i love mine. but its broken now lol. bought it on release and now it only gets about 20ftlbs tq before it starts skipping.
That sucks. Have you tried sending it in for warranty?
@@shanersmechaniclife3164 I'm going to next week. It got less and less powefull overtime so it wasn't super obvious until I used my 1/4 inch extended high-speed and it was more powerful then the insider haha.
Had this happen last year
Sucks to hear that. One of those things you assume you know how to do until one little detail ruins your day.
wow...subscribed.
Thanks for watching and the great feedback!
These lights are okay. I hardly owned mine for 2 years before the light became very intermittent. Would constantly flicker and never operate at it's full brightens. It was a surprise to me considering I've had flashlights from the dollar store go through more abuse and survive. I just recently took the tailcap apart to attempt to fix it. The solder was poorly done and all dried up i added some new stuff and it works like new now but you are still much better off getting a proper flashlight from a brand like sofirn or wurkkos. Heck even acebeam and olight are better options. This particular flashlight is just outdated you can do a lot better nowadays.
I was honestly surprised how durable it was. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Which wire do you splice the diode into?
Wow, thanks. Excellent video & tool!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching and the great feedback.
Ive recently replaced my shifter due to another issue i had but im having these issues will i have to replace it again? My issues at the moment are that when my f150 2013 ecoboost is off the lights of the gauges stay on
I would test the switch first before you replace it. Could just be a bad connection or damaged wiring. Hope it works out for you. Keep me posted and thanks for watching.
Man you know what are the most common problems when this happens ? Like I have to worried for this or not ? Thank you for your videos men👍🏻
Could be any number of things. I don't think it happens very often. Thanks for watching and commenting.
It’s $500.00 not cheap lol
I honestly thought Ford would have charged more. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Evap Service Bay Test... ( on scan tool )... i'm glad you showed this after replacing part ! I used to just replace part and hope fer the best ... not anymore ! Great video !
Thanks for the great feedback. I always try to verify the repair to make sure I have diagnosed it properly.
Great tool, Power probe products are great , you can make trouble shooting alot easier, too bad your bosses don't give a shit and take credit for all your work, screw the repair biz , unless your work for yourself never get the credit you deserve. Goo😮d video.
Thanks for the great feedback. As a tech you generally don't get much thanks for diagnosing someone, but you sure do hear it if you make an error. Thanks for watching.
Hey can I ask where you are based?
Anyone know the difference between the 3050-20 and the 3050-21?
The two modules near the spare tire...one of them you called the trailer brake module, but you didn't name the second one. What does that one do and how is it different than the first?
Thanks for information. Very informative. 😊
Gm should be ashamed, 2024 at4x 900 miles and this light already on!
Won't help me with an intermittent short,( running light fuse blowing on a dirt road.). no obvious bare wire.
I give up driving at night.
They should have included the 1/2" adaptor in the set, and like you said, where do you put it. Most people none mechanics would have 1/2" and 1/4" sockets. Would I buy one, yes I would but I bet I am going to lose that 1/2" adaptor 😀
Nice
Thank you sir
Great video! very well made and informative.
Thank you, but my car camera works for a few moments, then the message appears, so the camera is fine, where is the problem? Thanks again
Not bad at all. Thanks for sharing
All this does is send a limited current into the short and uses a DC current ( almost an oxymoron because DC is direct current )sensor to pick up the current path. It's a simple device. You can pick up a DC sensor from almost any electronic test instrument supplier nowadays.
Dang this is similar to the fox and hound detector I use at work never thought of adapting it for servicing vehicles. Next project onboarded. Thanks!
*Thanks. Pretty cool. Probably going to get one when they come up used.*
I could have used this on an old job loader to weeks ago I have the power probe but I like this
What drives me nuts anymore is that on every UA-cam video no one can touch anything with their hands, they all have to wear some stupid plastic gloves to protect their dainty little fingers from getting soiled! If you're REALLY a f-ing mechanic then stop being a pussy and get your GD hands dirty! W.T.F.!
You're the best for showing us this brother. I fixed my rear passenger window switch on my 2009 impreza. Same process. 30min job. Saved 80$
Holy smokes it worked
I hope you get this message that was a great video and I'm definitely going to be looking into this in the future hopefully I have enough money to purchase this amazing product wow
By the time it has all connected you'd already have found the short with only using a test light
All you need is a meter bud. Only 3 fault you can have short, open, high resistance if the light aint working or any other load you just need to put both leads in the harness end if you have voltage you just ruled out a short or open people make electrical diag more difficult than it is.
Can you do one on a power passenger seat that will recline but not sit back up on a 2013 f150 fx4
My truck randomly started misfiring and dying but when it idles or when I get up to 40 it’s not as bad I have a 98 k2500 any thoughts I’m thinking distributor but my uncle thinks it’s the cam timing
HA HA HA..., I bought 1 to find LAWN SPRINKLER WIRING FAULTS. (pretty inexpensive) I use it to TRACK WIRING BREAKS in my MOTORHOME. Uses a 9v and a double A (or was it 2?) OH! And it SHOWS... you exactly where the FAULT is.
nice!
Enjoyed something I need to do
As others have mentioned a compass will work, but if I had this 30 years ago I would have used it daily cool tool. If your doing daily repairs it would save to tons of time the most valuable thing you have in life.
You are correct. Time is very important.
You presented this information very well.
Thanks for watching and the great feedback.
Great video.
Thank You! I appreciate the positive feedback.
quick question if i may: is there ANY amount of build up on solenoid screen is normal, or there should be absolutely none? thank you.
Harbor freight has the one tool you used, from a different manufacturer called Cen-Tech for $20. Same thing but uses internal 9volt batteries that it comes with instead of the vehicles 12v. Even has two different tones to pick from for you liking and a canvas zip up case that holds all the components. Cant imagine what that entire kit cost you bought but i know just the power probe 3 is around $ 300 plus all the other stuff in that kit, it isnt cheep.
I have one similar to what you describe. I got it from napa years ago. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Time is money in Every industy
These tools are the reason why so many auto electrical guys don't use them, they want to be paid by the hr for a reason. As someone who used to do network cables we had line testers that basically did the same. Great video and wish i could afford one but most of my nightmares currently come from vintage stuff that there is no wiring diagrams for lol
Even when paid by the hour, I still try to diagnose and fix it right as fast as I can the first time. No wiring diagrams definitely makes things interesting. Thanks for watching and commenting.
This tool is great to have. Works 90% of the time. 10% is experience.
nice intro audio
what was the cost?
Some decades ago we used a time domain reflectometer to check wires/cables. You could calibrate it to say a piece of 16ga or 14ga wire (whatever you had issues with) and then hook it up to your problem child. It would tell you how far from the hookup a short or open was and additionally if there was a change in resistance anywhere in the wire.
Thank you
