Dear Jeremy, I have just finished rewiring my whole damn car and wanted to thank you for your extremely helpful videos, that perfectly explain all the different circuits you'll find on a classic, race or plain old car, in a way that even the amateur newbie (like myself) understands how they work, up to the point of recreating the typical electrical car components. I now have a running, flashing and honking car that's bristling with flip switches and gauges, as well as the envious admiration of my buddies who break a cold sweat when the word electrical is even just mentioned. Thanks again for all the knowledge, inspiration and encouragement. Mahalo!
Your videos are clean, easy to understand and, best of all, when watched in series they build on each other. I love watching your videos! They're the best. Have you considered expanding the kind of devices to wire? An air-compressor, sub woofer, multiple batteries, water pumps, usb power, backup cameras, that kind of stuff. Your channel is slowly becoming the one stop shop for all automotive wiring.
Thanks for the kind words! I absolutely will expand into other stuff as money and time allows. And I do actually have one of your ideas in the works. You have to wait and see which one it is! 😊
Ah budget. There are plenty of budget videos, like How to solder. How to crimp. Why crimp. Why solder. What do all those different wire ends do. Why use certain wire ends. Which wire is best for which amperage. Whats the difference between a fuse and fusible link. These are all things encountered while doing car stuff and not really understand, even when reading the instructions for a given device. Thanks again for your videos.@@WiringRescue
THANK YOU for doing a pull switch, I have a 59' CJ5 and just today I got it partially working, but I have been STRUGGLING with this exact style of switch for a Jeep. thank god it just pulls in and out though, I didn't even know they could twist
dude. i've been having so many electrical issues with my '85 camaro it's unreal. my stupid self decided to straight wire a fan to a dash switch before knowing ANYTHING about it lol. facebook quickly made me cut the wires before my car caught on fire. I then found your fan video, and now this video because my headlights are flickering horribly. I'm about to completely rewire both, and this is perfect! You have no idea how much this is gonna help me as someone who knew nothing about electricity 2 weeks ago.
As somebody who has about a million hours of their youth invested in a 1985 Camaro, I’m thrilled that you are finding the videos helpful for yours! That Camaro my friends and I used to cruise in, is long gone, but the knowledge I gained from it is with me forever. If you want to learn more about automotive electricity, check out my wiring playlist, there are a few good ones there. This is one that never gets the views I think it should, but I think it’s really helpful if you’re bored th-cam.com/video/QCkfFCLa_Jg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Tk1T-MkbvOK-oe9W. Good luck on your project!
Awesome! I subscribed a while back because you explain auto wiring so clearly. I’ve seen your videos using relays. Could you show how to incorporate relays into this wiring project? That would be very helpful and interesting. Thanks!!
Just found your channel and it’s great and I have one for you. I’m looking to put a fan on my side by side that sits between the cab and the engine bay. In the summer it will suck cool air from the cab and blow hot air away from the engine. When it’s cold it will do the opposite. And it will have three speeds. I found rocker switches that do each function but I’m at a loss for how to wire them up together. That’s actually how I found your channel.
I love these videos! If I may make a suggestion, though, for the sake of clarity and visibility you might want to avoid using white wire against a white background. It almost disappears. But, keep up the good work! I look forward to future videos....
Great job! I understand when you pull the headlight switch slightly out only the park lights and tail light circuits go on and not the headlights, but if you pull it all the way out the headlights come on and the park light circuit goes off. But the brake light circuit should stay hot? When I pull my 1951 Chevy all the way out the brake light circuit loses power.
This is exactly what I needed. I've been dealing with a wierd issue. I had sealed beams. Lows worked, but highs did not. I assumed it was because one of the bulbs was full of water. I ditched the sealed beams and upgraded to LEDs which have built in switchback DRLs/turn signals. Whole kit should have been plug and play minus the DRLs and turn signals of course, but now the high beams work but the lows do not. 🤔
I think you need to check if the headlamp wiring on your car is positive switched or negative switched. I'm going to guess they are probably negative switched, pretty common on Japanese cars. So, for positive switched headlamps, you will have one ground wire that is common to both high and low beam on each lamp, and the other 2 wires will be separate positive wires that power up independently for high or low beam respectively. Whereas, for negative switched, you will have 1 positive wire that is common/shared by both high and low beam, and 2 separate ground wires which are grounded independently for high or low beam respectively depending on which one (high or low) is selected. Hope this helps👍
@@nathanielmoore87 No probs, hope it helps👍 An issue you might find with LED headlamps is, they may be wired up to be connected as positive switched, with 1 common ground wire, and 2 positive wires, high + low beam. Being that LED's are polarity sensitive, whereas incandescent filament or halogen filament globes aren't polarity sensitive, you might have to wire in a relay or two to reverse the polarity to use LED lamps, if you happen to find your motor home wiring is set up as negative switched.
Im super new to wiring. Im working on a 1953 chevy 210, i'm using ez wire harness to convert the car from 6 volt to 12 volt I bought the same switch and 20 amp fuse plug. Thanks to you making this video I got my light to work front and rear. but for some reason now im having an issue with the 20 amp fuse popping once i pull switch to the parking light position. not sure how to fix this. any suggestions? Im thinking im running to much power to the switch but I'd figure i better ask and see. thank you for time I appreciate it.
This is amazing for us newbies! Why do my front parking lights stay on when my headlights are on? It’s so hard to follow all the wires. My blinkers act weak. Where’s that video? lol 65 chevelle. Thanks again!
@Wiring Rescue, how/where would you add relays to this system for the headlights? I have a '67 chevelle that I need to rewire from nose to tail to replace the cobbled together original wiring. I have a new universal harness from Painless Performance that sets up the headlights VERY similarly to what you show here. I watched your other video on relays with a floor dimmer, but I think I would need two relays. Would they go between the dimmer and the headlights, or the dimmer and the switch?
I have watched many of your videos. I have a question, if you wire the low speed on a wiper switch to a flasher relay will you be able to make intermittent wipers
I added LED marine docking lamps (wide flat beams) for fog lamps to a P/U and used a relay triggered from the park lamps. Used park lamps as can shut head lights off still have fog lights. Too bad the truck is undependable for starting.
I want to do this to my 2002 gmc Savana 3590 van. It has a garbage switch, and dimmer/blinker/windshield washer/wiper/cruise multi function switch. Headlight wires are thin. Can't even trace harness from inside to outside. Impossible. Keep having to replace multi function switch on steering coming, and main headlight switch. It is unprotected for the USA domestic model. Export model has fuses and relays. I have the dealer service manual and it shows GM hates the domestic USA people and loves the foreign buyers. I want to find a good strong common headlight switch, and put relays right at the headlights with lots of juice at the headlight. Take no chances.

This is such an amazing comment! ❤ Thank YOU for supporting this channel. I’m so happy that your project is coming together!
Where was this channel when i wired my 1964 chevy? this channel is awesome!!
Luckily it does now! 😂 Thank you!

Really like how you calmly show and explain the steps of the wiring. Including the little V&A meter was also very cool. Thanks for making and sharing

Love how you explain everything so clearly. It's a great video 👍

I used the information in your previous videos to help me wire a couple of cars. Good to see you making a new video 👍Thanks

Yes! I agree 100% and I’m learning with each video I make. Thanks for watching and the feedback. I appreciate both!
2:30 😑 and that is the reason why I am watching this video, thank you bro!
Glad it helped you out! Thanks for watching!
I have been waiting for this forever and its even better than I could have imagined
The best wiring videos I have ever seen your videos have helped me so much thank you 👌👍

@@simonilett998 Thanks!! This is for a Class A motorhome (1990 Fleetwood Bounder to be exact), but your info is still very helpful!! 👍👍

How do you wire this setup up with a relay??
I loves these videos ❤💪🔥👌👍🏻💯

Hi jeremy.i am bussy rewiring my nissan sunny coupe git rz1.your video's help me a lot.can you help to wire the dash panel on it.
@Wiring Rescue, how/where would you add relays to this system for the headlights? I have a '67 chevelle that I need to rewire from nose to tail to replace the cobbled together original wiring.

Thank you
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
I'm current working on a project from scratch so I was wondering would the diagram that you have set up work for 10 watt led headlights?
Can you please make videos about sensors
Absolutely! I actually have a really cool idea for this topic already. Just trying to figure out how to make it happen.
What would i do about turn signals sir
I have watched many of your videos. I have a question, if you wire the low speed on a wiper switch to a flasher relay will you be able to make intermittent wipers
Can you pls pls make video on 4/5 pin relay wiring of orvm with lock unlock feature.
I added LED marine docking lamps (wide flat beams) for fog lamps to a P/U and used a relay triggered from the park lamps. Used park lamps as can shut head lights off still have fog lights. Too bad the truck is undependable for starting.
So should l just eliminate my 1967 headlight relay? Maybe it's why my high beams dont work. My sockets and wires look ok...
My 89 ford ranger have a pull switch for the headlights
