- My poor poor Ring.... Automotive Bluetooth Tyre Inflator - it's broken!
It seems to be shorting out, and not pumping - which is really annoying, because, that's its sole purpose! In this video I take it to bits and investigate the issue.. Will I find it, will I fix it? Well watch and see!

My Ring Tyre inflator failed when 28 months old. It blow the fuse. Replaced and would run in a laboured way before blowing the fuse. This video helped me identify the motor / pump was partially seized. I followed advice in comments and lubricated the motor bearings with WD40. Turned it my hand, then ran it for a minute. Reassembled all working. My suspicion is that the boot go my car gets very hot and the lubricant dries out. Time will tell if continues to work. I am storing it in a lower and cooler part of my boot. Thanks.
Fun video Kip, it will be interesting to see why the motor is behaving like that when you can get to look inside it 👌👍
I usually just put little drips of machine oil when dealing with ceased motors like a fan one, then move it by hand both directions and it is free to spin. The motor is spinning on low voltage but something preventing it to spin faster when it is forced to and cause a short. since you are getting a new one maybe consider the oil trick on both ends and this can solve the issue, and as usual nice video 👍
Seized. Not ceased.
@raftonpounder6696 don’t be a knob about people’s spelling! We all make misteaks
@@kiphakes 😂. You misunderstand. I’m only trying to help. How can you learn if no-one corrects you?
@@raftonpounder6696 Thanks for the correction, I do appreciate it.
@@xo_plays_ you’re welcome.
Use some small pliers or side cutters to prise out the motor lugs. Make sure you power supply current limit is at maximum you are hitting the limit. Before opening the motor put some oil on the bearings each end then run it ensuring the current limit mentioned above is at maximum. Then put back together.
Has brought one but how switch off battery (charging symbol still on?? It ring RTC 2000 model
No idea! Sorry!
You should have said “Ring Tyre Inflators are…” at the beginning. 😂
How many amps can your bench supply provide at 12 volts? The motor may not be shorting, but exceeding the surge current available from the power supply.
you can use flat screw dtiver to bent out that folded metals on the back of the motor
I tried! There’s no gap to get purchase
it was friday the 13th though lol
Hey Kip…..🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦Garry here! Currently unboxing the Kaiweeks Smart Multimetre! Just finished checking out your review! New Sub here!
Would you be able to do a review on you're simba mattress now you have had time to use it?
Yep… will be filming it really soon!
@@kiphakes great thanks. 👍🏻
@kiphakes meant to ask aswell, how is you're back after the opp? I have an MRI soon and just about to start the same journey. Thays how i found you're channel.
Are you sure that's a straight 12 volt DC motor? It's not using PWM or AC voltage to power it?
Definitely DC the little red dot on the bottom is a polarisation mark
