Default Re: Formal Training in Auto Electronics

The CAN BUS is far beyond the scope of what I offered. You can't talk to the average person about diagnosing the car using the CAN BUS when they have NO clue about electricity or electronics in general. Having said that, there is a guy on Youtube who does a TREMENDOUS job of explaining the CAN BUS both at the physical (layer 1) level and the higher levels. I had his stuff bookmarked on my old laptop, but have not tried to find him again, as I am far too busy with other stuff and have no interest right now in spending time learning it. Much of my 'down time' is spent on my Vulcan 2000 (mods and cosmetic stuff).

And with essentially NO response to my offer here, a CAN BUS offer would, I imagine, be even more of a waste of time. People do nott want to learn, look at our tech help threads here, most want to be just 'told what is wrong' and refuse to even help us help them. Such people are invited to take their car to the local Chrysler Dealer, where it won't get fixed, but maybe the dealer will give them $1500 off on a new car.

I learned a lot with this offer: I learned that the only help people REALLY want, is to be told on one sentence, what is wrong with their car, based on a poorly worded post on this forum. Once we all become mind-readers, we will be all set to help such people.
