I want to install a kill switch to my fuel pump relay. So I would have to splice into the 86?
Trying to locate under the spare tire is there a relay box for 05 Ford is it under the spare tire
I'm 75 years old and have been a mechanic most of my life. This is an excellent video. It is very easy to understand. Thank you. God Bless
Yes he is good but when you are hard of hearing he talk way too fast for me sorry guys
@@teranorris8606 For fast talkers or a slower listen like me, it can help to slow the video time down with selecting the top right corner of video, 3-dot setting button.
@@jimmay1988 .
it was not an excellent video, it's ok'ish bc he said one of the relays was supposed to be bad yet he didn't test it to show us why it was bad, very stupiid
@@teranorris8606 Just go to the three little dots at the upper right of the video and press it then select “Playback speed” and slow down the video.
I was a heavy equipment mechanic for more than forty years I was self taught on most of what I knew about the electrical end of the business I only wish I had someone like you to teach me some of these things great job keep up the great work
Im 44 and just learning as well. Trying to start a 96 Geo Metro with no spark but the fuel pump comes on. So I bought a millimeter. Excellent video.
Frfr
bro, you literally solved my issue right as I was prepping for a fuel filter and pump change out!! THANK YOU!!!!
FINALLY someone able to make this understandable. All others assume you know which pins go to what.
someone who actually explains the mechanics of a relay...refreshing.
As a career electrician and a car hobbiest/buff that like to turn wrenches and test my circuits when I have a problem I commend you on addressing how to bench test a relay and to say great job, very basic info needed to diagnose a majority of electrical control issues in the 21st century and beyond. Good job man!
I purchased a Toyota IQ 2009 push start button last year it was good and all ( its a used car) but i didnt drive it for a little while and now that i'm ready to drive it, its not starting..... Couldnt be the battery because i purchased a new one when i got the car, i just replaced the gas pump and there's petrol in it....... When i push the button to start it stuff shows up on the dashboard but when i try to start the car its making a clicking sound repeatedly then its like its dead again. What could be the issue??
@@genesiswaltz9632did you find out what the issue was with your car not starting?
@@doradean3097 no its been sitting in my yard for months. Do you know why its not starting?
A guy good enough to explain this stuff to an electrically challenged guy like me! A small miracle.
100% of what I was wanting to learn & 0% filler or BS. Freakin' BRAVO, Sir !
Thank you man. it is really useful video, I am almost 70 years old and I glad of learning of a young man like you! BRAVO!
This video was extremely helpful. I'm an auto tech student and I've been struggling with understanding electrical circuits. Thank you so much for breaking it down like this.
Thank you for an "honest to goodness" easy to follow and understand tutorial. Very helpful. Also, great camera work.
I’ve been an industry mechanic for celebrities for 324 years. I just want to say that this is a well structured video with clear steps and information for a novice viewer. Thank you for your amazing work. AlluhAkbar
Very informative Mr. Hector. You have the attributes of a good man and leader by sharing your knowledge.
If all channels were like this, online learning would have been the best. Thank you sir. May God almighty bless abundantly
Hektor, this explanation and demonstration is the best I've seen. You've outdone the engineers' and doctorate professors' lessons. You have a gift of simplifying technical operations for the average Joe. Thanks for helping me pass my test!! Mak'n Latinos Look Good!! Keep up the great work!! I'm subscribed now!! Thanks!!
Pluses Hektor Pluses! Excellent oil brother thx much. God bless you. John 3:16.
You’re crazy
Finally, One of the few on YOU TUBE that is really good at what they do, really good job, way to make it REALLY EASY to understand and do, ROCK STAR, HOMIE
I am a master Chrysler tech I can always learn from people like this this guy is a awesome tech
Great video for an electrician, too. I thought 13 minutes might be a bit much, but the education was actually straight forward, and to the point. THANKS 😊
Thanks man 👍 you know if you buy a relay you can't return it & you save me that trouble.Youre a genius
This video answers so many questions for me. Not only how to properly test a relay, but also a great explanation and visual of what actually happens inside a relay. Thanks Hektor!
Thank you for explaining precisely and concisely how to check a relay. Most things are simple if explained in a simple way, and you have eliminated the mystery. Many videos I've seen about this subject are confusing. Also thank you for not elaborating on non-essential talk.
tomshiba51 thanks for subscribing, don’t forget to share 🤙🏼
Very well explained simple
Tech for 40 yrs great job. Lil homie 👍🏼
Always awesome to see diagnostic procedures and how to videos keep doing what you do brotha
Outstanding tutorial and I’ve have seen a lot as a retired aircraft mechanic for the USAF 👍🇺🇸
U tube is so amazing...the things that people know and then teach us..Thank you!
Nice tutorial my man! Very clear and to the point, as well as being correct.
You just saved me some money. I was planning on checking fuses and relays today. I watched your video, went out pull the relay, gave it a shake and heard that sweet rattling sound. 10 minute slater I got it for under 10 bucks and now the air is PUMPING!!!! I didn't even get my hands dirty.
Thank you!
Super awesome video. You know someone really knows what they are talking about when they can explain something and make it so easy to understand.
Thank you Homie! You helped me to fix my 2001 F150 today with this video. I only spent $16 for a relay and it fixed my problem because I watched this video. Keep it up!
All you need do is give the viewers a hand out with a sketch of what you excellently explained and you can charge them $300 for the class! Great job.
Hmmmmm
I hate bad videos full of unrelated information and bad editing and lousy camera work, so I really like yours! I'm just trying to be an informed car owner and sometimes do easy things for myself. you tube is a big help, but I can spend a few hours trying to get a few minutes worth of education and then, it isn't memorable. So I am subscribing to your channel.
Thank you it was worth my time and worth my time to share it to a Facebook group Lincoln enthusiasts and Lincoln owners.
I will subscribe and I will watch videos upon any topics you wish to present.
Thank You ' Sensei '🛐
Hello, I am the self proclaimed "Queen of mechanical failures". Whatever I'm driving, it breaks down! It doesn't matter if it's mine or someone else's,old or new! So that being said, I've been forced to work on my own vehicles for years now . I love your videos especially about relays! It's so informative and easy-to-follow and I appreciate that!
Thanks man you have explained these better than anyone has, very helpful
Finally!!! This is so helpful. Thank you for making such a detailed video.
I'm a Ford certified tech you made relay testing so simple. To each their own, thanks man!
jeff alan thanks for subscribing 🤙🏼
Damn, Son. You're a natural born teacher. Great explanation.
Cali here! Homie way to make it easy. You sound like a Pro!!!!
Great video. You explained the bench testing so quickly and clearly. My first electrical tech teacher took over 3 hours of lecture time and still have the class didnt get it. LOL
I enjoy your teaching you're the real deal just keep doing what you're doing One thing to remember don't justify yourself to no man thanks again for showing how to diagnose a relay. Good job sir
After countless hours & different videos ...I gotta commend u for what & how u go about getting urs done....So simple to understand & follow. ON POINT homeboy 💯 Thank You
Thanks for the lesson, Homie Hektor. I was troubleshooting the blower fan on my 2005 GMC canyon four-door truck and wondered how to test a relay. It turned out to be the multiple ground module on the front passenger fender, beside the air cleaner, but now, I know how to test a relay! Cool.
Ken Lovan that’s awesome 👏🏼 glad it helped you out 🙌🏼
Call in a minute
@@HomieHektor "loo
You just got a subscriber. You deserved it
This is one of the best instructional vids I’ve seen young man! Great job.
I’m currently having electrical issues with some commercial mowers I have, and tbh, I never understood how relay’s actually worked and their purpose. You explained it in layman’s terms and it’s evident you’re very very knowledgeable in your field. Keep it up !!💪💪
I congratulate you and encourage you to do more of this type of video for electrical systems. Most of the time you do not find information regarding the fuse box and how to troubleshoot relays and car front beams. this is one of a kind video that I have watched twice.
Thanks for teaching us how to troubleshoot relays.
Excellent job young man please stay on this path you are doing an amazing job. !!!
You are doing the lords work lol love this video. Even a simpleton like my self can grasp this .thank u dude u rock
WOW fantastic demonstration about a relay and how it works! For a guy who doesnt really understand electronics and volt meters your did a GREAT job making things clear. I now know how to test these on my cars. Muchas Gracious :)
Hector, thank you for the refreshing change. Most automotive repair videos are PAINFUL to watch. They can't communicate, can't record video, and can't pronounce the parts they're talking about. I sure hope you're making some bank from these videos because you're not only intelligent, but also talking to you're audience like you recognize their intelligence, too. You're a rare breed..keep it up!
awesome relays have always baffled me nice clear explanation and demonstration
You’re a great teacher Hektor! So thorough. Subscribed!

Great video Hektor. Best example of relay operation I've seen in a long time.
Great video Hektor, no fluff just good clear information. I'll be checking more of your videos. Thanks.
Great videos! please, please do more basic tech intro videos on diagnostics and electrical please. Thanks. u da man!
Homie hector, your the man. This is the best relay tutorial. I just subscribed and cant wait to see your other videos. Thanks for taking the time to make this

Excellent demo.We expect more such useful demo videos from you..Thanks a lot bro,pl.keep it up.
Wow
You real made this so much easier.
🙏
I like this,direct and precise,no confusions.thanks big man
Amazing video man. Incredibly informative, background music is subtle and engaging. You keep the info coming at you, i had no urge to skip ahead.
Thanks bro. a big help and quite informative keep on helping those needy like me😜😜😜
What a good teacher you are!!! I find relays to be confusing and intimidating to be honest, but after watching your video I now see those relays shaking with fear because I know how to test them now, I no longer have to tell anyone to find somebody that knows how to test them because thats not my forte.... I appreciated this video so much that i put a thumbs up and subscribe aswell, thanks you Homie Hektor.
Best video on UA-cam about understanding Relays!... Top stuff man!
Hey man I've watched alot of videos on here and owe alot of what I know to a good portion of them. I have shared your video with so many people. Thank you man!
Very informative! My thanks to you for sharing your knowledge..
Thank you!
Hektor - You deserve a metal and a job @ UA-cam reviewing automotive videos, so that, the crap gets ditched. Good Job!
This is the best video for the Relay Test. Thanks Homie Hektor!
Very well said!!
Great video. I use this today for my car. Clear instruction and easy to understand.
hey thanks a whole bunch, I use to be confused every time some guy on youtube was checking the control side and power side of the relay , now I fully understand thanks a millioin for sure , thanks again for your tips and knowledge for us rookies,
One of the best instructional videos ever. Could have used this when I was building my VW Thing! Would have saved a ton of time!!!
Great job 👍 been looking for such a explanation.
Excellent video, complete and thorough explanation, and great editing.
O
BIG Thanks for this tutorial on relays...I'm still learning stuff about my old BMW R100GS motorcycle and this video really helped me...Brillaint job...From UK
Great job!!! Very helpful and knowledgeable!! I have a problem in my van and now I can discard a relay problem thank you!!!
Hands on the best way to learn, thanks for the tutorials.
@Marc Xero Your are right theory and practice are equally important, this tutorial however was about how to test a relay not the science behind electromagnetism, coils, magnetic fields, etc.
My relay testing search ended after watching this video
I thought I left a comment already for you. Well I tried the relay test it worked so I am giving you your props and have my little homie figurine by my side to represent you. Thank you for posting it's much appreciated. Two homie thumbs up
You filled in the blanks I knew I didn't know. Thanks for the very informative video.
Dude, this was a quality video! I'm surprised your under 50k subs! Keep at it though, you'll only gain subscribers faster from here!
Thanks man appreciate that 💯
You should always test the 30- 87 or 87a connection for Resistance. You can measure voltage or use a test light and that connection might look okay but still have burned or corroded contacts which will give you a Voltage drop/higher than normal Resistance which could prevent enough current from flowing to the Load. Your Resistance measurement should show NO resistance. There should be NO Voltage drop across those contacts. Otherwise you did a very good job producing this Video on this subject.
L
Yup
When you test 30 and 87 for resistance should you have power to 85 and 86 or just test the resistance to 30 and 87?
Truly informative for the non mechanic...Thank you my Brother...Learned something today..FELICIDADES Y GRACIAS..
🤝
Very good basic and clear explanation-easy to follow! I like the way you took your time and showed exactly what you were doing-nice work!
ShowSomeRespect Gracias 👊🏼
thank you for teaching me to troubleshoot
Sup Hektor
That CHINGADERA just made my brain explode LOL
Good video like always 👍
This is one of the BEST VIDEOS I SEEN, AWSOME HECKTOR.
Thank you so much I have plenty in my garage but didn’t understand how they work. Now that I know they will surely come in handy for many projects
I wanna see you smack dat fly.
With all seriousness aside, thanx for the instructions. Exactly spot on. Thank you
Your video is still educating people. You just schooled me. Well done!
Really good video. I have very limited electrical experience but I feel confident that I could test any suspected faulty relays safely while getting tuition from this video.
Great work @homiehektor 👏 👏👏👍
Tanks a lot u so Taf and perfect
One of the most common faults with relays is burnt contacts. Resistance checks don't work . A voltage test across the contacts under load is the test to use
1magnit I have a silly question. How can you put a “load” on a relay that doesn’t work? If the contacts are bad or weak won’t they drop out because of the initial inrush or load? Just a couple of honest questions.
A relay has 2 main parts, the coil and the contacts. You need to be more specific on what doesn't work? A open circuit coil? or contacts that don't "make" A coil doesn't have an inrush current. The load that's switched by the contacts might or might nor, depends on the type of load.
Great video. Excellent description of the theory and operation. Easy to understand the testing.
Thanks for this video. Very clear explanation of the mechanics and operation of relays.
Great video. I am a complete novice so pardon my ignorance but what power source did you use to test the relays? Can you use a car battery or?
This is late but may help someone else reading. Use a 12volt DC direct current as ure source & you should be good. Jump start pack or a supply unit that allows for power to be switched from 69,12,24 to give adequate voltage.
