This is one of the best videos by far!

Thank You for that awesome bit of knowledge!

great video, Im going to try it on my Benzy. thanks !!!

Ingenious and simple! Great!

I found that wiring videos I watched were very helpful because it made me think to look in other places for my taillights problems.

Sir, You really make many people's lives easier and happier with your video.Thank You so much and God bless You! Miguel, Puerto Rico

one word…..BRILLIANT !!!!!

Thank you for sharing your tips. That was a cool one.

Wow,thats experience.... Nice video👍👍

Very good information- learned something new -Thank You

Fantastic, exactly what I needed to know, thanks!

excellent way to test the relay, good job..and thanks.

I was waiting for somebody to use the power probe 3 two tests relays thank you

That was an excellent bit of information. Thanks!

The tool he is using is called a Power Probe. It looks like the Power Probe III. It has a voltage display, but it is not a multimeter. It is a great tool and there are videos on youtube that detail it's operation.

So so well explained Thank you Very much

I love smart people with creative brains.

great info but I do have ? when you test a relay, I know pin 30 have power all the time, but what about the fuses do they have to be with voltage?

Thank you Sir, you are a "Relay Ninja".

"You can replace sugar with Saccharin, and Saccharin with Sweet & Low, but you can't replace Experience!" Thanks for the idea. 👍👍

Sounds real simple, thanks I will try it,,,

Nice. I think it will be helpful when i'll be able to locate the relay box somewhere in my Peugeot. A 2004 Peugeot, by the way.

great tip thank you, YOU are greatly appreciated.

Ingenious. Thanks for that tip.

Thank you so much for this!!!!

cool idea and great presentation, i say 5 stars good friend

Without knowing the details of the relay or without a wiring diagram, you won't. But just for your info most of the relays out there use a DIN standard numbering system. For example, for a 5-pin ISO relay which is very common, pins 86 and 85 are for the coil (86 is + and 85 is -), 30 is the common, 87 is the NO contact and 87a is the NC contact. You could use a voltmeter and observe your readings, but without a diagram you wouldn't know their function.

I've got issues going on and I can't be sure relays ain't the problem. So I'll put this to use. Thanks

Been doing that for power cables if no plug. Jam wires in socket and put plug on top. Never thought about using it for this though, so thanks. Now why is there three ground and one positive though? Was under impression low current passes through one side of relay creating magnetic force to put switch across enabling high current on other side to connect. Please answer me as new to this stuff.

Good Afternoon Realfixesrealfast take care and have a great day Realfixesrealfast 👍 Thanks 👍 From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧

Excellent method. Thanks.

That is pretty freaking smart. Thank you

I love little tricks of the trade like this knowledge is built up in many years very very good

Awesome ,greetings from algeria

Nice ... it will come in handy, thanks

thanks for ur video,one of the best

Real pro's tips and tricks. Thanks.

awesome way to test a relay.

Hello.I have an aftermarket car alarm and I want to tap in the flasher relay from the hazard lights,do you think if I do the same as you did with the wires hanging up and then run the wire from the cars alarm main unit ,do you think it will work si when the alarm comes on to have the hazard lights on to?like sound and lights the same time?

Very creative!!

Thanks for the information....really. ....thanks

How are you sir,I love your videos.my problem is a relay issue,I swapped out relays to engage my a/c clutch to no avail.I have dtc po645 on a 95 dodge stratus 2.5 v6 a/c clutch relay conrrol circuit,my question is,does my a/c clutch have a my compressor have a relay within itself? Or not.hope to hear from you thank you

Very usefull. Thanks 👍

Thanks for your help

on a 2006 PT Crusher does the air conditioner have to work for the radiator fan to work

Good Work Man Thanks

I always test the relay with a battery, listen to the click sound and remove the cover to inspect contact points and for signs of rust and corrosion

Having issues with my chevy venture it will start then stall didn't have this issue until I messed with a couple relays and now it starts then stalls

is it hard to remove/replace the fuel pump relay?Is it a "unplug and plug back in" type of thing?

Very Great !

a pesar de no ser un norteamericano se puede entender facilmente tu explicacion.gracias

Thanks for the tip.

Brilliant! Thankya, sir.

Thanks for the video very informative :)

Someone commented to me that this does not test the relay itself, but only indicates that the receptacle that the relay pins plug into is getting voltage, because the wire that you're touching with the probe is carrying current from that female receptacle, which would allow the current to travel to your probe, just the same as if the relay weren't there at all, and the wires were stuck down into the receptacles. If this is a mistaken conclusion, would you please explain how that is so.

Nice trick. Thanks

Great job God Bless

BEST VIDEO I HAVE SEEN YET, GREAT

my blinkers quit but its not the fuse or bulb...could it b the blinker fluids plus my wipers won't shut off ,should we try testing the relays ....also no horn or cruise control

What machine did you use in the video during the test ,..... mine gives me the fault P1517 on a VW golf 2003 mrk 4 , 1.6 liter.

Buahahaha! Man I love scrolling down to read the comments. Always a good laugh.

great video,, thanks

Excellent!!

awesome tech!

Oh man that's great. I'm always looking for better ways to solve car problems.

Thanks, very helpful.

@RobertNiez its a power probe, very usefull

Simple relays have a field positive, field negative and power to load. Jack Morgan, if you want to repair your own car, buy some tools instead of being derrogatory. What he is using is called a Power Probe. You need one to test for continuity, power, ground and to power a circuit. You need a multimeter to do many other tests, but you need to spend a few bucks. The multimeter is the least expensive, but can get up there in price for pro user models or for long term dependabliity.

I have a 2002 Volvo S40 but I cannot find the fuel pump relay please help me find it.

Great idea, thanks for sharing; and taking the time to do so! Mind you, if EYE had been clever, EYE would have thought of it too! :) NoAxe

Great tip! Thanks for posting. I like your tester, who makes it? Thanks again

excellent example.

GREAT VIDEO thanks

Very well done

What tool do you use (tester-indicator manufacturer)? Thank!

i have a 2008 pontiac g6 i replaced the low beam headlight connector and bulb but the low beam won't come on what could be the problem

Good idea, thanks :)

Good thinking!

Hi Can a bad asd relay cause my engine to stall and lose spark when engine reaches operating temperature??? 97 Dakota v6 3.9...I’ve replaced fuel pump,iac,tps,crank sensor,cap and rotor,cam sensor and pcv valve

Thanks for your time

Brilliant

Good job..

awsome trick..!!!

Thank you Sir!
