Awesome! This is my favorite one so far. That's sharp logic to pull out the fuse and see which side has the unwanted voltage. IMO the longer diagnostic vids where you show wiring diagrams and explain the thought process (ScannerDanner-style) are the most engaging and fun to watch for sure. That's why I subscribed!

My father in law worked his way through college as a mechanic. Eventually, he earned his doctorate in Electrical Engineering after getting degrees in both Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering. He was the hardest working and smartest man I have ever known. I learned very much from him. I was never able to tune a dual carb VW like he could. He was amazing. He always worked on his own cars. He had more than enough money just to buy new cars. He taught me to repaired ours too. His methods were methodical and logical. He was not a parts replacer. Your methodology reminds me of him . PS, He was the one who taught me to come to a complete stop before shifting from R to D. You are a very good teacher. Thanks for the knowledge.

Not knowing internal wiring will always leave us out in the cold. We once 'repaired' the bed on a Chevy 3/4 ton pickup and before I could get there one guy had bolted the rear light ground wire between the bed and frame. I left it as is but many years later the cops pulled me over in that truck because I didn't have ANY tail lights at all. As I pulled over I turned on the 4 ways which DID work perfectly - they allowed me to proceed with 4 ways on the further 30 miles to home to fix it at my leisure. What I found was that same ground wire had finally been pinched right in two such that it didn't conduct from either side but wasn't grounded either. One single ground shuts off all rear lights except the 4 way - flashback to the 70s when we were such bad apples running around drinking beer and other dangerous things and wanted to put in a switch that would kill our tail lights but only when we were up to no good and wanted to be evasive at night. Thanks Chevy what ever you did there works out perfect if only I could understand exactly what that was. Just don't drive right by the cops with your headlights on while in stealth mode. Kismet squared and cubed.

I like it when you do the diagnostics and think while you talk out loud cuz it helps me to understand the process of the troubleshooting . By all means, more diagnostics. I have an 02 Dodge Ram 1500 and I have a headlight issue. Im fairly certain it's a shorted out wire but I haven't gone deep into the harness yet. I have a jumper wire from one light to another and a jumper from the parking lamp relay running them both. Hillbilly ingenuity I guess.
