Is it possible for a relay for your turn signals and hazards to fail on three of the lights but still work on one. my passenger front works but it's the only one on both signal and haz. lights. 2004 GMC Canyon. scratching my head on this one any help would be great. frustration has set in LOL
My starter was bad but the mechanic replaced a switch commutateur interrupter, now my passenger side turn signal hyperflashes on the front, I have no turn signal on the rear. You can feel it in the relay switch located in my fuse box next to my dash. My starter was replaced, but why did they install a commutateur interrupter switch? And, why does the relay switch that they installed cause the hyperflash? Now, they tell me that they can install another switch that will cause the relay switch to stop the hyperflash. Personally, I think it's BS, why keep adding more switches?
thank you very much for making this video! I tried reading a write up explaining how relays work and I wasn't grasping everything very well. but now that I have seen this video it all makes a lot more sense to me, it may be just that it's one of those things that you have to see in motion to understand better.. thanks again! 😀
LOVE the thorough explanation for how it works!!! Common sense explanations and down to earth testing for amateurs without expensive toys. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT
LOL. BEST DESCRIPTION, EVER!! Thank you. Also, I loved the "Honk Animation". I watched it five times. You made little animated sound waves, and the relay actuator closed! Brilliant!
Best auto repair video ever. Stumbled upon this trying to figure out why my Ford Focus high beams aren’t working but I hear a click! ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️
I knew their had to be a way to test those. The Chevrolet dealership and stupid autozone said they can't test them! BS! Thank you! You saved me 50 bucks! My issue is my more expensive radiator fans..... but that 50 will go towards them. Thank you again.
Thank you for your video. That would have to be one of the best for a novice like myself. Now I can diagnose electrical faults with more confidence. Great job sir.
Great info!!! I have a failure started w my drivers side door locks. Finally took entire down to nothing. So now I shall go out to check fuses and relays before I call anyone. Tks!!!
Very well explained different methods of testing relays; really liked how you took the time to explain the workings too. Great for amateurs like me.Thanks!
A relay tester.....This is the first video I've seen to bring this tool up into the discussion! Also very good explanation of how a relay works. A helpful and informative video! 👍
Here's some advice for fixing this for free. Yeah they're cheap but you may get stranded and need to fix it. I had a ranger that sometimes wouldn't start. Everyone kept telling me it was a bad fuel pump. It worked fine on a cold start, but if I turned it off after it warmed up, and tried to start it back, the fuel pump wouldnt come on. I managed to find out that when the engine bay warmed up, the relay wasn't engaging. I did this by swapping the relay with something else and trying it. I then, being completely broke, cut open the top of my relay and saw one of the contacts near the coil of copper wire (electro magnet) was bent slightly away from the coil. I pushed it back straight, and taped up the relay housing good to keep dirt out of it, and bam. worked like a charm for the entire rest of the time I owned that truck and it cost me nothing. and if I'd listen to everyone else I'd have wasted time and money on replacing the fuel pump. The reason I didn't think it was the pump is because it was intermittent and only when the car had warmed up, and it never acted up while driving, only if I shut it off then tried to start it again. Long story but I'm telling it so people know a relay can be intermittent. If you're not sure what to do, mark it with a sharpie (so you know which one is the original) and swap it with another relay and see if the problem follows or not.
Thank You so much for this video. It helped me sort out something that had been driving me crazy. Did not realize that inserting it backwards will 'randomly' break stuff.
Really good video. Both of my headlights went out. First thing I noticed was some corrosion on the battery clamps which I got rid of, and I made sure the fuses worked. I will be checking the relay after this. God I hope it's the relay, I do not want to deal with wiring harness. Also, do you think that a bad, maybe worn out battery clamp can cause the headlights to not turn on, even after car stars and all the other light work?
From the videos, I watched if you’re working on your ECM make sure your keys not in the ignition as it would start the car and you don’t want it to be and drive 7:00
This works sometimes: bang on relay. I had a horn relay that would not work. So I disconnected battery. Tugged, poked, whacked and shook relay. Would not come out. Read it had to be replaced with whole relay tray, or cut out. Hooked up battery to call it a night and presto it worked. I guess it was just stuck with a little corrosion. If does it again I'll drill 3 tiny holes in the top and spray silicone spray into relay to possibly fix corrosion issue for long time.
Great vid my gmc sierra 2000 tries to turn on ... But it can't catch ... We changed the fuel pump ... What else could it be ? I'm guessing the relay? It's on old truck but still runs good when it runs
Here's the deal. Before I got my iPad and my Bluetooth code reader I never did much work on vehicles with computers. Now, here it is. If you have a vehicle, with over 100,000 and your going to keep it for another hundred thousand miles plus. Here's what you do. Take every relay and fuse from the in cab fuse box and the engine fuse box and throw them away. Replace every fuse and relay you have. For the most part you will not have another problem regarding anything link to the computer other than a computer itself. That is it, you can thank me later.. That's it. You want to cheat the repair man and save money that's what you do.. Also every time you change oil, change the fuel filter. Put risolone in every oil change. It works.put a can of sea foam in the fuel tank every oil change as well. Also, oh and 100,000 miles, change spark plug. And change serpentine belt. If you haven't done it already. If you replace one item it's new. Every other item is old. The c computer will struggle any other relays fuses will weaken whatever you put in new. change only two spark plugs and leave six bad and see what happens. POSs in mechanics. Do this and you won’t see them very often.
What should I do if I have multiple relays that are good but still don't work it's on a 94 ranger if that helps I've tried everything and this was an awesome vid by the way👍👍
Thank you iam basing on vehicle electrical issues iam still learning in my school,can you please link me to where I can get your full technics in various parts of auto wiring.
Hello I have a Mitsubishi Outlander 2017 and both headlights turned off the same time, fuses are fine my high beams, blinkers, Park lights all work I tried taking out the relay and I couldn't get it off I used a spanner and cracked the top, are some relays not supposed to come out, I'd appreciate your advice. You're channel is excellent and female friendly thank you
Good day sir, can i ask about the battery saver relay location of 2001 ford explorer sport trac? I watch some videos ang i did actually found the relays under the steering wheel but i don't know where exactly the battery saver relay. Because the battery always drained. Thank you
Where do you get the relay test box and the other part , are do they come together in a kit ? Are maybe the name of it I looked for a picture on y'all website but didn't see . Your video is great especially the way you explain and break it down . You definitely would make a great teacher in some High school or Technical school . Thank, you for sharing and teaching some tricks of the tread.
My '12 Camry battery light will come on when I start it but goes off after running/driving 15 minutes +/-. Also it only happens on first start of the day. And sometimes it doesn't even come on for up to four days straight. Thankfully it always starts and doesn't die. So far. I had it tested at Oreillys for battery and alternator and said both passed. Any advice on what could be my issue? Thanks in advance.
I'm getting a p1282 code on odometer read out. Do you think it could be due to me pulling the fuel relay out and using a jumper to do a fuel pressure test? I replaced my fuel pressure regulator and did a pressure test. All's good, no engine light or codes. How to reset?? ✌️
Great informative video, we had a 2020 Ford Transit Cargo 250 with a cigarette lighter socket blow, owner manual did not have any information of fuse location in it fuse boxes, we took to 2 different Ford Dealer, none of them figured it out, call 3 out of state Ford dealer to get help with no result , call Ford direct, they did not have that fuse location either ( just amazing how a lousy it is) Ford said take to dealership, but we already did , they couldn't locate the fuse to replace. At this point, we are look around to find a solution, any troubleshooting techniques that you can think of to track to that blow fuse that control the cigarette lighter? Many thanks in advance 🙏
Got a question I have an 01 Ford Ranger I replaced the blower motor relay it over heated I replaced the blower motor and the resistor and it still over heats. If I run it on a lower speed it lasts longer but in the end it still over heats what could be causing this?

Every light on my 2004 Tundra works except the rear brake light. Replaced fuses, brake light switch, and totally replaced the whole tail light assembly on each side. Either a ground or relay problem? And input is appreciated guys!!!
Can I bring a separate wire as aground from the battery to the 85 spot because I think the ground is weak as Im changing the relay and the AC IS not working? Thanks
I have to test for a bad relay that controls an O2 sensor heater element (which gives me a “check engine” light) on a 2001 Toyota Echo. Where can I access one of those nifty relay testers?

I have a 95 Chevy Tahoe 4_4 and something is making all my fuses under the hood ground,i have a test light hooked to the positive battery post and the test light to the main wire going to the fuse box, with the ground battery post on all the fuses inside the box show ground on both sides of fuses and even if i pull the relays still ground, would you think it may be in my fuse box it's self,ty
I drive a 2007 ford escape and while I was driving the dash lights, radio, signal lights all turned off. The car was still driving, but all the electrics kept coming on and turning off. Then when i got off work, my car was dead. I got a jump and it started up. On the way home the electrics we’re going out again and started to smell this stink smell, like dead fish or rotten eggs. When I finally got home I checced under the hood and the battery was smoking and sizzling….. what I also noticed is my coolant was EXTREMELY low. I’m praying a new battery and some coolant will fix the issue of what I assume is an overheated battery. But I have no idea. What sucs is either way, I have to replace the battery. Does any one have any idea what I’m dealing with?
Hey... can u use those Lisle tester relays as adapters for the relay buddy to test relays that don't fit on the relay buddy? I know the relay buddy has adapters for it but just wondering if the lisle tester relays like the ones u used would work as adapters in then just put whatever relay im testing on top of the tester relay

2004 Escalade I need serious help with quick. The vehicle cranks and runs great but I have a large parasitic draw. I Purchased a volt meter and It showed a 193 mA draw. 108 mA is coming from the 40A IGN A fuse. That is the actual ignition switch. I replaced the switch and it didn’t help at all. mA is the same. Any idea what else could be associated with this fuse and why I’m still getting that 108 mA draw? Also my EVAC/ECAS 10A fuse is pulling 85 mA. When I pull both it gets my parasitic draw to 25 mA which is normal. Your expertise would be very much appreciated! So frustrated!!!!
I'm watching this because I need to find out why when removing the pre heat glow plug relay , there is no power going to the four pins in the actual plug of the main loom that power the glow plugs. Any idea how to check these. 🇬🇧
Is there a possibility that the relay is good but the contacts on the base of the relay can be the problem? I have a dodge durango 07 no crank I put a new starter but nothing, any advice ?
My car won't start... even though my battery is brand new. The starter is working as well... So I'm hoping maybe I have a bad relay. I don't know a ton about cars so I hope this video helps me.

@@ToniExMazizoMusical Check the wiring and make sure the clamps on the battery terminals are tight and you can wiggle it around, also check to see if it’s not corroded that will sometimes cause a bad connection to the terminal and cause it to not start nor crank

Is there a possibility that the relay is good but the contacts on the base of the relay can be the problem? I have a dodge durango 07 no crank I put a new starter but nothing, any advice ?
Fantastic video! Thank you.
That was a really great explanation.
What a GOOD video. I learned SO much. Thank you.

Good explanation Mr how to test a relay
Terrific tutorial. Thanks
I enjoyed and learned a lot .THANK YOU for sharing it!
My car won't start... even though my battery is brand new. The starter is working as well... So I'm hoping maybe I have a bad relay. I don't know a ton about cars so I hope this video helps me.
+JabeZ Zz We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Did you find out what was the problem ? I'm having the same issue with my 2008 Chevy Malibu Ltz
@@ToniExMazizoMusical Check the wiring and make sure the clamps on the battery terminals are tight and you can wiggle it around, also check to see if it’s not corroded that will sometimes cause a bad connection to the terminal and cause it to not start nor crank
Excellent explanation!!!
We a need a look at those relay pullers.
What if the relay is warm to the touch?
Well great. Now I want to buy those testers.
