How To Test Relays- EricTheCarGuy
How To Test Relays- EricTheCarGuy How to test relays is a video about just what it says. Every once in a while you need to test a relay and when you do it's important to check it thoroughly, if not you may think it's good and it's not, just because it 'clicks' doesn't mean it's good because that's only part of the equation. Yes you can swap it out with a known good relay and that will save you time but if you don't have a known good then this test should do the trick for you. This video is also a good way to get to know what's inside a relay and how it works so if you're curious about that this would be a good video to watch.

Fuel Pump Electrical Circuits Description and Operation
This is an example of a section in my book that I taught through with my students this morning. Let me know what you think.

GMC and CHEVY truck easy fuel pump fix - make a hatch
I was on my way to the dump one day and my fuel pump went out. Frustrating... This is my aircraft mechanic way of fixing my fuel pump. Airplanes have lots of hatches. You don't have to take the wings off an airplane to get to the fuel pump. On these GM trucks you can scoot the bed back or drop the tank to get to the fuel pump. Or just make a hatch. Rivet on some tabs and put the piece you sawed out back on with some sealant. If you have a bed liner nobody will know but you. Now if your $60 ebay fuel pump goes out again it's a 15 minute fix instead of a 4 hour dirty tank drop. And no need for the $400 OEM pump because you're scared to go through the hassle of dropping the tank again. When I took the pump out it was actually just the flex hose that takes the fuel from the pump to the top of the tank that had cracked. But that OEM pump was always very noisy so I chucked it and went with the cheapest pump on ebay which is still going strong after a couple years and is completely quiet. This is a 98 GMC Z71 extended cab 3 door 4x4 but this will work for a lot of trucks.

How To Restore Headlights - EricTheCarGuy Visit me at: http://www.ericthecarguy.com/ Visit Quixx: http://www.quixx-usa.com/ Mighty Car Mods Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy_WF5Iei_I&feature=results_video&playnext=1&list=PLD7B310EFF13BDC1C 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. --- Click below and Stay Dirty Visit me at EricTheCarGuy.com http://ericthecarguy.com/ Visit EricTheCarGuy Forum http://www.ericthecarguy.com/forum/default.aspx Visit my Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/EricTheCarGuy --- Stay dirty ETCG Due to factors beyond the control of EricTheCarGuy, it cannot guarantee against unauthorized modifications of this information, or improper use of this information.  EricTheCarGuy assumes no liability for property damage or injury incurred as a result of any of the information contained in this video. EricTheCarGuy recommends safe practices when working with power tools, automotive lifts, lifting tools, jack stands, electrical equipment, blunt instruments, chemicals, lubricants, or any other tools or equipment seen or implied in this video.  Due to factors beyond the control of EricTheCarGuy, no information contained in this video shall create any express or implied warranty or guarantee of any particular result.  Any injury, damage or loss that may result from improper use of these tools, equipment, or the information contained in this video is the sole responsibility of the user and not EricTheCarGuy.

How to Test Fuel Pump and Pressure Regulator
This video contains basic a testing procedure using an automotive fuel pressure gauge as a detection tool to test a fuel pump and regulator. Correct fuel pressure and fuel pressure regulator operation is essential for your car's engine to operate properly. Many engine run-ability problems can be related to a weak or failing fuel pump or regulator. Problems can range from hard cold engine starting, low power and stalling while driving. Most cars have a fuel system test port designed into the fuel rail. If your car doesn't have a test port a fuel filter adapter port is needed. This port is attached to the feed side of the fuel filter and then removed after the test is complete.
