This week on the show I share a case study from a 2017 F-150 3.5L that is a crank- no start. The problem ends up being intermittent in nature and ends up starting for us during test both times we visit it, but we take a unexpected turn that ends up leading us to the solution.

This week on the show I walk you through diagnosing a C2206 setting in the 4x4 module of a Jeep Liberty. The transfer case is stuck in 4 wheel drive and the shop has replaced several components in attempts to fix without results. This code pertains to a configuration error with one of the modules on the network, but a restore configuration, VIN check, & part number check all come up with no issues. How do we solve this?
