These types of diagnostic videos are THE BEST for those that are new to electrical troubleshooting. A+++!

audio is bad

To find if you have a ground in your wireing system. Take off your hot wire coming from your battery hook up your tester one lead to the. Hot terminal going to vehicle. Then to your hot on your battery if it lights up you have a ground. In your wireing system

I tell all the newer techs that come up to me and ask if I have extra 10 amp fuses, 1st I say why? Then they say I have one that keeps popping, then I say, NO, put a bulb in that spot...

Your way of finding a short has me mentally confused. I'am going to watch this a third time .ck,wisc.

Couldn't you use a test light instead of a bulb?

I've diagnosed a short exactly like that, they screwed the screw into the wire. I used the power probe ect3000. That tool has helped me find me all kinds of shorts.

The bulb works fine, but you have to look at it to find the source. A low amp buzzard works better. Not having to look at it helps a lot😮

Up late,Stayed up till you found that short ⚡️⚡️💥

Basically a manufacturing defect

Great run through of using bulbs instead of 1000 fuses, haha.

Jake I enjoy all your videos.

I loved your clear, logical thought process to trace a dead short through the BCM.

Thank you very much, the way you arrive at the fault is the main thing

Great work! I appreciate you taking the time to demystify by explaining the diagnostic process. The details you provide to narrow the issue through circuit elimination are awesome . So simple watching you do it. Though more difficult in reality. Thanks for making it look easy and simple to understand.

I'm addicted to your videos since finding your channel..., when you kept one lead of the bulb to the 12v pin on the bcm connector and removed the other lead that was connected to the ground bar in the dashboard and started tapping into other circuits, it took me a while to figure out what you did there and why?? You did that because you were looking for a cirtcuit that is shorted to ground so u kept one lead to 12v pin while the other lead if it finds a ground or a short to ground it would light up...

Excellent find love your diagnostic approach

Your a beast brother, made that look easy. Great explanation on using the light to find the grounded wire, and verifying the short was gone after the repair was performed! Love the channel man! Ill be binge watching all your videos now haha

That was a great case study. You did a great job of breaking the system down in order to find the problem.

I always wanted to learn electrical. Keep putting your videos out there, I learn a lot from you,keep up the good work.
