I disagree with your analysis on one point: after passing though the ignition switch, the power does go back under the hood. So an under hood problem can blow the fuse (if the car is on).
Ooh, piston McNuggets! Yum!
anyone else finds this awesome ? Sweet vid bro , keep'em comin' A L A and S M A , and PHAD , 3 of my faves
Super job!!
Just think… You've got half of the diag already done, if it pops the fuse again. But then again, maybe they normally never use what blew it, and it wont blow for a few years….
Thank you for the wireing diagram lesson. Keep them up. It made sense when u taught it.
Eric one thing you might consider when working with blown fuse circuits is the use of a clamp on ammeter. The circuit should be running near 50% or less of the rated fuse. If you see it running 90% or so, something is failing and with time will blow the fuse.
Great job and thanks for the videos
Another great video. Always educational. Love how you explain!
have mentioned this once before when your videos start music is really loud then when you start talking much lower i listen with headphones if i set volume for voice music blows me away
Electric genius right here for real. This is my first comment in regards to your channel. I've been watching your diagnostic process and determination of faults and it's just amazing. Keep it up man, if you ever throw a course online or what not please post it; I'd love to join. I am a mechanic myself and basic electrical diagnosis is what I can do but this is a little more in-depth. Would I have figured it out? Yes but this just seemed so quick and easy.
Man educational or entertaining are understatement, you’re awesome man. I wish I have the talent like yours. Thumbs up.
Where do you usually bring wiring diagram for any automotive electrical components!?
I think this will lead me to getting the key out of my Aveo!
Could the key lock (solenoid) failing cause a short to blow fuse?
Examine old part?
So, the defective solenoid likely either shorted, or drew too much current. Great diag. Thanks.
Love from Pakistan I love the way you explain every little thing thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I wish you could post more often, I understand you’re busy though.
Do you think the bad key lock actuator could have popped the fuse?
That ANCEL tester appeared to have the functions of several devices,
all included into one small unit. Amazing capability.
