I'm only 2 minutes in and he's already providing false information. With a dead 12V battery, energize the leads in the front bumper and then enter the door code to open the door? That's not how that works.

I must have missed that. Do you happen to have a time stamp?

ah ok! I totally glossed over the fact he said you can unlock the door after jumping those leads. I've never actually tried it, but yeah I thought those were only to open the hood.

In practicality, it doesn't really matter. But it really bugs me when people who are "experts" in the field are going out of their way to make informational videos and end up providing false information. If that part is wrong, how can the rest of the information be trusted?

I tend to not watch 99.9% of videos.

I also tend to immediately mark threads pushing those videos as "Ignore". And, lastly, if someone's sole purpose on being on a forum is to push videos, I again use the "Ignore" feature.
