Have you checked your oil levels? Quick car vehicle oil check. Do I need to top up my oil?

Have you checked your oil levels? Do I need to top up my oil? The oil in your engine is one of your cars most important elements. It keeps all the engine’s internal parts moving as they should, and stops them from wearing out too quickly. If the oil level in your engine drops too low it’ll stop it from working efficiently and cause it to seize up. This could eventually lead to significant engin...

I’m so sorry very great and informative video but what was the piece called again I’m sorry silly American here lol
Hi no problem its called an incandecent tset light basically its a buld in series Dont use a digital test light .if it has numbers on a display do not use If it has a bulb that lights up very basic no bells or whistles its the correct test light to use i hooe this helps
@@EverydayMechanic gotcha and definitely 👍 i appreciate it
perfect, thank you
Thank you so much.
Hi my window stoppdd working the passenger and both rear sides....ive checked the fuse and its good the driver side works fine. They all stopped working at the same time im going to test this tmr but just in case it does work does anyone else have any idea what it could be?
Do the switches on the doors work ? The drivers switch pack may of failed witch would leave the other switches on the actual doors still operable ?
@@EverydayMechanic no non of them work. Only the lock and unlock work. The driver side window does go up and down just fine but the rest won't go up or down at all. Thanks for responding 🙏🏻
What if the regulator is broken??
If my holden sv6 window remote is damage how do I fix the console itself
Thanks
I live in Yuma - my window got stuck in the down position and I dont have ac -- fk it !
Thank you very much for explaining very clearly and with great patience
Transits fall apart with rust,surprising anyone would steal them there a pile of shite,I know I scrapped mine because of rust
So was the switch bad or the wire?
I am fuking retarted, i lock the windows accidentally while cleaning so it wouldnt go up
Simple but great
Good👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Brilliant
Hello, thank you for the video where do I buy the little pin ?
If you’ve changed both and it still doesn’t work which fuse is it.
This is genius. I spent 2 hours trying to get my window to go back up aftwr it got atuck down, after watching multiple other videos i found and nothing was working. I found this one and poof, window up! Thank you!!
No nonsense approach straight to the point ....the simple test light is a gem of information to have ...well done and thank you .
This didn’t work for me. My test light looked cheap though. I don’t know
Hi mate..... Have a GWM C10 car with same problem.... But all 4 of the windows dont work..... I checked the fuses , tested and even swapped the window relay with a known good one, but still nothing..... All 4 motors and switches couldnt have blown at the same time i believe.... Im gonna try your method first then i guess its off to an auto electrician to find whether theres a broken power or ground wire somewhere not feeding all the windows
Hi does sound like a module may have gone down if all fuses are good so see if a scan tool code reader will communicate and if so see if codes are stored in the driver door module if no communicetion can be found then check if the driver door module has power and grounds
I have a 2012 Ford focus. My rear passenger window will row down with the switch but won't go up. I turned the ignition on, used a brand new test light and when I touched the module only one out of the 4 holes lit up red, but nothing happened with the window. What am i doing wrong?
If you have power windows and you've been having to assist it up and down for a while and now it won't go back up try holding the switch up and slamming your door
thank you this video helped
Mine has an alarm system that goes off if you glance near it. When it rains especially.
Doesn't work if the linkeage is broke.
Just tried this on my bt50 and it doesn’t move any windows including the 3 that are working
Hi there , will this work for rear windows from the drivers side front Main switch panel ? Thanks so much
What was that tool you placed on the tip of your test light? I need to get that or a similar tool. A Great video by the way and easy to understand.
I’m currently trying this as I speak. I’m using a circuit tester from Wally World. The tip is actually pretty slim and pointy and gets into the holes but I haven’t had success yet. I think you need that extra tip he slides on. I’m going to try a paper clip, unfold it make it straight and use electrical tape to wrap it around tester tip. Will update if that does the trick. If that doesn’t work it may be my ground in clamping to isn’t good enough so that’s next however I’m using the same spot he used in this video and my metal is bare so I’m betting on that tip attachment doing the trick.
Great video!
What are you using to charge the wire?
Thank you very much -- I just put in a new battery and for the life of me, could not figure out why the two rear view (2008 Toyota Solar SLE convertible) windows would not go up w/the top and front two windows -- woohoo! Good to go. Thanks very much from a single woman that turned to RUclips!🚖
Quick question.. are the fixes the same to the 2013 shape
Brilliant video thanks. My mates van was stolen yesterday with 3ks worth of fucking tools. Gonna sort my van
I had my car diagnosed by a mechanic today through his computer my car was on 115000 mileage and I've noticed now the millage is 185000 😮 so I called him he said bring it back to me I'll put it back to 115000 ,! THIS WON'T GIVE MY CAR ANY PROBLEMS WILL IT IN FUTURE ??
You didn't manually roll them down man.. you still used the electronics??
this is your 89 yr old advisor. Get rid of the chewing gum -- don't know what you said
What if the wire is broken between the switch and the fuse panel and there's no power going to the switch? Is there any way to use the lighter plug to jump the switch?
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you.😁
Thanks mate. Explained it clear & short.
Thank you just what I need to do..thanks
Difficult to hear, even at max volume, almost inaudible.
Wow! He's good, simple an effective...
He doesn’t explain how to make the test piece. He already has a bunch of pieces together
For kia ceed from 2008 work this method 😮 ?
I personally dislike power windows and power locks...just more parts to go out easily and have to replace! In fact, the best rollup windows are on the older vehicles using metal cranks, etc. It is amazing to me how much car manufacturers charge for a car using A LOT of plastic.😝
If the window regulator switch is bad... won't work.. you have to bypass it
great video ,have the same problem,what if that still didnt work? im thinking it could than be one of the wires right?
Yes this methid just bypasses a faulty switch if this doesnt work then more testing would be needed but bear in mind this test only works on can bus / linbus designed systems
Can you stop chewing, it's freaking impossible to hear what you say
Can I bring you home with me? 😂I love my husband but he can’t change a lightbulb and my drivers window is stuck half down and it was just below 46 degrees Celsius a week ago.
