Toyota Rav4: Crank / No Start

Показать описание
In this video I prove why it pays to slow down and look at your data, gather the clues, plan the work and work the plan. I see it all to often where other shops "do the fuses," "do the grounds" and "do the relays," with no real direction. If you don't have a trail to follow it is just guessing. -Enjoy!

SMA proves that all vehicles can have problems, and the importance of knowing an honest mechanic. True pros over at SMA!

He spent more time with Mrs. O than diagnosing the car 🤣🤣

Clever fix - well done. Snappy jokes, Mrs O, dogs, lunch, snacks, hunting tales. Another great SMA video.

Wow, an actual Mrs. O sighting that lasted more than 10 seconds for a change. Y'all are so funny together.

Big fan of the channel. I prefer watching your nerdy test light videos over anything on netflix. SMA keeps it 100

WoW..The SMA kitchen has really come a long way !
Mrs O's will need to do a kitchen drawer/cabinet tour to satisfy all the people at home & show off the latest & greatest fancy-smancy gadgets from the Bed, Bath & Beyond truck.

I put my local mechanic onto your channel. He has just finished his training and I thought that it would be a great idea for him to learn even more than the basic information.

Thank you so much for this chanel, I just started at Mavis and wowed them all by solving a no crank on a bmw, it was a lost ground, they ended up replacing the starter and obviously didn't work. I knew it was something to do with a ground from a past video about voltage drop from you. They didn't trust me because I was a tire Tech or aka a lube tech. I went into the office the next day, told them I can get the bmw started in 5 mins. Got a jumper cable, plugged one onto the battery one onto the engine block and BLAM started. You have no idea how much your videos help me with cars I have and how informative they are, never change, your changing lives that you never met.

So nice to see an actual honest American with his feet and skillful hands on some solid ground.

I'm so glad that you acknowledged that Toyota products have problems just like any other vehicle out there and I'm glad you mention Scotty and his nonsense

Your diagnosis was ungrounded. But the repair was well grounded.👍🏻

'The top of the battery looks like a Chia Pet' -sounds like a great idea for next Christmas. Chia Delco.

Master mechanic mr. O. There are bad mechanic and good mechanic. Always look for a good mechanic.

By doing the grounds the other shop meant that the battery had a negative cable.

I am commenting while watching, no blown fuses is what the man means. The hard crank on one cylinder seemed to clear up, extra fuel probably not extra coolant, tank over there looks ok. Jumper in the ground at the injector while you are there and try to start, then trace back from there as you have done quick and easy enough. Can't trust anybody, just start from scratch and don't worry about what other techs have done. Now if another car comes from that shop, don't need to call to see what they have already done. Voltage drop grounds as opposed to cleaning grounds. Of course, there are known bad grounds but only experienced techs will know this as an old school Honda Thermostat housing ground. Another great video and nice family and dinner.
