I've begun watching this series to gain on unstranding on schematics to aid me while I restore a 1960's philco strereo. Thank you for creating this series. It has been extremely helpful and easy to follow.
Wonderfully explained..not at all crying here but at 47. Years ole finding that the man who raised me till I was 14 or 15 just finding this is not my real pop soooo God bless you sir for sharing your wisdom !!!! You can't buy this that tour doing at Wal-Mart. You sir are making a difference. Be bless at giving your110% thanks David
I have been watching you for the past 2 yrs now. I fix car and only deal with mechanical side but lately i wanted to learn more and to become auto technician instead. With basic and simple teaching's like this you got me covered. Keep up the good work.
Hello sir, I've been watching all your videos they are all valuable. You enlightened all the question in my my mind as a technician. Although I am career mechanic with 53 years experience I learned a lot from you.keep up the good work may almighty god jehovah bless you.
This video was extremely helpful to me because, I am currently a marine electrician who have worked on submarines and navy surface ships. I also worked as a copy machine technician and a nuclear instrumentation technician - submarines. I am about to switch career over to automobile electrical diagnostics. I do understand how electrical and electronic circuits work however, there seem to be different symbols in the automotive industry, so that's the part i'm really concerned about. I do have some experience on electric vehicles (transit buses) so I feel confident that my past experience in electrical and electronic troubleshooting will transfer over to the automotive field. I will be working strictly on Mercedes models beginning in January therefore is trying to get up to speed with the different symbols and color codes used in automotive schematics. This video has been extremely helpful as I said before therefore I will most certainly check out your other videos.
Madness! I studied in Soviet Union electro-technical school. And now sure- that fundamental education was the best. To read el. diagram one must know: -elements,lines -divide diagram on (power circuits,signal mv-t, control circuits etc) - and last: to read montage scheme
Didn't understand the map of Missouri analogy at first, but continued to watch and that's the best point of view I have been shown👍👍 I wish I was taught like this at the beginning of my military career...I've always seemed to over think and complicate things
What a fantastic way of explaining. All the videos in this series make me understand things well. Thank you very much Sir for creating those and sharing.
Oh BTW. Love the new series on reading wiring diagrams. I agree with you. Seems like everybody I've trained or tried to train has a hard time with wiring diagrams.
Thank you I’ve been looking for this I’m trying to test to get into a paper mill and this on the test I didn’t do so well the first time awesome man it all makes sense now
Sharpie makes a nice 5 marker set in the respective colors. I can't wait until Duane tells us to go and purchase a PowerProbe! Great video and series!!
You are one of great instructor i have ever seen and thanks for this video dude. This #electrical diagram lesson is really easy to understand for the beginners.
I just passed my state certification in electricals for cars and light truck vehicles in the state of Michigan.The one thing that I had trouble with on the test, was diagrams.You are clearing up many unanswered problems that went wrong in my mind about diagrams.
Neon...this circuit does have a return. It is the green wire that he talks about. When the relay is energized (switch closed) the power is sent from the positive terminal and the electrons flow from the return through the load to the positive terminal of the power source. The only issue I have with this explanation is that there are no set standards for wire colors (it depends on the specifics of what the schematic is addressing (ie...automotive, circuit cards, computers etc...)) . The ground wire is usually black and not "green" in DC circuits. Positive is not always the color red. This explanation might give people a false sense of trying to identify voltages.
Very helpful. Thanks for posting. I've been trying to figure out my dishwasher circuit diagram for a week. It's been driving me crazy. Now I am able to figure some things out.
glad it helped. Keep in mind, all electrical diagrams are simply a map however sometimes different systems use different symbols (signs). Automotive and dishwasher may have different symbols but the all work electrically the same.
Thanks for the electrical videos your sharing. All those things are helpful to me to practice myself. My target is to find a job in Canada. I am an electrical engineer with 17 yeas work experience for nuclear power plant.I work for the design institute company. But I find i didn't have a very good ability to read and expresses in English in my professional field. Your videos are very helpful for me. ❤️
Excellent video. I have been to about a dozen videos on the topic of "electricity 101, and this one is the best. You make this so simple and easy to understand.
I have just finished looking at this video a couple more times. Most of this stuff is starting to sink in. I think I said this was the meat and potato's of auto electronics repair. Change that to the steak channel. Very good job Duane.
Uh, ground in an automotive diagram or wire harness is usually black or brown, almost never green. Otherwise a great explanation of how to read a diagram.
Thank you so much for this. I am actually so grateful that you have such an amazing way of teaching. I watched your video 3 times over to make sure I didn't miss anything.
@@realfixesrealfast Yes, sir! I'll be there. I'm using your videos to improve my electrical side, as my job role mainly focuses on mechanical engineering. I hope to be half as experienced as you some day.
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing. I think I am going to link to it from a video I am shooting. You do a much better job of explaining it than I would.
I just want you to know that you are the best teacher I have seen and I subscribed and I will watch all of you videos Thank you so much for the way you show me how to read a diagram It's way easier the way you show us and I hope you have a wonderful day today
You have a dead short to ground if the switch is closed to the fuel pump based on your theory. It should only be green from the ground up to the ground side of the fuel pump and NOT all the way to the normally open switch. That part from the switch to the fuel pump should be orange.
Thank you for publishing this, I've been interested in electrical synthesis or synthesizer engineering so this is very helpful in learning the inner workings of circuits inside many synthesizers.
Hello, I have an aircraft fuel shut off valve electrical problem I would like to ask you about. This is a 24 volt DC system. There is a master switch, and then a two position switch that either opens or closes the shut off valve. This system is on a board in a lab so it is relatively easy to get at all components. There are three wires attached to a connector on the shut off valve. These wires run back up to a terminal strip. I am going on the assumption that one wire is ground and that the other two wires or 24 V DC that one polariizes the motor in One Direction and the other one polerizes the motor in the opposite direction. The instructor has disabled the open function in some manner that will now only allow the valve to close but not reopen with the switch. Can you lend any advice as to how to go about troubleshooting what appears to be an open condition. Do you think the switch in this case is operating the ground to either side of the motor? I'm just having a tough time wrapping my head around this, any advice you could lend would be greatly appreciated.
Maybe you get to it later, but I sure wish I had an idea of what all the numbers & symbols mean on a diagram, especially when the manual doesn't offer a novice any idea what all this means, ie Diagram 1...A61 18, then A141 18 then numbers surrounding fuel pump module 1 motor symbol 8 then Z1 18. I could guess the number 18 is the wire gauge, but the other letter/number combinations. And yes, I intend to contribute to your channel. I"m just learning. Thanks!
People, to get the diagrams go to www.realfixesrealfast.com/lesson-2-diagram.html then cursor over "Training Videos" that will open a window where you will look for; "How to read an electrical diagram series" move the cursor over that, and it will show another window look for "Lesson 2" (the fourth option) click on that and when it open it will open a LINK to Print the diagram. print and continue with the video, Great class.

Thanks for the great video! I am curious about the small numbers next to the wires. Is that the wire size? I recognize splices, connectors and grounds along with many components but the numbers next to the wires. I have seen this in a Ford wiring diagram for a 1995 Ford F150 that I am working on looking for a short that keeps blowing the PCM fuse. Thanks again!
It was a great lesson and really easy to understand. This man has a really brilliant way of expressing theory
You're a great instructor. You sir, have the heart of a teacher.
Kind words from Keith!

I really enjoyed this and it was helpful. I showed this to a co worker and it helped get him on the same page as me while we were diagnosing an issue.
This is awesome I am a second year apprentice in Canada and having trouble with circuits and trying to wrap my head around it. Thanks for all the help
Very well done. This lines up very close to how I learned and now instruct to read diagrams.
What a fantastic way of explaining. All the videos in this series make me understand things well. Thank you very much Sir for creating those and sharing.

Whats the website, no the website?
Good info but, where is the website to download the diagrams?
