Guilty

[@GMAN420BC]

I'm sure you charged for the diagnostic. If you didn't, shame on you.

[@johnmitchell2741]

@@GMAN420BC Ive worked at dealerships back in the 90s people would bring their vehicles in to pretty much have a technician diagnose the engine noise , oil leak, drivability problem , which paid next to nothing when your working flat rate. Then they would tell the service writer ok thanks I'll bring it back later to have it fixed . Of course I would never see the vehicle again

Sultan Sikander khan Very good information, great refresher

[@ВиталийОвчаренко-и1н]

To effectively perform electrical diagnostics and troubleshooting, follow these steps: 1. Gather information about the equipment and its operation. 2. Understand the malfunction and identify parameters to evaluate. 3. Identify the source of the problem and correct/repair the component. 4. Verify the repair and perform root cause analysis. 5. Check for common electrical faults like bad capacitors or seized motors. 6. Use troubleshooting techniques like analyzing circuit behavior and reading circuit diagrams. 7. Remember that completing the electrical circuit is essential for it to function properly.

I can’t find that T-Harness anywhere on the internet. Assume you have to build it yourself?

[@kvautobizautobusinesssolut8606]

Thanks, great video on Electrical Diagnostics

[@powerengine367]

It was great, please put more tutorials on the channel❤️🙏

[@johnmitchell2741]

I worked at a dealer in Florida back in the 90s This almost new Cadillac came in customer complaint weird wind noises while driving My service manager went with me during my test drive and told me dont spend to much time on it ..The lady customer brings in on a regular basis when she goes out of town with her lover for the week 🤣

Thanks for the knowledge

[@edmundomoyo]

hi, I would like to know if you have online training course for auto electrical ?

[@nickemens7810]

I have got to the stage of isolating the circuit but I have had two different electricians in that cannot diagnose the problem. They know the faulty circuit but they don’t know why it is tripping the fuse. It only happens when it rains heavily.

[@MarineElectrical]

Bad insulation most probably

[@hotstud17]

Might have standing water causing a short to ground or corrosion. There’s a leak or waters getting in the body panels somewhere

[@charleslapsojr.9211]

Very well explained sir. But does a power balancing procedure make it easy? No hate I just wanna ask

[@daveyt4802]

Been seeing a lot of motorcycle wiring get rubbed through to the frame (somewhere) lately.

[@cassiusdio6048]

Very common, especially on older bikes.

@@brptraininginstitute8878 actually smelling comes in handy for diagnosing many automotive problems . Especially electrical with hot wiring and alternator's going bad . Video gave great diagnostic process .

If a technician needs to look up how to replace an ignition coil then he shouldn't be a technician.

[@okngarod7180]

Most Car repair shops, will add and declare good working parts as faulty, to charge customers extra amount.
