Arguably the best 12v wiring explanation out there. So many are over-complicated or vague. Even as someone who understands it quite well, it’ll was refreshing to watch. #teamrelay
Best video about 12v that I’ve ever watched. It’s inspired me to have a crack myself instead of paying someone else (I’ll start small). Thanks for all the amazing videos you’ve made this year. Cheers and Merry Christmas
This was without doubt the best 12v video I have ever seen 😎👍 thanks for putting this up for us 12v nubs 😁 have downloaded it for later use 😊 Keep well mate and have a GREAT CHRISTMAS 😉🍺
Oh nuts thanks dude I appreciate that! And yeah for sure I was hoping it could just be a resource for years to come, realistically there isn’t much else in a vehicle that isn’t understandable by something in this video 🔥🔥 merry Christmas!
2:05 if you go to the next setting to the right, and press the right-most button, it will give you a proper Continuity Tester mode that will beep when there's continuity. Much easier than trying to look at a screen when you're upside down under the dash trying to trace some wiring 🤣 Sometimes you'll still need to use the resistance reading if you're trying to find a dodgy wire that has high resistance but still enough continuity to trigger the tester, but for general fault finding, the continuity tester mode is much easier.
DUUUUUDE.. I was always wondering why some peoples beep and I just get a lousy reading hahaha. I thought there must have been like a sound setting I had to turn on. Thank you so much that’s made my day haha. But yeah I rarely need it for resistance just to test continuity thanks again dude appreciate that 👊🏻👊🏻
@@timmyhasheart Yep, easily the most used mode on my multimeter, I never knew why they hide it behind the diode tester on pretty much every multimeter.
@@KarlEller yeah bloody oath I never thought to go there because it had the diode sign on it, but yeah I just ran out and tried it on my multimeter and sure enough, if you hit the sound button you cop a beep with continuity!! You’re a legend dude thank you 👊🏻
Awesome 12v 101 vid mate, exactly what I needed! You clearly know what you're talking about and not just out to make click bait content like many others. Appreciate you man, subbed 🤘
One of the best 12v videos I've seen. More of this tech stuff would be great, you've got a knack for it. One thing I will add for those learning about earthing is that cable size is dependant on the full length of both positive and negative cables combined. So say the accessory is 2 meters from the battery, you would need to size the cable for a 4 meter run (2 meters positive/red to the accessory, 2 meters negative/black back to battery). However if you have a good body/chassis earthing point right near the accessory, you only need to size a 2 meter run of red cable. I used to assume running twin core for everything and always earthing back to battery was best, but for some accessories that can mean needing a big fat 16mm2 twin core (red and black) cable compared to say a 6mm2 single core (red only) cable. Both methods are appropriate and safe - but one is about 1/3rd the overall thickness, a lot cheaper and way easier to work with especially when dealing with firewall grommets etc. Just need to ensure good earthing straps which you have explained so articulately. Hope I have all of that correct. Cheers mate
Great information Tim, I am a 12V nuff nuff but that was explained in a way that anyone could understand. Thanks to Tyler Thompson for bringing me here.
Very well done. Provided alot of clarity for me being an electrical ignoramus! Thanks for all your awesome content Tim, looking forward to enjoying more in the New Year. Have a very Merry Christmas!
Haha no worries at all mate! Thanks for always stopping by to hang on the channel for a while, and more importantly thanks for leaving a comment every time! Appreciate your support mate 💪💪
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year mate. This is my go to channel to gain information. As usual, very informative and easy to understand. Thanks for all your hard work this year. 🔥🤛
Nice, simple and informative video, reminds me of my first Telecom class as a trainee tech! But seriously this stuff is important for all 4wdrivers to know. I had to rewire daughter's GU, previous owner a Land Planner clearly knew nothing about electrickery....spaghetti wires everywhere, some with bared ends too. Well done Timmy.
Yeah mate I had plenty of gremlins in mine too cause it was swapped from a TB to a TD very poorly haha. So I ironed out all the creases!! I’d only ever buy an unmodified one now! Thanks mate appreciate it 🔥🔥

Very detailed and informative mate, I teach automotive and think this is really bloody well done. Your best yet, 😊 Have a safe and happy xmas to you and family 🎉👍
Love your content mate, im an auto sparky new to tassy on the west coast so i check out your stuff before going to some of spots. Great video honestly would love to see you get into more detail, always wanted yo film alternator and drive rebuilds but couldnt ever get the delivery right so itd be awesome to see you do it in a way thats good to watch. Also theyres alot more you can do with relay circuits ie: latching relays, multiple triggers, use 30 as an input on a change over relay to heaps and heaps more.
Yeah nice!! Yeah relays are sick as, I am obviously no professional but even I know of a few more if I did a video just on relays it would never end haha. Never ever rebuilt alternators but I’ve done plenty of DC motors, whether it’s a starter, winch, heater fan etc etc
Awesome video mate. You say you don’t normally fuse your switch circuits and only light circuit. Generally what we do is we run a fused control circuit for all our switches and just loop in between switches. If there not connecting to and existing switch circuit from factory. Control switch circuits should still be protected.
Awesome video man, really indepth for free information 🤙 Going to be useful when i start wiring up my patrol with the 12v goods Everything was easy to understand and appreciate you breaking it down I'm probably the worst sparky to walk the earth but this was awesome.

I hate wiring not my favoured job,, time consuming to get a neat job somethings you just cant rush ,,,,,,super stoked the TJM pro air has very good harness pre wired with duel air lockers option,, was simple installation ,i did run thick 100amp 8bs cable as it pulls 45amps and its mounted under back seat , ,i did invest some coin on wire cutter crimping tools and crimping lugs back last year when i built my offgrid solar battery system for my shed , having the correct tools helps when wiring and good soldiering iron ,although i rather crimp then solder but sometimes you need to join a wire ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,marry Xmass mate happy new year ,
I have a 4.8 gu and I’m pretty fresh to the 4wd community so any info from channels like yours is appreciated. Big thanks to you Tim you seem like a real top bloke 💪
Oooft, na I’d still want to do the work I meant to do the filming and editing haha. But I’ve developed my little style and it would be hard to keep, but that’s alright I’m managing, just. 😴🫠😅
@@timmyhasheart yeah thats it mate its working so no point changing. Plus you have a good group of mates who give you a chop out. You might have to find a tinder date who likes 4bs and can film lol.
Tim - I have a redarc 2000w inverter, unmounted and a Landcruiser 100 series hdtfe twin battery. I don’t want it permanently mounted. I want to run cable from the auxiliary battery in the front of the Landcruiser to the rear of it in the tyre jack compartment to connect to the 2000w inverter. Can this be done without installing a battery in the back next to my inverter?
Yeah absolutely you can install anything anywhere it would just be a matter of knowing what it’s going to draw and running cable and fusing accordingly. I just checked the specs and it can draw up to 83a. So measure how far the distance is, my guess would be about 5m, so cable needs to be good for 83a at 5m and fuse would need to be as close to the battery as possibly with probably a 100a midi fuse or circuit breaker 👍🏻👍🏻
Yeah but it’s inverted to AC & there would be a transformer in there so that rule doesn’t really apply, so if you look at Redarc’s website it says the peak draw is 83a, so 5m at 83a will require probably around 50mm2 cable and a 100a fuse.
I have always wired the positive through the relay, not the negative. The way you have it the LED light is hot all the time. You did the switch the right way but the load is wrong. The relay should be hot, not the light, because typically the light is a long run of wire but the relay is close to the battery, under the bonnet, and fused via the vehicle's maxi fuse(s)
Appreciate that dude thank you, honestly I usually both switch and provide load in the positive side and then earth wherever is convenient because it also makes illuminating switches easier too and fusing and what not, but I just had black cables cut short and it was just most “visually pleasing” when videoing for entry level to make it as neat as possible without going into the unimportance of colour and what not. But I do understand you and you’ve taught me something so thank you 🙏🏻
Timmy, you shouldn't feel you need to explain why you are just talking to the camera, all your content is Gold no matter how you are presenting it. Safe holidays mate.
Yeah I know but just take it as me wanting to give back the crazy support you guys have given me in effort. Dead set the amount of you guys that tune in and watch each fortnight in such a short amount of time makes me want to be at the top of my game at all times, appreciate you dude have a safe Chrissy and new year!
Great vid apart from the Body/Chassis earth. A fair few modern 4wds, especially Navara have a very poor chassis earth. Only the engine/trans and body are earthed.
Oh true?? Yeah right I’ve only worked on a couple of navaras up to 2013, but they both had chassis earths, I’ve never known a car not to, but that’s good to know cheers mate thanks for watching 🤙🏻
i dont get why people keep refering to negative connections as earths. Earth is a protection system that under normal conditions shouldn't be carrying any current. Negative connections are the return paths for the current, to complete the circuit
I reckon by sheer virtue of the fact you referred to exactly what I was talking about that you still knew exactly what was meant and you might just be splitting hairs, calm down, everyone’s alive and I’m just here to spread a bit of info, have an awesome safe Chrissy 🤙🏻🤙🏻
oh im not picking a fight, just wanted to know why ? watched 4wd247 video few days ago and they did the same thing. I've always refered to it a negative or ground.
Go the Patrol! good to see ! This is really good ! I liked building my own with jaycar components. but best to start with a plan first. as my circuit board got way outta capacity once i started adding things 🛻😎🤙📹
Jaycar is dead set one of my favourite shops I could muck around in there for hours I reckon haha. And yeah you’re absolutely right, best to oversize everything so you have room to add things down the track! Thanks for always stopping by and watching mate 👊🏻👊🏻

Because it's a 12V system, you're referring to a 240V system.
oh im not picking a fight, just wanted to know why ? watched 4wd247 video few days ago and they did the same thing. I've always refered to it a negative or ground.
@@psy06 she’ll be right everyone knows what’s goin on 😅 I’m no sparky just a backyard boss
Go the Patrol! good to see ! This is really good ! I liked building my own with jaycar components. but best to start with a plan first. as my circuit board got way outta capacity once i started adding things 🛻😎🤙📹
Jaycar is dead set one of my favourite shops I could muck around in there for hours I reckon haha. And yeah you’re absolutely right, best to oversize everything so you have room to add things down the track! Thanks for always stopping by and watching mate 👊🏻👊🏻
