Very informative video! Now I feel confident that I can change a bad fuse, without having to spend crazy money on a mechanic to do it for me! Thanks, Tim! 🙌🏽

Hi Laki!😁🤗 Thank you!

Can’t wait to see where you go next Tim 🤗❤️🙏🏼

Hello Tim. I have been a subscriber for some time, but this is the first time I have commented. (Sorry.) I so enjoy your videos and learn so much from them. Even though this is beyond my skills to wire anything, I have learned so much. My father was a mechanic and in the 70's he use to make me change my own oil and gap my own spark plugs, but he never told me about the fuses. This was so very helpful. Thank you for sharing such important information. I hope you have a great day!!

Hi Debbie! Wow, your dad taught you good skills. My dad did the same and I learned some more myself. I'm glad that you find this helpful. Understanding how it works is half of the battle won. Have a blessed week. Thank you for following along.

Very nice tutorial! I imagine this will help a lot of people. With phones and things needing charged regularly it’s pretty important to have those outlets working.

Definitely! I bought that 12 V outlet splitter because of one of them not working since 2021!🤦 I finally got tired of being handicapped on power supply for my many electronic devices!

😂😂😂you made me laugh when the camera slid over to the manual on the passenger seat 😂😂😂 I hate looking at the manual. It’s just overwhelming to me but I have referred to it once or twice. I actually understood about 85% of your video. That’s an improvement. Thanks for teaching.

So good of you to teach this using your mistake as an example. I make mistakes too. You shared yours, so I'd like to share this story with you (kind of short version): I smell sewage in my kitchen. I thought plumbing leak somewhere. I checked whole house - sink drains, p-traps, toilets. No leaks. I thought kitchen sink drain maybe, so I used baking soda and vinegar to clean drain, in case clog was forming. But odor still in kitchen, not in sink drain. I look outside to see if effluent was surfacing anywhere, including clean-out caps. I called town to come check lines, they said everything fine on their end. Advised me to call plumber. Can't afford plumber. I became afraid that maybe sewer lines under my house broke. My house is on a slab - the floor and the driveway would have to be jack-hammered up to replace lines. Tens of thousands of dollars. In desperation I started searching Google. "What causes sewage smell in kitchen". One of the answers was to check the drip tray under the refrigerator. Omg, that is the answer! Unfortunately I can't get to the drip tray - I suspect it is a bolt-in, not a slide-out. Fridge must be tipped to remove it. I cannot do that. I will pull the fridge away from wall and remove back panel. Hopefully tray is a slide-out. If not, bye-bye fridge. I should say that fridge is 24 yrs old, and has not worked properly in years. Freezer doesn't freeze, fridge compartment not cold enough. I just realized that fridge is not keeping my insulin cold enough. (That explains some things about my bad A1c results). I think it's time for new fridge. So much better than huge jack-hammered hole inside my house, and driveway removed. So that's the lesson. Remain calm. Determine true source of odor. Check everything you know how to do yourself. I'm telling you and everyone that refrigerators have drip pans, and they need to be cleaned out if they start to smell. Check owner's manual (can be found online if you lost original) to see how to remove, clean, and replace drip pan. Also, if you do call plumber and they say sewer lines must be replaced, insist that they prove to you that that is where the smell is coming from. You have that right. Watch them closely. Have a great Sunday, Tim!

Good lesson there! YES, every modern refrigerator have a drip pan under it. It is there to collect water drain down from your freezer during the "automatic defrosting" cycle. Supposedly, the water collected there will evaporate as the cooling fan running. And for some reason it collect more water than usual, your refrigerator is having issues. I think that you got your money worth out of a fridge after 20 years. Newer fridge run more efficient and cost you less in electricity in the long run. In my own experience, the cheapest and simplest fridge last the longest! I owned two of the cheapest GE fridges. One when I first got married 31 years ago and one now. They both lasted me more than 20 years. It is important to clean out the cooling fins which I did a video about it on my channel. A very easy task if you can move the fridge out from the wall.

@@MoBangFoYoBucks Thank you Tim! I am absolutely going to look up your video on cleaning the cooling fins! Thanks so much for that. Yes, I can pull the fridge from the wall, as long as I empty it first. I've done that several times over the years to vacuum from the back. I probably should have been doing that once or twice a year from the start. Last time I cleaned under there, several weeks ago, I used a fridge brush from the front. If the drip tray is a pull-out, perhaps I pushed some debris into the tray by accident. I can see how that would cause a problem, very much like a sink clog. I really appreciate your response, your skill at fixing things, and your generosity in sharing your experience and advice. Have a good evening!

Wouldn’t be the first time I came to a ‘faulty wiring’ conclusion, especially when there is missing (or incorrect) information. I spent hours troubleshooting a ‘bad’ 12 volt outlet on my PMC because I had an incorrect fuse diagram that I pulled of the internet. (The PMC didn’t have an owner manual when I bought it used) BTW, I carry an assortment of micro fuses that I bought on Amazon, and always have a multi meter as part of my toolbox. Cheers, Doug

Thanks for the video Tim. I've been chicken to us my cig port to charge anything but my phone while I'm driving long distances... such as my fridge, power station, and hot logic cooker. Does this damage the car battery over time? Also, I've seen people on youtube with hot or melted 12v adapter end. Should I be worried?

@MoBangFoYoBucks

That's is the function of a fuse. It prevents fire due wire short circuit. That's why I emphasized the importance of replacing the same numbered fused (in this case 15A). Which I didn't!🤣 But with 5A over I'm not yo worry about it.

For experiment, plug something that will draw more than 200W and your inverter will beep and stop. If it doesn't, you might start a fire in your car if the fuse doesn't break like you saw in my video!😉
