    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.

    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.

The examples, visuals, verbiage and most importantly the cadence and pace you are exemplifying is gratifying to say the least! I hope you are a teacher in a everyday capacity, the next generation and the world would be a better place if so.
    If you haven't heard of a site called Kahn Academy I would hope that you would look at it and consider submitting your tutorials for additional distribution, saying that with out knowledge of their monetary model for content providers, it is free for all though.

    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!

    Trying to learn more about electronic appliances.
    What does an impending circle on a diagram represent?
    I know the solid ones mean a connection, right?
    Going back to basics as I am running into more and more kitchen and laundry appliances with the electronic boards with relays, capacitors, resisters and do on.
    In today’s world, there are so many things that can be fixed expensively, if these things are understood.
    Thanks I will be checking your videos out.

    • @realfixesrealfast
      @realfixesrealfast  5 лет назад

      what do you mean by "impending" circle ? We don't use that particular terminolog in auto electronics, but I'm sure we can figure it out. Electronics is electronics no mater what we are working on.

    • @rickeykeeton71
      @rickeykeeton71 5 лет назад

      realfixesrealfast sorry, that should read empty or clear circle.
      Since I asked that, I think I understand it to be a connection or where it intersects a circuit such as a terminal connect/ plug?
      What is throwing me off is my schematic shows the thermistor connection going to a circle such as this, but their no plug or terminal at the circle. Does it indicate a parallel connection?

    Duane , one correction in ur wiring diagram to get it synchronized with Jorge Menchu article. The wire after the switch from fuel pump relay to fuel pump module should be yellow because it will be power when circuit is complete and provide indirect path to the ground when the relay switch is open. Just my 2 cents..

    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.
