I love your calm, chill, normal delivery. Throughout my years watching youtube, I've seen many normal personalities change where in later years as a channel the person turns into someone who is extremely excitable and overly energetic. Your delivery is perfect. Please never change!
I began my apprenticeship in 2014 and watched your a/c videos and rich lean vids when I couldn't understand what those codes meant because the dealer didn't have proper training. I became way more efficient over the years from watching your vids over and over and now I know how to read and diag lots of things but still enjoy watching your videos to refresh my memory. The videos you upload may seem like nothing to some people but it definitely changed my life by improving my skills in my trade. Glad to see you upload more vids, keep up the awesome work!
I was taught how to read electrical diagrams while in the Air Force since we had to work on the weapons systems on the B-52 bombers and they wanted us well trained to do the job. I thank you for showing us how we can look at a diagram and figure out where the problem is and I have some tools such as the multi-meter and various meters and I use them when needed.
this guy is the most knowledgeable mechanic, car youtuber. I think anyone who is wants to get in this trade must watch his content. The way he explains is so clear. Ive been a mechanic for over a year now and ive learned so much from his videos. Only person who comes close to his content is eric the car guy. Very underated channel. Hope he gets 1 million subs soon.
I learned to read electrical diagrams from my engineer cousin as a teenager, but I have but forgotten almost everything, as I chose a completely unrelated occupation later. Thanks for a great refresher/tutorial!
Hey R&R I’ve watched your channel for years. Fantastic to help demystify automotive issues. & your humour is a great ‘circuit breaker’. Your long reach ratcheting wrench’s have been a game changer. Doesn’t matter how many power tools I’ve got - they’re the 1st tools to go in the bag if I’m out. I loved my Audis. But too expensive to keep on the road. I now have 2 new VWs as family dailys. But have collected (somehow) 3 Saabs & 15 Suzuki Vitaras (Geo tracker). 2 Saabs are convertible & 8 Suzuki’s are soft top. All aged between 1980 - 2002. To be fair - things have got out of control. & yes. My wife is still with me. I’ve just joined your Patreon account. Easy decision. Keep up the great work. Cheers from NZ. 🤙🤙🤙
Hi Patrick thank you for your support both here and on my patreon page :) Long ratcheting wrenches are truly a life saver, especially if you've got your hands full with 20 plus cars :) cheers
So that’s why you can just connect ground to any metal part... thanks for that short clip explaining and showing ground wire back to the negative terminal dude. Now it makes so much more sense.
Me too. Have you viewed any other electrical related videos frok him. I only see the mechanical stuff. Also i browsed on his patreon page but could not pick a membership
Great info. Great content. Motivating for inexperienced learners. A video on your opinion on how people can go about learning automotive repair properly would be dope.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make these informative videos. I've been scammed various times by people who claim to know what they're doing and I've saved lots of money with your channel and also learned a lot as well. Excellent!
Something very important that I think was missed is that the diagrams are always drawn with the car "at rest". Meaning the diagram shows what position components like switches and relays are in when the car is turned off. It's important to know because once components become energised (car turned on), then things like relays will turn on and make other things live.
I must have watched a dozen videos read and reread manuals... At exactly 2:29 you reminded me of an obvious operator error -- having undone several aftermarket catastrophes on a used 1979 Dodge b200 I forgot to reattach the negative battery terminal to the chassis!! Thankfully only 1 terminal connector melted at a splice point Next time I'm searching your videos first ⚡🍻
Very helpful video! I think you should make one based on how to know and make the difference between all the symbols (like a fuse, relay, solenoid etc) and how they actually work in the electrical system.
Thanks for this! I'm looking to diagnose the roof on my Z4 along with a video from Diagnose Dan and this was very helpful. Tough part is currently the interfacing software
I like to see you using that US General box because I know its not the box or expensive tools in the box but how the mechanic uses them. Ive worked with guys who think if they buy the most expensive stuff on the market they will be in the club,.....wrong ! Some of these ASE guys were scared of a welding torch. I remember putting a 1200 dollar snap on 1/2 drive impact to shame with my 275 dollar Earthquake. Talk about somebody getting ticked off ! New sub here,great channel !
Great presentation. A diagram can be tricky to look at in a manual. If posible I enlarge it on a photocopier, or just the relevant section. Check the manual 'cause some circuits are sensetive to input from meters. (This will come up next)
Hey thank you for this and keep up the good work! I’m going to watch the welder battery video you made next! My guess is it will work for a little while because of how thin car battery electrodes are depending on the type of battery!
I agree that reading a wiring diagram can be confusing for those who have never done it, but they're pretty easy once you know what you're looking at. The problem today is getting your hands on a wiring diagram in the first place. In the last 30 years, automotive wiring has gotten so convoluted that the diagrams in the back of most DIY repair manuals (i.e. Chiltons or Haynes) are nearly worthless. We went from being able to put a car's entire wiring diagram onto 3 or 4 sheets to needing a wiring tome of dozens if not hundreds of pages just for one vehicle. Hell, just finding a Ford diagram for which fuses are what can be a pain. What most of us need is a diagram of the system that we are currently working on.
all manufactures have tech info websites that you can pay like $20 for one days access, and look through as many wiring diagrams as you want. You used to be able to download the info. as well but they dont allow that anymore. But you can print or screenshot the entire manual if you wish.
@@Mach141 Yeah, I tried that once. Granted it was a few years ago and I don't remember the name of the website, but it was highly recommended by everyone I talked to. I paid my 20 or 30 bucks for 3 or 4 days of access to a "complete" wiring diagram. I don't recall which vehicle (it wasn't my Tacoma so it had to be a US vehicle) or which system I was working on. Anyhow, the website explicitly stated that it covered that system on that year of vehicle. On the diagram it clearly showed a wire going to that system... and that was it. No further details. I carefully examined all 70 or 80 pages of diagrams. Nothing. Half a week and at least $20 wasted. Before I cough up money again, I want some assurance that the information I need will be there or at least some kind of refund.
R&W Sharpie!? I find that a highlighter is much better cuz you can still read the underlying diagram. And they're available in many delightful colors. Which is actually very useful for highlighting different contiguous conductors. You can use coolish colors like blue or green (I've yet to find a black highlighter, er, lowlighter) for grounds or ground-side switched wires, and warmish colors like red, pink, orange for always-hot, switched high-side, or +5V, and so on.
I’m 50 and I wish I woulda got into this trade. Man you are a great teacher!! You explain things very simplistically. A lot of teachers try to boast knowledge and made things more difficult then they need to be. Thanks man 🫵🤙
I really enjoy your videos & how you break things down & explain in novice terms. I have a video idea for you unless you've already done this. If so let me know. I have a 92 Geo Metro 3cyl. 250k mi. Runs rough & smokes. I'd like to take out the engine & get it refreshed by a machine shop. I'm not entirely sure what to ask or expect especially in prices.

Checking crank & cams & bearings & maybe polishing crank. Maybe a few more things but again not sure and like I said most vids are for aimed towards racers. I'm actually more interested in a optimal mpg build. What would you recommend? Thank you.

Does anyone have advice on how someone like me with basically no autoelctircal experience could work on a project like this? I know it's a kinda vague question but any feedback is welcome :)) and thanks in advance
I watched your suspension videos since I'll be doing mine soon. Can you get away with torqueing before you set the car down or is it a must to do final torque after on the ground. Also, if after, if it is to be torqued at 100lbs, would you torque to 90lbs and then the final 100 after on the ground?
Thank you for explaining wiring diagram could you pleas explain how you can test any sensor out of a car with a voltmeter to see if the is the sensor is working or not Thanks Lawrence
You have to recreate the environment that the sensor is sensing in order to see if it's working or not. If it's a temperature sensor, then changing the temperature (boiling/freezing water) and watching for a change in the resistance on the sensor can be helpful. Sometimes you just have to back-probe the wires going to the sensor to see whether it's in the proper operating range. (often changing - sometimes too quickly for the voltmeter to follow accurately). Sometimes you have to just disconnect something and see if the car's behavior changes. If it doesn't that's not always a good thing. Sometimes you have to "activate" that circuit in order to test with pulling a connection. For instance, a high speed fan circuit may require a certain temperature range, or RPM or the activation of the air conditioning compressor. Bottom line, understand how the sensor works, so you can see how to test it. Intermittent electrical problems are the ones that you pull your hair out on... Learn to also use a OBD2 scanner that shows higher details than just reading codes. Some are phone based. Get a decent volt meter and know how to use it to test across loads, or check amperage readings (need to swap probe positions for this). Learn not to do resistance checks on a live circuit. Learn ohms law. That way you can use a voltmeter to look at voltage drops across a load and determine current readings. Learn to "divide and conquer" It may mean you have a single sensor or problem causing multiple problems. But you may also learn that there are multiple problems there, and the computer has been compensating for it. Also think about what might have caused a sensor to fail (ie, O2 sensor can get clogged when running too rich for too long, or burning odd substances, or NOT burning fuel until too late (in the catalytic converter - makes loud booms).

@@mauricioespinoza5390 If you're referring to manuals such as Hayne's and Chiltons, they only have a small selection of wiring diagrams for a given vehicle. For example, the Haynes manual I have for one of my cars has 11 pages of wiring diagrams. In reality, there can easily be 50-100 pages or more of wiring diagrams for a given car. They even state that "since they can't include all wiring diagrams for the car, they've just included the most commonly used ones".

the first time I did auto electrical wiring I was 19, working on a pos '67 mustang my mother bought me for an unwanted birthday surprise gift with my own money she stole from me. i hate wiring now and I prefer to buy new wire looms instead.
Where can you get wiring diagrams? I have them for my vehicles for for others? BBB Industries used to have them on their website for free but stopped that a couple of years ago.

the first time I did auto electrical wiring I was 19, working on a pos '67 mustang my mother bought me for an unwanted birthday surprise gift with my own money she stole from me. i hate wiring now and I prefer to buy new wire looms instead.
Who the heck dislikes this video
People who are scared of electrical work
People who don't like avocados
People who are negative
Bitter basement dwelling trolls.

Good info
Thank You well done 👍🏻
Where can you get wiring diagrams? I have them for my vehicles for for others? BBB Industries used to have them on their website for free but stopped that a couple of years ago.
Great video!
