Relay Testing Using A Relay Buddy
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 июн 2024
- In this video, I test some relays out of a Toyota and Nissan using a Relay Buddy from Electronic Specialties. Using one of these can save some time but it is not foolproof as you will see in video. I also show how to test a relay with a DVOM and PowerProbe. The complete name of tool used in video: Electronic Specialties 191 Relay Buddy Pro Test Kit.

A little quicker then manually testing them! Nice job Dave. And as I keep watching you do the manual test!
lol, thanks MIke!

I see your using a Radio Shack DMM, that will be an Antique Rear now that there is no more Radio Shack!!! 😆😆 great VIDEO.
Yes I have actually retired that one now, thanks for the comment!
Another winner from the B.D! Are the supplied adapters for oddball situations like your Toyota 4 pin? Thanks, partner.
Sweet tool
Thanks for the comment!
Is there a quick, reliable way to decide which posts are the control and which attach the load? For example in your demo the control posts were at right angles to a line between the two, is that a consistent feature? Given the fuse buddy can have only a few options, it looks like they mostly have a common design....
Can you make some pigtails for a recess relay to connect to the relay test???
Thanx once again Big Dogg😎👍🏼I was contemplating on buying this for relay checks and saw ur video in the recommended area. Just what I was looking for..I'm goin to order it thru ur link.im gona order the es 191 pro kit..so do u just plug it to ur cars battery terminals?
Yes it connects to a vehicle battery to power it up. Thanks for the support!
@@BigDog50001 thank u broski😎👍🏼now I can order it from ur confirmation
Nice
Thanks!
did you try one of the adaptors in the kit for the green relay that fooled the tool?
btw this unit does "load the circuit"
The other adapters were not for this application. I do not believe it loads the circuit.
I think a relay can appear to be working but not be able to carry the proper amperage. Does this tool make sure the relay can carry the intended load?
MBS No, it does not apply a load, at least not that I'm aware of. A test light/bulb at end of circuit should reveal that. This is just another tool in arsenal to help with diagnostics.
How useful have you found this tool ? I'm thinking of buying it. What's the other adapters for ?
I like it alot, it is great for quick and easy relay checks, but like any tool it has its limitations. Some of the adapters are for different relay pin combinations and the rest of the adapters are extensions so that oversized relays that might not be able to be plugged directly into tool can be tested.
@@BigDog50001 I just ordered one...why not lol . I'm all for tools that save time lol
Why not lol!
Very cool thanks
Thank you, I appreciate the comment.
What is the toyota relay in color green? I have one in my toyota as well and im having troubles on finding one. What is it called? Thanks
Toyota "90084-98011" or Bosch "0 332 104 001"
is this kit good for european cars?
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
Relay buddy is missing some test parts!
I got the Lisle 60150 I think it’s better than the relay buddy because I have that style too Pay 13 bucks worth of eBay
👍
nice to have this over priced tool kit.
The off vehicle relay tester is kind useless because if you question a relay you can always just swap a relay from the same fuse box.
the real relay tester or in circuit tester is so called onboard relay tester with pin break outs which let you test the power ground on coil side also you are able to jump on the switching side to trigger it manually.
Thanks for the input.
Y z , what u say seems to make some sense . Can u please elaborate on the logic behind what u say and the procedure of onboard relay testing. Any external links are also appreciated. Thank u.
@@jayasanka5978
always check fuse first
if you suspect a bad relay, just swap it from same fuse box,
like ur fuel pump not working, but u know ur high beam is working well, so swap those two relays if they are the same type, if u find out high beam stops working and fuel pump is working then u know u have a bad original relay, if high beam is working and fuel pump still not then is not fuel pump relay issue, could be a fuse or bad component cobtrolled by relay, or sth else
those relay adapters from the kit are kind of risky, if you select ur meter to measure current and accidently feed power or ground to the relay coil side which alway comes from the ecu, u could end up burning the ecu and u have a bad day.
so stay away the tester, not worth the risk because merphys law alway applies when working around cars, trust me,lol
