Welcome to Zero Fuel Required, my name is Christian. Whether I have a camera recording or not. I work on projects all the time. I like to help other people by making instructional repair videos. I try to be as thorough as possible, showing step by step, how to get the job done right and the materials needed for the project. So, it doesn't matter if you have little to no knowledge at all, following my videos will help you get the repair done right. I work on a wide variety of things from appliances, to kids stuff, to home repairs, to a wide range of car repairs, from a simple oil change to a ground up restoration. If you like to do things yourself, you'll want to subscribe to my channel, because you never know what I am going to do next.

The screws won't get any tighter and yet it still won't work. I guess I got the bad end of the stick.
@justadonut1 make sure you've got power going to your washer from the outlet. Double check a breaker didn't trip in the electrical panel or if the outlet is a GFI outlet that it didn't trip and shut off the power to the washer. If you didn't get lucky with the screws being loose. Were your screws on the lid loose to begin with? If they weren't, the switch could've failed. With the lid open, double check to see if you can hear the switch make a very quiet click sound when you carefully close the lid. Open and close it a few times, listening for a click. If you can't hear it, try pressing on the lid like I did in the video to see if it starts the washer. There's a possibility the switch failed, or the metal arm got slightly bent from throwing something heavy on the lid. If it starts by pressing on the lid. Something is out of wack and you would have to unplug the washer and take it apart to fix it(bend something associated with the switch). Which is something i don't have a video for and if it's beyond your capabilities. You might have to call a repairman. This washer is one of the better direct drive washers made. A very reliable washer. I hope this helps. Thanks for the comment.
Maybe a far reach, but i have trouble with my left side turn signal lights staying solid, including the indicator in the dashboard. But the right side works as normal. Is there two relays? Or can one bad create this problem?
Mom's had the same issue. I was worried it could be the compressor going out. Found this video looking up how to take it apart to check the cap. Hopefully it just needs cleaned, that would be even better than if it was the cap.
Doing mine right now. I broke one of the ears off of my fuel regulator housing, so had to get another. FYI, Oreily's has the Dorman kit ( 904-458 was about $58 ) which includes the 2 o-rings, housing, internal parts, etc, and for kicks and grins, I looked up and Dorman also has the fuel shutoff kit as well ( 904-202 for about $32 ). Rock Auto also has an Ultra-Power one for $24. Good to know if the unthinkable happens!
@bryantbaecht1579 I like the fluorosilicone o-rings and hopefully it'll be a long time before I have to rebuild it again. It's good to know the parts are easy to find other places. Thanks for the comment and for the info. Good luck on your project.
@@ZeroFuelRequired Thank you and thank you for the videos! They are a great source of good info!
@@bryantbaecht1579 you're welcome. Thank you for watching.
Worked perfectly for me on a Power Flow Matrix
Thanks for this, saved me a lot of trouble!
This worked great thanks for making this video
@@brianroadnight7813 I'm glad my video could help. Thank you for the comment.
Nicely explained and thorough. Thanks for posting this.
All I can say is, "Thank You for the video". I need to get this done and have put it off for too long.
Wow it worked ✌️👌👌
Thanks! Very helpful.
Nope, mines’s not there
Totally worked! One screw missing. Thanks for saving me hundreds on a repair call.
I can not get that stupid cover off on the inside. My goodness.
@slulions07 you need some good thumb index finger strength to get it to release. If not, you might have to pull the radio out to give yourself a different angle of attack. You'll get it. Thanks for watching and Good luck!
@@ZeroFuelRequired I finally got it off and put the new fuse in. I gave up on putting the cover back on though. I might try again in a few days. I ended up using one of my kids diapers (a clean one obviously) to help prevent getting cuts on my arm.
@slulions07 ha ha, clean diaper 🤣👍. That's cool. Whatever works. Know anyone with kids? They have smaller arms and can reach in there much easier than we can to put the cover back on. Preferably not a kid in diapers 🤣.
Did this today after watching your video. I used a small hand-towel as a cushion - still scratched my arm up! THANK YOU!
Do you know what would be a good replacement for the black nuts for the rear metal strip that requirethe 13 mm wrench? Just bought a convertible and im missing nuts but the also put that piece in wrong
What model is this washer it's exactly like mine I'm trying to fix it now
Hot tires is an understatment. My 2000 V10 on a hot day going slow off pavement makes them untouchable. There is no sticker on the 1st year Excusion, not that anyone reads stickers. Gloves.
you dont happen to know what the other relay ( not flasher) is ?
I'm pretty certain it's the fuel pump relay. Dumb location for any relay. The designers should have been fired.
@@ZeroFuelRequired what exact year is yours, your lucky then, my 2003 f250 5.4 has a fuel pump relay built into the circuit board on the fuse box and no othe relay next to flasher. makes me think wtf did they change it to that then !!!!!!
@@brianblithe2271 mine black excursion in the video is an early 2000, I never looked at my blue 2003 to see where the fuel relay is at.
Worked for me - thanks!
I'm glad my video helped. Thank you for the comment.
Had one of my migos work on my house, and as he was cleaning up showed me the wonders of pressure washing the leaves. You really only need the Jet tip for your Hose and it worked perfectly
Thanks! I put in the part you recommended but my cruise control still didn’t work. I checked the fuse in the dash under the steering wheel but it was fine. After I removed the added wire harness with fuse (from the recall) and replaced it with the wire connector from the part you suggested, everything worked (except the cruise light in my dash display). Thanks again for your help!
The light on the dash may be burnt out and just need a new bulb. I'm glad my video could help. Thanks for the comment.
Thank you - saved another heater and ~$350 - $2k. DH soldered the connections - he didn't see any cracks, but soldered them for good measure, reinstalled it, and it fired right up and has continue. We went without it all last year because he wasn't sure what to do.
I'm glad my video helped. Thank you for the comment.
this was the best overview of the problem that i was having after almost 2 years of searching. I finally forced myself to watch the entire thing, make notes and actually fixed my heater. My problem was that the control board (like yours) had some broken solder connections. I'm too stubborn to buy a new heater, or even throw parts at it. Thank you for the helpful video.
I'm glad my video could help. Thank you for your comment.
Just figured this out for myself. I wished I’d found this video years ago though. Thanks.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! My mom's Whirlpool just stopped mid-wash and I couldn't figure out what the issue was. You are the best with this simple explanation!
I'm glad my video helped. Thank you for the comment.
You just saved me !
I'm glad my video helped. Thank you for the comment.
My brake fluid is full but my cruise control still isn’t working…..
Good video,thanks for sticking with it
THANK YOU! Granted I scrapped the hell out of my arm (even with 3 layers of duct tape), but it was easier than the other ways I had seen.
Sorry to hear about your arm lol. But I'm glad my video helped anyway. Thank you for the comment.
best video on the flasher relay! thanks
Thank you for the comment.
This is what I was looking for! Now to get a relay!
Great video
Thank you for the comment.
I did that now it working thank you
I'm glad my video helped. Thank you for the comment.
Thank you! Very helpful I didn't believe at first.... I thought we're being sensitive about the tape but it cut me up good. 😄 🤣 😂
🤣🤣 well, I'm glad my video helped. Thanks for the comment.
Thank you. I just seen it leaking but I had no idea that it is my cruise control. I just thought me cruise control didn’t work for years
Waiting for it to be back in stock. Ugh
Before: Call repairman or just order a new machine. Watched 6 years after post: Fixed in 2 minutes. Unbelievable! Thanks
Ha ha 😂 I'm glad my video helped. Thank you for the comment.
Gonna try too. I've noticed some noisy spin cycles that sound like your lid
Great video
Thank you for the comment.
Thank you!
yes...thank you.
I'm glad my video could help. Thank you for the comment.
Great video! So, you put 35" wheels on. Is your Ford a 4x4? Do you think with a 2" suspension lift there would be no rubbing issue with 35"s? Alternatively, without a 2" suspension lift (so, in factory condition), would 33" wheels fit without rubbing issue? I like the new rims, what's the brand? Many thanks!
Factory rims and tires in the video that I replaced are approximately 33 inch they have plenty of room. The 2013 king ranch 20 inch rims & tires, the tires are approximately 35 inch in diameter. You need 2 inch hub centric spacers on all 4 wheels to run the newer rims. This video my Excursion is 4x4 with the original springs and ride height. The modifications I made to the bottom edges of the bumper and the back of the wheelwell plastic gave plenty of room for clearance. A 2 inch suspension lift would probably give plenty of clearance. Since I made this video I've replaced the springs front and rear because a front spring had break a leaf. I found a set of F-250 4x4 offroad springs front and rear used for $100. Installed they raised my Excursion almost 4 inches over the height you see in this video. If you upgrade your wheels and install 2 inch spacer you have to shorten the all studs on the axles so they don't touch the rim or drill out the back of the rim a little bit so they don't touch the rim. Sounds silly but when the spacers are installed the orginal studs on the axles sticks out a fraction of an inch. Putting the rim on tight the rim stops on the studs and doesn't mate with the spacers. The the rims are floating on the original axle struds and will weaken the studs on the spacers, breaking and possibly losing a wheel going down the road. You'll see. After that's fixed torque the spacers abs torque the rims. Drive 50 miles. Take the rims off check the torque on the spacers. Put the rims back on and torque them. Recheck the rim torque in 50 miles. Every tire rotation, when you rotate the rims & tires, torque them, run 50 miles and recheck the torque. I've done this for years and never had a problem. I regularly tow 8500 lbs. I hope this helps and good luck.
@@ZeroFuelRequired Thank you very much, this is very helpful! I think I'll go for a 2 inch suspension lift and put 35 inch wheels. Thanks again!
Does anyone know mine screen went black wont turn on is there a fuse maybe that is blown ? Or do i need to replace completely
Check the fuse. Does it have power? Is it turned on? Check if on incorrect input. Is there sound, like it's playing, but the screen is blank? Try shining a flashlight into the screen to see if there is an image that's playing. My manual say to check the follownig fuse locations at the Central Junction Box: 32 (20A). 11 (20A). 42 (15A). 16 (15A). Other than that it's a diagnosis for different points and the voltages. Might have to pull out the front stock stereo and make sure both plugs are connected and secure. Pull the overhead down to gain access to the back of the DVD/media center to double check the harness plug/s in and secure.. One minor point, are you trying to activate the system with a remote control? If so, are the batteries good? It's difficult to diagnose over the internet. If this is beyond your capabilities, replacement with a working unit or upgrade to something else might be an option. Check these things and Let me know how you make out.
Great video. Helped me resolve my fuel leak issues.
Thank you for the comment. Glad my video helped 😊👍
First I changed the turn signal switch and it didn't help it continued the same until I saw your video. Thanks,I did it under the steering wheel and it was much easier and faster
