Can I do the same thing with DPDT switches for 2 banks of LED lights. How would I wire this

Hi David. My Driver's door glass shattered on my Vito on the way to Ireland for Christmas I picked up another glass at a breaker - there wasn't any chance of getting a new one this side of Mid January. Couldn't work out how to fit the glass until I watched this. After which it was blindingly obvious that the rubber seal has to removed first😂 thanks!

I pulled him up on this he told me it was pouring with rain I replied you are a liar and you are now a criminal for removing peoples corespondents out of their letter boxes Now my MP god help us

Hi can you add a link to where you got the 2way switch, it’s not in your info page

Hi David! Did you end up filming how to control the lights with a 2 way switch AND a dimmer? i think in this ep you say that will be covered in the next, but cant find it. I find your way of demonstrating the wiring excellent.

Great video and thanks. For your lighting circuits when you cut the jumpers, are the lights connected to the middle prong or is the wire from the fuse box? I think you initially connecting from the fuse box to the prong at the top, but there was a note during the video that said connect to middle. So is the wire from the fuse box going to the middle prong or is the wire from the light going to the middle prong?

Merci beaucoup ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hi, thanks for the useful content. Is it ok to ground to the chassis? In the manual for multiple 12v dimmers it states that it specifically requires grounding to negative of the battery. I find this an odd distinction as it suggests you need a fully isolated leisure wiring system which grounds to negative only, not chassis. Which is against safety regs. I assume you would just ground to chassis and not opt for an isolated leisure system instead just ground everything to chassis…?

No surprise there then, labour liars

I asked MB parts for a new one cost $3,800 AU LOL fuck that

It's the easiest 450 version to work on the engine. There is a CDI with A/C.

On the 451, the oil and filter are changed differently, there is no need for suction because it has a drain plug and cartridge filter. On the 451 CDI, the procedure is the same.

Thank you, I really appreciate your video ¡¡ from cancun -mexico

About to tackle this job. This video will be really helpful. And love how you got the young lad involved. Great stuff.

Hi David, Thank You for all the videos. I tried to fix my daughter's 2013 Smart Fortwo Passion, the car turn on, all lights are on, heard the clicks but the car won't start. We replaced the Alternator, Starter, and Battery that still experienced the same issue. Any advise is greatly appreciated.

Excellent video. Thank you! I have a 2023 Sprinter 144". Have you by chance got a way to do this for switches in 3 locations WITH a dimmer at one location? One in the front or just behind the driver's seat, one on the B-pillar by sliding door and one in the back. I would do this for 3 light circuits. We call it a 4-way switch system in the USA. Any help with this would be appreciated. TIA🙏

I’m not clear from about 8mins on, after you say ‘now what I want to do’ about five times! Then it’s hard to see when camera is giving a side view. So, what did you do to make the main switch only switch off the board except for the two switches?

I kinda wish you had your episode number as first thing in title. It’s quite difficult to find an episode when at the end of such long titles.

Would this work with LED strip lights? Also your dimmer switch is 4amps, my LED strip need a 3amp dimmer switch. Would the 4amp version be ok?

Great video.

Confused. You said stick to parallel…did you mean series.

This exact problem happen on my Daughters I have pushed it back in for now but I see online a different style of clip to what you use so does that matter ?

Good video guys

Good idea to check and thoroughly clean all roller mechanisms and tracks while you have everything disassembled.

As you are going to all the effort to disassemble the entire damper, I expected a thorough cleaning of all components prior to final assembly.

I have the same style switch panel and was wondering how to replace one of the switches with a momentary pushbutton, the same way you did with your two way switch, thank you so much for helping me understand how to do this

Hi David, would this set up with the on off on switch work for a electric water valve? Could I have two switches in different locations that could open the valve? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

I got crack rubber or foam on my bottom coil spring, i dont know it is, no noise from the front shocks only too soft, but i try 150km no body roll

If the first switch is in the center (off) position, will the lights come on when the second switch is in either of the “on” positions?

turn the music down.

Nice! please can you tell me which headliner glue spray that you used? Thanks

Hi David, question if I may? With the 5 switches, could you use 1 for the isolated in the board instead of being separate? Use one for the lights as you have done in this example. But then use the other 3 to act as switches for the below 3 components (cigarette/voltmeter/USB)? So left to right: - Isolater switch (panel on/off) - cigarette on/off - voltmeter on/off - USB on/off - light switch (on/off) Thanks!

When the motor turns nut wont start can this be the problem?

obrigado pelo vídeo, excelente conteúdo e muita dedicação, muito agradável de ver, cumprimentos de Portugal.

The best video. I wanted to learn which torx do I need and now I now it is the E10! Thanks !

Thank you for presenting this information in such an easily ‘digested’ manner. I am trying to figure out (adapting) this exercise to control a light function from THREE locations (switches). Is this something that you could verbally inform me (us) on, without the need for producing an additional video ? Thank you regardless.

Hi ive the same issue, can you let know where you purchased it from thank you

ujoint?

keep up the good content.👍

Fantastic content and is very well explained.

Really great videos. I like your style and approach. Am learning a ton. Thanks!

Hey David, thanks for the helpful video! Just wanted to call out that 1.25x1.25 for your 25% rule = 1.5625, and to get the 1.875 is 50%. I call it out because I started questioning if I knew how to do math lol. A google search on the topic helped me realize this (and comforted my worrisome ego on our multiplication skills), and thought it might be helpful for anyone else brand new to fuse sizing when trying to come up with the 1.875. At least I think?

you are a great man. thank you.

Yes thanks 🙏🏻. I’ve recently bought a switch board box from Kings in WA Aus. I was considering many different options for wiring my services in a Van . You have opened my eyes to possibilities.. especially the master switch concept . Makes perfect sense to me now.. cheers David. I’ll look at more of your posts in the future..! Regards G

Incredibly helpful video, workign through this now and this is the simpliest explaination I've found! Did you end up integrating the dimmer into the 3 way switch? I didn't see how the dimmer switch fit in with the 3 way functionality.

Very good video of smart car repair

Thanks very much indeed. Exactly this happened to me this morning 👍👍👍

What do I do if my switch has one wire

I've read it's possible without the lowering bolts. I don't see how. Chaffed my arm trying. Are the lowering bolts straight forward to use? Very helpful video. Had my LHD 2001 Smart 450 since new. Thanks 👍

Extremely easy to follow and excellent with the example. I'm wiring up lighting inside my trailer and want a light switch at the rear and side doors, this is perfect.
