Great, thanks for this.
Glad you liked it. Thanks for sharing.
Your video came up when I searched about poor fan power in a Highlander. The dash was also shuddering when the fan was turned on. Spent 20 minutes upside down under the dash, removed the screws, and found the fan was chock-full of a mouse nest. Putting the fan back in place was a little fussy, but now it's working great. Thanks! You saved me a trip to the mechanic and a couple hundred bucks I bet.
You're welcome, I'm glad I could help. Congrats on getting that nest out of there and thanks for sharing.
Replaced the cabin air filter today as step two. The mice had chewed a 3 inch diameter hole in the old one on their way to nesting in the fan! Thanks again.
Well done. Glad the video helped.
I did this in 08 Yukon 5.3 vortec my old one when filled would leak a little bit but once full it would stop and hold confused I bought a new one only to discover same exact thing hmm odd maybe that’s how they breath but it’s in the bottom corner somewhere does anybody notice this or just me ? Again once filled the don’t leak it’s very weird . Normal?
It's super common for replacement tanks to leak due to the casting error that I show in the video 2:13 . That's why I highly recommend smoothing that lower hose tube so it gets a better seal on the lower hose. When the lower hose tube leaks, it runs down under coolant tank and is often mistaken for a tank leak.
Thank you so much. My wife just passed away I'm gathering up photos from old phones that's been collected over the years
Great video. When you found the leak, I immediately thought “I’d JB weld that”. I’m glad to see you did exactly that lol. I appreciate the video and narrative. Thank you
Glad I could help. Thanks for sharing.
Very informative and detailed instructions given and I appreciate this just wondering if this will fix the rough idle as well
Dude such a life saver I changed 1 cylinder or 3 what ever it is and must of knocked that sensor I realized my compressor was out and my temp gage was at no heat response of warming up went back check this sensor thing and bam I have a/c again and my temp gage back good thanks bro u Def a life saver I thought my compressor went out all of a sudden and it's 110 here in texas life saver man would of hated going to work in the morning with this problem I couldn't figure out but by ur vid ur Def a hero in my book thanks again😅
Glad I could help and congrats on finding and fixing. Thanks for sharing.
Life saver. Cheers bud
a few drops of Structalit on the corners of the aux jack to the PCB will keep it from failing again. home Depot version: liquid nails, almost exactly the same properties.
I bought the replacement and am prepared to do so. I do have a question; what’s the hole at the bottom of the reservoir for?
The bottles are designed with a place for a level sensor but they don't use one on most of the vehicles including the one in the video. Since it doesn't penetrate the tank, there's no need to eliminate it on some bottles. With level marks on the bottle, there's no need for a level sensor. Enjoy the install.
@@ScubaMoto thanks a lot. The install was so easy
Once changed, how to reset the mileage of the transmission fluid?
Since they recommend fluid for life, they do not have and did not program a maintenance interval into the ECM.
Thank you for this great video 👍👍👍
I'm glad it helped. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for making this video, I found it extremely helpful....also thanks for putting the link for the items on Amazon's site. You saved me lots of research time!
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for sharing.
Do I need to remove the grill to take the bumper off?
The grille removal is so easy, I didn't think twice about the improved access I would have with it out of the way. Those top bolts are much easier to access if you do, but I suppose it's a personal preference
@@ScubaMoto ok thank you 👍
Dear sir thanks!
You are an absolute JEWEL to us! Thank you so much for this super helpful video. After following your directions, not only is my cup holder finally unstuck, it's turbo-charging outward! You're the best!!!
I'm glad it helped and congrats on a good repair. Thanks for sharing.
thank you

Would a bad sensor cause the car to run hot? I changed thermostat
Since you just replaced the Thermostat (T-Stat), that is the problem. Someone likely sold you a 160 or 170 degree T-Stat. The dash warning "Engine Hot A/C Turned Off" makes it sound like the engine is hot but it's usually just the opposite. When a thermostat is old it gets stuck open. When they are stuck open, the engine cannot get hot enough. It needs to reach 190 for the computer to know it's warmed up. If it stays below that for too long, you end up with this warning. The usual fix is to replace the T-Stat with a fresh 190 degree one. Since this happened right after your replacement, I'm almost sure they sold you too low a temp T-Stat. Your dash temp gauge should also be disabled and your cooling fans are likely stuck on. If you have the box the new T-Stat came in, it should tell you what temp rating it has; or the place that sold it might be able to confirm it was 180 or below. These vehicles need 190 T-stats or they trigger the fault code. I hope that helps.
God bless America and only America l, thank you you’re a true patriot Trump 2024
Great Video. Best I have seen...
Appreciate that
Good video Thanks ! Just what I needed !
Glad it helped. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much

Great🎉
Thanks 😄
Just replaced my Mini bulb. Excellent video.
Glad it helped. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much. You are the MAN
Glad I could help. Thanks for sharing.
Thankyou for showing me how to fix it! Going to give it a whirl...I hope I can solder it correctly without the four points touching each other at the end...😕
I'm not much of a gambler. But I'd bet your soldering skills are better than my crappy skills shown in this video. When in doubt, use less solder. It's easy to put too much solder on there. There might even be enough there that you could just re-melt it and be good. I wanted to put a little extra because I knew it might vibrate loose again and create the same problem but I could have used less than shown in the video. And remember that you can always just plug it back in and test if your re-solder worked before doing a complete re-installation.
Thank you for the fantastic clear and concise video. I just replaced my parking lamp on a 2012 Clubman. WOW how easy was that,
Glad it helped and great job on getting it replaced. Thanks for sharing.
Great walk through. No wasted time. Appreciated!
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for the feedback.
Hey mate 🙌 will a Crow foot fit all 4 head bots Great video tutorial
Glad the video helped. Thanks for the comment. I haven't tried a crow foot on mine but that's because my crow foots are simple open end and I would never trust them for torque plus it's a tight quarters job and they're too fat around the nuts. Some crow foot look better than others. I might be ok with torqueing the ones that look like box wrenches but then you're basically talking about what I used in the video. Thanks for the comment and good luck with the job.
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
I had my wife wrap them with fabric.
Thank you goat ! Literally just did this at work saved customer from having to purchase new housing
Glad I could help. Thanks for sharing.
Great video, thanks
Glad I could help. Thanks for sharing.
This is amazing! This is my LAST summer with no AC 😂
Hi there, would it be the same oil for the r53 with the factory LSD?
The fluid in the video is a good GL4 and will work for your R53.
4:25 Fantastic, clear, precise video.
Glad it helped and thanks for the feedback.
Latex paint?
Yes. The same latex and color as the wall paint.
great video
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.
I wanna thank you tried to change my gf oil on her Toyota I busted my hand trying to take It off I tried a bar all well thanks to you I will get it off next time amd I def know her oil changes the filter was not changed for sure or last guy did a number
Glad I could help and congrats on getting the old filter off. Thanks for sharing.
@@ScubaMoto well I got two options the big socket with a wrench but jack it up more or the impact wrench I’ve also heard to tap it all around to unbreak that seal . But you’re video is good
Yeah, the impact wrench kind of takes care of all the tapping and gives the torque of a cheater bar while doing the tapping. That's why it works. I'd be surprised if a good 24-inch cheater bar wouldn't do it for you or maybe a pipe slipped over your ratchet.
@@ScubaMoto I have Ramps the issue is also the clearing for a good cheater bar etc may just use a impact wrench thanks
Genius idea
this might be my problem! thanks!
Really Really great review! Seriously, from your talking speed, clarity of voice perfect! Checking out the inside of the device, to see the basic things like the sotter fantastic! You didn't waste time with some forced comedy or memories of fifty years ago or whatever. And yes sometimes that can make a nice video but when you see every product review at 15 - 20 minutes it turns me off of wanting to click on it! Thanks I feel better using mine that was gifted to me without instructions. And yes even with them AGM mode is not explained! Also thanks for letting me / us know we didn't miss it while reading! 👍✌️🖖🏻😊
I'm glad you found the review useful and thanks much for the great feedback.
@ScubaMoto You know, stress out trying to repair budget things in my house. Got the HOA on my butt. And got all this drama going on. And your amount of information. And it's quality without any b s really helped not add to the mountain of crap going on in my life! But all these reviews they're not blowing smoke! You have a great day pass along some good thoughts my way. I could use some!✌️
And did I mention I need to sleep?Cause I'm exhausted and I'm babbling to complete strange. I apologize.
This is a very informative and complete video. Great job!
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome Will be trying this 🙌🏼
Great video! Unfortunately for me both the Sensor and the thermostat went out at the same time so I had to do both anyways!
Glad it helped. It's always good to replace the T-Stat first and let the code clear since this fault code disables the temp gauge making it appear that the temp sensor is bad. Good luck with the repair. Thanks for sharing.
5:15 ..."excessive" is fine to me. Nothing wrong there. Question: Did you use flux at all when you did the soldering? It seems like you may have since the solder didn't puddle off and stuck to the wires well....
Yes. I just use flux core.
My son and I replaced his after watching your video. Thanks for posting.
Glad I could help. Thanks for sharing.
Well great info. But this sucks for me. I’m in this spot at this very moment. But I don’t have impact tool. The last shop I went to must have really cranked it down to death.
I'll try to help you get it. Impact was actually my last resort but it did work after all else failed. Leverage is always the best choice to start with. But at minimum, you really do need to have that filter wrench with the cut-outs that is shown in the video. It's the only way you will be able to put the forces necessary on that factory filter housing. The filter housing wrenches are usually available at local parts counters but I've also got links in the video description that are cheap and will get the job done. If you have a couple feet of pipe that can slip over your ratchet handle to get extra leverage that usually works as good as a cheater bar (extended ratchet). I first tried a several foot long piece of pipe and it wouldn't budge. Impact works because it combines the torque of having leverage with the impact force that helps "bump" things loose. That combination is the last resort before destroying the housing for removal and installing a new one. I hope that helps. Good luck with it.
I like the dipstick hack trick to read the oil level. 0-20 weight oil is so hard to read on a dipstick when the oil is fresh.
I'm glad it helped. Thanks for sharing.
It's insane what the dealer charges for this service and an oil change. Simple and easy job when on the lift.
