Hard to believe, especially since we have YouTube — the greatest DIY resource ever invented. For any DIY job, I now consult YouTube first.

So true; I’d recommend checking out YouTube for anything (especially car or home repairs) before paying a professional.

One of our cars had an airbag light turn on, and it can’t be ignored; it won’t deploy in an accident. Looked it up on YouTube, and some guy described how moving the seat had loosened the connection underneath; he recommended pushing all the connections together, and it worked like a charm.

Do you know how much we’d pay to have that addressed by a mechanic/dealer?

This is what drives me crazy. In all of human civilization, there has never been a time when valuable knowledge was so inexpensive, freely available, and easily acquired - nothing even -remotely- close to the present. Yet...look around. Complete idiots everywhere - many with advanced soft science degrees.

Youtube is a great way to find out something is way more effort than I want to put into it.
