I’m a car guy so am subscribed to numerous channels. After watching Eric and Mrs. O, Sheba , Chloe and the cat just about lost interest in the other channels….such a sucker for a good video ha ha ha

    Learned a couple of keepers in this 2 part video. 1. Start with a complete visual inspection. 2. You can never have too much ice cream. 3. Don't underestimate the value of a good test light. 4. Always check for grounds when things look wonky.

    These are the kind of videos I like to see especially with the car issues that Eric O. videos to diagnose. These are the exact kind of electrical issues that when I come across them, want to know where to start looking in my own vehicles. Eric lists out the troubleshooting steps as simple as he can and always with good humor. I like how he keeps his language practically "church" clean in his video -ie we know what he is saying when he says "what the thunder fumble is going on here" type phrases Lol. A big thumbs up from this ameture home mechanic.

    Love the series Eric but that 2003 Ford with a bad body ground was epic. A ground wire installed with a roofing screw, rubber insulator and all. Got to love it! And the fix was better than factory. "Scope on a rope" will forever be burned into my mind and you have made me realize it's a powerful tool, but is there a place for a power probe type tool?

    @roscoesomeone9764 Před 7 lety

    What to do when you wake up early at 3 AM on Saturday morning? No problem watch South Main Auto on the big screen. I took auto repair shop back in high school in the mid 60s.... I never mechanic'd for a living but I've saved a fortune being able to fix my own things and made a little extra here and there as I went along. I've never bought a new car or lawnmower, there was always one that came along that just needed some fixing, well,..... sometimes a lot of fixing.
    I got to watching your videos while researching some problems a neighbor is having with his vehicle.
    What comes to mind is how productive the USA could be if we were all like Eric and how I'd rather have the two bucks that guy burned up in gas with the Nova than the thrill of the acceleration.... growing old does that to a fellow.
