How to test a relay and the relay circuit

[@hugoaguas1]

Educated homie. I felt like I learned more from this video alone than from 20 plus others I've watched about relays. Keep it up vato. God bless.

[@georgemenzies9258]

After looking at all those other people's videos, your videos Part 1 and 2 are the best and most helpful! You're a true auto repair professional. Thanks!!

[@CtRealityNews]

I happen to be a Mechanic more less retired do to traumatic brain injury. But wanted to say you are a very good instructor/Teacher. You really explain things well. Just wanted to tell you Keep up the good work and hope you have a Merry Christmas and a great new year

[@StacyTurner1969]

I love mechanics who share their expertise for people like me, learning through youtube post and some by watching someone without them knowing what I be doing. Some men hate for women to do mechanic work. Thank you for posting this video because I believe my fuel pump relay has to do with part of the reason my 95 isuzu trooper isn't getting fuel pressure. I sure hope it's not the regulator.

[@keighleyhome]

Both videos on relays have been really informative. Cleared up a lot of misconceptions for me! Thank you!

[@KeithSWD]

Watched the "expert" relay tests before but they confused me more with all the long stories to tell. This video is so precise and packed with basics than more talk! Thanks for the precision, Homie!

[@raullcalzadilla3541]

Very, very clear without any wasteful words or explanations. Even a guy like me can understand it. Thank you!

[@tysoncross1120]

You had me at, put the wire in the A-hole...very clear and concise video👍

[@8Steady]

Probably the best relays video I've seen, bc it's not just a "hack" on how to test them, but how to understand and test what's going on. Thanks!

[@randalallen5792]

Somebody went to school, good job, Hector you kept it simple enough for even simple minded peeps to learn, Asta.

[@larrybrower5541]

Some body stayed awake during class. Lol.

[@markratony7630]

Homie Hektor, I enjoyed your video on relay testing. I am not here to criticize in any way. You have taken something that in general is fairly complicated to most shadetree mechanics and explained it in a very understandable and clear manner. You didn't get into tons of detail that is not necessary yet you covered everything that is important. I am a new subscriber and look forward to watching more video's from you. Thank you for a job well done.

[@KrimsonApoLLo]

Dude, you're a boss. These videos have been helping me out with electrical TREMENDOUSLY.

[@brianpayne6109]

First time ever i used the like button. I’ve seen good videos. I probably shoukdve gave a 👍🏻. But never stopped what I was doing to do it. You earned this one. Great , patient understanding, all of it and informative with out the fluff of bs.

[@taj73]

Tip my hat off for you, this is one of the best video ever. You made it easy to understand. I'm looking forward to learn more from you.

[@amandaenriquez8917]

Thank you. You taught me more in this video and the last video All bout a relay, than either of the mechanics in my shop. Working on Vespas is similar and on a small engine scale. However the push to computer control everything has put a few more relays in the bikes and this video, you yourself are an extreme help. Thank you for these videos.

[@engineerokikiola5178]

You really did a great job sir

[@johnsmith-qr5el]

Finally someone who breaks it down to where you can understand it. Now my problem is finding a video about the issue of where you mention the p c m running to where the relay connects.

[@mike814031]

i love the way he explains it, definitely helps how he takes the time to explain things! i really appreciate that

[@ferdinandaugustifson4424]

You obviously know ur shit, which can be refreshing, as not all who make videos do. Keep io the good work, your explanations are clear and concise without unnecessary rambling. Gotta dig it.

[@anadrol50]

Your Video Helped me out ALOT! with my 2006 Hyundai not starting after a cam shaft position sensor replacement turned out to be a blown Ignition fuse. I would have never known to look there if I had not watched this video it added alot of value to my toolbox. Keep them coming.

[@HomieHektor]

That’s what it’s about 🤝

[@izcoronel]

@2:10 you did not test for a good ground but to test if your test light is good because the negative terminal is absolutely a good ground i learned a lot from your channel and please continue sharing your expertise i thank you

[@juniors9699]

My boy hope you start making more good video like this one again with video you just save people lot of money

[@thams.3071]

You’re the best Hector very and easy to understand Thankyou homie

[@nicholasquintero1080]

Man these videos are so valuable... literally. You save hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Ty4 the effort!

[@JuanRodriguez-cm1rx]

Thank you my Hermano for explaining it as simple as possible , thank you so much

[@HomieHektor]

That’s how I understand it 👊🏼

[@jasonbyerly8617]

About to trouble shoot a dodge dart a/c system, you gave me some real information to start with. One of the sockets has a burn spot on it. I feel confident i can figure it out now with this detailed video. Thanks.

[@dmope22]

I watched this video twice. i but i need to watch it a few more time. I have a windshield washer motor with no power and I checked the fuse but don't know how to check the relay. hope I get it soon. thanks for this video. you rock. cheers

[@enriqueleon5456]

Like you said man no one on youtube show as detailed like you did .. 👍

[@mattywollaston3996]

Love ya work Hector, thanks heaps for sharing mate, this has to be one of the best presentations, and explanations of how to test these wily buggers I have ever seen. Cheers Legend 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@YourFajah]

Absolutely wonderful video.It was a great help to me and i'm sure to others who are experiencing like problems. Thank you very much.

[@RRR4RP]

A new fan here 1st video and I’m hooked to the content again Thanks so much

[@jeffnorman4228]

Hi Hektor, Great video. Having a fuel pump issue on my Land Rover Discovery 2 and think I have a problem with my inertia switch circuit. Got power into relay cavity but when did your ground test with from positive on battery with test light got nothing so not getting ground. Do you have any videos how to check the circuit.. thanks, Jeff N.

[@cienegagarcia9417]

Thanks for one of the best simplest ways to learn

[@jhonprieto4972]

That is what exactly I was looking for , the driver side door of my 2003 suburban died and I needed to know where to start . Thx GREAT JOB

[@jesusojeda6310]

Another one. You deserve loads of money

[@robertlaufa2389]

Lessons very helpful and informative because I can start to check and confirm the basics and problem shooting of my car myself rather than awaiting help from someone. 👍👍👍

[@JScottTalbert-Lawyer2Warrior]

excellent - i needed instructions on testing the relay circuit with test light or multimeter. very helpful. thanks.

[@nickeyswart5892]

You are a star 👍🤟🤘✌️✊🤜🤛

[@kirkwilson7169]

Blessings bro that is the best I have ever watched, I had learned a lot Blessings.

[@iftikharqureshi654]

Both videos on relays are great. Very helpful to know how these work, and easy to check relay and the circuit👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@wyattoneable]

Having an extra (known good) relay with the cover removed would be a great tool for troubleshooting. That's an awesome trick. A nice use of an amp meter too. Really good video Hektor.

[@HomieHektor]

wyattoneable Thanks again, this should help a lot of the new homies on the channel 😎

[@user-ty9lh9ze1d]

You can buy relays specifically for testing purposes. They have buttons that you push to test circuit. Very easy to use.

[@timothyyearwood1732]

You talk about bypass and frying,can you show?

[@stevenagosto3053]

Thank you for all your help and teachings!

[@ronbenedict7395]

Awesome tutorial. Love your videos.

[@kalenm3616]

Yes thank you great job at clarifying steps to a easy lesson learned your video has helped me thank u

[@BG-xh5rb]

Great instruction. What should you beware of when checking relays not to "fry" a pcm?

[@Klikklikboom0911]

Where the problem if you don’t get any power to that relay terminal??

[@ahmodahmed1453]

Again you hit the target for showing how to test relays and relay's box, well comprehension . thumb up all the well Homie Hektor.

[@Spitfireseven]

Yup Dude!!! You are pretty cool. This is a great vid! You gotta watch it a few times but that's because this video is so information packed! Just great. Now I can jump my fuel pump!

[@robertharris7627]

Very good video, Hector. Thanks.

[@rabar537]

Thanks for sharing, you are a great teacher, the best yet! You don't "BS".

[@Julian-zy1em]

Awesome video!!!. Having problems with my car, gonna use your videos to diagnose.

[@dominicdalessio4067]

You're very helpful and explain stuff very well

[@petewhittle2930]

Love this video same as the first one. I am new to this so bear with me. What meter do we need to test above 10amp circuits?

[@buzzbillsberrygb2294]

Thanks Hektor great video simple and easy to follow clear and precise

[@landasales1]

A video you can actually follow! Great info and video work!

[@thabomosupi3312]

Presentations made Simple, What a Good Job. Well Done!

[@odongohenry4863]

Absolutely simple and easy to understand. Make for me a video on a flasher relay

[@paulabrewer1101]

Man you're the bomb . I actually think I can do this watching your videos.

[@HomieHektor]

paula brewer you got this 🤙🏼

[@nashehanes1044]

No way, you're a girl!

[@tabithafisher3463]

Very clear and informative video... the info on relays finally 'clicked'. Question : I jumped my BMW and now it cranks and won't start and my check engine light is no longer working at all.... I could really use your insight on what might have been damaged. My car is a BMW 530i 1995.Thank you.

[@tabithafisher3463]

Yes I'm thinking that may be what happened. Upon further inspection (was under the hood checking my fuses and relays) noticed that a few of the wires connected to the DME were fried. Looked like they had gotten toooooooooo hot. Hoping you want to go over your technique for sautering wires together in your next video. In tips would be much appreciated...I really don't have the money right now to replace the darn thing. Thanks so much.

[@tabithafisher3463]

Update on my BMW...I was able to separate and splice the melted wires. Got the car running again. Thanks again for this video it really helped me on my search to figure out the issue with my car.

[@LuisMartinez-fr9gq]

Hello friend, can you help me, i have exact the same problem i was doing the jumper wire and now my car only cranks slow but it won't start, my car is 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe, how did you fix your problem i have been trying to figure out.

[@janairbrake262]

I like your teaching and explanation it so easy to catch up, your the man. Please more video to share it's good to check and hear your videos.

[@salvadorescobedo3361]

Thanks bro for the information God bless you great work

[@laurogarcia5243]

[@VictorMGonzalez-h9e]

Ooorale , El mejor video relay testing,, thanks

[@gusgonzalez8167]

Finally, Some more Knowledge too soak up the mind

[@br2millionaire774]

Appreciate your information I learned a lot from there. I have a question I have a 2011 Mercedes C300 that's not raining anymore. I'm getting interior lights but the car won't start I checked all the fuses. And noticed that one fuse had water in there. And it was labeled engine control relay check to see if I have ground coming from there but when I connected to the positive I'm not getting no connection. Thanks if you can help me out

[@trevorawai2540]

Hi, If you don't have the power supply from the fuse or relay box what will you do??

[@RRR4RP]

Very great job explaining love it Ty

[@Paul-rx2ov]

Great hack no schooling thanks for your help

[@terryweatherman4667]

Thank you for that testing a relays help me understand a lot. Couple questions first can a relay test bad and then appeared to have a stuck open circuit. I connected a 9-volt battery to it and you started opening and closing for me?.. also what's the best way to check my what's the best way to check my onboard computers. ECM Exedra Thank you

[@robertmullen2480]

excellent video, really well explained , one of best relay videos I have seen, thanks Homie , subscribed and look forward to more of your videos you seem like really nice guy and good mechanic!

[@jerryhood2799]

My nnñ me just uuyy you u it

[@kenlovan3931]

Thanks, Hektor. Now I can bypass the relay switch-side to make my ac clutch engage, so I can put stop-leak and coolant in my empty ac system. Very cool!

[@brandonvictor9388]

Does the AC clutch have to be engaged to add refrigerant to it?

[@craiggolden7072]

Awesome video, thanks!

[@daveo9844]

Excellent presentation 😎

[@shareifmomo]

Very nice video You should make a Video of how to text power leak that is draining car battery

[@elizabethduenas3811]

Thank you for your info. Have a 3rd gen Prius fan one turns on , fan two don't turn on ? Check fan motors with battery and ok check relays ok, check continuity from fan connector to relays but only one pin have continuity ??? check cooling sensor is ok ..Please any suggestions ?

[@garypederson7155]

Very good Video. QUESTION? How to test a Relay for Parasitic Drain. Would love a video on this. I've checked all my fuses and they are good but I'm getting a drain.

[@lastboomerstanding]

Excellent info!

[@ilsemorales4955]

Great video! What would need to be done if there is not a steady ground in one of the ground pins? I have an oem hid headlight that is not lighting up at times. Usually lights up in the beginning but turns off after a while. Switched ballast, bulbs, and even connected the opposite headlight to other side but the problem remained on the passenger side. Checked the hid relay for current, 2 power & 1 ground sends a steady light signal but 1 ground flickers on & off. Will it be a hard fix or should just take it to the dealer?😩

[@HomieHektor]

[@arthurnevarez7614]

Very well done thx for the info
