CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO👍🏼 FUEL PUMP CHECKS AT THE RELAY kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdCXaMiDl96qY4k.html

I'm 75 years old and have been a mechanic most of my life. This is an excellent video. It is very easy to understand. Thank you. God Bless

I was a heavy equipment mechanic for more than forty years I was self taught on most of what I knew about the electrical end of the business I only wish I had someone like you to teach me some of these things great job keep up the great work

As a career electrician and a car hobbiest/buff that like to turn wrenches and test my circuits when I have a problem I commend you on addressing how to bench test a relay and to say great job, very basic info needed to diagnose a majority of electrical control issues in the 21st century and beyond. Good job man!

Thank you man. it is really useful video, I am almost 70 years old and I glad of learning of a young man like you! BRAVO!

This video was extremely helpful. I'm an auto tech student and I've been struggling with understanding electrical circuits. Thank you so much for breaking it down like this.

someone who actually explains the mechanics of a relay...refreshing.

I’ve been an industry mechanic for celebrities for 324 years. I just want to say that this is a well structured video with clear steps and information for a novice viewer. Thank you for your amazing work. AlluhAkbar

I've been a mechanic for 8 years... I'm 95 years old... and I never knew this. Thanks. Hoping to retire in next 15 years

I am a master Chrysler tech I can always learn from people like this this guy is a awesome tech

100% of what I was wanting to learn & 0% filler or BS. Freakin' BRAVO, Sir !

A guy good enough to explain this stuff to an electrically challenged guy like me! A small miracle.

bro, you literally solved my issue right as I was prepping for a fuel filter and pump change out!! THANK YOU!!!!

Thank you for an "honest to goodness" easy to follow and understand tutorial. Very helpful. Also, great camera work.

If all channels were like this, online learning would have been the best. Thank you sir. May God almighty bless abundantly

You can’t get any better of an explanation than this.. thanks homie 👌👌

I'm a Ford certified tech you made relay testing so simple. To each their own, thanks man!

All you need do is give the viewers a hand out with a sketch of what you excellently explained and you can charge them $300 for the class! Great job.

Thank you for explaining precisely and concisely how to check a relay. Most things are simple if explained in a simple way, and you have eliminated the mystery. Many videos I've seen about this subject are confusing. Also thank you for not elaborating on non-essential talk.

Hektor, this explanation and demonstration is the best I've seen. You've outdone the engineers' and doctorate professors' lessons. You have a gift of simplifying technical operations for the average Joe. Thanks for helping me pass my test!! Mak'n Latinos Look Good!! Keep up the great work!! I'm subscribed now!! Thanks!!

Great video for an electrician, too. I thought 13 minutes might be a bit much, but the education was actually straight forward, and to the point. THANKS 😊

Finally, One of the few on YOU TUBE that is really good at what they do, really good job, way to make it REALLY EASY to understand and do, ROCK STAR, HOMIE

Very informative Mr. Hector. You have the attributes of a good man and leader by sharing your knowledge.

You just saved me some money. I was planning on checking fuses and relays today. I watched your video, went out pull the relay, gave it a shake and heard that sweet rattling sound. 10 minute slater I got it for under 10 bucks and now the air is PUMPING!!!! I didn't even get my hands dirty. Thank you!

Hello, I am the self proclaimed "Queen of mechanical failures". Whatever I'm driving, it breaks down! It doesn't matter if it's mine or someone else's,old or new! So that being said, I've been forced to work on my own vehicles for years now . I love your videos especially about relays! It's so informative and easy-to-follow and I appreciate that!

Outstanding tutorial and I’ve have seen a lot as a retired aircraft mechanic for the USAF 👍🇺🇸

Thanks for the lesson, Homie Hektor. I was troubleshooting the blower fan on my 2005 GMC canyon four-door truck and wondered how to test a relay. It turned out to be the multiple ground module on the front passenger fender, beside the air cleaner, but now, I know how to test a relay! Cool.

FINALLY someone able to make this understandable. All others assume you know which pins go to what.

I hate bad videos full of unrelated information and bad editing and lousy camera work, so I really like yours! I'm just trying to be an informed car owner and sometimes do easy things for myself. you tube is a big help, but I can spend a few hours trying to get a few minutes worth of education and then, it isn't memorable. So I am subscribing to your channel.

You should always test the 30- 87 or 87a connection for Resistance. You can measure voltage or use a test light and that connection might look okay but still have burned or corroded contacts which will give you a Voltage drop/higher than normal Resistance which could prevent enough current from flowing to the Load. Your Resistance measurement should show NO resistance. There should be NO Voltage drop across those contacts. Otherwise you did a very good job producing this Video on this subject.

U tube is so amazing...the things that people know and then teach us..Thank you!

This video answers so many questions for me. Not only how to properly test a relay, but also a great explanation and visual of what actually happens inside a relay. Thanks Hektor!

Thanks man 👍 you know if you buy a relay you can't return it & you save me that trouble.Youre a genius

Very well explained simple Tech for 40 yrs great job. Lil homie 👍🏼

Thanks man you have explained these better than anyone has, very helpful

Hector, thank you for the refreshing change. Most automotive repair videos are PAINFUL to watch. They can't communicate, can't record video, and can't pronounce the parts they're talking about. I sure hope you're making some bank from these videos because you're not only intelligent, but also talking to you're audience like you recognize their intelligence, too. You're a rare breed..keep it up!

Just tested 2 relays but used a Duracell 9v battery as power across 85 and 86 then tester between 30 and 87 heard the clicks for power and the beep on meter , top man both relays working , great explanation ty.

Thank you Homie! You helped me to fix my 2001 F150 today with this video. I only spent $16 for a relay and it fixed my problem because I watched this video. Keep it up!

Cali here! Homie way to make it easy. You sound like a Pro!!!!

Super awesome video. You know someone really knows what they are talking about when they can explain something and make it so easy to understand.

While I know I should watch the video then comment... If you set your meter to min/Max (rec., Etc. Whatever it says) a good relay will have a very low voltage spike where as a faulty relay can exceed 600+ Vdc. Plz keep the awesome vids coming! Finally an electrical genius that I can understand.

Nice tutorial my man! Very clear and to the point, as well as being correct.

Great video. You explained the bench testing so quickly and clearly. My first electrical tech teacher took over 3 hours of lecture time and still have the class didnt get it. LOL

10/10 video for as a person who's very oblivious to these things 😆

Hektor - You deserve a metal and a job @ KZfaq reviewing automotive videos, so that, the crap gets ditched. Good Job!

You just got a subscriber. You deserved it

Always awesome to see diagnostic procedures and how to videos keep doing what you do brotha

I congratulate you and encourage you to do more of this type of video for electrical systems. Most of the time you do not find information regarding the fuse box and how to troubleshoot relays and car front beams. this is one of a kind video that I have watched twice. Thanks for teaching us how to troubleshoot relays.

Hektor, thank you so much. You didn’t try to trick us or bog this video down with fluff. I upgraded my HPFP and am getting a low fuel on startup check engine light. The fuse is good but I don’t know if the pump is priming on ignition like it should. My next step is to test the relays. Thank you for this lesson-

You are doing the lords work lol love this video. Even a simpleton like my self can grasp this .thank u dude u rock

😆 WHOOHOO!! "GRACIAS PAPACITO!" Being a Lady it's hard to find a honest fair mechanic. Luckily I've been learning about cars since I was in diapers 😂 but things I don't kno yet I look on KZfaq & so far your videos are the best sooo well explained & detailed. Instead of giving away half my paycheck to mechanics I fix what I can myself and then go get a manicure 💅 with the FERIA I saved 😎Tough but still pretty.🤗 😂😁😁 ❤GRACIAS ❤

This is one of the best instructional vids I’ve seen young man! Great job. I’m currently having electrical issues with some commercial mowers I have, and tbh, I never understood how relay’s actually worked and their purpose. You explained it in layman’s terms and it’s evident you’re very very knowledgeable in your field. Keep it up !!💪💪

What a good teacher you are!!! I find relays to be confusing and intimidating to be honest, but after watching your video I now see those relays shaking with fear because I know how to test them now, I no longer have to tell anyone to find somebody that knows how to test them because thats not my forte.... I appreciated this video so much that i put a thumbs up and subscribe aswell, thanks you Homie Hektor.

Finally!!! This is so helpful. Thank you for making such a detailed video.

I enjoy your teaching you're the real deal just keep doing what you're doing One thing to remember don't justify yourself to no man thanks again for showing how to diagnose a relay. Good job sir

After countless hours & different videos ...I gotta commend u for what & how u go about getting urs done....So simple to understand & follow. ON POINT homeboy 💯 Thank You

Excellent job young man please stay on this path you are doing an amazing job. !!!

Hell yeah you send said that just right dude. Things like that can be hard to explain sometimes you did a good job. Great video thanks

Damn, Son. You're a natural born teacher. Great explanation.

Superb Homie, precise, clear and no woffle great video! now to test my TVR fuel pump relay.

Homie hector, your the man. This is the best relay tutorial. I just subscribed and cant wait to see your other videos. Thanks for taking the time to make this

You’re a great teacher Hektor! So thorough. Subscribed!

Truly informative for the non mechanic...Thank you my Brother...Learned something today..FELICIDADES Y GRACIAS..

Outstanding tutorial. Very very well explained Thank you from the UK

Great videos! please, please do more basic tech intro videos on diagnostics and electrical please. Thanks. u da man!

My relay testing search ended after watching this video

Great video Hektor, no fluff just good clear information. I'll be checking more of your videos. Thanks.

One of the best instructional videos ever. Could have used this when I was building my VW Thing! Would have saved a ton of time!!!

awesome relays have always baffled me nice clear explanation and demonstration

One of the most common faults with relays is burnt contacts. Resistance checks don't work . A voltage test across the contacts under load is the test to use

WOW fantastic demonstration about a relay and how it works! For a guy who doesnt really understand electronics and volt meters your did a GREAT job making things clear. I now know how to test these on my cars. Muchas Gracious :)

Relay switches were intimidating to me up until I watched this video. Thank you so much,, I now have a better understanding of what a relay switches is for & how it works - God Bless...

Dude, this was a quality video! I'm surprised your under 50k subs! Keep at it though, you'll only gain subscribers faster from here!

Great video. I use this today for my car. Clear instruction and easy to understand.

Agree with Al-Sheik this illustrator is so awsome making hard things electronically easy for newbies.Thanks

Nice hector.you know what your saying,more importantly, you know how to explain it,which is equally important

Excellent demo.We expect more such useful demo videos from you..Thanks a lot bro,pl.keep it up.

Excellent video, complete and thorough explanation, and great editing.

You filled in the blanks I knew I didn't know. Thanks for the very informative video.

Awesome video. I have also been working on mechanical things my whole life and. Sometimes I forget how to test relays.

Hands on the best way to learn, thanks for the tutorials.

Wow You real made this so much easier. 🙏

Thank you. After 30 years messing around with cars I finally understand how to test these. Muchas gracias Señor.

You sold me lil bro ...I wanna grow up to be just like you.grasias you make me proud and truly restore my faith in our Raza. Cause man the deficit is a great one you gotta admit. But hey who am I. I judge not but am grateful for your insight .Thanks H.

very good job,, I learned a lot from your video,, THANK YOU

I wanna see you smack dat fly. With all seriousness aside, thanx for the instructions. Exactly spot on. Thank you

Dude!!! You absolutely put on a fuel pump relay clinic WoW, excellent! I'm gonna steal some of your explanation for my next video on how to test a relay, not all of it, but some, Good JOB! And thanks for posting.

*For the most part every relay have 4 therminals* Your tested relays all had 5 terminals.Thank you for video.

Thanks bro. a big help and quite informative keep on helping those needy like me😜😜😜

Very good basic and clear explanation-easy to follow! I like the way you took your time and showed exactly what you were doing-nice work!

BIG Thanks for this tutorial on relays...I'm still learning stuff about my old BMW R100GS motorcycle and this video really helped me...Brillaint job...From UK

Thank you so much I have plenty in my garage but didn’t understand how they work. Now that I know they will surely come in handy for many projects

Sup Hektor That CHINGADERA just made my brain explode LOL Good video like always 👍

Very informative! My thanks to you for sharing your knowledge..

GREAT Video. I bought a 1983 BMW 635CSI sight unseen. I brought it home .I saw relays disconnected. Whatn i plugged the relay in.The electric radiator fans would not shut off. I have no Computer, No Radio, No Speedometer , no Trip Computer, No Systems Computer Check, it is to the left of steering wheel and you push the black button.Any lights or problems the red light to say the tail light or right turn signal will light up.Thtat is No Bueno. Here's the Kicker. I turned the key and he goes " NO NO NO . You need to push the button, it is a push button start now. " Like it was a COOL add on. It is a PROBLEM with the electrical system. This dude had a 2018 BMW M^ and his wife had a 2020 X4. So when he bought this car. He thought you drove to your local Auto Zone and said " HEY MAN + I have a 1983 BMW 635CSI Grey Markey EURO and I Need Parts Hefa' . NO man it dont roll that way. I need HELP.......... Por fa Vore; Jp.. Great Video.....My e mail is tarponjpe@gmail.com

hey thanks a whole bunch, I use to be confused every time some guy on youtube was checking the control side and power side of the relay , now I fully understand thanks a millioin for sure , thanks again for your tips and knowledge for us rookies,

Great job 👍 been looking for such a explanation.

Very well said!!

99.9%of the time, if a relay clicks then it's "good." Sometimes the contacts need to be cleaned if there is not continuity on the load side. I use a points file to clean the contacts. Iv never had to replace a relay that was good on the control side. The old guys will know what a points file is. Good video and keep em coming.

Very easy to understand. Thanks for the video. Tracing electrical issues in an old Dixon Lawn Mower. I think there are literally ghosts living in the electrical system.
