Hey there everyone!! Got this Chevrolet Silverado that customer complained after he replaced his tire he noticed the vehicle would not start after that?!? Coincidence or do we have ourselves another issue? Let’s jump into this video and see what we got.
Content
How's everyone doing this is also with awesome, mechanics and on today's video I got this 2008 chevy silverado right behind me, so the issue with the chevy silverado customer did some repairs to the truck and it wasn't nothing too crazy, but after that they noticed that the vehicle wouldn't turn on anymore.
So how about on today's video? We try to figure out this issue and give this vehicle back to the customer all right, so what the customer did was actually replace his tires.
So if we go inside, I'm going to show you exactly what's going on right now after he replaces tires, this is what's going on right here, so you put the key in and absolutely nothing he has replaced the battery and he's tried to jump start it.
Nothing is going on.
So let's go to the front of the vehicle right now hook up our multimeter and we can verify how much voltage we have there and as well.
We can try to turn this, but, as you can see, look at this.
This is with the key on.
Sometimes he told me that kind of like flickers it kind of acts up.
Let's try to see if we can figure out this problem.
I remember having an issue with the silverado before and I think I have a video on this one and I will put the link up above right here kind of the same issue.
Let's see if we can try to figure this out so, like I said, he's replaced a couple of things.
The first thing was replace the tires.
That's when he noticed that this happened.
I think that's just a coincidence right there, but let's go to the front of the vehicle and let's check this out real quick.
So, like I said we can turn it off, put the key back in and absolutely nothing, but he tells me it starts to flicker, but let's go check out the voltage see what we find out all right before we start checking out the voltage.
This is one thing I did notice on this right here.
Look at that.
It looks like I don't know: man looks kind of corroded or something or like they shaved something off.
I'm not sure about this.
I can tell you right here.
This is kind of warm it's a cold day outside here in houston.
This is a little warm right here, as you can see right here on the side, and that goes all the way down right here.
This is, I don't know, kind of weird looking right here: let's get the flare camera, so we can show you how warm it is- and this is just with the key on the on position.
So I just want to get the flare camera and we're going to check this out, I'm going to keep the key on on position, but it feels kind of warm right here and, like I said, I believe on my last video.
It was the ground side.
This is nice and cold.
This is warm.
So let's get the flare camera we're gonna check it out.
Then we're gonna do our voltage readings right here and then we're gonna see what we find out all right check this out.
All right, like I said today, is a cold day.
It's about 50ish degrees and look at this.
This is a power cable right here and check that out damn she's getting hot.
Like I said, I kept the.
I kept the key on the on position, so my body temperature is about 80 something degrees right here we are at that point.
That's the hottest point right here we go down.
It's a little bit lower! Look at the ground side like I said it was nice and cold, but check out this the power side, man that is crazy right there.
So this is just with the flare camera.
I'm gonna put the link on this uh this little tool that I have right here.
I'm gonna put it up above right here.
I don't know if you guys see it, it's gonna be above right there, but, as you can see, I think we found our issue right here, but we're going to do some tests to verify this.
This is going to be more redundant tests to just go ahead and condemn this right here, but yeah I'm touching this, and this is all right.
There you go so we I'm pretty sure we found the issue right here, but let's do our other test and we're gonna do a little voltage drop test to verify.
What's going on all right, so I was gonna put the graphing meter, but we're just gonna go to uh digital right here, so we can check this out because it is kind of uh.
We have a nasty glare right here.
What we're going to do? First, we're going to hook these up to the actual post, so we're going to hook this up to the post right here, so I can get the voltage on the actual battery all right.
As you can see, we have 12.03 volts and what I'm going to do, I'm going to try to I'm going to go ahead and crank it and we're going to see how much the the drop goes down and I'm pretty sure we're not going to see nothing all right.
That's cranking the vehicle over all right, as you can see pretty much nothing right here, but now what we're going to do? I want to do a voltage drop from the the actual top of the battery post to one of these wires right here.
Look at that right.
There we're at least 4.63 volts.
What we're gonna do this is so when we do a voltage drop, is the potential difference from one one side to the other side.
We should see nothing.
So if we go to the ground side right here so right now, like I said, I have one end on the battery post.
Another end on that area that was kind of hot, so we should have nothing here.
So we go to our ground side.
As you can see, we have minimal right there, so we're jumping up around 20 millivolts right there, 20 30, 40 millivolts, that's nothing compared to what we have on this one right there it's about five volts that we have.
Oh, our issue is going to be basically getting a brand new cable right here.
What I can do, I'm going to see if I can just kind of I think our problem is going to be in here- there's probably going to be corrosion inside here.
So I'm going to take this out.
So our connector right here is probably going to be corrosion inside I'm just going to replace the whole wire, but we could do.
We could try to bridge this from here to here and see if we can start the vehicle or actually we can try to do let's try something right here I'm going to try to find something that we can just bridge it right here and see if we can turn on this vehicle just to show you that's gonna start and then after that we just gotta replace this cable I'm gonna get one for the dealership and that should be the total fix right there so let me get something to bridge this all right so I didn't find nothing to bridge it but I'm actually gonna use this enoco right here so the customer did state that they tried to jump start this and they really couldn't get it jump.
Started so they hooked up the cables to the actual wires right here or the battery post and they couldn't get it started.
So what I'm going to do? I'm going to use my noko to hook up straight to these cables and so we're going to hook up on one side right here and to the wires see if we can catch it good, I'm going to try to do even better.
I can't really get too much into there, but there's a I don't know if you can see that that's a little fuse, I can actually hook up to there and that should basically get everything.
Now, let's try to crank this engine over see what we get check, that out right off the bat.
Look, what we're getting at least we're getting something so key off engine on now we have now we have something going on right here, still kind of going a little bit wonky because we're not using the whole battery we're actually using that noko.
So, let's try to see hey there, you go! So that's the main issue right there right now we're just using the noku to really power everything out right now, but, as you can see, it's working now and the main issue that we're gonna have is that we're gonna need a brand new, positive cable.
That's gonna be going basically to the starter and to I think that little uh fusible uh fusible box right there on the side, and that should be about it.
So there you go.
Let's try this one last time all right, she's, starting out, let's go to the front, I'm going to disconnect it again to show you all right, so we're going to disconnect this, and this is where I connected it right here, because this wire- if we see it here it goes- goes from here to there.
So this is basically jumping this.
So I'm disconnecting this and we're going to check it out again key inside nothing.
So there you go.
All we got to do is change out that cable.
We should be a-okay.
So if you do like this video, please put a big thumbs up and don't forget to hit that little notification bell to get all brand new videos coming out from miles mechanics y'all, take care of y'all have a nice day.
You.
