Excellent video. If I can add one thing, when I first started to learn wiring schematics; I thought that “run” meant the vehicle had to be running. Didn’t realize that it just meant the ignition cylinder needed to be in the “run” position. I’ve gotten smarter since then, if only marginally so😊

That is correct. With the key on, power will be available on the battery side of the relay, not on the load side. Turn the relay on, the path is completed, and power is now measurable on both sides of the switch.

Good questions! Many modules have more than one connector. In this case, they are labeled "A", "B", "C", and "D". The letter refers to the connector, the number to the pin opening in that connector. And yes, you can find the info in Mitchell 1 OnDemand as well as ProDemand.

If the path shorts to ground BEFORE the load, it is just like placing a wire directly across the batter posts. (DON'T try that at home!). If the short to ground occurs AFTER the load (the ground side), the load will regulate current flow just as it does normally.

TY !!! I am seeing short to ground code (Promaster 3.6L) and AC compressor issues (forget exact wording, been a few months, but I have melting in Power Center (destroyed) ground wires at body frame near Pow Cen & headlight are burnt. Thinking short in compressor and maybe before load causing this damage. ?? Your comments here help ! Afraid to take to dealership from comments I have found.

Hello, Pete. Excellent video ! Could you please explain to me how the diode protects the computer and why you wouldhave a different amperage at F6 and F8 when you use and amp clamp or a dvom?
@MotorAgeMagazine6 жыл бұрын
The diode only allows current flow in one direction. When a coil is de-energized, the magnetic field collapses and that could cause a voltage spike to try and follow the wiring back to the ECM. Without the diode, that spike would damage the ECM driver. As for the difference in amperage at F6 and F8, that's due to the different loads fed by the two. F8 powers the solenoid (very low current load) and F6 powers the compressor clutch coil (much higher current load).

Also what is the connector number going to tell me, will I use that connector number to locate connector if so where is it , I don't think it is there in Mitchell, may be in pro demand to identity connector..i may be wrong.

Pete , First time caller looking for help. I bought a 1966 Thunderbird with electric door and wing motors. Both wing windows work . Driver window works with 12V supply, not with switch, passenger window not working with switch . have not removed passenger door panel yet. Came with new switch cluster and only three wires run from each switch. Continuity on all the wires to driver door test positive. The circuit includes a Window Regulator Safety Switch with 3 wires going to it. I don't know what this safety relay is or how to check it . Can you enlighten me. Thanks . Td
@garyvanremortel52184 жыл бұрын
Why wouldn't we just swap a relay out with one from a working system and cut to the chase? Relays can't easily be damaged by any other fault except a hard short in the secondary circuit. Is this considered bad practice?

Great video... thank you for taking the time to make it. I would like to ask why are component diagrams and OE diagrams so different? I have an electronic fan issue and I got stuck on the component diagram because it indicated that the fuse was "hot at all times" and started to check on the conjunction box for the fault. Whereas the OE diagram indicated that the fuse was "hot on run." Is it a printing issue, an oversite or just plain human error? Any thoughts?

continued.. circuit protection device.. (fuse) not sure why this should be always positive.. I mean fuse conventionally used only for positive, but you can discard and have ur negative wire and have a fuse,, I don't see any challenge in that, right?. it is just that engineers like to keep on positive side,, I can think a situation where there is good amount of resistance on positive side, but let say there is a short to power on the ground side, current will take least reistance will melt wire

A great explanation that would have been even better if you would have made the ultimate "problem" being a necessary sensor input to the PCM at the bottom right of the diagram. I understand that, practically speaking, you've covered the "most probable" causes, however, the presentation is weaker on the "I'm pulling my hair out" diagnostics!

This video sucks. It's for people who need to learn how electrical works and how the components work. I came here to learn how to read the diagram and I still don't know. At 1:18 I just needed to know what the W5 and X7 and C1's and other numbers represent. I don't need to be taught what a diode does and how a relay works.
