When I served my time as an auto electrician my teacher told me . . People don't pay for what you do . . They pay for what you know ! . . Nice video Ryan
Great video! I understand about customers being grumpy about payment. Some customers have been charged for parts and work before you’ve found the fault, so they feel a bit peed off. You come along and find the fault in 10 mins, good on you! You charge what you like.
Glad you explained about how you charge 😅 customer need to understand that. As already said what i agree with that they pay for what you know not always do.
@@mrautoservices7354 One other question I know you use HGS data Do you use any other database I’ve used Autodata but found it the last few years to be useless. Tried Alldata but again it was hard to navigate but pretty good for wiring diagrams
Brilliant videos Ryan.. Really insightful diagnosis.. When I look back it was relatively easy in the 1960's through to 80's as electrics were quite basic on 'everyday' vehicles. Modern cars are a completely different ball game.
When making repairs with insulating tape in tight areas, get a 1/4 inch socket put it on a drill and spin tape off a roll onto the socket to make a mini roll of tape. Makes it a lot easier to wrap looms in tight areas.
Great job. Have you tried the liquid insulating tape? When it drys it,s pretty insulated. Good for small spaces that are hard to get tape round. Hope it helps. Thanks very much for the great video
Always like your videos!!! And you changed one of those bgpa units today. Other test was bottom right side of the unit is the relay switched live outputs and they wasn't turning off as the relay was stuck. Should switch off when car is locked.
Brilliant content sir I’m curious I’m local to you I have a Honda Crv 2018 is there anyway to disable start stop without having to press the button each time thanks if it’s a service that can be done 👍
Hi Tim, By putting the testlamp in series with the fuse holder itself it lights up due to finding a path to ground (short) If the lamp did not illuminate it would mean a short is not present Obviously the feed side of the fuse holder has a live so when the opposite pin (output) finds a short to ground it will light up the test lamp bright indicating a short to ground is present
Great vid Ryan - in regards to the focus and cost - how did you manage that with the customer - I understand you charged what the job was worth but what was their expectations/ballpark when you originally made contact - not wanting to know actual costs mate just how you managed it
The price is for your time skill and thst isnt cheap. However you are cheap because you spend time to correctly identify and fix first time. Repeat trips to garages and good old part darts cost way more
Great video… you should value & sell your worth. I think you should have a minimum charge and travel.. which should be agreed with by the customer beforehand. i suspect many garages would do the same.. you are not billing for what you do, you are billing for your expertise, knowledge and qualifications!!!!
Great video Ryan. Do you have a link to the leads you use for connecting across fuses and the leads you use with the h7 bulbs do you? Cheers Ryan keep up the good work mate
You charge for the accumulated years of experience... The customer should be happy you sorted the problem quickly.... It could be sitting at a Dealership for weeks and the problem will still be there and still get charged
Dealers dont allow customers into workshop or sometimes even prevent cutomer talking to techs , you as a mobile tech are wide open to customers , difficult for customers to understand . lot of on site trades have a minimum fee for call out and then fee for repair /service , call a gas or heating tech out !

Thanks for watching Patrick 👍
I love when you get short to ground faults as I think these are the most interesting especially when it's a wire, love to see more of these
Thanks for watching
Another excellent lesson in tracing and hand repairing electrical faults.
Just shows its not always the electronic unit that needs replacing.
Thanks For watching colin
Not only the knowledge and the experience but also the van costs, tools, and diagnostic equipment to be paid for. Another great video.
Thank Mike 👍👍
Watched a couple of your vids so far, if you don’t mind me saying it’s nice to see a young lad in the trade and one who knows what he’s doing 👍
Absolute pleasure watching your videos keep them coming 😊
Will do Pete thanks
Cracking job Ryan, excellent fault finding, some people don't realise what's involved in just a "simple wiring fault" 👍👍
Great video! I understand about customers being grumpy about payment. Some customers have been charged for parts and work before you’ve found the fault, so they feel a bit peed off. You come along and find the fault in 10 mins, good on you! You charge what you like.
Good one again, interesting how you check for a short to ground
The customer is paying for the fact that you know what to fix. You have also been honest and said what the fault actually is.
Ryan that was as excellent as always. I enjoy watching you work and your general approach to diagnostics.😀👍
Excellent work as per Ryan. Greetings from S Devon.
Thanks
You seem very good at your job with a great success rate well done, and very informative videos too 👍😀
Glad you explained about how you charge 😅 customer need to understand that. As already said what i agree with that they pay for what you know not always do.
Brilliant to hear about charging for your knowledge. Not something you hear people talking about on TH-cam.
Thanks gor watching 👍

👍
Thanks Philip I appreciate you watching the channel

ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO ALWAYS GREAT TO WATCH !!! COULD I BRING MY CAR TO YOUR AREA AS I KNOW YOU DONT DO EDINBURGH? (MY CAR HAS A INTERMITTING FAULT!!)
Shocking that the manufacturer of those cars, didn’t think it was necessary to put in adequate protection for the wiring loom in the factory.
Brilliant content sir I’m curious I’m local to you I have a Honda Crv 2018 is there anyway to disable start stop without having to press the button each time thanks if it’s a service that can be done 👍
Hi Ryan. Great video. What do you use for your wiring diagrams mate. Cheers. Craig. 👍🏼🙂
Hi Ryan.Great video mate.
Cou you explained how you done that please.You basically bypass the fuse .?
Cheers Tim
Hi Tim, By putting the testlamp in series with the fuse holder itself it lights up due to finding a path to ground (short)
If the lamp did not illuminate it would mean a short is not present
Obviously the feed side of the fuse holder has a live so when the opposite pin (output) finds a short to ground it will light up the test lamp bright indicating a short to ground is present
@@mrautoservices7354 thanks Ryan.That is a really good way.Cheers mate
Don’t suppose you have a link to the leads to help you connect across the fuses and to piggy back your test light into do you? Thanks
I think its from Aeswave, search-> 'uTest Advanced Terminal Test Kit'
Its out of a aeswave kit graham you have to order them from the US
@@mrautoservices7354 thanks for replying buddy, looks really useful even for a driveway chap like myself trying to locate a parasitic draw on my T4
Great vid Ryan - in regards to the focus and cost - how did you manage that with the customer - I understand you charged what the job was worth but what was their expectations/ballpark when you originally made contact - not wanting to know actual costs mate just how you managed it
Ryan, any idea if that test light is still manufactured? Struggling to find one anywhere. Excellent content!
Which service do you use for wiring diagrams?
The price is for your time skill and thst isnt cheap. However you are cheap because you spend time to correctly identify and fix first time.

Thanks for your comment Neil
The customer would have spent much more at the stealerships and their parts canon.
Dealership diag starts at £150
Great video Ryan. Do you have a link to the leads you use for connecting across fuses and the leads you use with the h7 bulbs do you? Cheers Ryan keep up the good work mate
Its out of a AESWAVE kit bud you have to get them from the US 👍
Knowledge is power and like you say you make it look easy but it isn’t.
Thanks kevin for watching
great content keep it up. pity your so far away
No change the dealer technician would have found that, great job well done you
Thanks
Electrical issue on a Peugeot ??
Never, I don't believe it!!!!!!🤣🤣
You charge for the accumulated years of experience... The customer should be happy you sorted the problem quickly.... It could be sitting at a Dealership for weeks and the problem will still be there and still get charged
Hi what brand of brakeout leads do you use and test Bulb thanks
This is out of the Aeswave kit, And just a normal h7 bulb
OK. Did you make the test set up for the h7 bulb your self
@@GaryMcclenaghan Yes, Just a ceramic bulb holder and some cloth tape with a magnet inside the tape 👌👍
Great content as usual Ryan. Could you please explain the abbreviatons a bit more so us not so enlightened may understand a little more🤔
Sure will do 👌
