If you are checking fuses inside, place your meter face down on your windshield. So you can see it and not have to get out to look
In hot weather, visually inspect the fluid level in the battery. The cells can individually dry out on non sealed units.
Yes thank you for sharing, I also have a separate video on that topic 👍
Jonny so glad to see your channel has exploded with subs in the past year or 2!!! You always have such interesting videos brother!!! It has been quite a while since i commented so congratulations on your success!!
Thanks so much Larry! I've shot a lot of videos recently & I'm still trying to go through & edit them all.
I fixed my dishwasher last week. Wasn't powering on due to a bad toggle switch on the latch. I replaced one of the switches 12 years ago. Finally the other failed. Easy peasy!
Awesome, always love it when it things turn out to be an easy fix. So many people throw things out that may just need a lil bit of tlc to fix and get it going again 👍
Next time dont call an a/c man you can do it too
I like the red/green felt gaskets. I've been using them since the 70s!
@@surf6009 yes they work great for helping keep battery acid in check 👍
Everstart batteries are usually die right on with their warranty. I’ve been fortunate to have had mine die a few months before the warranty. I just take it to Walmart for free replacement. I’m on my 3rd battery without paying for one in 8 years.
Wow nice! Yeah last time I got one there they said they're getting them from a different supplier now and the guy said they're even worse now! 😂🤦♂️ but whatever, I'll wait til bad then go back to Autozone batteries. Autozone will match the walmart battery price so it's not bad and they seem to last pretty well in my experiences
@@JonnyDIY thanks for the information!
I'd just go head and cough up 50 bucks for a battery/alternator/starter tester. That's a great tool.
Yeah I love that little one I got from Topdon, I've used it a lot since making this video on some friends cars
Wow your model hand movements are in point. Another slightly man adopting the younger generations style.
Thank you 👍
With bad diodes, an alternator can drain a battery with the engine shut off, too. Even if it charges with the right voltage while it’s running.
What are diodes
@@LoganJohnson-s1n I think he is takinkg about Idle issue, (I think typo error)
My alternator was charging while engine was running, but when shut off it draining about 1.5 amps, I tried to take it apart and only change the electronic parts but could not take it apart, so I brought ine from Junkyard, and it work fine, only drawing .005 of amps when engine shut off which is normal.
@@LoganJohnson-s1n An alternator creates AC voltage so diodes are used in a bridge rectifier configuration to convert the AC to DC output. A diode when working properly only passes current in one direction. If even just one shorts in the alternator your battery will drain because the battery will be energizing a coil in the alternator causing. There are a minium of 4 diodes in an alternator, some may have 6.
They are easy to test using an ohm meter.
What are diodes
12.2 - 12.3 is not bad and I've had new batteries around that. Its fine.
Also, battery drain from sitting on the floor is a myth, especially for that short of time. How are you going to lose charge through a plastic case?
I think I ended up replacing that battery as it wouldnt hold a charge for very long. New one works fine. Yeah thats an old myth from way back when batteries used to have wooden cases. My Daddy taught me not to put on concrete and one of those things I cant forget 🤣🤦♂️ he mustve learned from his father who was a race car driver & mechanic and passed to me
Thanks for this information having problems with dead batteries after putting new ones in on my wife's kia
@@scottchmiel3387 You're very welcome, happy to help. I hope you can get it fixed 🤞🙏
Thank you for your safety tip, that's really important. Just curious to know if batteries read lower due to usage after say a year. For instance if they show 500 on a multimeter and then they are 300 about a year later is that normal, or does that mean there is something wrong with the battery OR should the battery be fully charged before using the multi-meter?
@@KitKat-ob6nz You're welcome. Yes batteries do start to lose a bit of voltage and cranking power as they age. Best to test a battery a bit after its fully charged (maybe a few hours at least) to get most accurate reading 👍 sometimes if read it right after charging it gives you a false reading and goes down a bunch after few hours, a "surface charge"
@@JonnyDIY Thanks for clarifying.
My daughter left her headlights on over night and was confused why her battery was dead. Jumped her car with my trusted NeverStart power station, she drove her car a few minutes and let it sit over night, cranked up first time the following day so I doubt the battery is the problem. I took it for a drive today and never had a problem. I do want to get a battery and alternator tester.
@@MathiasBjorkman sounds like should be fine, as long ad battery not too old. Yeah I like the testers that do the load test on battery to see how much life they have left. Its helpful especially with an older battery that may be on it's way out. Nice to replace before it dies and leaves you stranded
If u pull fuses and put them back in it can wake up moduals am l right in saying that
@@barrycrawford1378 sometimes yes, also check relays too
The battery on the concrete is a old myth from the wooden batteries. New batteries in a plastic case will not drain on the ground or on concrete…. I learned that at UTI
Thanks for sharing. Yes my Dad taught me that and he'd probably learned from his Dad when they were actually wooden. I'll let him know we don't have to do that anymore 😆👍
What wooden batteries😮 and why wooden batteries needed another wood?
I have a Lexus IS250 2012, have recently experienced starting issues, cannot charge battery in the car, on previous cars, I would just take battery out and charge from indoor power socket. I notice you removed the battery from car to charge, my question is I've heard so many dealership mechanics saying I could screw up the electronics in the car by removing it overnight to charge the battery. Is this just scare tactics on their part or is this correct?
Excellent video by the way, well done you.
On some newer cars it's better to charge battery without disconnecting from car because of some electronics, I'm not sure if 2012 is a problem. May be worth reading on Facebook groups or forums. I would charge in vehicle if have option. May want to go take it to have battery tested may need replacing
Can't be damaged any electronic if removed properly and most important is some cars needed diagnostic equipment after replacing a battery or Manual entry like my 2014 renault scenic displays on the dashboard question if battery been replaced and simply answering yes or no from the trip control buttons.
Nice video. Question how do you recharge the battery of 2016 dodge journey without taking it off.
You can charge battery in vehicle, just do the same as I showed with battery charger. Red to positive and black to negative and double check settings if there are on your charger then plug in 👍 you dont need to disconnect any cables either just connect right to battery posts/terminals
Use a portable battery pack or a supercapacitor pack.
Okay, so if my battery is draining from fully charged to 4 volts, what would the issue be? I'm leaning towards the alternator, but it's also really cold here in texas during the winter months.
@@BlueFoxGamesYT I would start by testing the battery and alternator, if you don't have the tools local auto store, autozone o'Reillys can test for you. I'm thinking its the battery
Sucks. My 05 Yukon parasitic draw wasting my time I've had numerous electrical problems with Chevy vans. Wasted a whole day going to the junkyard to get a used radio because my old one was set at 12:00 every morning I thought that was it. Then I heard that it would be the ignition switch but that wasn't it.
Electrical can be the biggest nightmare sometimes
thanks for the info. watch at 1.25 speed
@@rainypath96 You're welcome, happy to help 🙌👍
That hand in your car freaked me out. 😂
🤣 lol had a friend get in my truck a few months back and jumped out of his skin when he saw it 😆💕👍
Please explain how that plastic case battery will discharge through concrete when charging it.
Lol it won't unless case was damaged. It's just an old habit from days of old when batteries used to drain from case
I was thinking the same thing, it is a complete misconception. This was from back in the days when batteries were made of wood or hard plastic, the wood would absorb moisture from the concrete and the hard plastic cases would crack when exposed to moisture from the concrete. The new polycarbonate battery cases would never be affected. Plus discharging through the concrete is ridiculous. 😂
@@PrecisionDiagnosticService yup it's from days of old, old habits die hard as they say 😆
It’s from the old days, but I still don’t let them sit on the concrete because I don’t want acid leaking out and eating up my floor.
@@boognish593 only way acid can eat your floor is if you spelled and don't clean it (Nutralize it)
Exactly what I needed to investigate a parasitic draw on my battery, thank you! But what I REALLY need to know now that I've watched, is where you got the "hand" in your console!!? That thing is AWESOME, and it's (oddly 🙂) not included in your links! I need one! Thanks....
You're welcome, happy I could help. Lol that 🖐 hand is a old halloween prop I've had in my different car for yearrrs. I always put it coming out of the dash somewhere. It's startled a lot of people 😆 looks like I found a very similar one amzn.to/3QzfqMI

Why not charge while battery is in jeep?
have to replace the bolt on my battery terminal. what kind of bolt should I use?

I have a 1992 S10 pickup truck with a 355 V8 and turbo 350 transmission behind it from a 1985 C10 pickup truck when I turn my blower motor on high for the heat it drains bad and I think it's a resistor because it only has high speed the other speeds can that drain the battery while you're going down the road the alternators brand new to the truck it's a custom so it's a little bit bigger than normal amperage it's a 160 amps and the battery is 3 years old with 800 cold cranking amps and 1000 hot cranking amps let me know what you think I appreciate it
Yes it sounds like the resistor as you suspected. I would start there. Hopefully it's just that 🤞👍
My battery voltage at the morning is 12,20, but when I remove battery from the car,and measure Volter after few minutes,the voltage is 12.55-12.65. Is this normal?
@@krtolebiohazardcs1.681 I don't see why it would go up, unless you're charging it. How old battery and does it still start strong. Test voltage when starting car and see how much voltage drop
@JonnyDIY new battery Exide. I also have another one also new,that only happens on Opel,but on golf don't.
@krtolebiohazardcs1.681 hmm if its new, I'd just run it and if any issues exchange it

Can u use a Clamp meter to measure current draw on negative cable ?
Yes a 12v clamp meter will work too. I only had a 110v one on hand. I should have mentioned though 👍
Good video. Informative and helpful. Thanks!
You're very welcome, happy to help. And thank you! 🙌👍
What I have red and brown when I take a meter to it to check voltage I zero on one and 12.5 v on other, red field to negative on battery and brown field to positive on battery. I was thinking of attaching voltage regulator kit to is this possible on 2011 Town and Country?
What symptoms are you having?
@@JonnyDIY one day it stalled out and won't turn on, replace battery and it did it again so change alternator and checked it was charging but all I got was battery reading 12.5v. then I pulled field wires connection from alternator and check it with meter and got 12.5v from one of the wires and nothing on the other. Thats where I am now. I really need this car to work, and I appreciate your help.
Can't you check voltage at cigarette lighter to give you alternator voltage ?
Yes they sell little ones you plug into lighter socket like this 👍
amzn.to/49fCKp5
@@JonnyDIY yes..i use that
Alternator connector getting really hot. Any help will do?
@@TrueHearted78 have you tested voltage its putting out and battery as well? If abnormally hot it could be bad or have a bad connection to/from it
@@JonnyDIY both. Battery & Alternator are new.
@@TrueHearted78 I would still test and make sure. New alternator could be faulty
@@JonnyDIY will definitely do. Thank you brother
2006 Equinox parasitic battery draw 1 amp please advise thanks
@@hawaiiislandsbhproduction1774 i would start by pulling fuses 1 by 1 and see when the draw drops and go from there 🤞
without start car Battery voltage 12V, after start car battery voltage 13,, just add new battery then idle issue and now car parts guy told me charging system fail, some one told me idle issue make this problem (not to chare battery and no battery ligh at all so still consider alternator?) please advice. appriciate your help
Your battery voltage should be running 13.5 to 15v with engine running. If not I would check alternator 1st 👍
Going to test draw using a multimeter as you showed. Something is killing my battery each week.
@@thenexthobby good luck, hope you can get issue sorted. Good idea to make sure battery still good as well.
I don’t know if it’s true, but can someone tell me if it’s true. Check if your alternator is working properly while the car is running disconnected the battery, it should keep the engine running and little by little turn on lights, radio and other equipment it should work with load. Is that true?
@@robertosalinas4970 on older cars, yes you could do that to test your alternator. But on modern cars it doesn't work
How low will it show if you have air conditioner in and lights?
@@Truthfulfisherman it shouldnt drop too low, should still be above 13 volte
Here’s my dumb question can you use any voltage tool for this? I got $20 one from Home Depot to check my dishwasher a couple months back. Could I use that or are there special considerations while doing this on a car that require me to a better/specific tool?
It should work as long as it has a volts setting 👍
Get a decent dmm. Greenlee dm820 is a nice meter for under $200. You’ll get a lot of capability out of a good meter like… min/max record, diode testing, capacitor testing, much better stability and resolution/accuracy, frequency testing, auto ranging, way better response time, faster continuity indicators, relative/ 0 function, amperage readings (up to 10 amps on most),etc….. it’s a good investment. The cheap meters I toss in an emergency tool kit and use for side of the road emergency troubleshooting to do simple voltage and continuity checks only.
hello when i put the multimetre at first it gives me 0.5A but after 2 min it deacreses to 0.02A is this something normal ?
@@hkiriaymen3596 yes that sounds normal, it usually settles down. Just check draw after car been sitting a while 👍
Very very good video....❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂
@@derrijl thank you! 🙌👍
Nicely explained and step by steps thx

in todays world putting batteries in concrete/ground is totally fine..this harkens back to the daze that battery cases were composes of different materials.. today battery cases are made of plastics that don't allow this discharge...
Thanks, yes you're right. I just had it pounded into my head by old timer's that I believed it to be true. Nice to know it's ok to leave on concrete/ground now 👍
I have this issue apeears in not summer my car gooes dtain overnight but now it goes After 10 min i left parked in Street its Golf 4 tdi Any Idea what can be ?
@@TIIRONC5H Try and test it with multimeter to see what kind of draw you're pulling. Also have battery tested first, could be as simple as an old worn out battery. Make sure alternators putting out good voltage too

Town and Country turned still can't get it to charge change battery and alternator twice and alternator just won't charge. I installed voltage regulator kit and still not charging. I can't believe two new alternators could be bad.
I can't figure this one out
Have you tested the voltage output with the new alternators? Still low?
@@JonnyDIY are you referring to the two wire connection behind alternator? or the power wire going to charge battery?
@@myviews469 I would check battery voltage with car running to see if alternator is putting out. If not check voltage leaving alternator to see if something wrong between two
ok so I connected the power from a good fuse to alternator ( field, signal ) wire connection and another one which I use to tap the negative side of battery but only while the meter was connected, and car was running what I got was the voltage of the battery 12.3V even as I touched ground wire from alternator it did not increase voltage. now if the alternator is fried I only had on for seconds and never smelled or hear or saw any smoke or do anything wrong. When I look at the specks of the alternator says voltage regulator is external
Very helpful, thank you
You're welcome, happy I could help you out 🙌👍
So what was the culprit for draining your battery? Because you didn't show us in this video.
@@zbigniewrichard8291 It was a combination of the factory alarm system and only driving it periodically. Also a bad battery. I replaced battery and disconnected alarm and haven't had an issue since 👍
@@JonnyDIY I see. One more question. The multimeter will go into standby after several minutes. Doesn't it mean that the measuring circuit will break? Moreover, how will you wake up the multimeter without breaking the circuit?
@@zbigniewrichard8291 hmm not sure about that I didnt use it so long for it to go into standby
@@zbigniewrichard8291 Just turn back on the multimeter any way is convenient and the circuit it will be there if any.
Put the readings and times on the paper if that's the case breaking the circuit missing some readings.
Why my multimetter read 1 when i put at 20v and at 200v read fine
Make sure leads plugged into right terminals maybe 🤔
Depends on your meters resolution… you may have to use the higher scale with cheaper meters that have fewer counts
brother i have ford fiesta mk6 1.4 tdci my problem is that whenever i start the car battery warning light comes on the dash but if i fully press the throttle all the way to 5k rpm it starts charging and light goes offf , plz help me to solve this issue . this problem started when i removed the battery
I would start by checking voltage of battery and alternator. Make sure alternator actually putting out the voltage. Then Id put a scan tool on it, sometimes cars can go a lil funny after disconnecting battery. Some local auto stores will scan for free like Oreillys Autozone.
@@JonnyDIY brother actually i m from india here the mechanics r totally illtrate they dont even know how to use a multimeter , just just know how to replace parts & fetch money
@@motologist1917 Bummer, hope you can get it figured out. I'd start with a multimeter for sure though
@@JonnyDIY btw voltage is 14.2 while charging when i revvvv
@@motologist1917 that sounds good for alternator. Seems like something in computer may have tripped when changing battery, does it still drive ok? Id drive if so and see if computer just needs to relearn a base line and go through all the system checks

Can’t your starter drain your battery to?
@@trejones5965 yes a malfunctioning starter and even an alternator can drain your battery. It should show up when you test for parasitic drain though 👍
why not just disconnect the negative terminal,, then check fuses to se which one has power going to it,,, find that fuse ,,there is parasictic drain problem
Yes you can use a test light to check fuses for any power
i think that would only be helpful if the parasitic draw is caused by a bad ground
A multi meter has a % accuracy ready %5 %3 -%3... that's why you get a different reading. You add say 5% if your ones book days its 5%
Do yourself a lifetime favor, buy a good Fluke meter.
