Chasing an Electrical Issue Alternator / Must Watch Vid For Wiring Issues!

I stumbled on this Vid Yesterday and it Really Struck Me Just How Critical One Little Bad Connection Can Be! So Next Time You Are Chasing a Gremlin Remember This! Cleaning Connections are Something I Advise All the Time and I Don't Think it's Taken as Seriously as it Should! Because of The Amount of Wires on These New Vehicles They are Much Smaller Than Days Gone By! When it Comes To Wiring Be Gentle and Keep Things Clean!

Realize You are Working With a PC on Wheels These Days!

Use Contact Cleaner For Repairs!


Amazon Amazon

So Here You Go! If You Don't Want to Watch the Whole Thing Go To Vid Two!

Am I Just Wasting My Time Here?

Now That is a Tech! Not Just a Parts Changer!


Lincoln & The Lincoln Dealer Should Be Ashamed For Their Treatment of Owner & Refusal To At Least Pay For Repairs!

Surely Would Have Been Money Well Spent after This Vid Circulates!

Now I Hope Your Takeaway From This is Just How Clean & Tight Things Need To Be On These Late Model Electrical Systems & How Slowly & Gently You Need To Handle You Affected Connections When Performing Repairs!

It's easy to jump to replacing components, but thoroughly cleaning and securing all the grounds and power connections is often the first, most effective step. It saves a lot of headaches https://tropical-casino.com/ and money. Thanks for sharing the reminder and the video; it's definitely not a waste of time to highlight good diagnostic practices.
