Oh, it looks like the plastic top interlock switch holder was cracked in two places where the microwave door connects. I ordered a replacement. Hopefully, this fixes it. haha I'll keep you updated. Thanks again!

Apologies on the delayed response. I was going to take my door apart again for pictures. Hopefully that’s the issue with your door!

Thanks for watching! I’ve seen some conversion kit but was a bit too expensive for me. If you do find something that works for you please let me know as well!

Thank you! Just want to point out I am NO expert in these machines but whatever I can do to help everyone, I will!

Thanks for watching and glad it helped!!

Thanks for watching. I love the originals!

@@mrtrytofixit You're welcome

Thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching! I eventually did replace it along with the throttle body gasket. I should have waited to receive them first, it felt like i did the job twice!

@@mrtrytofixit yeah that's the idea, I did coils and everything at the same time to avoid doing it a second time, same with fuel injectors and overhauled pretty much everything there.

Thanks for watching! I replied to your email.

Thank you for watching and glad it was helpful!!

Thanks for watching! YES! I saw that method from another CZcamsr. I plan on trying that at my next oil change for aurey

So it all depends on which model console you find for your PIU. My console had a lot of connectors for rear vents/ac/etc. my vehicle doesn’t have rear connectors so I had to remove the wiring before installing. The cigarette lighter/charging ports were there so I was able to reuse those.

Thank you for watching!

Thanks for watching! I was actually only replacing my pump that had failed. Once I took it apart, I accidentally short circuited one of the wires and the board was dead afterwards!

My pleasure! Thank YOU for watching!

Thank you for watching! Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for watching! And I’m very glad it was able to assist you as well!

Thanks for watching! It’s difficult to troubleshoot based on sound and not hearing it. I would start by making sure the pump inside the machine is not banging on any other parts. They usually are hanging from rubber holders and not affixed to the body of the machine. Check to make sure the rubber bumpers/holders are intact and not broken in any way.

Thanks for watching! The amount of water to be added is usually determined by the solution instructions. The specific one I used instructed to add up to the max line. Adding less water would make the solution stronger. The rinsing afterwards would need to be longer as well to ensure the descaling solution is completely cleared out of your machine

Thanks for watching! Unfortunately I still have the stock radio. I was not able to get the Teyes radio to work with my PIU. I have not tried any other brand, as I fear they will all be the same end result.

Thanks for watching! Unfortunately no. I was unable to get it working, and vendor stopped responding to my emails. If you get your unit to work, please reply here, I would love to get a reasonably priced unit installed in my PIU.

It should be arriving in a week or so I paid $175.00 after negotiations I will keep you updated if I manage to get it working.@@mrtrytofixit

Same person different account update: mine worked perfectly snap and connect

@@yaakovsilverman3730 glad to hear it! PIU 2017 or different year? And which Teyes model did you get? Would you mind sharing a picture of your setup? Thanks!

You can't dent or puncture an oil filter by hand tightening it... like ever.

​@@los8627 I just don't trust hand tightening. It just needs a little bit more to ensure no loosening.

@@patrickebinger facts!! Ain't nothing wrong with that

Thanks for watching! It’s time for oil change again and thank you for your input, I have purchased a new crush ring this time around.

Changed my cars oil, one of which 20 years since new. Same washer. No leaks.

Thanks for sort of watching it, lol! Not fixed. End result, after months of back and forth, I had to contact some Australian authority to get the return started. Wish it had worked. The unit is really nice looking and CZcams videos show it’s great quality

@@mrtrytofixit aw that's too bad.

I can’t confirm nor deny that, and according to them, there were at least 5 sold to regular ford explorer owners. They did not confirm any PIU owners purchased it, so I would assume I was the first, and hopefully the last. It looks to be a great product and I really wish it would have worked. They need to have the canbus programmed properly for the PIUs but since it’s such a small market for them, I doubt it would ever happen. It’s a shame.

Thanks for watching! Yes, I saw their offering. It’s a bit steep in price, but if they were willing to send one for testing I would definitely make a nice video of it, lol.

Hey, yes, my was intermittent and got progressively worse. It’s a fairly easy and cheap fix.

​@@mrtrytofixithow did you know it was the purge valve solenoid? Is there a TSB for it?

Thank you for watching! If I’m able to help at least one person, I feel my mission is accomplished!

Hey, thanks for watching. I saw this one on eBay recently….hopefully it is still available: Https://www.eBay.com/itm/125740292553

No worries!

Thanks for watching! All parts are from Amazon. There are links in description of the video as well.

So true! Thanks for watching!

Hey, thanks for watching. Yes the first option is to pull up your center console and HOPE you have the wires and plugs simply disconnected. Chances are that’s not the case. In that situation, you would need to tap a new wire into your existing ports/cigarette lighter and run this new wire to the console. It’s not difficult to do and becomes much simpler if you’re able to obtain the oem connectors.

@@mrtrytofixit IS there a way to get the wiring diagram for the console?l Lol.. I need the wiring diagram for my front marker/turn signals.. There's a junction box the wires go through from the Whelen light system.. Need to bypass it..

I can’t find my files, but I did get the diagrams from a ford explorer forum. I’ll keep searching

@@mrtrytofixit any update on this - in need myself

That's a great point! I would take the extra time heating up for no warping any day. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! If your pump is still making noises as if its on(maybe louder than usual) it could be the pump is running dry. Try to use the syringe method to add water to the pump first to see if the noises change or if it pumps out water(requires disassembling the unit by removing the back panel). I have a video on that as well. Another way to try and get rid of air from the pump is to turn the dial on the right of the front panel as if you are getting hot water from the steamer. Put large cup under it. But t
