I'm an automotive locksmith and the same happens when watching guys make lost keys on YT. They leave out the small but important details. It's always those details that lead to success or not. It's actually very annoying when they do that. I always think of new guys who are going to watch them without knowing any better and fail over and over.
Dude great job and you are right no one in any of the videos I’ve watched so far has mentioned anything about turning the key off or locking on to the probed wire signal when it starts to beep really fast like you’re spot on my guy, for a moment there I thought the tool was too glitchy when I was using mine but I still found the problem in 30 min unlike the other 2 mechanics who ordered a light switch and a BCM 😂😂
Very helpful video … the biggest impact comes from seeing all the extra effort you applied in other areas of the vehicle … thanks for sharing your success…
Thank you I've also had it for a year and haven't used it because the directions didn't make sense to me. I'm not a mechanic but you explained it very simple and now I'm using it!! Thank you.
Thank you for clarifying how to use this device. I wasn't sure if i was using it right. Ultimately, I was but you explaining the fine details made my job easier. I'm a diesel mechanic, and thank you.
Thanks Buddy, I had the same problem, thank you for sharing I’ll use it tomorrow and find that Open wire, I didn’t know how to lock the receiver, you made a lot of sense thanks again, keep up the great work 👍
I have to chase a dead coil wire on my Jeep tomorrow. I feel like I finally understand how to use that tool properly after watching your video. Thanks!
problem is thou is if one wire is rubbed thru or broken chances are other wires in the harness are also getting to the same point. I work in heavy diesel and the quick and easy way it to run an overlay but to do a job right is to find the spot and fix it right. May save you a ton of headache down the road@@mikesabin8568
Thanks, I try to be short an to the point. And sometimes it's hard especially when making a video in the spur of the moment. I have gotten better though with leaving out the fat. I use to be horrible 😂 but I think I can still do better though. Thank you so much!
Thanks homie I needed this video so bad I’ve had my power prove set for 3 years and until I watched your video I didn’t know how to use it!!!!! Great video thanks!!!!
This would be an open in your wiring. A short would be either the wire is rubbed through and is touching ground or two bare wires touching each other. Open is a break in the wire. Just a friendly note. 😊
It's only broke because I broke it the rest of the way after I found it. I was getting ready to cut out the bad sections that rubbed against the frame to make the repairs. However I thought i should make this video before I preceded with the repairs. But yea original they was intact and feeding intermittent voltage to the injectors. I have video showing that happening before I even found the break. Which is how I diagnosed the problem but then had to find the location of the short.
Gracias por la información, aún no compro la herramienta pero acostumbro antes de obtenerla prepararme, tu vídeo fue clave para entender por qué algunas personas critican la herramienta, en sus videos no aplican el bloqueo de señal obviamente no les dará el mejor resultado.

I just ordered one going to try this on a motorcycle hopfully it will save me alot of money before I need to take it to harley davidson 😂 my left speaker does not work only getting power to one wire I hope this will help me fix it before next week.
Sir if wire connecting with electronic controller then this tool can track.i try to track one wire this wire connection with B.L.A.M controller this tool can't track. Can possible to help why no track wire
1. Should I use the ect3000 equipment after disconnecting the +, - terminal of the battery? Can I use the ect3000 without disconnecting the car +, - terminal? 2. Can I use the ect3000 equipment while the car is turned on?
I'm not sure if you need the battery connected or not. I never could find any information about that. I can tell you that I've used it both ways, with it the battery disconnected and with the battery connected. From what I know you don't need the car on simply because the device sends a signal through the wire when its connected to the positive side of the battery. If you have the car on then that might make it harder to find the broken wire. I don't know everything about this tool. I've had to teach myself most of what I do know about it. I'd recommend doing some research to get accurate information about the ect3000. Thanks for watching.
This is because it was originally a short. Then I broke the wire fully to make the repair and that's when I decided to make the video. I guess technically it's both just not at the same time. However I will say that before I broke the wire to repair it, it would switch back an forth from a short to a open. All I would do it move the harness around and restart the ect3000 and it would show a open. I'd move the harness around again and restart the ect3000 then it would show as a open. So yes sometimes this happens and can be confusing.
No like he stated he should have just used this power probe 3000 from the get go. Skipped all the other wire harness tear down. In the end using the tool and tracing that wire was the correct decision with respect to diag
@@nordicpride9708 why? Running a new wire is 1000 times faster and new…. Explain how finding the broken wire and wasting time is a good idea…. I disagree with you 100%
This is actually a my company vehicle and wanted to keep original as much as possible. My personal truck I most definitely would of done that to. I should also note that this particular wire feeds many other functions.
@@handyscapersllc the fact it powered other things doesn’t matter at all. A fused jumper wire powering those injectors have nothing to do with it powering other things. It still would have worked, but whatever

Yes hopefully someone learns from my mistake of not just learning how to use the damn tool in the beginning. 🤦 dumb on my part but I've learned.

Right on man, your welcome. I hope you find it. Our kit didn't come with a manual for this tool. It only came with a manual for the power probe tool.

Yes it should work. Once you hook up to the bad wire a signal will be sent through it and the signal will stop once you find the bad spot
Excellent presentation, I have on coming tomorrow. Thank you.
Best of luck! Hope this helped.
Your welcome and thank you.
Very informative and helpful!! Thanks for taking the time to demonstrate and share your knowledge!!

Good job
Thanks

Neat.
is there not ant risk for damage any ecu,when the tool put power in the wire?
From what I understand there is no risk because of the type of signal that's being sent at such a low voltage as well.
Boom 🤯 🙏
It's an amazing tool when you learn how to use it
👍👍
Thanks!
Thanks for watching.
Lol you call it a break
Then u call it a short
This is because it was originally a short. Then I broke the wire fully to make the repair and that's when I decided to make the video. I guess technically it's both just not at the same time. However I will say that before I broke the wire to repair it, it would switch back an forth from a short to a open. All I would do it move the harness around and restart the ect3000 and it would show a open. I'd move the harness around again and restart the ect3000 then it would show as a open. So yes sometimes this happens and can be confusing.
I think it's around $500
$200.00
