Thanks. Thanks for the simplicity and directness; sadly lacking in many such videos. You have a gift for simple, no nonsense explanation

[vtownboxingfan]

I'm a real newbie when it comes to electricity so I learned a lot from your video thanks!

[gregporter]

You are a very good teacher, you made it simple enough for me to understand. Thank you.

[dazvagodb]

Video for amateur car DIYers, best video I have found.

[johnshanahan]

Thank you! I've been trying to figure out how to test a plug for an alternator on one vehicle and a radiator fan on another. Now I know.

[RonPasillas]

Really Really helpful. Thank you. Love that you address the 'what if' questions.

[omarcastillojr]

Sweet. Finally we have videos on multimiters that are not on a desk

[alejandromolina]

Great video!! You made look so simple! Thanks

[Blaydrnnnr]

Good video. Very informative. I'm in the process of trying to install an AFR gauge and they recommend using a relay but still need to find a "clean" 12v source. I was recommended one of the wires on the plug for the coil and I want to test it for "keyed on" only voltage. Thanks!

[jaimebowers]

This is the most helpful video I found

[allanhughes]

You should be in school teaching because i am sure if you had been there when i was a youngster
i would now be a much wiser old timer..You make it so simple why oh why cant folk just explain things
like you do. I cant thank you enough for your vids please please keep going if there is any other field
you are conversant with just put it on here because i cant tell you how good it makes me feel knowledge is
everything the times i have paid a lot of money for some robbing b..stard to come and charge me a fortune
just to tell me which wire was causing all the problems and sometimes did not even do that thanks again..

very good vid! chris fix will be partnering up soon! :-)

[aliusa]

amazing, i just wanted this video to last much more, thank you for the great information .you really mention great details for beginner like me .can you please make a how to do voltage drop test video. merry Christmas and thank you

[gabels]

Is there any other tool to use other than a piecing probe? Something that wont damage the wire?

[orangev]

If you want to measure a generator voltage out put but don't know if it's AC or DC what do you set your meter to?

[jcarter]

Help, while setting up a dc motor thru a computer power supply I could not get to run only bump then shut off. When I put a multi meter in line between motor and power to check amp draw it works great. Can you tell me why?

[rico]

Well done. I'm learning. Thank you

[yazmo]

hay i love to check for power at the ecu im just not sure where to set the multimeter
Connector B48, pins 2 & 13 bring power to the ECU

car sit for winter in garage, wont crank, wont start no light in dash only light i can get to work is parking light,
battery is fine starter is been bench test working.
if i turn the key on i dont even hear the bee bee sound,

i just wanna make sure how to check correctly and not fry the ecu if its good.

im probably going to find the solution in your next video but just in case.

thx you for these awesome info

Very much so but I was looking more into the ohm part of the meter to test for continuity.

[goonzjav]

Nice vid thanks. i need to check voltage for a head light, so does negative attach to battery and then the positive probe to the headlight loom? will there be a reading? should the car be on?
