Classic Car Wiring is Actually Simple

A simple explanation of car wiring
Throughout the project we will build tools to help us along the way, the custom tools we build, we will upload our how-to videos

Don't overdo it Dave, the car and your subscribers will still be here !!

[@leeevans4635]

Great video..I'd love to see a 3D printing video...Glad to see you are on the mend Dave

[@philtucker1224]

Slowly and surely, you are clearly on the mend. Live long and prosper Dave! 🖖

[@DavesGarageuk]

Thanks

[@stevehalverson4315]

[@bigsquatchsasfoot1964]

Nice to see you doing ok Dave and hope you’re feeling much better mate. You know I was talking to my friend yesterday trying to find a fault on my car we were moaning about the modern complexes of car electrics so it was really great to see someone doing something I actually understand ! great vid enjoyed it 👍

[@DavesGarageuk]

Good to see you back Dave take it easy

[@RichardSibley-n1n]

Good to see you back on YT, take it easy Dave.

[@robertwalker9638]

Very happy to seeing you are progressing quickly. I completely understand what you are going through. Been fighting the "get well" game for the past three years. Just now feeling I am getting back up to speed. I have learned two things about vehicle wiring, One, take one wire/circuit at a time. Two, grounds are very important.

[@DavesGarageuk]

I'm sorry to hear you've been unwell for so long.

[@ianhands9289]

Nice one Dave. Just take it steady

[@WayneinOz]

Pleased to hear you are on the mend, Dave. Look forward to the 3D printing video to help those (like me) who are unsure where to start.

[@DavesGarageuk]

👍👍

[@Jim_M_75]

Take it easy Dave mate, nice to see you back at it though. I spent 3 weeks in hopsital this year, then told to go slow for a couple of months. Fair to say it sent me mad, not one for sitting around doing nothing.

[@DavesGarageuk]

Me neither mate

[@tonycrinion6086]

Great to see you back Dave!

[@micktuck5377]

Glad to see your on the mend Dave. Great content, nice to have you back. Take it easy & don’t rush the recovery mate

[@DavesGarageuk]

Thanks Mick

[@gtthompson5818]

Welcome back. Great believer in keeping things simple.

[@karlgt9989]

I found that once you strip out the wiring that feeds the lights, theres not an awful lot left, especially the older you go, and then you can treat each circuit on its own merit.

[@DavesGarageuk]

Indeed 😊

[@JohnMCdaid-vy2db]

Take it easy my friend and look after yourself.

[@salonenr3126]

Get well!!!

[@brentangus4048]

Brilliant video Dave! Take it easy…

[@martingibbs9277]

Yes, would very much like to see you on 3d printing. Cheers

[@keithlazell9681]

Good video Dave, you made it look so simple.

[@anthonyinkpen8894]

nice to see you back mate

[@ianmc1141]

Great to see you back Dave. Keep up the good work.

[@martingibbs9277]

Nice to see you out and about again and you're on light dutys 😂

[@jimmoore8943]

Can't wait to see this car on the road

[@DavesGarageuk]

Me too

[@davidbellerby7084]

Good to see you dave

[@Jagerbug74]

Great video!

[@stu2427]

Nice to see you back

[@paulfarghi]

Great to see you on road to recovery. The reason car Companies use computers to switch lights / circuits . its the reduction in cross section of copper wires, using the CAN BUS system. It saves weight and money in using lighter cables with less copper. Over 1.5 million cars it's saving £ millions but at the expense of home mechanic, and also providing manufacturer servicing income!

[@DavesGarageuk]

Of course it's money related, makes sense 🙄

[@hohocc1349]

But I thought Lucas wiring colour codes were always Brown/Black with an acrid smell??? Glad you are mending, thanks for the video.

[@DavesGarageuk]

🤣🤣

[@gavfreeman8797]

Let's hope no more wiring on you Dave great channel

[@DavesGarageuk]

[@williamstewartbuchanan5299]

hope your keeping well lad?

[@DavesGarageuk]

On the mend

[@matthewmachin5614]

Ok thought you were Supposed to be taking it easy mate!

[@DavesGarageuk]

That is taking it easy for me 🤣

[@Chris_Lastname]

Relays make me feel like a complete idiot. my brain just doesn't seem to understand the gandalf level wizardry that goes on inside them

[@DavesGarageuk]

🤣

[@martinblack5021]

Bet you made your own medication!

[@philtucker1224]

@@martinblack5021 personally, I think building your own Mk1 Escort Road/rally car is about the best medication anyone could have. My second-ever car was a bubble arch Mk1 (back in ‘73 😁) so I’m looking forward to hopefully meeting Dave and his car at a show one day and shaking his hand.
