TikTok user @scottykilmerofficial opens the car’s bonnet and asks viewers: “What’s the first thing you do with your computer at home when it goes bad?”
“You turn it off and then turn it back on again. Then loosen the negative battery terminal, get a rag and pull it off.
“Then turn the headlights on. Of course, the headlights won’t come on, but that will drain any electricity out of the computer circuits.
“Then put it back on and tighten it up.”
The mechanic says that doing this will set it back to its factory settings and can actually fix minor problems in your motor.
He continued: “Sometimes fixing your car is that easy.”
The video has gone viral on TikTok – with more than 180,000 views and 1130 comments.

A third pointed out: “Hey man, it’s really cool that you do this; I’m learning more on your page than I’ve been taught by anyone.”
