There are several ideas for battery repairing
Don't try to do this until you are sure what you are doing - the acid can burn your skin
Test the voltage first - there may be a kaput cell which would waste your time.
Check your battery fluid.
Try to fully charge the battery.
(I read about these using rapid renew roadmap site )
There are several components to battery reconditioning. One plan I discovered which successfully combines these is the rapid renew roadmap (check it out on google) without a doubt the most incredible info that I have ever heard of. look at this super website.
I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else wants to discover how to recondition car battery at home try Corbandy Battery Blueprint Crusher (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my colleague got amazing success with it.
Went to your webpage. Question 1 . Do you respond ? as im seeing dated questions ?
We're the emergency lights worked at the time? It seems I have the same issue with my Corolla 2010. It does not have any power at all, and battery is ok
I hope UA-cam archives your work Scotty, its been a blessing through the years.
Hi Scotty I have a same problem to my Nissan navara d22 zd30 but how do I gona fix it's. In the I got to new battery but when I turn the on is no power electric either
pray it's just a bad ignition switch, but do have the battery and alternator load tested, places like auto zone do that free and that can cause it too.
Hey Scottie! Can the ignition switch still be a factor if your interior dome light comes on before you put the key in?
@@Rocksteady123full yes absolutely it can
You saved my life dude! I had the same trouble with my car last night. Sure enough the ignition switch was bad. Thank god for Scotty. And UA-cam of coarse.
Scotty. You ROCK ! I've been working on two of my sons cars, and one of them had this no electrical problem. Your videos are great at guiding me through the fix it process. Thanks.
Scotty I'm a huge fan of yours. You take some situations that I have no idea how to start on, and give me points where I can start doing diagnostics that I wouldn't have thought of myself. Thanks for being so awesome, dude!
You have NO IDEA how helpful this is. I am running in circles trying to figure out my car issue without having to pay to have it towed somewhere that's going to charge me hundreds of dollars for this. Every other video just goes over individual car issues but this is the only one I've found that teaches you HOW to locate a wiring issue. My Fuses are good so I know it's something that's not connecting properly electrically.
I'm going to Autozone to get a power tester like the one in your video and then figure out what's going on in my car - THANK YOU SCOTTY
Your video is very helpful and straight to the point. Thanks so much!!!
Wow! Simple and straight to the point. You sir are a UA-cam artist!
thanks man ur video just saved me a new battery. a wire was detached from the starter due to which i was not getting any cranking sound while starting engine. keep sharing and stay blessed.
I'm really enjoying your channel. I'm actually learning! Thanks for sharing.
I nearly lost hope because my 1990 Ford F250 has the EXACT same problem right now and I changed so many things. I turn the key and have no electrical power at all. I have a brand new battery, alternator, starter solenoid, ignition coil, and even tried a jump and it still don't have power. I found your video and now I have hope! I am going to take a tester to the ignition switch and see if that's the culprit causing so much trouble. Thank you Scotty!
@sonyxploder it's called the power probe, and it's version 3, there are also 1 and 2. a GREAT tool. Scotty
Thanks for reminding me about my old Power Probe. That thing must be over 20 years old. Found a loose ground wire that was causing my loss of electric power.
Thought for sure it was going to be a fuse, main fuse, ignition switch,etc.
I started from the battery, and worked my way out like you said.
Thanks.
Dude you have the best no nonsense videos. Hope life is treating you good.
Hello there scotty, I just wanted to thank you so much for all your vids. I have used some of them and they all worked.. Big big help.. I am just one of the weekend backyard mechanic here mostly just helping out family and friends. Again thanks so much. Me, my family and my friends really appreciate it... If you ever come by my island I'll take you scuba diving!!
Best Regards
Thank you for this very informative video. Now I can pretty much just go to the mechanic and tell him exactly what I need fixed.

Hey dude! You may be funny, but yeah! You're so much helpful for me today! You save me a lot of time and money as well! Thanks dude!
I like your style straight to the point thanks!
bro this video really help me fix my car and i didnt know anything about cars @ScottyKilmer
check the main fuse first, and then the headlight switch if they are good
good vid
That closing with him in the truck is amazing
depends on what the rest of the shape it's in, it will need a new ignition assembly, so price that out and bleeding brakes really means something is wrong and needs fixing. air only gets in there with leaks.
@gmcarfreak could be lots of things, check the neutral switch on the clutch pedal first, then either the switch or the wiring is bad.
Helped a lot it assured me my ignition is out in my honda. And the video gave me some pointers to look at
@CoolasIce2 just follow the wires coming out of the switch and pierce them to see if they have no power, and then get power when you turn the key on. Of course you can use a wiring diagram if you have one. Scotty
im your fan #1!!!!! i watch all your videos. thank you alot !!!
Love the enthusiasm on the video. No bullshit. Upvoted!
Thanks this really helped me out today!
thank you!!! for your helpful videos!!!
Thanks for the support
@jdmjtag when it doesn't start, then jump start the starter motor directly from a jumper battery. If it doesn't crank, it's the starter. If it does, it's the wiring or ignition switcvh. Scotty
If you are afraid of power , then just check it with the reader first to see what voltage is on that line, it gives the reading. if it says 5 volts, as in computer circuits, do not apply 12 volts there
love anything to do with honda like vehicles :)
thx for this scotty
I love your channel Scotty!
Good vid n tips Scotty!!
Awesome video, as always. I love your energy. If you ever want some simple animation for your videos let me know.
Thanks scotty you were a big help and I like your videos they are helpful
Hey man fantastic video!!
awesome vedios Mr. Kilmer your funny and making the vedios more easy to follow....thanks for sharing your wisdom
often the wiring from the alternator to the wiring harness goes bad on those, check for wiring harness corrosion there.
Thanks scotty,A1 as always
Your video's are pretty helpful, now I know what to look for while I am starting to build my first car. Do you have any video's about installing a transmission cooler? Hopefully one for an older model chevy lol.
You are really Awesome Scotty!!
Best auto mechanic channel
Another job well done, onya Scotty from Perth Western Australia
My car also had no electricity at all, anywhere. Results that the battery terminals were loose, so was just to tighten them up and then it started immediately. 1998 RAV4 Toyota! ❤️
As a mobile mechanic, I can’t tell you how many times people have to pay me to tighten up their battery terminals. It’s the first thing I look at it when there’s a no start.
Thanks for the video scotty, i found out that the smaller wire to my starter had a bad connection on the crimp connecter at the very end of the wire.
Dear Sir, you just made my day. I had someone put an alternator in my Rocky Daihatsu...long story short, the battery started smoking. Then the electrical system was completely dead, so I had it towed to a real mechanic (wish I had your video before I did this). I haven't heard back from them yet, though now I at least know I don't have to start searching for another vehicle to drive. I still don't get it - it drove fine for 13 miles, I unhooked the ground side of the battery for a while (old car, so it's the only way I know to reset the dashboard sensor lights), hooked it back on, it started smoking, then was completely dead. For the life of me I don't know what happened, I was going to tighten the nut holding the alternator cable on, it looked loose, but thought I had better not touch anything. What if the alternator-battery cable somehow came in touch with the frame of the vehicle?
Appreciate what you do
YES! YES! YES! It worked! I don't know how, but it worked. Thanks Scotty!
@granyagami1982 you would have to test it with a load tester, well beyond a diy repair. They can break down in insidious ways, just try a new one if you think it's bad.
your awesome..thanks my nilla...i love your videos
@gmcarfreak sometimes they do , sometimes they don't, just depends on how they broke. a new switch comes with anew key anyway
excellent stuff
Thank you for the quick reply, Scotty. Ignition switch is in the mail. I'll let you know how my install went and the results.
on that old thing, merely unplugging thebattery resets everything. But a greenish tint wire may need replacing, that is corrosion and if you see it, wire is bad.
the battery cables often go bad on those, shorting out internally, replace both and see what happens
Thanks for this informative video. I have a 2017 chevy malibu with push button start. It had power this morning but wouldn't start. There was a "stabilizer check" message on dashboard and engine won't crank. So I removed the 60 amp fuses, 3 of them, and then put them back on but now the car completely lost power (dashboard is black and car doesn't even crank). My battery is good and I have a portable handheld jump starter that I used to jump start it but to no avail. What do you think might be the issue?
Great videos,
Thanks man. Found out the problem the moment after I saw this video.
Scotty you're awesome!
@Ryznrun power probe III is the best.
mine just did that at the store and I turned the key on and off a few times then all gauges jump and had power again so I figured my ignition switch is going out has to be it so im just going to buy a new 1 and hopefully thats all it is its a 01 buick century and your video just kinda helped to confirm it
thank you sir. good vid.
2003 Honda Odd. No power-no crank with 2 month new battery. No hazard lights, van stuck in park. Battery cables look great and appear connected. All fuses look good in all 4 fuse boxes. Long story short the tow guy checks the battery and finds that he can rotate the clamps on both terminals. He removed the clamps, hammers a bit on the sides to deform them and gets them reattached so that there is zero movement of the clamps. Van fires up!! Hope this helps someone. Love the video-I was next going to start tracing all the power wires to see what the primary cause for loss of power was. Thanks
Nice scotty, used your videos for reference, tested starter, alternator, ignition switch, fuses, batterys. Still nothing, had it towed to the dealership where they determined it was the cpu and wiring.
@HIsierreno some are easy, some are harder than hell. that's the life of a mechanic.
Commenters, Scotty’s work ends with the video being posted. Stop asking for personalized advice. Get the tools he used and test the car yourself. That’s the answer. If the tools are too expensive for you, then go to a mechanic who will have the tools. Scotty, thanks for the video!
yes, that or a wiring short somewhere
thanks Scotty i was a main fuse that support the battery that's why i didn't have. any power then i went to the junk yard and grap one just like then boom got like and power everywhere in the car. thanks scotty for your help

replace the battery cables if it jump starts but your battery doesn't work. They can wear out on the inside, but jump on the outside
your a hoot Scotty right on!
Thank you scotty
You are the best mechanic ever
Hi watching your video and it saved me lots of $$$ it was just a loose wire
fantastic show vid..!!!
I never use anything but switches that match perfectly myself. too many iffs with non matching parts
awsome videos
Hey Scotty love your videos! I think you may have fixed my problem. I have a 1997 Grand Prix GTP. Brand new Optima Red Top battery. Car starts fine but no power windows, locks, interior lights, seats, or radio. No blown fuses. They've been known to have ignition switch problems. Any other suggestions?
AWESOME 👍👍👍

Scotty, You were looking for an Open, not a short. Just minor, love your videos man.
@tilou32 it or the key/switch part may be worn a little. Spray a little WD 40 in there. Scotty
@contagiousFX on this model, it didn't need reprogramming, but some do. Scotty
Does the switch part detach from the key cylinder portion or is it a single part ? 2013 Ford Edge SEL
ok, will try that soon. i was thinking if her ignition switch is bad, would the dashboard lights still come on? an if so do i have to make a new key for the switch? thanks again for all ur help an knowledge Mr kilmer
I like your video!
