So . . . maybe I'm missing something. How, if both pins in the RAP relay have power all the time, is it turning off? The way I understand it, the door switch (mini wedge?) closes, allowing the ground path to close to the BCM. The BCM then closes ground to the RAP relay, which pulls the switch from the IGN hot pin to the other pin, which is also hot? Which part of that have I got wrong . . .
i have a radio that never can be shut off while the key is in the ignition, no matter how i rotate the power knob to all positions, it just refuses to die !! .
Your The Man Again! My Isuzu had the same issue, wish this was out when i had that issue lol, would have saved me some diag time! Keep up the Great videos man! You should consider teachin @ a school, You know ur stuff!
What kind of scanner is that? Looked like a "Versus"? Is it a BCM specific scanner? Or is it just a scanner that is not as common, such as a Genisys or a Modis? How do you like it? Do you have any videos on it?
@woog74 Close that's a Snap on Verus he's been using it for some time. It's not only a scan tool it has a 4 channel lab scope too. Hes been using it for as long as I can remember.
To clarify my previous post before somebody yells at me, I don't mean computer diagnostic tools. I mean that cars since the late 80's have computers onboard to control everything. This really isn't needed.
I've been working on cars since I was a kid, and in my honest opinion, computers have no business in an automobile. They just add another layer and price tag to repair and maintenance that isn't needed.
You are really good Dywane .I want to see your mechanical skills on something a little more changeling like cadillac. These cars are electrical gremlins.
As always, I feel like I'm in an automotive class with your excellent videos. I am learning a lot for sure. How did you make that jumper cable with the needle? What size wire and needle did you use? That is a nice tool. I would like to make that and try out your video on my 2005 Tahoe
once again dwayne , an excellent educational video !! being in the auto repair feield myself and not experiencing these problems YET , they can come in very handy if id do !! thanks again
Good video from REALFIXESREALFAST. Perfect example of an unnecessary design for the convenience of having the damn radio on while the key is off. Well, I hope the owner finds this convenience worth the extra price of the vehicle and several hundred dollars for this fix.
I WAS HOPING TO SEE DUANE R& R THE DOOR SWITCH THOUGH. :(
My uncles truck has this. I dont understand what its for. Other than to make Duane more money. But I have a habit of turning the radio off before the ignition anyway. But I guess thats just gonna cause the radio power button to break sooner than the door switch. Than you'll just spend the money either way by putting in a new radio. How about when I turn off the ignition the car automatically puts up a sun shade for me instead.
I prefer te system where you got a push switch on the frame. Those are a lot easier to access and to fix/replace. This just seems positioned there so a dealer can charge you two hours of labor to take the panel on and of.
Fords also have the door ajar switch integrated into the latch assembly. A common problem with them is the door ajar light will stay on when all doors are closed. Sometimes they will start working again if you spray WD-40 in the latch. It works best when you use a screwdriver to close the latch mechanism and spray down inside it (with a straw on the can of course). Thought I would share that. Keep up the great vids!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
WHEN I OPEN MY DOOR ON THE RIGHT REAR THE LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON AT ALL. THAT A LIE WHEN YOU OPEN A DOOR AND THE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON ITS EITHER A BAD SWITCH ON THE DOOR SENSOR. EVERY DOOR HAVE A DOOR SENSOR ON THE BODY FRAME OR THE DOOR. DEPENDING ON MAKE AND MODEL.
@MileyCyrus192 If you took the time to listen to the explanation in the video and the logic leading to the diagnosis, you wouldn't be asking such a question.
@MileyCyrus192 Wow...youre a dumbass...this is a ASE Master technician giving his knowledge for FREE! and with a video...go somewhere else and kill yourself would ya?
@MileyCyrus192 .....so why do you watch his videos for ???? you know what ......that really is a great question .......WHY DO YOU WATCH HIS VIDEOS ANYWAY ????
