    I worked on cars for 40 years, 30 for a fleet, and nobody showed me this trick until now, thanks OP. Also I wanna point out one thing and that is, always use a fuse puller tool if you can! Sure needle nose pliers work, sometimes, for some fuses, if you even have space for the jaws to move, which half the time you don't! Plus it is way too easy to mangle a fuse using the needle nose, you might even short something out -

  • @CurtisDrew1

    They also make those test lights that will glow green if the probe is on positive. But you can clip the alligator clip to a nail, or small screwdriver, and test wire to see which wire is positive or negative. The test light will glow red if the nail side is positive and the probe side is grounded. Comes in handy for testing polarity on ganged socket plugs in wiring harnesses. Sometimes you can't figure out whick wire is grouded but you know where the positive (power lead) is and you just alligator clip to the positive and probe to find ground.

    @timeparty718 Рік тому +21

    Excellent video, great technique ... Q. why do fuses naturally blow with age? (ie: without overcurrent) A. fuses are designed to blow by melting when too hot with overcurrent, hence under normal usage they run warm, so over time the fuse-metal crystalline structure suffers atomic migration which causes physical internal flaws to develop and finally an ultimate failure to conduct electrons (current).

      @@dontuno Sure, my explanation covers the fuses that prematurely blow, it's not about all fuses ever made, most stay within their design parameters. It's much the same with incandescent light bulbs, most eventually blow in time but some never do ~ best example is a light bulb somewhere in the US which still works today and has been permanently 'on' for over 100 years.

    2013 Acura TL - DRL error came on few weeks ago, then suddenly was gone so I dismissed it. Week later - battery completely dead, but when we popped the hood… the accessories came on. (🤦🏼‍♀️). Now another week or two, and suddenly my low beams don’t work, but high do. Seems to me like it has to be something electrical rather than fuse just based on all that has happened, but just started watching videos 10m ago to see if I can find answers/things to try.

Quickly rinsed the acid off my face, hair and exposed skin. Gradually took off my clothes and put them in the washing machine. Then I washed all over with soap. Luckily no damage to my eyes because I flooded them with water so quickly. Now I wear safety glasses anytime I am around battles. My friend is a mechanic. He has had two of them blow up on him.

      Tomas, that way works for many, the issues I have with it are: it's a fight for space and hand room when the box is way up under the dash and though few if any fuses do, some circuits operate on 5v and sending the 9V from the continuity tester through that circuit may release the smoke genie or damage componemts. I hope your way continues to work well for you. Thanks for watching and commenting.

    is very informative to "check" a fuse to see if it is blown, but actually "finding" the one that is blown, is going to take way longer than 3.7 seconds hehe

    A voltmeter would be better to have than a test light because of its versatility for making other measurements. With a voltmeter, set it to measure DC volts. Place the probes on the test points on the fuse. Polarity doesn't matter. If you measure zero volts, the fuse is good. If you measure 12 volts, the fuse is blown.

      While that works for some, it is rather cumbersome while under the dash upside down, looking at fuses, then turn head to look at dvom. To each their own, I hope your way continues to work well for you.

      @@BaldwinsBowtieGarage Good point. 👍 Still should have a DVM because if the new fuse blows, then you'll need to measure resistance to ground on either side of that blown fuse.

    I also have heard of many automotive shops in the northern US states actually snipping fuse output legs on their customers vehicles and turning it back over to them, such a pity...😢 as for myself i am from louisiana, down here folks are raised on a totally different set of standards. Dont really have to worry about that type of thing. Every auto mechanic for a 100 mile radius are small mom and pop business most all of which practice honest morals. If this inflation would ever go on and drift its way up out of here i feel like everything might actually be alright on this end. Yall have a nice evening 😌

      what does that mean "snipping fuse output legs on them and turning it back over to them"?

    • @Duck-bo1ft
      @Duck-bo1ft Рік тому +1

      @@alive-awake if you snip the output leg of the fuse then when you test on the nipples, you get power on both sides of the fuse but the circuit will not work. You are breaking the circuit on the other side of the test point. The customer has a circuit that doesn't work and someone testing the way you are, picks up no fault. You have to remove the fuse to see the issue.

    I subscribed! Man, no one ever explained about the one-side out fuse. If one side of the fuse is out that means the fuse is bad. That was a question I had and no one else mentioned. See, its little teaching tips like that make all the difference is us DIY guys to increase in knowledge and understanding. Furthermore, it saves us time and money. Another factor was you explained that some fuses are spares and sometimes the key must be turned on to make some fuses illuminate when tested. My question is this. On a 2015 Regal, 2.4L 4 cyl 8 fuses with not light up when I test them. I am searching for the blower motor fuse. I see no such fuse on the fuse or relay schematic located on the underside of the plastic fuse box cover. The blower motor does not come on. How can I locate the appropriate fuse or relay? Could you illustrate how to remove the blower motor on the above-mentioned car and the blower resistor? My 2004 Grand Cherokee, straight 6, 4 cyl blower motor has gone out too. Thanks for you help.
