@carolinaherrera60348 күн бұрын
I literally did step by step and all went flawless. But then i installed battery and no power. I got new battery and no power. Did I move something? I don't think solenoid could cause no power right?
@minutemaintenance73858 күн бұрын
Hey thanks for watching, I'm so sorry you're having this issue. By no power I'm assuming you mean zero electricity/power to the vehicle? The solenoid as you mentioned wouldn't be responsible for that you would still be able to start the car, operate radio etc..if you're having zero electrical power the only possibility is a bad connection. Make sure the battery cables are clean of debris, build up, greenish/yellow battery acid etc using a wire brush or steel wool then make sure they're fully tightened onto the battery. If that checks out follow the battery cables to where they connect onto the vehicle to make sure they are still fully connected on both ends. To the right of the battery is the fuse box where the red/positive cable connects into the circuit system..pop that cover and make sure the cable is still fully connected then check the manual to see which fuses/relays are in charge of the power/battery/electrical system and pull those and see if there are any obvious signs of damage, broken wire inside or burning..if you're not sure if a fuse is good you can swap it with another fuse/relay or equal amperage but is used for a lesser important process..i.e. radio or power steering fuse..to see if theres any change in the system, that'll at least help you verify if the fuse is bad or not. Hope this helps, good luck and Happy Wrenching!

THANKS! my explorer broke down last night, one of the Rear metal lines snapped off....dumped ALL of the coolant in a matter of seconds while driving down the road! Heard the fan kick on crazy Loud, then Temp gauge pegged out, pulled over, noticed coolant under the rear, and saw the broken line, Luckily I was able to pry out the broken piece of metal pipe from the rubber line, then reattach the rubber line to the remaining metal line, Lol. I was near an autozone, so had to walk to get 2 gallons of coolant......what a stupid design, it's getting bypassed since it's a weekend beater for me.....I couldn't believe what I was looking at when I got under the truck, Lol.

Hey thanks for watching! Without seeing your vehicle it's very difficult to give any real advice. Sounds like it's an electrical problem. Best thing to do is go to your local shop and have it diagnosed so you can make informed decisions on repairs. But in lieu of doing that, if it's my vehicle 1st thing I'd do is check my battery connection..make sure its solid and free of obstructions (battery acid, rust, debris etc) then I'd take the battery to a local shop or auto parts store to have it tested make sure it can receive and maintain a proper charge, some batteries are fine stationary but fail under load. A bad battery or connection could cause the issues described but it's not a guarantee. Good luck and happy wrenching.

You should only use genuine OEM Ford CVT transmission fluid in the Freestyle and Five hundred CVT transmissions. Also you shouldn't use any of those snake oil Lucas products. There's a reason that only transmission fluid goes into a transmission and engine oil only goes into an engine. Don't use additives as they can actually cause more damage.

Observations (great video overall) Those "washers" that you didn't know what they were for and clipped them off? They are what holds the dust cover over the plate, which you ripped off leaving those still on. When you put it back on, the washers were discarded it's just a matter of time before it falls off while driving. Worst of all you removed the pan from the 62TE side wall and just placed it back on the tranny when done, no attention to making sure the gasket was still viable. After 150k miles I promise you it wasn't, and now it'll leak tranny fluid until she brings it back to you to pay for repairs you caused.

Hey thanks for watching! Thankfully none of that happened! I fixed a few other issues on the van over the next year she had it (she unfortunately got into an accident and it totaled out but thankfully she and Hers were unharmed and not at fault so upgraded). Never had any leaks, cover stayed in place, never had any complaints! New gaskets are always a good idea but aren't always needed case in point my 52' Chevy barn find..Sat since 83' , towed it home...simple tune up, fluid flush, carb rebuild and wiring fixes due to mice and ran great never leaked and had original gaskets (at least from 83' as I never changed em). Good rule of thumb to swap gaskets but as this is a "how to get back on road for minimal cost/tools for the average soccer mom" channel...I operate from the motto of "if it stays, it plays". Plus..with routine maintenance and operating temperatures gaskets don't degrade as readily as ppl think in my experience! Thanks for watching! And Happy Wrenching!

Use 3M dry silicone spray on the silicone rubber seals to aid reassembly. You will be amazed how smoothly they connect back together when the connectors are clean and lubricated. do not use dielectric grease this will collect dirt and push the seal out of place and allow water to corrode the terminals. Before disconnecting use water or windex to remove the dirt and mud from the weatherpack connectors and blow it off with compressed air. repeat if necessary because we all know how difficult they can be to disconnect when dirty. Don't forget the DRY SILICONE SPRAY before reassembly. I learned this from working at the ford dealership.

I did notice a small difference with on road driving with the new shocks, but my old ones were blown so that makes a big difference. I mostly upgraded for when I take it off road. I may weld them later when I add a bypass, but for now being bolted on is completely fine!

There's a much better, faster, and easier way to fill the transmission fluid using a device that hooks up to an air compressor. It has a housing that looks like a clear whole house water filter housing. That's the best way I can describe it. Also, you can avoid all the mess on the floor by using one of those big plastic containers that are used for mixing concrete in. They're cheap and any big box hardware store has them.
