Ingenious and simple! Great!

I found that wiring videos I watched were very helpful because it made me think to look in other places for my taillights problems.

Thank you for your kind comments, you have brightened my day

U are.. so simple and easy at explaining things.. wicked!

The tool he is using is called a Power Probe. It looks like the Power Probe III. It has a voltage display, but it is not a multimeter. It is a great tool and there are videos on youtube that detail it's operation.

***** Awesome TIP - I look forward for next great tip. Springfield,VA.

So so well explained Thank you Very much

Without knowing the details of the relay or without a wiring diagram, you won't. But just for your info most of the relays out there use a DIN standard numbering system. For example, for a 5-pin ISO relay which is very common, pins 86 and 85 are for the coil (86 is + and 85 is -), 30 is the common, 87 is the NO contact and 87a is the NC contact. You could use a voltmeter and observe your readings, but without a diagram you wouldn't know their function.

I love smart people with creative brains.

Best help video so far on you tube I've seen.

Someone commented to me that this does not test the relay itself, but only indicates that the receptacle that the relay pins plug into is getting voltage, because the wire that you're touching with the probe is carrying current from that female receptacle, which would allow the current to travel to your probe, just the same as if the relay weren't there at all, and the wires were stuck down into the receptacles. If this is a mistaken conclusion, would you please explain how that is so.

I love little tricks of the trade like this knowledge is built up in many years very very good

Sounds real simple, thanks I will try it,,,

Very good information- learned something new -Thank You

TY So Very Much One Of Thee Smartest tricks I Have Ever Seen Yet!

one word…..BRILLIANT !!!!!

I always test the relay with a battery, listen to the click sound and remove the cover to inspect contact points and for signs of rust and corrosion

You are a creative guy. Thanks for sharing your idea.

Nice. I think it will be helpful when i'll be able to locate the relay box somewhere in my Peugeot. A 2004 Peugeot, by the way.

great video, Im going to try it on my Benzy. thanks !!!

I've got issues going on and I can't be sure relays ain't the problem. So I'll put this to use. Thanks

Simple relays have a field positive, field negative and power to load. Jack Morgan, if you want to repair your own car, buy some tools instead of being derrogatory. What he is using is called a Power Probe. You need one to test for continuity, power, ground and to power a circuit. You need a multimeter to do many other tests, but you need to spend a few bucks. The multimeter is the least expensive, but can get up there in price for pro user models or for long term dependabliity.

I was waiting for somebody to use the power probe 3 two tests relays thank you

Good Afternoon Realfixesrealfast take care and have a great day Realfixesrealfast 👍 Thanks 👍 From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧

Thank you, your videos are the best and I just saw 2 so far!!! Thanks again very helpful material.

a pesar de no ser un norteamericano se puede entender facilmente tu explicacion.gracias

excellent way to test the relay, good job..and thanks.

This is one of the best videos by far!

Thank you for sharing your tips. That was a cool one.

Thank you Sir, you are a "Relay Ninja".

I like that kind of continuity tester, what brand and model is it?

Buahahaha! Man I love scrolling down to read the comments. Always a good laugh.

Thank You for that awesome bit of knowledge!

awesome way to test a relay.

Excellent method. Thanks.

Awesome ,greetings from algeria

Nice ... it will come in handy, thanks

Oh man that's great. I'm always looking for better ways to solve car problems.

Very Great !

Fantastic, exactly what I needed to know, thanks!

That was an excellent bit of information. Thanks!

I have a 2002 Volvo S40 but I cannot find the fuel pump relay please help me find it.

Thank you. Very inventive. Appreciate the tip.

Wow,thats experience.... Nice video👍👍

cool idea and great presentation, i say 5 stars good friend

Ingenious. Thanks for that tip.

@RobertNiez its a power probe, very usefull

I never get an answer from anyone but here's a nuthere one what if you don't have a tester like you have can you just use a Hood light bulb and do it that way

Thank you sir.

Brilliant

excellent example.

Sure why not! The light will light when you touch a point if it's receiving B+ because the test light is connected to ground. Or if you connect the test light to B+, then you'll see the light come on when you touch a B- point.

i have one of that power probe . comouflage edition. very useful...as in very very useful..

great tip thank you, YOU are greatly appreciated.

Real pro's tips and tricks. Thanks.

Sounds like it's time for a wiring diagram. Check out alldata. The battery is what turns on the relay. Nope, the amperage from the battery isn't too high. The relay will only draw the amount of current it needs from the battery unless of course you wire it wrong and then you'll get a different story.

old school,only the best.

Simple but effective idea, Thank-you for uploading this video. If you have replaced bulbs on a headlight when the low beam is not working and you have changed the fuse and it's still not working and the fuse relay is good. Any ideas what the next check would be. Hello, from Glasgow

Hello.I have an aftermarket car alarm and I want to tap in the flasher relay from the hazard lights,do you think if I do the same as you did with the wires hanging up and then run the wire from the cars alarm main unit ,do you think it will work si when the alarm comes on to have the hazard lights on to?like sound and lights the same time?

Thank you so much for this!!!!

great info but I do have ? when you test a relay, I know pin 30 have power all the time, but what about the fuses do they have to be with voltage?

my blinkers quit but its not the fuse or bulb...could it b the blinker fluids plus my wipers won't shut off ,should we try testing the relays ....also no horn or cruise control

Been doing that for power cables if no plug. Jam wires in socket and put plug on top. Never thought about using it for this though, so thanks. Now why is there three ground and one positive though? Was under impression low current passes through one side of relay creating magnetic force to put switch across enabling high current on other side to connect. Please answer me as new to this stuff.

Having issues with my chevy venture it will start then stall didn't have this issue until I messed with a couple relays and now it starts then stalls

Thanks for the information....really. ....thanks

How would this work if I was using a multimeter?

Very usefull. Thanks 👍

i have a 2008 pontiac g6 i replaced the low beam headlight connector and bulb but the low beam won't come on what could be the problem

I never would have thought to do this in a million years. I think I'm going to take a patent out on this! Smile.

what if there is no power on the 85/ 86 under the relay no cooling fan no abs no ac all seem to be without power under relays and fusebox on passenger side buick 1995 regal

Can someone tell me where the headlight relay on a 2008 Toyota highlander is located please!!

Dewayne is a genius

thanks for ur video,one of the best

And what is checking ohms across a contact going to tell you? The contact can be pitted, burned and yet the ohmeter can pick up a tiny point of resistance and say its good. Push some current through the contact and it will fall on its face. You need to do a voltage drop test across the contact to know for sure of its condition.

That is pretty freaking smart. Thank you

Thanks for your help

I have a 2000 Malibu n my relay fuse under the hood to the heater blow is not gettin a connection. And the fues is good

Very creative!!

Can you use a multi-test to check continuity?? I’m going to try this way also, ac is acting up. Thanks for the information 👍🏻

so if it didn't light up, does that mean u need to buy a new relay, or something else that not causing it to light up!

Excellent!!

I'm not sure what you're asking. "Fuses, do they have to be with voltage?" Fuses have voltages fed to them if that's what you're asking.

Thanks for the tip.

is it hard to remove/replace the fuel pump relay?Is it a "unplug and plug back in" type of thing?

Good Work Man Thanks

Hi I changed the light relay in a Toyota tarago and now it will no longer start. It started right before without any relay. Do you think it blew something worse because the battery wasn't disconnected? Thanks to anyone who helps.

I needed to test my car central locking relay, but it has 6 pins and the references 80, 30 etc are not present....any idea about how to test it? :( Another question is: is it safe to use the car's battery to test them directly? Isn't the amperage to high so can damage the relay? (sorry, I don't know much about car electrics)

The seat could be equally faulty.

Been there done that thank God I don't do it anymore...

Cool thanks

That's a brilliant idea, but what if you haven't got a power probe, can you explain how to do the same test with a multimeter?

It's only slightly more complicated to begin with but once you get the hang of it you are good to go. You only have to remember to test for power with the black meter lead grounded and test for ground with the red meter lead connected to power. Swip, swap, one in each hand and one for the other and you can almost match his speed - almost.
