This Little Wire Brought This Truck Down! Mechanic Induced Problem!

A small wire that got cut on this 2007 Toyota Sequoia brought the entire truck down shutting off and not starting which. And after diagnosis it turns out it was actually a mechanic error that you wouldn't believe that it took 5 years to show up.

[SupraSav]

I love the virtually nonexistent intro and get right down to business approach. Thanks for all your videos.

[Nightowl-OO]

One of the best Toyota car detectives ever! Well done

This channel should be essential training for Toyota technicians trainees

AMD, With a diligent owner and your careful attention to detail, this Sequoia should go another 200, 000 miles. 🤞🤞

Thank you again for posting these type of troubleshooting/diagnostic videos. It really helps all of us DIY people. 👍

Toyota Dealership ... "You need a new ECU and a gazillion new sensors!"
AMD ... "Well, here's your problem, and was caused by the dealership!"

I own a silver 2006 Sequoia. 236k miles. Bought it with 220k miles August 2023. Absolute beast of a vehicle. Take care of your vehicles and they will take care of you!

Great mechanic. We need more like him.

AMD, in my time working on these engines ( and how I love the UZ series V8's) I have seen those clips broken and the wires loose many times. Thanks for explaining the proper repair. Our customers deserve our repairs and maintenance completed competently.

I’m thinking driving to Chicago to fix my car. After you see this guy you won’t trust many shops.

[drnick]

The best car videos on YouTube! Thank you!

A technician at Toyota of Venice (FL) performed the WP/TB service on my '02 Sequoia, reassembled the wiring wrong and didn't leave a service sticker. 8 months later, the truck died in the middle of Dodge City, Ks. The folks at the DC Toyota were very accommodating, found this exact same issue, fixed it, and haven't had any issues over the 5 years it was repaired.
And yes, I'm name-dropping because those that do a good job should be praised and those that don't ought to be called out to improve.

The beautiful 1st gen sequoia, in all her glory. Saved by the one and only

I hate intermittent problems. So hard to find. I never would've found this. AMD is a genius mechanical magician. One in a million.

Detective Ahmed on the case 🤣 🕵️‍♂️. It’s like Aircraft investigation

[wilmarbarrick]

I can't tell you how many times I've seen this. It's why I never let anyone repair my vehicles except me. Engineers didn't put the clips in for giggles and by the time the problem manifests itself its long out of warranty.

On a similar note, when I get a new vehicle, the first thing I do is inspect all the exposed harnesses/wires that I can get to for possible chaffing points. Honda and Toyotas I never have issues with... GM and Jeep... well, let's just say I slice up a lot of old heater hose to wrap around points.

Man that is crazy...Glad the TCCN figured it out!!

[joesphmarzella]

You are a true diagnostic technician ! I love your videos. I have learned so much by watching your videos and follow your advice to the T ! I really wish that you where in my area you would get all of my business . You are a true blessing to us DYI's ! God bless you and your business.

Wonderful presentation by a expert mechanic, just wish more mechanics were this thorough and conscientious.
