2:10Powering up after weeks asleep leaves the van with the same parking-brake fault.
3:26A replacement key-fob battery clears the key-recognition prompt, but not the brake error.
8:48Rich tries a master software reset using the steering-wheel control and hazard button.
12:18Inspection moves underneath the van, where Rich examines and manually unwinds the rear parking-brake actuators.
19:21A helmet-wearing specialist joins the electronics investigation.

What does an upload break look like when the garage already has unfinished business? For Rich Rebuilds, it meant roughly 1.5 million views across the existing catalog, with the stubborn Amazon delivery van supplying the busiest repair story.

No new videos arrived this week. The channel's subscriber total held steady, following growth over the past month, while daily views are running well below their usual level.

The most active video remains "Rivian Built a $100,000 Van You Can't Fix Without Their Software… So I Bought One". Its appeal is a particularly awkward repair puzzle: the van powers on, recognizes its key and accepts a charge, but refuses to drive. Rich works through viewer-suggested fixes, from replacing the key-fob battery to resetting the software, before inspecting the parking-brake actuators. The episode also contains a sponsored segment.

That installment has reached roughly 3.7 million views. The auction Polestar story is the next busiest, while September's earlier Amazon van episode continues drawing attention too. With no fresh upload, the connection between those van chapters is especially clear: getting a vehicle to switch on is not the same as getting it back on the road.

Among nearby motoring channels, WD Detailing had a substantial week for views and added subscribers; VINwiki was quieter. Rich Rebuilds' own week belonged to the repairs already underway, rather than another vehicle arriving at the garage.
