Automotive Repair: Locating Battery Drain Using Voltage Drop
http://workshop.search-autoparts.com
You can't measure voltage drop across a resistance unless current is flowing, right? Well, if something is draining the battery, there must be current flowing where there shouldn't be. SO...let's measure across easily accessible resistors...the fuses! And see where that current flow is. Click this link to subscribe to Motor Age! http://bit.ly/MA_YT_freesub

Today's charging systems are implemented with ECM or computer control circuitry. Often times the instrument cluster is tied into the charging system and a network communication or electrical fault to the dash module will render this system useless.
Learn the current flow, electrical characteristics and peculiarities of modern charging systems. Part of our wiring diagram analysis series of videos shown here on this channel. Enjoy...

I've probably been asked about doing this video more than any with this Subaru and I'm happy to bring it to you now. I did make some mistakes when it came to using the buffer so try and learn from those by not using the terry cloth attachment and also making sure you don't stay in one place too long, otherwise stick to the directions and do stuff by hand, do it fast enough and it will be good cardio.
You can find the Quixx kit that I used at Walmart, Pep Boys, and Autozone in addition to your local auto parts supplier.

How to diagnose a bad starter, ignition, neutral safety switch!
The re are 3 wires or electrodes on all starters. One is the large bolt that is attached to the main positive battery cable. One is the small wire that is sometimes purple that is attached to the ignition switch "key". And one is just a copper wire or electrode that supplies a ground/power to the starter from the solenoid.

Parasitic drain, an automotive short circuit that may cause a recurring dead battery
I describe a practical algorithm for diagnosis and investigation of parasitic drain in an automotive electrical system. This problem typically presents with the recurring problem of a dead battery when the car is parked and not used for hours to days. Parasitic draw is a low amperage, high resistance short circuit that persists even when the ignition key is turned off.
This video is published for entertainment purposes only, and it is not to be construed as an instruction guide. If you need help with an automotive problem you should carefully assess your limitations, and consider consulting a professional before getting in over your head. Be careful to protect yourself and to protect your property by not doing something you are unqualified to do....
No Start, Diagnostic Basics - EricTheCarGuy
This video is a response to the Honda Main Relay video that I did. I've had a couple of people come to me with questions about no start conditions and how they should go about fixing them. This video is a starting point to a series that I plan to cover on this subject. The point I make in the video over and over is, don't make assumptions. Assumptions get expensive and can frustrate you to the point of homicide, follow these simple tips and it will lead you down the path of success.
