how do you convert solar to power????? you dont explain that!!!!!! What a waste

you need to get a better Camera.... it's shaking like hjell... and the Picture Quality is really F***** .... this Fisheye distortion makes me sick !!!

I'm a single mom and I just took out the alternator thanks to your video! The part was in warranty so I had to take it in for free replacement, but I did it! I'm still waiting for the ordered part to be delivered, hopefully I can put it back on. Great video!

did you use a diode? does the size of transformer matter, depending on how lights you string together? too many questions, not enough answers.

Some of these comments 😂 Clowns, put some effort in at least. A quick read, educate yourselves. This guy has presented a good idea/ solution and explained the reasons behind doing it. Which are good reasons tstl! This is human wastefulness at its best. I would also include the environmental damage mining materials to make these crappy batteries, and the cost of shipping them around the world. Same arguments are valid regarding electric cars too. Dont believe everything the powers that be want us to believe. I at least appreciate this video and gave a like 👍 Nice one

Hell yeah good job I have a 79 that’s been sitting for 20+ years and now needs floor pans also .

Damn I’m pissed I just saw this and I have the whole axle assembly out on passenger side to come out the bottom

Hey i know completely odd question but the back glass could you make a video on it im not sure how to. Im missing the plastic piece following the back line of the window trim

Came here to learn how to convert to low voltage and all I got was rant how solar isn't cost effective. Wasted 10 mins of my life.

That Ion isn't missing any engine covers. I have a 2004 ION. Bought it new.

i got the same sled, nice condition for how old.

Rite on thanks for the information and taking time to do this. I have the exact same car and problem. But it's intermittent. Starts and runs fine then it won't start or at best just clicks when trying to start. I had the battery checked and it was good. I'm going to do what you have done. It's not 5 years later, has there been any updates on how this repair worked out?

Love the commentary. This isn’t just the tip of the whole renewable energy BS. The green freaks will never be able to comprehend how toxic EVs and home solar panels really are to manufacture, maintain, and dispose. Not to mention how expensive it is. Their virtue will always blind them of facts and logic Thanks for posting!

Man, getting that tension pulley wrench in place is a pain. Had to make my own tool.

I did the same to my solar powered lights but it only stayed on for about 10 seconds. What do you think I did wrong?

Gymnastics lmao

WOW, this documentary is awesome. Keep up the good work! Starting the same thing this week 1976 C3

So...10 minutes and you don't actually explain how to convert anything, except how much you hate charging batteries

Where did you find a throttle cable?

That was ten minutes wasted I thought I was going to shown how to wire the the lights

Just a tirade against these solar lights. Does not tell how to convert. Waste of time video

TY for actually showing the process, rather than just 'talk'n' about it.... ;)

This is awesome and a lot of help. I just got a 76 and will be restomodding it. I found a complete floor in good shape for $100 off another 76 I'll be putting in mine. Did you have to cut the fiberglass door seals to get to where you need to weld on the sides?

That's actually return line back to tank brake line is on drivers side

I had the same problem with the same thing for my 80 ,took new (bad) switch apart , spring inside was just laying in there ,poor assembly poor quality

Chevy hired some outta work keebler cookie makers to work elfin or maybe f en magic on the doors with their tiny hands. They worked for less money than illegals.

Hi. Curious. Let’s say you have solar lights and the port the solar part attaches to light can also take an electric charger. Is it safe to use an electric charger to charge batteries in solar light? Would it always have to be charged if not charging by solar? Or charge every so often? Please help me out with how can an electric charger be used.

BS Video. no instructions

If you notice there's a hole inside the wheel well for easier access to inside bolt.

You talk to much and nothing happens!

I think this was actually a good video. Yes, anyone looking to have their hand held through the whole process might be disappointed... But if they literally take one of these lights into their hands and disassemble it? They'll understand completely just how simple and un-intimidating the whole thing is. A transformer can easily be had from eBay or Amazon, so can speaker wire to do the wiring for a test run. Hell, nearly everyone has an old non-usb cell phone wall plug charger stuffed in a drawer somewhere they can use. They could even use scissors instead of wire strippers if they're careful. Great video, good contribution!

Iv'e done this on newer cars upto 2015 chrysler. This might be true so then use a DVM and check your voltages. Buy a Chiltons manual or get All Data program

Not trying to be rude but get to the point ,you writing a autobiography.

from what I've seen there is a definite problem with the wastegates and the wastegate is a very common problem with these turbos I can actually hear the rattle from my wastegate from the linkage and probably the little poppet valve inside of the turbine housing being loose now mine isn't to the point where I have no boost I can still build boost sometimes but they're not always lying to you when they say it's the wastegate you know I'm at a juncture where it sucks because I have 100,000 mi and it's like do I want to go ahead and do all this work and just do the wastegate and have the turbo possibly need replacing soon after all over again but since I'm a poor student right now yes I am going to only do the wastegate and hopefully I can put pictures on the escape forum maybe even a video of what I do to just fix the wastegate without having to buy any new parts except for possibly some gaskets but yeah if you take it to someone it's an expensive repair Ford quotes it at 7.8 hours and that's with all of their nice tools I'm doing it on ramps like these guys

I'm getting a battery light under load I'm guessing that the alt is going as well as the tensioner because the light comes on and stays on when I turn on ac

Thanks for the video. I had been wanting to install a great bit of rope lights around my gardens however price was an issue. I came across an insane deal on a bunch of solar powered rope lights that I decided to gobble up and convert to low voltage. I have spent the past few months doing some electrical work around the back yard, ie installing a second main box, new lines etc. so I have "some" knowledge on what to do but wasn't sure where to start. Your video helped!! The only point I am left a little fuzzy on is when you stated that you ran two sets of lights in series (which I get) but you ran the two strands in parralel at the power supply (this is what I am having a little trouble visualizing.) Would you mind drawing a very very simplistic picture of what your did at the power supply? Nothing detailed, seriously just a 1 min. rough sketch to help my brain. Lol. Again, appreciate the video.

Wiw its mint condition inside - starts right up! Nice !👍🏼

I thought you were going to show us how you did it..

Mine is a 76 and also needs the same thing done and i'm not a mech or wielder so my Butt is puckering hard because that looks like a lot of work lol! But great video!

It’ sounds great- runs well. It’s a great looking bike!

Ion 3?

I'm falling fucking asleep ! Get to the point ! Oh ya there is no fucking point in this video... All thumbs down .

My apologies to everyone that had a comment or question. I did not expect this kind of response and I have been down for the last year. I am finally recovering though.

Sorry that wasn't dine by a shop that was done by a back yard hack so called wannabe mechanic we don't do shit like that

Lol so this was more bout solar power sucks but where's the wirin I get in series to parallel bu thats all u get folks.

Really great

“You had that all free by the time I got here”. I use the “ that’s the way I found it “ all the time. Classic 😊

Honestly, your videos are extremely satisfying. Thank you for taking your time to post!!

I take mine appart

Dumbass, are you not gonna tell us the solar lights are 6volt, and parallel wiring will fry the lights?
