me grinning at the end Jake did really well not getting covered with oil as good as anybody truth be told better than me half the time
Thank you James!
This is a great video Paul, brings back memories of my father and I collecting and repairing my first car nearly 30 years ago. Hope your son takes full advantage of your outstanding knowledge. I like the Celica. Nice car to learn from (well apart from starter motor replacement that is). lol
A 94 manual Celica! That car may see Scanner Danner 3 ride in it! They can go a long time, as you know. My 93 Camry at 300k+ runs like new! Great vid.
Daisy Mouri what's scanner danner 3?
My dad was an ASE mechanic, but when my sibling and I started driving, he didn't want us fooling or fixing cars. He would tell us that we needed to study and get good grades. We all did what my mom and dad wanted, which was to go to college and get a degree. After we graduated, my brother and I started buying cars and my dad at that point would help us fix the used cars that we brought. Some of my best memory with my dad was when we were wrenching on cars.
Since your son has a manual trans, I would have tried to bump start it. If the engine started, sometime the vibration is enough to move the starter off a dead spot.
I give the family discount to my family when I design a house for them, so I'm sure your son get the same friends and family discount.
Man I just had the same encounter w my doughthers Nissan Verza that wouldn't start, the car was left on a alleyway for two weeks, they told her it was the starter motor gone bad, so today I load up my truck w lots of tools hydraulic jack jack stands I was prepare for anything including my jump pack I drove 50 miles just to give her a jump start. There was nothing wrong other than she left something on n killed the batt, good bcuz I didn't feel like getting on the floor thank God! Lol Hey Jake
+Milton Solis that sucks, but at least it was just a dead battery

Great parenting... your so very blessed...add some eye protection for the boy when he's underneath...
I really enjoyed this one - especially the father / son time.
For folks who are "frugal". Autozones website has repair guides that usually have the wiring diagrams (Alldata version as AZ owns Alldata) Your local library probably has a subscription to EBSCO as well. They have an auto repair database that also has vehicle repair information including the wiring diagrams. Those are both normally free. Some of the manufacturers even have free or low cost access to the repair information.
+Blazer02LS I did not know that. Thanks for the tip
