💥 Take our Complete ELECTRICAL Course. See this video for more information: th-cam.com/video/8G3ZcE_51rI/w-d-xo.html 💥
80% of the test was understanding how to use a DMM and reading wiring diagrams. The other 20% was knowing how to test the starting/charging system.
You just took the test recently.
Thank you for the support and comments. I also added the link to the study guide as requested.
awesome work sir, congrats on getting yourself more educated and certified. I will continue to support your channel, hope all is well.
Thank you. I appreciate the support greatly! 💪🏽😀🤘🏽😎🥳
Been doing my own electrical work for yrs. Re-wired my ignition on my motorcycle and my truck. But, I'm NOT certified. Just registered on ASE and set my apptmnt for the 4th of Dec. Also requesting that day off work already. Time to get certified and stop complaining. (I'm general labor, HYPER under employed).I also took courses semester ago in auto electrical and brakes. Received an A in the auto electrical, again that's not certified. Means nothing imo. I already purchased the study guide you recommended as well. My weak spots are conversions. What 1Mohms converted to K ohms. ect. I'm well versed in DMM so that'll be a breeze. Also great at schematics. But, I do not know yet what's NOT listed on a diagram. So, i took some notes from video. I know the systems you're talking about, but not to a T. So, I'll further study. I really want to pass this test. Just as a step forward. I know it's a long long journey and I'm prepared for that. Thanks for the video!!
Awesome! Sounds like you have a lot of experience and understanding already. Should be easy for you but I do have some additional recommendations since I posted this video, the Motorage books are my go-to study guides. They are better than the Delmar ones. It took me years to figure that out but trust me. Also, we have some electronic course on our website. All I can say is to understand how a wiring schematic looks like and know what happens when their is a short or too much resistance. If you need help let me know. Make sure to check out our website driverstherapy.com
I e got 5 various ASEs. I planned on doing T6 next because of a coworker. He said everyone is afraid of electrical but it is t really as bad as everyone thinks. He said it was a lot of diagrams with thing like, “What would cause X not work,” or things of that nature. Need to get some study material and get on it.
I have a T6 video as well.
@@DriversTherapy I’ll check it out. Not sure if I wanna got truck or school bus. I’m back to doing buses, but I think truck may be more universally appreciated if I ever leave again. But I’m pretty confident truck and school bus will be close to same, test wise that is.
Thanks for the video it’a a nice outline of the material that will be covered
Your welcome. Appreciate you checking it out. If you have any questions or need further help, let me know. 🙂
Yes, I should get more familiar with the components of a starter/alternator
I remember a few questions pertaining the starter and how it works. Knowing what happens if the solenoid goes bad vs the starter motor. The alternator was more of a understanding of how it is wired and looks on a electrical schematic. Knowing what happens when the voltage regulator goes bad or if it is overcharging or undercharging and why. Thanks for checking out the video. 🤘🏽
out of casualty about a year ago I bought the A6 book. Scotty Kilmer recommends getting a hold of electronics if you'd like to go this field. Should I study for the A6 first or just go A1 to A8? He said a lot of guys get scared because of electronics, so I wanted to go into it first to see if my interest holds. thanks.
A8 was the hardest for me. It’s all about emissions but in a more complicated level. A1 is challenging but rewarding since it is about engines. The A6 can be hard if you don’t have and experience using a multimeter or understand reading wiring schematics. I think taking the A6 early though will help you down the road with the other test since they all have some sort of wiring diagram you need to understand for troubleshooting purposes.
Sorry I'm late man but congratulations man I'm getting ready to take mine
Thank you! You got this, let me know if you have any additional questions. Good luck.
when's your test? did it happen already?
@@NightWear21 I passed all my A series test and I am a Master Tech now. 🙂
Awesome! I am a Cybersecurity professsional and iWant the ASE patch! Any recommendations for IT/Cyber/SWE professionals pursing ASE?
Sure! Are you looking to take one test or more than one? I’m assuming you want the electrical certification?
Id add to really know Instrument clusters and drivers information systems! As well as Lighting systems thats big on current ASE A6 test as well. Congrats on passing!!
Thank you Amy! I appreciate it. Also, thank you for sharing those additional areas to look into.
@@DriversTherapy actually my name is BILL and Im a 26 year veteran automotive tech for Toyota with a lot of experience. Amy is my wife and i replied under her account lol. but your welcome good luck on the rest of your ASE test!!!
@@amyhannah5854 26 years!!! That is so cool. I love Toyota. I have a 94 Supra. Thank you again for sharing some advice again. I appreciate it.
@@DriversTherapy i got a 86.5 and just got started as a lubie for toyota recently. Love it so far.
@@doomkid02 awesome! Congratulations. 🎉 what’s the next test?
Out of all the ase test this is my least favorite, wiring does not excite me. These tips really helped me, also the delmar book is “okay”
Electrical was not too bad. I am studying for the Engine Performance test right now and that is getting to me. There is so much about emissions that I have never dealt with.
Some of these tests feel as though they were written 100 years ago
You are not wrong.
I'm retaking the A6 in about 2 hours while doing some late minute cramming 😂 I think I got it this time around, but I'm still feeling kinda nervous haha
You got this! Just take your time. If there is a question you get stuck on, flag it, and move on, and come back to it at the end. I would take the time to look at your practice test questions and answers. Also, the official ASE practice test is helpful too.
@@DriversTherapy UPDATE: I FREAKING PASSED! ngl this is like my 4th time trying it, but I got it.....barely 😂
@@melvinargueta1633 congratulations!!! 🎉🍾🎊 you should be proud. You did it and didn’t give up.
Taking mine in 2.5 hours. It’s 5:30 am I woke up early so I could get some last minute studying in. I’m nervous. 😂
Any recommendations on wiring diagram vidoes, to learn how to read them better?
I have a course on that but there are a lot of videos out there for them on TH-cam, here is one that might help. th-cam.com/video/h3FsEV49CvM/w-d-xo.html
I got 32/45 failed by 1 point😕
Nooo!!! I’ve been there. I failed a few of my ASEs and worse than that. You got it next time. Stay motivated.
I hope you're certified now and haven't given up 💪💪
Awesome Video
Thanks!
My boss just signed me up for an ase prep course for a6, my electrical class at school kind of sucked , my prep course date is 5/20 and i got a little less than a month to study. I already own the delmar book but I honestly don't remember much from class, but I know how to use my multimeter to diagnose basic things. They want me to register for the test too so I can take it right after the course. Do you think I can pass if I study for an hour or so a day based off of the delmar book and youtube watching videos on reading schematics? I feel I really lack in reading diagrams as well as diag. I'm already certified in a4 and a5
Of course but I think you have to put in my time then an hour a day or do some long cramp days. I have some videos that can help you but email me so I can send you those links. I will try to put together a good list. The most important part is knowing how to use a DMM and understand schematics and the charging and starting system. You can also go and shadow someone a shop to trade school. There are many opinions and ways to get that missing knowledge.
@@DriversTherapy can you send me those videos? I’m taking my a6 and a7 to complete my program at school and a6 is getting me nervous.
@@0x00000000000000000x hi, what videos are you talking about?
Hey man... Where is that phone number ...I might need it!!!?
Hey! You need some extra help?
Remember in doing mechanical or electrical work: If you don’t know what lever A is leaver B. Lol
😂
Great video, great information. Another one I would highly recommend would be scannerdanner on TH-cam, he has a lot of videos densely packed with information about electrical systems and diagnosis
Thanks and I will definitely check out the channel. Appreciate the recommendation.
