5. 2001 Honda Civic does have dedicated fuses for each window. 20A each. however, the common circuit between all windows is the master switch in the driver's door. I would check the switch and the loom running between the door and chassis as Eric suggested.

13. Hi Eric , I liked your comment about using starter fluid near a hot motor , I think you should do a video on, " copying and not listing or reading the small print " example – I was spraying my VW chassis with doubled boiled linseed oil , my neighbour was watching , I told him it' very dangerous , only do it if your not using the car for a week or two, " he copied , his wife sent him out for milk , two days later he had a new car , old one whet up in Smoke.

15. Greetings from Trinidad

16. I miss my 4.3 Vortec. Wanted to do a swap in my 2000 Chevy Camaro 3.8, but found out a v8 would of been a better suit for the hassle.

17. I do have a question about my air in a Honda Accord

18. Cut your hair

19. Hi Eric,
    98 Honda Accord with ABS.
    Bled the brakes and no matter how much I pump I hear a it in the line. are the seals blown on the ABS module?

20. just a bit of feedback, I'm getting plenty of static after a while of watching this video. Might be an issue with the mic.

21. Hey Eric more honda Element videos Plz like how to diagnose a p0011

22. You mention that Carfax only reports collision damage or repairs, this is not true. Some (and I stress the word "some") dealerships and shops actually DO report all maintenance and repairs to Carfax, along with the date a mileage at the time of repair. But like you said, its always best to actually inspect the vehicle instead of relying on maintenance records. Vehicles with zero records can be in better condition than a car that has had every oil change and repair at a dealership since purchased new.

23. 2010 kia soul 60k brought in notice a exhaust leak at flex tube the cars symptoms are only in declaration around 1900rmps the car has a quick slight miss costumer says the car has slight power lose on highway fuel trim is great o2s readings look like a new car fuel pressure is great could a exhaust leak cause this to be clear it only happens when you let off the throttle and on its way down around 1800 rmps it misses real quick it does it everytime in park or not other then that car runs great any ideas and if it could be the exhaust system how do I verify and test no codes come up ether I did the basic test but I'm stumbled and out of ideals and don't want to call it as exhaust unless I'm at least 95% sure

24. Damn! It's finally birthday and no ETCG1 video! haha

25. Eric if you unplug and plug your mic back into the computer just before you start it should stop the crackly mic issue. It's what the tech podcast community refers to as "cyloning" It's a known issue that happens with some usb mic logic boards after about an hour or so of use.

26. Romania is watching you 🙂

27. Hi Eric, thanks for answering my question, and one a side note at 8:44 into the video stream the audio has crackling in it to the end. you can hear your voice ok but like you might has a dodgy mic wire or bad connection. Keep up the good work. Dave

28. can someone tell me if a exhaust leak at flex pipe cause a hiccup when deceleration

29. One of my fav things about ETCG is his realism.

30. First 0:15 was awkward

31. Eric I am a shop owner and I just wanted to tell you how much I love your video's they are required watching for my crew. I think your ethics and honesty have been returning integrity back to this profession. Keep it up my automotive brother. We love it.

32. Hi Eric, Thank you for helping car owners. God bless…from Canada…eh 🙂

33. 1999 Acura CL2,3 I could hear the starter but not motor an the timing belt turning. any suggestions

34. I can hear you

35. Regarding remote starters, I figure it's always a good idea to see if the factory offers one.  I know a lot of manufacturers offer a remote starter as an option, but I don't know if they can be retrofitted.  Could be worth a look – and should be more reliable (or at least, easier to diagnose and fix) than something aftermarket.

36. my rear signals doesnt work fuse pop when inserted what should I do

37. Dam Eric. You lost a lot of weight. Hopefully it's due to good health.

38. Audio Degrades @ 8:43.
