Head to https://squarespace.com/richrebuilds to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code RICHREBUILDS I bought a dead $80,000 Cadillac ELR for just $3,500… and today, we finally figure out why this hybrid luxury car refused to start its generator. This video is a full deep dive: battery testing, hybrid diagnostics, the mode switch repair, chasing voltage drops, and discovering the real reason the ELR wouldn’t kick the gas engine on. At one point I even broke out sandpaper, and somehow… that actually helped us find the problem faster. After weeks of hunting, the Cadillac finally comes back to life For sponsorship inquiries contact us here - [email protected] For other EV issues/questions - [email protected] My E-mail: [email protected] Instagram: / richiebkidd Mailbox: Rich Rebuilds P.O.
