Usually a key will flash on the dash if the immobilizer has an issue.

[@nickbarrett571]

Either that or will die almost instantly.

Thanks. I haven't worked on a newer car in a while so when I get one, Imma need to know these lil tricks and tips. Thanks.

[@no1ghostrider]

I guess that's the good thing about working on the same cars all the time, you know them inside and out, you didn't even have to check a wiring diagram lol

[@OnlineMechanicTips]

Lmao..it has its perks...But I have mad respect for the guys that work on any and everything.

[@discoonelove]

Learning something new everyday 👍👍👍thank you

[@Krankie_V]

Probably not Common down there in GA but that could be a corroded wire up here in the north. We gotta test right at the solenoid.

[@lakesautomotivediagnostics6509]

Nice😃

Great Tip

[@Kamal_AL-Hinai]

Man you're a pro!!

[@fainjohnson3637]

That's not a key . It's an evil future device.

[@jerryjeromehawkins1712]

Press the wrong button you end up in the year 2123!! 😅

[@itachisenpaix3]

I agree, I miss the old way of starting a car with just a regular key.

[@HB-yq8gy]

This dude is a crafty counselor.

[@titan9m]

Can we clone u and have one of u on every neighborhood please! You Sir are amazing! Luv the vids. 👍👍

😊 nice thank bro

[@fixitallpaul4847]

Point the key at your camera.
If its powered you will see it in the camera.

[@heywoodjablome9021]

This is whats called DIAGNOSTICS and its what you usually get charged an hour for and it can save both the technician and owners time and money knowing exactly what and where the problem is.
FYI Shot gunning parts at cars isnt how you fix them😊

[@chuccdeezel1845]

He doesn't know that for sure. Waste of time. Most likely the key fob itself. Pro, Goat, my ass! 😅

[@OnlineMechanicTips]

Smdh, if it was the key fob the circuit to the starter would not close little slow man. Seems you a lil out of your league lil dude. We got this over here

[@videogarage9221]

What does it mean on a 2011 Cherokee when you have to push (cycle) the push button start three times (ACC, ON, Start) before the car turns on (foot on brake pedal) Is this a fuel check valve problem ?

[@ljh162]

could still have an issue between relay and starter

[@OnlineMechanicTips]

Of course it could. Its time to let it up in the air and verify solenoid getting the 12 volts. This a 60 second shorts video.

[@kylehodgins423]

​@@OnlineMechanicTips But at the end of the video, you say it's a starter problem. Always contradicting yourself

[@OnlineMechanicTips]

@@kylehodgins423 It is likely a starter hardware problem, that should be tested now. Again, only so much you can get in with 60 seconds. You welcome to finish up the diagnostic topic by way of a video if youd like. No sense in relying on me if you already know everything if you to advanced for the topic. Thats always an option.

[@MWilk098]

@@kylehodgins423 wires are hardware too my guy

[@kylehodgins423]

@@MWilk098 He said the wiring is good my guy

[@meatballmechanic]

But you didn't check power and ground at the starter

[@OnlineMechanicTips]

This quick diagnosis ended with me saying that you have problems at the starter. Of course theres more to check at the starter. This a 60 second shorts video. Really the only thing left is to verify that the starter solenoid wire getting that same 12 volts you see at the test light. The starter grounded through the block.
