Which tool can find the problem?
Many of you have asked for this one! Quick tool comparison video. We compare 4 different meters to test a 12 volt power outlet (often referred to as a cigarette lighter). These include:
- Traditional multimeter (DMM)
- Test light
- PowerProbe®
- DYVO®
If you plug something into your car's 12v outlet and it doesn't work, make sure you have the right tool to test it. This was a dash cam that didn't work.

How to clean battery corrosion
มุมมอง 1.9K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
In this quick video, I'll show you how to clean battery corrosion, and install a new battery. Don't bother with battery cleaners from an auto parts store. Baking soda works very well and is cheaper. Mix 1 TBSP baking powder to 1 cup tap water. Use 2 TBSP for heavy corrosion. You also don't need corrosion spray protectors. A light coating of petroleum jelly works great. Apply it to the cable end...

Charging system test 2011 Dodge Avenger
มุมมอง 3.4K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Learn how to use DYVO to test the charging system (alternator/generator) on a 2011 Dodge Avenger 2.4L. We go in-depth on this one, covering how the charging system operates and how to test the circuits. This is a common system that Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler has used for many years. These alternators are regulated by the PCM through pulse width modulation (PWM).

How to test the resistance of a fuel injector
มุมมอง 1.6K2 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video, we'll show you how to use DYVO to test the resistance of a fuel injector. You can use this same method to test the resistance of almost any component. DYVO applies more power through components than a traditional multimeter in Ohms, providing more accurate results and a better indication of the component's health.

    This is just a Fuse buddy with extra lights. Plug a fuse buddy in, if you have 9 A for a 5 A circuit, you've got a short to ground. Alternatively, if you have 0 A in a 5 A circuit, start chasing wires.

    Just purchased this week, arrived yesterday in 2 days! Thanks! Other question though. If exact resistance doesn't matter as have been led, taught this way then with systems based off of resistance such as GM "VATS" keys resistance does matter. I'm not questioning the security technology but rather how do we account for circuits that have resistance built in when trying to make a correct diagnosis such as electrical on a GM Vats system albeit the only way we would run into something like that is if someone tried to bypass the system rather than using the standard factory key because the resistance value is in the key. Am I making a correct analysis of this type of situation ?

    I don't have that tool, but I do systematically find out what caused the fuse to blow. Mechanics hated me because I would never "just replace the fuse" I always wanted to know WHY the fuse blew. We had a brand new ambulance that kept blowing Dome light fuses, They kept replacing fuses, I told the bosses I want to take that ambulance out of service and tack down the cause. before it burns the truck down. They said "No" they put in a self resetting fuse and put it back in service. Next day the ambulance was back, having caught on fire, and the whole harness under the dashboard was melted. They tried to blame me. They had my partner look at it for signs of sabotage. being satisfied that I did not burn it down, they told me I now had all the time in the world to find the problem. It took me 2 hours. The bodybuilders (the company who put the module on the truck chassis) used a screw that was 1/4 inch too long to put the dome light back up; when ever the truck drove around hitting bumps and waves in the road, the roof would flex and bend in just enough to barley touch the tip of the screw. The light circuit had unswitched HOT to that screw and the gound side of the light was switched by the door pin switches and the light switch. With regular fuses the fuse would blow and just no more dome light, but with self-resetting circuit breakers, every time they would pop, they would cool off and rest, until the next time, all night long until the wires were hot enough to melt through the harness and burn the truck down. How did I find it? I followed the melted wires all the way up to the dome light, when I took out the mouthing screws, one was longer than the other, and the tip was blue and smoothed off at a 45 Degree range from repeated contact with the roof. I used a correct screw to remount the light, repaired/replaced all the wires in the harness that had melted, took all day the next day and the truck was back in service. Bosses who should have already known better finally learned to trust and listen to me. If a fuse blows FIND OUT WHY.

    What do you do when the new fuse blows??..... That's easy dude, stick a higher amperage fuse in! 💁🏼‍♂️. Easiest way to trace a short is to stick a nail across the fuse, turn the circuit on and wait for the smoke! No equipment needed. 😂

    Oh my I hate working on wiring problems. I once had to find a broken wire on a B-52G. The wiring ran down the inside of the bomb bay and I had to take apart that wiring harness to find the chafed and broken wiring...on the alert pad right next to four huge nuclear bombs. I thankfully never have to work in the "No lone zone" ever again.
