Another great video Eric, as an electrical technician in a hospital I have an old saying, "Five minutes with your head, can save an hour with your hands". Think about what it is you are there to repair, digest all the information you have and ask questions. I would say the Verdigris on that relay is the result of that window being left open as a shower of rain came past in the wrong direction and made its way into the A pillar fuse box, corroding that relays pins out. A couple of years ago I did an 11 state tour of the USA and took a trip to the Ford plant in Detroit where I saw the F-150's being assembled, I can tell ya the dash goes in on a gig and two guys secure it up in under two minutes, that fuse-box is already part of the dash and at best they just plug the connectors together before the truck moves along the line, nobody in the plant bent backwards to access it the way you were!! I drive a Ford Mondeo (Ford Fusion in the USA) and the inside fuse-box is under the dash in a similar place, the good ole G-spot is easier to get your fingers on.

Sure is fun to go back in time and revisit old videos of yours. Your procedures haven't changed, a bit more complete today perhaps, but still logical and thorough. Don't ever change. Thanks for sharing.

All future mechanics need to listen to this guy. The fancy tool doesn’t tell you what’s wrong with the car. The fancy tool only tells you what’s being affected by what’s wrong. From there you have to start analyzing the data stream and doing proper troubleshooting. All I can say is I wish I had a mechanic like this where I live. He knows his stuff!

Eric, I've watched many of your videos and have quite an admiration of your skills, patience and knowledge (and humor). I've practiced electronics for over for over 60 years, examined dozens (if not hundreds) of relays and of the very strong opinion your relay corrosion was generated by a front pillar/windshield/cowl leak (salt water). Relays don't self destruct in the manner that was shown. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and time with us 'wannbe' shade tree mechanics!

It only happens every now and then and it goes away when I try to crank it over like a million times. Now I know what the problem is and I'll be changing that relay.

This is a classic case of needing to keep it simple. Really cool seeing a diagnostic that isn't running around the vehicle looking at everything at once. Start from the bottom and work your way up. Keep up the great videos!

You proved once again that a code scanner combined with a test light is many times more than enough to diagnose even the most puzzling problems. Great video.

Eric, I have been frustrated with my 2012 3.5L EcoBoost for the last month. It has been intermittently starting after driving for about an hour with multiple stops and restarts. Then turn the key or remote start and get nothing but dash board lights?? But if I lock it up and let it cool down for 10 to 20 minutes then it fires right up. I suspected fuse or relay to the PCM. When I watched you diagnos the 2006 f150, PCM main relay video, I just went to Ford parts and bought a new relay for $7.12 problem solved. Though my relay was located in the engine compartment above the radiator it still controlled the PCM according to my owners manual. Thanks a million. You are a genius 😊

Excellent work. You can tell that you care the way you explain and move camera around. I was on the edge of my seat to when that relay was triggered once for a start with your test light...dang that was fun. Subscribing now!!

I know this is an old post but sure helped me out today. I had a no-crank, no-start, flashing antitheft light condition on my 2004 Ford F150. In the past I was able to get the truck to start with the "key on-unlock three times, key off-unlock three times, key on" dance but this time it flat would not work. My scanner was telling me the PCM was not responding. I checked the different ground connections and they were all good (cleaned them up anyway). Then I watched this video, ran the same test light tests, and swapped the fog lamp relay into the PCM power slot and BAM! my truck started right up. Thank you so much!

I would love to see their faces when they watch your video and see what a simple cause it was?

Sorry to have such a late replay. I have seen this same kind of corrosion on a device we use at work to test thermal imagers. We used to use a diluted dishwasher soap as a vacuum leak test chamber as a quality check. There is a power module in this unit that has a connector with spade pins. After several days one of the pins that provided communication would corrode with green crust and cause failure in the mech. These pins werent on the power circuit, however; during the test there was a electrical bias on this line. The problem was that dishwashing detergent has a lot of phosphates that will corrode copper when an electrical bias is applied. We ended up switching to a non-corrosive detect like "snoop" which stopped this from happening. probably similar situation with the relay in this car. Awesome work. I watch you all the time to help me on my vehicles. You do great work.

Damn nice job Mr. O......you da man !.....and yes, I've done the exhaust manifolds on the 05's and up......totally sucks....price em' out the door...

Great job Eric, I may have the same problem with my 1999 Ranger !

BOOOM! Just fixed my 2007 F150 5.4 with identical problem. Shop said starter, I said no way. Why can’t I hear my fuel pump if it was just the starter? Towed the truck home, and after 2 days of google and YouTubing search I found your video kind sir. I RAN to the truck to swap relays. Sure enough, Vrooom She instantly fired up. Your video saved me at least $1000 and multiple tows to different mechanics. Soon as I heard that Ford chime in your video I knew you found the culprit. Thank you thank you. Just FYI we had some fairly cold weather recently and I had used my pickup to jump my semi truck. Took an hour on the jumper cables to get her started. Pretty sure I overheated plenty of the electrical system to cause that relay to go bad...

Great video Eric. Btw from watching this video before hand a while back I learned a few thing's. Well what I learned came in practice when I had a newer freightliner cascadia with a no left turn signals out of the seven way light cord. Well I check power at the relay and got my normal powers and grounds. But my fuse was dead so when the relay clicks on and off my fuse would flash with the test light. That's normal and my relay was clicking and not transferring power. So I pulled the relay back out. Stuck another relay in its place and the turn signals started working. Something relay clicked fine but wasn't transferring power to light my test light at the end of the 7 way. Same relay style in this video is used on that freightliner cascadia. Well I didn't have a relay right away. So I pulled the horn relay out of the 97 dodge ram shop truck. Hahahaha. Thanks Eric and happy new year

We energize the Control Side of the Relay- and at the same time check for (0) ohms on the Load side. This is the best way to check the Relay. I learned this from ASE Master Jason Varnum.

I really like these diagnosis videos best, and it just struck me that now I can go back a few years for a repeat watch. I remember this truck, but didn't remember the solution to the mystery. Two things aren't mysteries; first, the engineers who put fuse boxes under the dash are stupid, and second, Eric is the man.

@@pigeonsil240sx This is a part of a more general complaint with car makers who make cars today seemingly with little consideration for maintenance and repair. Twenty computer modules, inaccessible spark plugs, water pumps inside the block, and fuse panels under the dash. Put the panel on the side of the dash. Things are too hard to work on because the mechanicals are stuffed inside the styling. Back in the day changing a water pump was fast and easy; blower motor, simple as pie. Try changing a blower motor now. First, it will take two hours to sort through the computers to verify the fault, then five more hours to disassemble the whole dash. Cars are better, and more reliable now, probably designed to last for six trouble free years. But then they want you to buy a new car. Many folks like me have traded in cars because the cost of repair didn't warrant keeping it.

And we appreciate your taking the time to explain in detail how do you approach your research.
