You’re either naturally talented on camera or have done a lot of practicing lol. Literally no stuttering, and very easy to understand. I plan on wiring a standalone ECU in the future, this video was very helpful! Thank you and keep it up!!

[@britneyautomotive]

Thank you!!

[@jefferson_Roberto]

I'm your fan here in Brazil, and when I saw you, I confess that it was love at first sight, you are very special ❤️❤️

You weren’t kidding when you said Leash Electronics are hard to get. I ordered some for my truck that I’m working on, back ordered till June 15!!!😭😭

You are brave for tackling wiring

[@britneyautomotive]

One of my favs!

[@travisowens2661]

Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. I've been working on rewiring my 1979 and its a challenging task for sure. You've helped me get a good start on how to tackle the daunting task. 🙂

[@britneyautomotive]

Thank you I’m glad it’s helpful!

[@LalaFox92]

Great vid Brit! So proud of all of the progress you’re making on KZbin!

[@britneyautomotive]

Thank you!!🤍🤍

[@78phensley]

Very well done! I'm impressed. It seems your Dad taught you right. I like seeing all of the extra details in your videos. Insulation specs, glue vs. non glue as well as the links.

[@britneyautomotive]

Thank you!!

[@SpyderGarage]

This was really helpful, thank you. We’re about to embark on a total rewire of our car with a Painless Wiring kit as well as a Holley Terminator X Max, so I feel a little more organized now thanks to you 😊🙏🏻

[@britneyautomotive]

Sweet! Thank you!!

[@trevorseals6588]

Something I want to try is using a Power distribution module or solid state relay and circuit breaker set up. They seem to be quickly replacing fuses and relays because they weigh nothing and take up hardly any space. Some of them are also programmable which helps eliminate extra wires. Motec’s PDM can use a CAN button pad so all of your switches are connected to 2 data wires that run through the firewall to the pdm, saving space and weight.

[@TrickShiftGarage]

Found you on TikTok. So glad to see you have a KZbin Channel! Can't wait to see the progress of the Camaro! 🤟

[@britneyautomotive]

Thank ya!

[@rb70383]

Just found this place. Good vid. Wiring and transmissions are normally ‘black magic’. The term for seeing if it’s the same wire from end to end is called ‘continuity’ 😁 I found a site ‘how to build a hot rod’ iirc. That site has good info about wiring as well. Basic hot rod diagrams. If you really have to start from scratch, it’ll help. Used that as I’m gathering parts to rewire an old Jeep. You can’t have too much info. Looking forward to seeing what you do. 👍🏻

[@britneyautomotive]

I appreciate it:)

[@danrez42]

As usual great job

[@v8tergt653]

I cannot find it or maybe you dont have one, but would be interesting to see you explain and show how each tool and crimp terminal works

Should check out switch pros. They make wiring simple, clean and easy. Eliminates almost all relays.

If I wasn't "slow" I would! Lol 😂❤

putting heat shrink over loom like that is such a pita. i like to get that fabrickey type tape like they use from the factory. you can get it on amazon fairly cheap.

[@britneyautomotive]

I have that as well. Adhesive heat shrink lasts so much longer as well as makes everything look professional

[@anthonys7565]

As a boat electrican and racer. Thank you. Hopefully people might understand that the wiring is as important, as anything else. Bad ”wiring”=reliability issues.

[@britneyautomotive]

Thank you!!!

[@gates_e2264]

This is good info to have. I do a ton of wire and its hard to locate places that sell the terminal I need

[@britneyautomotive]

Mouser is filled with a ton of different products however, difficult to navigate at times

[@gates_e2264]

I've used them before but alot of the milspec stuff is hard to come by or takes too long to get in.

[@britneyautomotive]

@@gates_e2264 anything on prowire? They have milspec

[@richardbates2367]

I have a a multimeter from Amazon it's the Astro ai m4kor and terminal testing accessory kit same brand might want to check that one out it's pretty nice for a cheaper multimeter..

[@Jase877]

Awesome video as a sparky by trade I’d have you as an apprentice any day seen your wiring video was great work 👍 On your points for checking voltage and the use of ohms you used the wrong words but I can tell you know the concept 👌

[@britneyautomotive]

Thank you!

[@frankkatsenis3812]

This was an excellent video on wiring. I love how organized you are and how quickly and concisely you explain complex ideas. Who taught you all this? What do you study in college? Do you think women are better at wiring, I think this is something women would be excellent at? Do you notice more females getting into cars?

[@britneyautomotive]

Thank you! My dad taught me all of it. I study zoo science. I’d prefer not to split yet another thing into gender. Women can wire just like they can do a motor swap and vice versa. You see more men complain about wiring due to the lack of women in the industry, I know quite a few women who HATE wiring. So no, male or female does not matter. I feel as if there’s more than there were a couple years ago but I’ve also seen many come and go as many don’t want to fight the sexism that comes with it. I also believe there are only about 50% who actually know how to build their own car and that’s just due to a lack of resources In my opinion.

[@dginta7932]

She is soooooooooo amazing.

[@britneyautomotive]

Thank ya!

[@RotaryDaddy]

Very knowledgeable! Where'd you learn all your wiring skills from?

[@britneyautomotive]

My dad!

[@jamest.5001]

I like to scratch start, and run everything where it needs to go, leave it about 12" long. put a few zip ties on it, to hold it where it needs to be, then lay it out on a piece of plywood, cardboard , and zip tie it to the board shaped like it will be in the car,,then loosely zip tie, and or, wrap, looming or what ever you are going to run the wiring in, shrink tubing is your friend, and label everything that isn't obvious, atleast, label each end, because you will not remember, 6months from now, what everything is. The 3x or 4x shrink tubing is great, and it comes in colors. To color code, the marine grade is great for exterior, it has glue to seal the connection, last thing you need is the wire to get wet inside the insulation, and in the crimp, start corroding, the it's corroded on each strand. So even if you replace the connector, it's still not going to make a good connection, and it can corrode 12" or more into the wire length, so unless you are going to clean each strand then repair the connection, it's not making a good connection, and voltage drop, possibly a lost connection can cause major headaches. Who is going to expect the connector to not be making contact with the wire, ) anyway, after I get it layed out loomed and labeled, put it back in the car, zip tie it to the car, then terminate the connections, shorten the wires that may need it, and always plan for the future, make it easy for the upgrades you may be planning for, Maybe run a extra or a heavier gauge wire for a second or high current fuel pump, run wires for a interior light, a small led light inside or under the hood can be a life saver when looking for something at night, and it weighs nearly nothing! Great video!!

[@britneyautomotive]

Good practices, I like it!

[@BALLERXD24]

What are common sizes of shrink tubbing you order and how much? Raychem dr 25? Raychem SCL?

[@LinksPerformanceRacing4088]

Hey I have a question would you consider doing some repairs on a LS wiring harness for a s10 if so please let me know thanks

Absolutely. And they are the only ones who offer that nice of a product that I’ve found. Although I really like the Eaton/bussman fuse boxes if you’re into minimizing factory wiring on a car and replacing the fuse box with something more compact.
