“Know what you’re working on” best advice ever because guessing is expensive, lol.
Actually, the example used was great. Great video and thanks for bringing in the PowerProbe tech in. Appreciate it.
A definite must for the power probe is the 5v step down tip. It will save you from frying something.
Do you use the 5volt step down tip all the time? when and how do you use it?
Sorry to be such a bother. I just bought a PP3 and I'm trying to get set to use it. Thank you!
@paulcoover9197 I only use it when dealing with 5 volt ref circuits. If you are unsure, get a wiring diagram.
Good job. Very good information know your circuit before applying power or ground .
Great video. Would like to see more of these. Thanks for filming it.
Love my power probe would definitely recommend.
Very cool demo kit ! Great to see how these are used.
this helps A LOT, because I intend to use it for AC work, just like the compressor example. thanks for the heads up!
Powerprobe is my number 1 tool just keep the probe from tripping and you can be safe.... understand diag and schematics
A powerprobe is like a gun don’t point and shoot at stuff ya don’t know or see
hmm very short... was expecting more. both you guys are cool! 😎
There’s more to come in the following videos. This was filmed today along with the others but only had time to get one edited
Great job Clay
More videos on the powerprobe please 🥰🥰🥰🥰
they are coming, we shot several just have to get the others edited
Enjoyed this video
Thank you very much helpful video

Please need more great training video like this Please 🙏 .have a great day, take care.God bless you and all your family around you. 🙏

thanks for the video
this was a solid video. can you put together training videos or something it would be pretty cool as a young tech to lean more diag techniques for situations. every situation is different but i love these videos thank you!!!
Great video
Appreciate you
Hello again Clay and Power Probe Rep
Thank you for another Great Video. Sorry, I never heard his name. Imo. When you are properly trained, issues should be considerably limited. I'm looking forward to seeing more content like this. Again thank you
I love doing loaded voltage drop test with the power probe. Isolate the circuit, shoot 12v through one side with a 3157 bulb connected to ground on the other side. Then preform a voltage drop test of that circuit with the light on. Found many of pinched can bus wires that way.
Did i see you wiggle the probe feed harness to fix its intermittent short?
I don't have a pp yet but want to learn how to use one the right way. Some day.🔧🔧🔧🔧
Stand by for the next one that shows them all and what the difference is
thanks clay you sead you had videos that showed tools and how to use them .....thanks .....and remember guy,s drop a like
get to know what you are working on are words to live by. not the first instructor i have heard say such.
It would help to explain what power probe 3 or 4 modes monitoring, current or voltage in Automotive wires.
I use mine a lot to find switch issues like window switches where the factory manual says use a test light. But unless it's led you will never see it light up with a switch! Pp or a vm will
when testing an IPM, can you load power to 30, 86 and 87?
Was hoping for a demo on the maestro
It’s coming ….. just haven’t had time to edit it yet. Shot it today when this video was done
@@KoonTrucking good to know 😎👍
Read the service manual first too
👍😎👍
Be careful with it if one don't know they shouldn't use them but it's easy to learn how
This just a personally opinion and I've been using a fluke for a year now testing 480v to 120v AC and 12v to 24v DC systems and I've never used a power probe and don't see the point sometimes when switches have broke I use a wire that's the same gauge and jumper the switch just make sure its broken but I've only do that switches that are manually to perform a certain function. So I would like to know how a power probe would be usefully where a multimeter wouldn't be.
I swear I didn’t notice this in the last video featuring this guy….but I swear to God…he LOOKS and SOUNDS just like the guy from the movie HANGOVER!!! The guy with the missing tooth and the Mike Tyson tattoo…😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I just wish they would include a printed manual and not just a link to an online version.
Aha... Real world on the stand with holes for powerprobe...😂
What happened to the Power Probe Hook?
ya i dont like applying power or ground or both to anything still in circuit
What link to get the PowerProbe off tool truck or you got one recommended. GREAT video!
Stand by we have a video coming that has every one of them and shows the different features and functions of each one. Very good and in depth video.
@@KoonTrucking Perfect will be looking forward to it. 👍
If power probes aren't allowed I wouldn't work there lol
FIRST for the 756th video in a row !!!
Cause you are the man!
Missing the power probe hook
I'm a little confused. Can you please explain to me what is happening when you use the power probe positive or negative switch? How is current flowing? Why is it not okay to send power to ground-side, or ground-side to power side? in other words, what are you doing exactly when you flip that switch?
can you also explain to me why the wrong way is wrong please? like the way current flows, doing things the wrong way
Sending current (positive) to the negative side would cause a short to ground. (Blow a fuse or damage electronics) same way goes with sending ground to power side (short to ground). Here’s another video that shows how it works th-cam.com/video/VgJe5fiXcn8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Fdopxjb85z0wyPgP
thank you so much. As simple as the question may seem, its a big help. thanks. you're helping me tie up some misunderstandings i have with using the power probe, and circuits in general@@KoonTrucking
@@aaronmcdonald4944 glad to help. The video I sent the link to should give you more understanding on how it works. The PowerProbe is a wonderful tool to eliminate issues and isolate the problem so you can fix it. For instance if you can apply ground to the ground side of a fan on an ac unit, you hit the power button inside and apply ground to the ground side and it runs you know you have a ground issue. Then if that doesn’t work you can apply power to the hot side and if it comes on you can narrow it down to a faulty switch or wiring issue pre or post switch. If it still doesn’t come on you know you can check the power with the probe at the connector and if you have power and ground then you know the fan itself is bad. Hopefully that all makes sense.
Can you tell me where the switches are located to fix the power and ground circuits to flip them like he did to fix the problem. I can't recall seeing any toggle switches in the wire looms.
He said you do the repair (then he flipped the switch) I get what you are saying but at the end of the day it is a demo board 🤔
@@KoonTrucking JUST HOPEFUL for an easier way. So I still have to find that frayed/green crust coated wire or connection and repair it. Seemed flipping a switch would be faster AND
easier...............CAN'T BLAME ME FOR TRYING/ASKING...We're always looking for that magic SILVER BULLET fix.
@@terryharvey4811🤨 Power probe do have a circuit tracer product to find the bad wire.
You didn't explain that extra alligator clip attached to the probe?
one goes to the battery positive one goes to the battery negative, that's how it supplies ground or power at the press of a button to complete the circuit
I think you hook that to a starter or something that you want to bench test out of the car.
You have to have a thorough understanding of electrical systems before you use a power probe....but the same could be said for a multimeter.....if you don't understand what's going on in the circuits you shouldn't even be doing electrical to begin with.
TRUE DAT !!!
If you can’t do electrical you shouldn’t be a mechanic
@@pandaratio2917 ppl still need tires, brakes, and oil changes. Plus all the fluid flushes. Lol
@@jduv6455 not hating becuase I started there too but doing those jobs doesn't make you a mechanic or technician....
@@85jmccoy I understand what you are trying to get across in regards to the video. I disagree with you labeling a mechanic. Its cool tho.
Not as helpful as I had hoped especially with all that gear on the table I expected more however for a quick overview it was ok
Never ever use a power probe on any bcm, pcm or ecm... It should only be used to power up or diagnose window modules, door lock actuators or a fan circuit... When powering up a module disconnect the module from the vehicle...
Not really detailed in training here, just quick over view single topic. Can you guys put together a real useful training set of video that can delve into more bro and better examples of really working on cars and not demo boards.
