- Learn How to Diagnose and Fix Car Electrical Problems like a professional! The electrical systems in modern cars have caused a ripple effect in the automotive industry.
Mechanics have to learn rapidly as modern car electrical systems advance every year.
In this Series I will share with you key information and education that will help you better understand electrical systems and more importantly how to diagnose them properly.
Electrical diagnosis starts with some basic operating principals that must be understood. Usually if you go read text books things get extremely complicated. In this series I will focus on the practical ways of understanding things in a way that will actually apply to automotive electrical diagnosis and repair.
Hope this helps someone out there.

The most entertained I’ve ever been watching a Car Care Nut video was when AMD spoke directly to me. I was sitting here thinking that “yeah, that’s kind of how voltage works, but not really, but should I leave a comment about it?”
At that exact moment, AMD, you said, “I know some of you will come up and say it’s not exactly like that, but we’re trying to learn how to fix cars, not become college professors.” I felt that.
I burst into tears after he said that 😂😂😂 I’m glad I was not the only one
Seriously the best explanation of basic automotive electrical theory I have ever seen. As you progress, you should have the video series in the description so you can refer back to the late to class members! Great video!
Great suggestion.
Excellent content
WTF? This was worse than a third grade level explanation of electricity.
@@nobodyimportant7804 It's meant to be as basic as possible....
@@abdul-kabiralegbe5660 So basic, that it is basically wrong.
Voltage is the difference in electric potential between two points. Voltage doesn't move, it is potential. smh
The mark of intellegence is the ability to explain something simply - thank you for this, Sir.
Some mechanics are smarter than some college professors. You're proof of that. Your channel is fantastic!
As a retired high school automotive instructor I admit this is a difficult subject to teach.
You have done a beautiful job! Keep up your great work👍
I had a GREAT teacher of basic electricity in 1971. He used this analogy:
Your house is on a hill with a garden up the hill in back.
To water the garden, you run a hose up the hill
1. Water pressure (about 40 pounds) is force like VOLTAGE (at 110 VOLTS).
2. Gravity is like RESISTANCE in a wire.
3. Gallons of water per minute is like AMPERAGE, current, amount of flow.
4. Amount of water over time is like power of the system, WATTs.
A garden might need a bigger hose or two hoses.
Like a room might need two 100 watt light bulbs, not just one.
I have extensive experience working on complex electronic equipment including aviation electronics while in the Air Force. The first step in troubleshooting any electronic system, including one in an automobile, is to get good, accurate wiring diagrams and technical documentation. Trying to figure out a complex automotive electrical system without a wiring diagram is like trying to find your way around a strange city without a map. A good set of technical documentation is just as important a tool when you are working on a car's electrical system as a voltmeter or a scanner.
I also had plenty of experience with corrosion [Navy Electronics tech] can't get away from the salt in the atmosphere and seawater.
As an electronics tech, good refresher. Almost everything is now plug'n'play in the electronics world, so I can't remember the last time I used a voltmeter.
When I was a bench tech, what I learned was that 90%+ of the problems in electronics can be seen by the naked eye. But what can be seen can sometimes affect what can't be seen, so you verify with a meter, and maybe an oscilloscope.
Ahmed is very thorough in explaining everything. He has that honest and patience. Thank you to this wonderful mechanic and person.
Dear Car Care Nut,
To honestly take the time to explain things so carefully, passionately just goes to show your integrity. It is so refreshing to see a technician/mechanic with such professionalism and wonderful ethics. I love Toyota's just like you, got hooked with my dad's 1987 Toyota Corolla SR5 RWD. May the Lord be with you and keep you!!
You're a great teacher. I've always been intimidated by diagnosing electrical issues. This knowledge has changed that. I'm excited for the next video. Thank you!
I'm an Electronics Technician. This is an excellent beginners guide. I like how simple and straight forward you keep this.
Where are you from bro ?
That was the best electrical training I’ve ever seen ! Thank you so much
1. For open circuits check for loose or corroded connections. Power, ground, fuses. Disconnect, check and reconnect all connections. Before changing parts disconnect and reconnect all connections with the power on if possible. Most electrical connections are coated with tin. Tin oxide coating forms to prevent unwanted corrosion. Unplugging and replugging can run off excess corrosion.
2. Short circuit. Pull fuses 1 at a time until the short goes away. Find the list of devices on that fuse. Disconnect 1 at a time until the short goes away.
3. Intermittent problem. With the problem turned tap near the connections with a standard screwdriver handle. The intermittent connection may cycle the device on and off or on or off.
4. Starter: clean battery posts a terminals and the 3 connections on the starter. And starter ground if equipped. Batteries have acid. The starter is under the car. Corrosion.
5. Alternator: worn brushes.

Thank you VERY much for this excellent training series! Learning the basics is extremely important! Eventually this will lead to dealing with wiring in a car which can be a nightmare given vehicle complexity and compactness, making getting to wiring an incredibly difficult challenge (unless working on a very old classic car that can be MUCH easier than cars made over the past 50 years). Many thanks! 👍

This is going to be a very informative and learning series, Can't wait to watch another. Thank you, you explained many things I never knew.
Totally agree!
Ohm's Law... something I learned in HS Electricity class over 40 years ago and has served me well to this day. :) I'm gonna watch this series just because there's probably some stuff I've forgotten over the years. ;)
Thanks AMD! 😃👍
Thank you - this is the beginning of a Masterclass and recognizes that starting with V = IR isn't intuitive to most people who are unfamiliar with electrical circuit theory. I would love to see you do more and build this into a sub-series of classes in exactly the same format - start with the practical application in an automotive context and then back into the theory behind it. Brilliant.
What a great channel for all Toyota lovers. That white Supra in the background brings me back to the my teenage years when I owned an '87 Turbo - I am now 45 years old. Those were the days. Thank you
I am amazed !! I have been an electrical engineer for 40 years. I never had a better explanation of V A R relation. Teaching it is natural with you. There is an explanation on this, why you are so good. Anyway well done!!
4 years of engineering condensed into 25 minutes. I am crying... I could have saved a lot of money.
Thank you so much for doing this series on electrical diagnosis! This is my main weakness when it comes to diy automotive maintenance and repair. You are a great teacher and an automotive technician.
This was the clearest explanation I've seen so far, I have a much better grasp now than I did before watching countless other videos. Thank you so much for making this!
Ahmed I really enjoy your content, not really a mechanic but just a car enthusiast
شكرا اخوك علي من الكويت 🌷
Thank you for explaining this in a practical way that non electrical engineers can understand. This is going to be an awesome series to watch.
This is great, thanks for taking the time to teach to those who don’t have a clue between a volt and an amp like myself
I wish I could give this video a million likes
simplified information, slow for us that are beginners and even for those that have been working on our cars for a while but scratch our heads at electrical diagrams haha, and your bits of humor in there are gold, even for those that don't have a Toyota this is gold!
Thank you for taking your time to make videos like these💚
Dude, you either had a great teacher, or you are a great teacher. I’d say both. Extremely simple and to the point. Awesome video.
This is the most valuable automotive electrical training on TH-cam.
I learned a lot in school about electricity, but no teacher explained so logically. What I learned was just memorization, without understanding anything about electric current. I was pleasantly surprised to find you. I understood absolutely everything. My searches are due to the fact that I have some electrical problems with my vauxhall mokka car, I wanted to solve them myself and I started to learn. Thank you so much for your clear presentation and for sharing your knowledge with those who want to learn about this area. God bless you !
Another great video and looking forward to the whole series. Thanks AMD. Appreciate them!
Really useful. Thank you. My multimeter is being shipped. Then I'm testing the voltage drop on my lazy starter. Love your clarity and lack of arrogance.
Sweet!!! Thank you for making this video!! This has helped me immensely. Looking forward to Part 2.
Wow! You're a natural teacher- very very good job explaining this stuff. PLEASE CONTINUE THIS SERIES!!!
Thank you man...i already love this series. As a former toyota mechanic i never have real expierence with electrical problems....after many years moving from toyota to a european brand and a hole New world of problems opens to me..and life was not good😅...i did not even know that this problems exists...so its also the brand you work with that depands the understanding of these kind of problems.
This series is more priceless than gold. LOVE IT. No I've not watched the video yet but that's what I think looking at the title.
Excellent video and explanation! You'd also make a great teacher! With 3 project cars and going through many electrical nightmares, I've always struggled with these issues. I've fired the parts cannon at them many times out of frustration and impatience. You made everything so much clearer! Looking forward to learning more!
Wow I love this man im literally in school for automotive technology and in the electrical unit and you Mr. Car Care Nut made me understand it so well. Thank you and cant wait for the next part!!!!
I'm in the same boat and this video was so helpful in solidifying those concepts
Outstanding! Don't sell yourself "short" Professor Nut. Phenomenal presentation, thanks for sharing your knowledge
Thank you for starting with 101 level details. Looking forward to the 201 class to knock the rust off my memory. And I have my notepad ready for the 301 class. My notifications are turned on. Your videos are always informative, concise, and cleanly produced. I appreciate the effort you put in to educate.
I have watced serveral videos on youtube on the subject of electrical circuits and by far yours is the clearest explanation I have ever watched. AMD you have a very clear simple direct way of explaining things. Thank so very much !
WOW! Excellent video!!! I can finally begin to make sense of it all. Not afraid to unpack that meter I purchased... OVER A YEAR AGO!
A simple explanation is all I've needed for this after all these years. THANK YOU
In a word.. Fantastic!! He has a wonderful way of teaching and driving the important points home!! Thank you! The Lights are coming on!
Such a (patient) clear explanation.
BRILLIANT!!
After watched your vide. It just helped me refresh my memory during training many years ago. Thank you 🙏
Awesome video! For those that don't understand electricity, circuitry, etc. This is a GREAT basics example!!!!
The best explanation I've seen. Very basic and simple no way you cannot understand. Thumbs up my man!
That was the clearest explanation on this subject I have ever been taught. Thank You
I work in a power generating station and deal with these type of circuits all the time. I enjoyed this video very much. You did a very good job of explaining the fundamentals.

Another fantastic video. Love the way you are explaining things.
Thanks so much!! I’m eating this right up!! Can’t wait for more!!
This man is an excellent teacher able to explain in the most simplest way, thank you very much!
And to think that right when you post this video my mechanical instructor was going through this. Perfect timing and very informative and helpful😅👍
I have never heard it explained better than this. What an excellent video! Thank you.
Man props to my guy here is an amazing teacher !!! I work as a mechanic at my dads shop and it’s crazy how much he’s making things click
The best explanation I ever heard on automotive electrical theory and diagnosis. A bulb went on in my head. Thank you.
Can't wait for Part two
SUBSTANTIAL The Car Care Nut
Thank you 👍
From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧
you are an excellent teacher! only now I come to comprehend about auto electrical trouble shooting. May Gob Blees You More.
You are a best instructor I have come across on TH-cam, I will follow your video s to enhance my understanding on the basic s of electrical wiring .👍
I learned so much just in the first episode! Looking forward to watching more! Thank you so much and God bless!
Oh this is an a must learn.. 👍🏻Great idea, since cars have so many sensors today. Looking forward to this series.
I waited for this video forever! Thank you man!
I cannot wait for the rest of the videos! This is such a great topic to learn cause electrical issues is the most complicated issue for me
AMD - my respect and congratulations to simplify a complicated subject. One of the best explanations to car electrical systems. Keep them coming.

you are an awsome teacher. Thank you so much for making these videos. I have wanted to learn electrical for so many years.
I have watched and read a fair amount of content trying to understand electrical troubleshooting. I think I've learned more by the end of your first example of the horn circuit than I have anywhere else!
Thanks for starting this series!
Who takes the time to explain the basics of electricity wiring so easy as this ! KUDOS.
Thank you sir for this outstanding opportunity to grow. I’m in technical school, but have been working with cars for a while. Pulling engines and electrical diagnostics are like yin and Yang to me. I’ve never had the opportunity to learn anything electrical, except occasionally installing stereos for myself and a few buddies. Although they cover electrical in trade school, due to the length of the program, they aren’t able to cover electrical diagnostic practice and application to the extent you truly need to excel in the modern day automotive industry. This video is a great learning opportunity :)
OUTSTANDING presentation. Thank you Sir!
Thank You AMD for explaining the electrical theory in a very simplistic manner, great refresher course for this Aviation Machinists with an A&P License.
This is what I've always wanted. I've been studying electrical engineering for so long. 3 years in Highschool and almost 5 years in University/Technician. I have so much damn Theoretical knowledge about Maths and Electrical concepts but I know that were you to put me infront of a fault of some kind. I'd have no clue what to do.
My ultimate goal is to turn my love of cars and electricity into a business some day and this is a good way of introducing me to diagnostics🔥💙
Nice one AMD.
Really appreciate this.
Blessings to you and Mrs. Car Care Nut and the children.
Had my full attention every second, you have a gift in teaching.
sharing the knowledge makes you a wonderful person .

Such a great video, this made everything click in my head. Thank you!!
That was brilliant I can strip and rebuild a whole car but I detest electrical issues. Every thing in that made sense. Looking forward to the next one
This channel has been a gem 💎 which now morphing into a magical gem. (Mind you I’m not very good with analogy but I try.)
With your English you actually have it down much better than you give yourself credit for..your so good I'd swear your born here and don't speak any other language..
Love your videos i always learn something
Thank you for taking the time to educate us!
Best Explanation Ever!!! Thank you!
This was a great video! Clear and informative!
Thank you for teaching this Sir!
The excellence of this video cannot be overstated. Thank you.
Incredible timing. I was just doing some electrical work in my truck (tundra) and was overwhelmed by the wiring diagrams. Looking forward to this series of videos. Thank you Sir!
a much needed episode
thanks a lot!!!
for such informative contents
2nd time watching, glad I did. Loved the analogy of all the current running to where the lawn chair moved to. Best wishes.
Greatly explained concepts making them easy to understand!!! Thanks AMD.
This was awesome! You should have been a teacher, due to your calm demeanor and how you approach the teaching method! Thank you and God bless!!
Immediately subscribed and liked at the end of this video. Great job!
Just trying to learn something new. Really excited for your series!
I am beginning to wonder if Amed is a professor, a negotiator, a technician or what not. Ahmed makes complicated things so simple and yet delivers the very essence of the whatever topic he chooses. Ahmed, as always big thanks for your insights.
Very Helpful! Excited for the next video. Thank you soo much for the knowledge
Amazing video! Thank you! 👏👏👏
