South Main Auto: watching a real shop undo another shop's overcharge
Difficultyhard
Eric O. runs a shop in upstate New York and films actual customer cars. This one is a car that came from another shop with a big bill and the original problem still there. Best channel for learning diagnosis instead of parts-swapping. Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SouthMainAuto

Great find. Did not know this channel existed.
Right around what the post says, give or take shipping.
I did the same repair last month and your step 3 is where I got stuck. Wish I had this then.
Question: do you need to disconnect power for this or is it safe to leave it plugged in?
Nice. What did the whole thing end up costing you?
Bookmarking. I have exactly this problem and was about to pay someone.
Followed along, got it done in about twice the time quoted, but it is done and it works.
The embedded video is clearer than the official service manual, which is a little embarrassing for the manufacturer.
Unplug it. Always. Takes two seconds and the worst case otherwise is a trip to the ER.
