What's happening YouTube? Thanks for tuning back into the channel. Today we got the Duramax back in the shop We had a little bit of electrical issues over the last trip that we ended up taking up to Chicago I don't know if it was just the bad luck of Illinois or the bad jujoo that Mr. JRC had on the Duramax So made us some more content at least so we've got a couple of electrical issues One I had some turn signals go out and then I had my turn signal state On on the right side they wouldn't turn off at all and then I had an issue with the mass airflow That was a weird issue and then When I went to check that one out I went to pull the Hood handle and the hood cable broke of course, that's my luck So today we're going to be replacing the hood cable We're going to be doing some looking into our turn signal issues probably going to be a flasher issue is what I'm thinking So let's dive in and get into it So I got the grill apart preemptively here and it looks like our hood cable didn't break it just ended up stretching Uh, it's stretched way too much It wouldn't it wouldn't pull the arm over nearly enough from what it was supposed to be probably my fault for trying to pull on the Stupid handle when it was like two feet of snow and ice all packed into everything and yeah, so we're gonna get this thing Pulled apart here Clip it loose unclip it from a couple of the things we have it tied to in here and then When you guys do these hood cables what's your best friend is gonna be is some mechanics wire You're gonna want to tie it around the end here and then as you pull Your hood cable in To the inside of the vehicle you're gonna have some mechanics wire coming out this way So that way when you go to hook up your new one You can just tie on the mechanics wire to the end of the new hood cable pull it through the firewall easy peasy so we got our cable all Undone from the latch assembly and then for a little bit more visibility got some wire and electric tape it onto the end of the old cable So now we're going to just go inside Under the handle cable assembly all together pull it right on through so then we'll be pulling this nice red wire Right through our firewall to be able to pull back out through the new one when we take it on there just as easily So this specific one just has a handle that's tied on to the cable One single nuts able to take it off right there and then hopefully We'll just be able to kind of feed it through the firewall and pull it out back this way There we go now that we've put our pull our cable right on through and we've got this nice red cord here Where you to go and then we are going to just Tape the electrical tape the end of that one to the smaller end of our new cable and pull it right back on through the firewall So one of the other real points that I got into doing this video was because my turn signal stick and work It actually blew out my nice JDM A-star turn signal bulb here and really what the culprit was Are these stupid little resistors that I ended up putting in in an earlier video These things see if we can get it in focus here Got so hot That ended up melting plastic from a side um Little housing that was sitting against in there. They got super super hot So the load that this thing must have pulled was huge amount so it ended up Shorting out my bulb and shorting out my flash or two so my right flash or when I turn it on It actually just stays on even though the bulb is out also The flashers just stuck on right turn signal all the time even if I don't use it So now just because of these I've got to put in a new flasher and Gotta get rid of these things got to put in new bulbs Don't put these in guys They seem like cool little things to start off with but don't do it So instead you're gonna put one of these in This is an LM487 part number. This is a light module which is a flasher that is able to handle And call handle the LED light bulbs that we're gonna be putting back in Cause it to get rid of that flash fast issue that you would have with a normal bulb without having to have those hotter than shit Little resistors that we put in place. So we're gonna put some new bulbs in here And then inside I'm gonna show you exactly where your flasher is so you can swap this one out Also be putting a link down in the description below where exactly you can find this one I ended up getting on Amazon. It's like 40 50 bucks something like that You know just save yourself headache in the long run those resistors they were like 12 or 13 bucks before but Do a little bit more money put the right part in That would have been my fault on not going through with research But you live and you learn people So guys I took my lower dash panel off right here just with the screws underneath and then it pulls straight out And then on the backside of your fuse panel located right here This is actually your flasher relay right here. It just kind of plugs into the back. There's a A little retainer thing there You might have to end up getting a little pry tool take the top connector out Mine was stuck in there just a little bit But then you're able to just pull it on out Right there Turn our key on and then once we've got our new flasher I'll put in we can turn our turn signal on and Everything works just how it should Doesn't flash fast no need to have extra resistors Just our brand new flasher easy as that guys whole lot easier And just like that guys we've got our turn signals and flasher's working correctly just how they should So for future reference do not put the cheap $11 or resistors in line of your LED bulbs You're just gonna waste money later on so go ahead and get the special flasher for LEDs It's gonna save you money in the long run Well guys, it's been late enough of the day for me We've been here in the shop for going on 11 and a half hours now So time to go home and get some dinner If you guys like content like this one make sure you hit that thumbs up Make sure you subscribe and turn on that bell notification when you Get notified to come out with more cool content like this for you guys to enjoy I'll be coming out with lots more of it here soon We've got the tool heads crate as well.
