THIS is the best explanation and technique for understanding automotive diagrams....GREAT presentation. The shortest distance to learning electrical diagrams is THIS series. Thank you, Mike!
Hi Mike thanks for a very awesome video im a self learned mechanic from a bit a old school background with todays modern vehicles almost every component in a vehicle is dependent on the integrity of the wiring therefore looking forward to your future videos once again thanks you make a good teacher
Great video. You are the man. Everytning is explained in a very easy simple way. And you are right, if you don't know, or you cannot interpret the information on the diagram, you really don't know what to expect when checking.
This channel is a fantastic source of knowledge. I've learnt so much already - and I only discovered Go Tech last week. I'm now working my way through the back catalog. Thanks for a great resource. Best wishes from London.
Hey Labrador McGraw, thanks a ton! Enjoy the back catalog. I do my best to answer every comment, so if you're watching and old video and have a question....comment on it. I should see it! Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Hey Mike - Great first vid in hopefully a long series. I also cannot emphasize enough the aspect of paid info. I have people come to me confused with electrical/circuit problems who find wiring diagrams for free that inevitably are incorrect for their car (different year, model, engine, etc). If you want to do these types of repairs properly, you've got to have correct diagrams. Even if you DO subscribe to a data provider, they can sometimes be wrong. Great series!
Hey, thanks a ton! Yeh it'll likely be a very long series haha! Getting accurate information is harder than it needs to be sometimes, right? Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
This video just unlocked the missing peace i was missing. Thank you so much. Im in the middle of training and the confession of open circuit to closed circuit was tracking me on what side was hot or not
Excellent video ... and a good start to the basics, which I desperately needed. I look forward to more videos continuing this series ... and likely to watch them several times!!!
What about this video is that people didn’t understand? He made it so simple to follow. Especially with color coded wires. He explains what each component is, where power and grounds are connected on each component n how electricity travels.
Hey Mike, looking forward to the series! I love wiring diagrams. While my wife was reading a novel, I would be reading a wiring diagram. Strange? I enjoy sharing these skills of reading wiring diagrams with the apprentices I teach. To start with, when they look at the diagrams, they are like a kangaroo stuck in the headlights, with fear in their eyes. It's great to see after doing some courses, they slowly gain some confidence and can apply what they have learned in a real world situation. Great to get feedback when they gain experience and confidence. Keep up with the great work! 😊👍
Hey MiracleMax, thanks for watching! Hahah doesn't sound strange at all to me ;) "A kangaroo in the headlights", huh? Aussie? Here in Wisconsin we say "deer in the headlights" :) Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
@@GoTechTraining Yeah, I figured you guys would have the deer in the headlights, but us Aussies have Kangas to deal with (and wombats and snakes and spiders and sharks and dingos and crocs ......) - you get the idea!
I’m going through electrical class for ford right now have a test tomorrow and next Friday trying to get some out of class perspective for help I appreciate what you do
Great video! Thanks! You are providing a terrific public service. So many people don’t wish to share their knowledge, or make the effort to do so, and you are the exact opposite of that.
If you’re giving a thumbs down and mad you can’t comprehend, then this probably isn’t for you. Find a new career. This is a simple diagram explained extremely good!
This my BOOOOIIIII!! their timing chain video on GM 3.6 helped me out sooooo much!! Now I've been searching the net to understand wiring diagrams because I have a low circuit to my Accelerator Position Pedal....
Rest assured the one's giving the thumbs down cannot read wiring diagrams. They wake up every day just miserable with themselves. Actually their thumbs down is an indication of how they view themselves. With that being said GREAT video instructions Mike! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience sir! Much appreciated!
I must be honest, at first, I was like slow down, slow down! As a landscape contractor, and one who’s never looked at a wiring schematic, I’ll admit, I was pretty discouraged looking around for any vids explaining what the symbolism is as opposed to “ how to bypass safety switches, or start your mower so you don’t have to push a pto button “ that I kept finding. I mean, I get it you may not like the seat safety design, but there’s some real beauties out there. Yikes! Hope they don’t have toddlers running around their yards. Anyway. I’m troubleshooting a John Deere zero turn and even bought the tech manual 680 pages, lots of printer ink, but worth every stinkin penny, until the electronics haha. I was like “ I can read grade prints, swales, berms, trees, drainage etc and explain it like this young man here. But I literally felt like a first grader until I watched this video. Did I watch it 3times? Sure did until things began making sense. Tbh, the switched/ un switched color codes was huge. Yes, I was that bad. I had a switched power wire messed up, and read the connector cavities wrong in one connector and it messed everything up, but with this, my green machine I use exclusively for my home and no where else, is running again and just in time as there’s a 3 day rain coming. I believe every person has a unique ability and can excel at something. This young man evidently is a master at his craft, and a very good teacher. Hell, I learned from him. But to complain about this or that about a video you decided to watch on UA-cam is kind of silly dontcha think? Especially ones who think they know a better way to explain. Have at it then, make your own vids, stand up there and do what this trained man did. Enlighten us all, you’re wasting your talent behind your keyboards! Thanks again great video 🌳
Mike, it's a very good idea to make this series. I am sure it will help quite a lot of technicians to get or improve foundational knowledge which is more important than ever. Your logical approach is easy to follow as well as the format is easy to digest. Felicidades, as the Mexicans say.🔧🔧🤗🤗
I'm doing an engine rebuild atm so I can't really do too much electrical work (running the vehicle or attaching the battery), but to apply this in a way that's currently needed instead of just for practice, I wanna use my OEM manual's cooling fan diagram and see if I can figure out why the cooling fans might not be working past what I already know to check. The relays and the fan motors work and I ordered a new coolant temperature sensor, the diagrams can help me know if there are any other possibilities other than the wiring itself. I'm excited to be learning how to do electrical work because it's one of the procedures I haven't learned enough about yet to do as a tech.
Great start! Do CAN (or CCD) BUS circuits have a standardized color code? I'm using red/blue and green/blue for now, but that was just my version with blue indicating the BUS.
Good luck on your channel a beautiful presentation and a great informative channel you have I just love using the scope I agree the only tool you can see signals or is the SCOPE otherwise you cannot troubleshoot correctly good luck
the old gm paper book diagrams were so easy and all in color! and all the circuits were basic when i started out i didnt know anything but looked up a diagram and i was half way there and headed in the right direction now they can get very complex
Hey Scuba, thanks for watching! They certainly can. Hopefully by the end of this series I can teach you how to break it down simply :) Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Hi mike, this video is very simple to understand and gives us confidence to go through. It’s a basic but it’s a lot more for us. Just a question which site you refer for wiring for DIY. like All data…. Or any other thanks
Thank you. I have been working on cars for sometime and electrical circuit problems, reading diagrams and how a circuit works to charge a relay and turn a component on I always had trouble on.
A tip for Canadian viewers - Part Source locations will print wiring diagrams for free. ( Part Source is a Canadian company similar to NAPA). Unfortunately, they don't have stores in all Canadian provinces.
Nice job, Mike! I don't look at factory GM diagrams very often - I never knew those were RPO codes where there was a diamond symbol in a wire! Thanks, man! Minus sign = without - can't believe I didn't figure that one out on my own, lol. 👍🍻
Sometimes when people donate books to libraries you can find some of Chiltons or other manuals there. Some even post them on their website for online access. But you have to check with local library to find out. Not all we have free access to that type of knowledge.
hey mike. i didnt hear you elaborate about the two paths that are the switched ground. maybe i'm getting ahead of you, if so disregard. some may be confused that either the horn button or the bcm can control the horn so it may work with one but not the other. in diagnosing sometimes a circuit works part time which may be caused by such a scenario and will throw off a technician to look for a fault that may be intermittent rather than understanding the entirety of how the system works. also since the bcm can operate it additional checks at the bcm if that part of the circuit is malfunctioning will be in order.
Hey Richard, I planned on bringing this exact thing up once we begin to apply testing to the circuit/diagram. Super valid point to be made there. I'll make sure to cover it...but it will likely be a little bit later in the series. Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Great series, glad to learn something new! For the home mechanics paying for a subscription for multiple cars can be an expensive item, is their a company that might just sell you what you looking for???
Hey, thanks for watching! Hmm not sure. Sometimes you can get like the Hanes or Chilton manual for the car. They may have diagrams in them for the specific car. Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Alldata has something like that geared for Diy. I think it's priced per car. Check them out. Also your local library may have access to a similar service. Mine does and they use Chilton online
Didn’t know the dotted line thing about more connections 👍🏻 I long time ago in my military career I said to a Sargent major. “ I didn’t know that” he said there’s probably a lot you don’t know. Lol I never forgot that 🤔😁
Hey Michael, the plan is to have this be a multi part series...At this point I'm looking at 5 total videos...but that may expand ;) Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Hi Mike thank you for the video, but I’m only just starting out on wiring diagrams an have no prior knowledge at all. So this video was over my head. Any recommendations or suggestions on where I can start from to build my knowledge? Any videos you can recommend? Thanks
HI, well this is a very good series, beside the videos of High performance Academy...... please layout your entire video series plan and please include a video on "wire length while re-creating/ re-doing wiring harness. keep up the good work. and by the way, it will be awesome if you show some hardware every now and then as example.
Mike, you are AWESOME as always thanks for the time and effort to do all this really appreciated and would be nice if u got the time in next video to show how the ground and power circuit control works thanks. cheeeeers
@@GoTechTraining Hello MIKE, yes indeed would appreciated that and how to tell and to find out is it power or ground side circuit and the different between them. cheeeeeeers
Question...so when you said what you said at point number 4, that the power source and ground source will stop at the first open circuit, are we talking about an electrical fault, or are we dividing the power side of the circuit from the ground side of the circuit? Because I have an issue determining where my ground side begins on a wiring diagram.
THIS is the best explanation and technique for understanding automotive diagrams....GREAT presentation. The shortest distance to learning electrical diagrams is THIS series. Thank you, Mike!
This video helped me a lot. I had no idea where to start when trying to teach myself about wiring diagrams and car electronics.
i hope it does
Please I want help call any one

Mike, you are AWESOME as always thanks for the time and effort to do all this really appreciated and would be nice if u got the time in next video to show how the ground and power circuit control works thanks. cheeeeers
Hey J Georges, thanks!!! Sure, what are you looking to know? The difference between power and ground side control?
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
@@GoTechTraining Hello MIKE, yes indeed would appreciated that and how to tell and to find out is it power or ground side circuit and the different between them. cheeeeeeers
Ready for the next lesson.
Stay tuned Pedro, it's coming!

Question...so when you said what you said at point number 4, that the power source and ground source will stop at the first open circuit, are we talking about an electrical fault, or are we dividing the power side of the circuit from the ground side of the circuit? Because I have an issue determining where my ground side begins on a wiring diagram.
