- I just want to wish everyone watching a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! In this quick video, I explain how I got locked in this customers 2003 jeep grand cherokee. I show you what the customers been having to do every time she needs to get out of her vehicle. Unfortunately the customer does not have the money to fix her door, so I decided to see if I could possibly fix it for free. Follow along as we tear this door panel apart and see if we can fix this thing without replacing any parts.
Thank you for watching!

almost choked on my coffee when that door panel hit the ground lol, been there done that. making a stand for honest kind-heartedness awesome I'm sure that woman will love you, way to build customer loyalty. Thanks Eric.
Yeah, that took me by surprise lol
That was one of the best things you can do as a great mechanic,You gave her a hand in these hard times well done
What a nice guy you are to have helped that new Mother. I smiled and teared up a little. I have been in her shoes. Bless her heart and God bless you!
Thanks for fixing that handle at no charge could have actually saved a life if she and the baby had to get out in a emergency, like a fire are something.
Wow! I didn't think of that.
what a lovely gift for the lady, when we invest our time and skill for the benefit of others we reap what we sow over time, may the gifts for you be multiplied many times
This was so nice of you to fix that for her. I was a single parent (I guess I still am, but my daughter is grown now) and I raised my one and only kid by myself. Times got tough here and there. I can totally relate to this gal's situation. I always had mechanical specials for a vehicle and had to know the "tricks" on how to open doors, start the car, open windows, etc. LOL ... I was grateful to have a vehicle so life wasn't as bad as it could have been that is for sure and I'm thankful for what I did have. I had several people help me a little on the way, but nothing like that! You surely took time out of your day just to see what was going on there inside the door panel and you did that out of the kindness of your heart and it's because of people like you that this planet is a better place to live. Thanks for you in the Universe!!! I appreciate your heart and I subbed and liked today because of this video.
Karma has a way of coming around. That half hr you spend helping someone else will come back 10 fold. When I was still wrenching, I did things like that all the time. Now my life is pretty good. I don't know how many times I've heard remember when you fixed this or that. Most of the time I don't remember it, but it's awesome that it meant that much to them that they remember years later.
If I got that right she was climbing over the center console pregnant and she smart enough not to put off oil changes, she is bad ass. Our local mechanic fixes stipped drain plugs and snapped off lugs(when it is simple) caused by the local wally world for like 10 bucks. One time and he has a customer for life. She will appreciate you every time she opens the door. Thanks for the video.
That is absolutely one of the coolest things I've seen on here. I appreciate you donating your time to help this lady out. I hope your channel does well.
Nice fix, and good on you for not charging the young mother for the fix👍.
JEEP will do anything to keep you as a customer. It was a nice thing that you did. Its getting rarer and rarer in this world. You will be rewarded in the end. Its called Karma.
You know God forbid she was in an accident and couldn’t open the door...that alone is enough to do the right thing. Good work sir.
Your problem is you're a big softie and big hearted, which in today's world of 'screw you' mentality, is something we need more of. 👍👍🇦🇺
Andrew Hallett-Patterson that’s fucked up but true lol ever since you fixed my door the car don’t start now can you come now??!!??!!
That’s why he records.. it all
That’s what everyone tells me lol
You sir are a hero. Going out of your way to help this mother is just a great act of kindness. I'm not a technician nor a mechanic, but I really love watching your video's. I wished I lived in your area because I would bring all of my auto care to your shop. God bless and keep up the good work.
Respect bro, that was a nice thing to do. This was def your character showing here. Keep up the great work my friend. Thanks for sharing... Jay
You are a good man bro glad to know there is good people in this world
"I forgot to mention that". Wow. Evidence of tape for sure. You will now have a customer for life.
It's very good for your busness! My guy is honest and does not over charge,you need to use him.
I had to replace a broken plastic retainer clip on a door handle rod. Although they are cheap, it wasn't easy because they aren't all the same size, and they are made to be left or right handed. Eventually I got a mixed generic set, and from that I was able to find one that worked. Good for you to improvise with what you had! It warms the heart to see you help somebody out, Bravo!
You are a real legend Eric. Bless you for having a kind and sympathetic heart. we all need to do some acts of kindness for those around us... One good act can have a ripple effect, and end up creating more harmony in this messed up world.
Hope you have a fantastic holiday season.
Love, light and peace.
Thank you for going that extra step and helping your customer the world needs more ppl like you I myself would have had to do the same thing God bless you bro.
God bless
Bad ass bro no wonder your having good luck and your businesses is succeeding because your humble and lay back many blessings to you and the shop😇💯
Awww.. very sweet gesture! #NoPartsNeeded, making Ivan proud. Lol 😊
You’re a real gentleman for helping out that woman! Well done sir! 👍👍👍
Good on you for helping her! Word of mouth advertising goes along way!
I bought a '00 Jeep Grand Cherokee. One of the first things I had to do was put new clips on both front door panels. The passenger side was falling off!
I burst out laughing when the door panel fell off that was hilarious
Tell you what mate that really was a great thing you did for that lady it's the little things in life that helps others that make the most difference and unlike most you tubers you didn't even have to show her reaction to make yourself look good you sir are one of the good guys in life well done
Eric that was a very nice gesture to a person that could not pay for it on Christmas great to see that there is still good people in this world thank you and have a great new year
Great way to spread the holiday spirit to your customer who obviously could use a little help.
Whatttttt she has kids and older omg 😱 you rock bro she will tell the whole neighborhood and that’s your bet back
Thanks Eric for helping the lady out with this repair.
Great video. You are a good man for helping the lady out.

Eric, you are a Saint! Thanks for being one of the good humans man on this planet.
small gestures come back in big ways !!! good Job !!!! Happy new Year !!!
Good looking out. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Thank you Eric. Good job. Have a blessed and safe New Year to you and your family.
This good deed will come back to you 10x, not to mention you have a customer for life.
Thank you for sharing this! I now know how to fix my door!
Eric, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family!! It's a pleasure to have people like you on here, Thanks for what you do and all the best
Nice gesture for X-Mas - Have a great new Year !
Amazing work! Very kind of you to fix it for her!
Good for you helping someone in need.
Class act doing that repair for your customer!! Liked the learning from the video as well Best for the New Year
You’re a good man!!
Watching from LaSalle, Ontario, Canada Eric.
I believe in Karma, I try to help people when I can. If someone does the dirty on me, don't let that deter you either. Keep going and the people that know and trust you will *always* be grateful and defend. Others may come and go -so be it if that's how they want to live.
Always interesting videos my friend as I love diagnosing...especially electrical and communications.
Stay cool down and over there in Texas brother! (I always love the thermometer shot on hot days you include when I think it gets hot here in Southwestern Ontario!).
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Looking forward to many more vids to come!
Fun fact: Back in the day, the 1990 4 dr accords had a flaw in the driver's door latch. The internal trigger was made of a pot metal casting. It would crumble, and the door would not open from inside or outside! I would remove the driver's seat from the left rear door opening so I could have some room to work. Then I would remove the driver's door inner panel, and window. Then with a spherical ball on a die grinder, I would remove the ends of the three screws that retained the latch inner plate. Then with a twisting motion with a pry bar, bend back the destroyed latch inner plate. At this point the door would not open, but it afforded an avenue to reach in with a pick and move the latch trigger. The door would open after about 29 minutes of battle. After that I got virtually all of these jobs as 29 minutes was the fastest of any in the shop!
Sounds like a pain. Thanks for watching!
Sometimes we have to do that for the customers. God will reward you pal. Regards.
God bless you, Eric
Thanks for that. You deserve a lot of good things. Happy new year 🎊
What are the chances the door handle and the window both don't work! Good thing you had another way to get out. Cel phone on you? Call a friend? Your a good guy to try to help her out!
in the holiday spirit of giving back to the community karma good on you.
Great job and a great person
Good to give people a hand up sometimes. We have all needed one at some point! God Speed!
Really good fix👍
Nice gesture mate God bless you for that 👍👍👍
Excelente video.
Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your family
My brother
u r a good man homy god bless u...
nice one Eric top chap
Nice job ...tis the season to be charitable
I like helping people out too
Awesome!
I sold my 2003 two years ago and I still regret it. You didn’t say anything about the window not working, so I’m curious. I had similar issues with my 2003 and my wife’s 2004; did a little research and it seems to be a very common issue. The wiring that goes through the door can snap; in particular, the (most likely) black and/or orange wires. Right there in the bend between the door and body. I was able to do quick fixes, though it should probably be replaced - at least the part in between. I had a lot of trouble getting that rubber cover back on though, in fact I never could get it back on, maybe you have some tips on that? Oh, and bless you for helping this woman with a quick fix without an extra charge. I’ve been in those situations too, and I’m guessing it meant a LOT to her!
I recently got a 2011 Grand with only 84k miles on it, and I look forward to years of enjoyable driving with it,hopefully with as few problems as possible.
Awesome !!!!!
You did a good deed
Funny and a great human beeing. Keep it up 👍
Thank you
Very kool gesture...👍
Thank you
Outstanding compassion🍺🍺.
Your a good guy my brother
Nice helping hand😎😎😎😎😎
Every time I worked on someone's car for nothing and it came back to haunt me
Very true. Every time you do something extra trying to help someone even if its just you gave em a bit of a break on price becaue they had a lot of work its those jobs that end up being the biggest pain in the ass
I totally agree with you.
In the shops I've worked in, we called that "getting married" to the vehicle. Like anything else, it's the rotten piece of fruit that spoils the bunch. In thinking about it, I've also had quite a few people who were extremely appreciative of extra stuff I did for them, no charge. I guess these days I just feel the situation out, and act accordingly...the random act of kindness might just make a difference to someone having a bad day.
John usually that's what happens theres no good Deed that doesn't unpunished somebody already butchered that door panel up good for going the extra mile for her
@@AKJeeper I think the one he is getting "married" to is going to be the white vette.
Good job
Good man.
True Gentleman!
great gesture It was not going to make you any richer , she will really appreciate it , nice job
The door rod retainer piece is part number L(driver) side: #15674 and R(passenger) side: #15673 and are available at just about every auto parts store around and they cost about $.35/each. FYI
This is if course, Carma. Fixing someone's ride for free and not expecting anything in return. BTW, is the spare connector dangling about the rear of the door for the missing central locking mechanism? Someone has been in there at sometime as the moisture barrier has been removed and not replaced. Keep up the good work.
I celebrate all the holidays to play it safe sir. Let’s see some j2534 programming in the future I know you know 🙌
Certainly. Thanks for watching
Good dude.
Due you are a great person its to bad you cant be my mechanic, you might need to hire new workers after this.
good fix. That thing is on its last leg
Hello, can you tell me if the brand think diagnostics is the one you recommended?
Just a heads up as I’m sure you may know now, but they sell clips at autozone specifically designed to keep the rod in... without cutting it. Lol
Unless you used some video magic, the rod was up on top of the window opening, not in the latch. Somebody tried to fix it and forgot to put it back.
I've got a problem where I can't unlock my door with the key. The interior lights turn on so it seems to know the door lock cylinder was unlocked but the handle won't open the door.
I lost my key fob a few days ago so I had to start using the key, now I can't get in because the driver's side is the only lock cylinder on the exterior.
I've had a noisy door lock actuator for several months. I have the parts but I was waiting for it to die before I replaced it. I'm regretting that now.
I'm going to have to do a locksmith style entry now and figure out why the exterior door handle won't unlock or won't unlatch the door.
Of course it's raining and I'm going to miss two appointments now...
Good man!
Blessed be 😘
I could actually hear the metal rods for the door handle and lock when you first closed the door when everything is buttoned up its solid and quiet
there's supposed to be 2 yellow clips to hold the rods
Same pro lem with my 2nd hand Jeep I just bought, no door rod, eventually I found the door handle rod in the trunk!
And which one is the model that you recommended, I am looking at the S8?
Good Man
Did the glass get blown out? I see the tape Mark's on the door panel. Seems someone changed the glass but didnt put the door back together
Greetings sometimes just to do something for others is great, lord bless anything You do for people, Even if You don't belive in a creator, laws of Nature karma and darma Will work along universe , may the lord bless You bro, the Best thing is how people look ay You and says thank You. That feeling in your heart.
Look at the state of that car, torn interiors etc. I have cars that are over 50 years old that still have decent interior. Honestly, some people are worse than animals.
God bless you 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
God bless
Your growing see cuz your so laid back laughing at the computer lol
He I'm kurdish iraqi.
Just finished work and was driving.
I like all your ved
i was just listening to this video i wasn't paying a lot of attention until you mentioned the lady story
Then i had to pull over so my question is that.
Why the f in America u should strangle f work.
I think there was probably a hidden reason. Without being able to lock and unlock the door, someone disengaged the door handle. Without being able to lock the door, anyone can gain entrance.
I bet you for the next couple of days she'll still open it the old way lol
Haha!
ive got an 01 and the passenger rear door wont open at all from outside or inside. took the door panel off and tried to manually open it from the rod and it still wont open. i wonder if the child safety is the issue
Are you sure that harness wasn’t to the door ajar switch. If so, someone probably unplugged it because the switch is bad. She probably has a door ajar light on and maybe the dome light on now.
A lot of fords had the door ajar switch built into the latch like that. They were a super common fail item.
Now I’m hoping that wasn’t unplugged for a reason.
@@ADVANCEDLEVELAUTO You probably know one way or another by now, but I'd have been too worried about why it was unplugged to plug it back in.
This happen to me with Suzuki grandvitara door locked electronically with the car running had to call lock smith.
