I purchased a Toyota IQ 2009 push start button last year it was good and all ( its a used car) but i didnt drive it for a little while and now that i'm ready to drive it, its not starting..... Couldnt be the battery because i purchased a new one when i got the car, i just replaced the gas pump and there's petrol in it....... When i push the button to start it stuff shows up on the dashboard but when i try to start the car its making a clicking sound repeatedly then its like its dead again. What could be the issue??
You just saved me some money. I was planning on checking fuses and relays today. I watched your video, went out pull the relay, gave it a shake and heard that sweet rattling sound. 10 minute slater I got it for under 10 bucks and now the air is PUMPING!!!! I didn't even get my hands dirty. Thank you!
Finally, One of the few on YOU TUBE that is really good at what they do, really good job, way to make it REALLY EASY to understand and do, ROCK STAR, HOMIE
Hektor, this explanation and demonstration is the best I've seen. You've outdone the engineers' and doctorate professors' lessons. You have a gift of simplifying technical operations for the average Joe. Thanks for helping me pass my test!! Mak'n Latinos Look Good!! Keep up the great work!! I'm subscribed now!! Thanks!!
Hello, I am the self proclaimed "Queen of mechanical failures". Whatever I'm driving, it breaks down! It doesn't matter if it's mine or someone else's,old or new! So that being said, I've been forced to work on my own vehicles for years now . I love your videos especially about relays! It's so informative and easy-to-follow and I appreciate that!
Great video for an electrician, too. I thought 13 minutes might be a bit much, but the education was actually straight forward, and to the point. THANKS 😊
I’ve been an industry mechanic for celebrities for 324 years. I just want to say that this is a well structured video with clear steps and information for a novice viewer. Thank you for your amazing work. AlluhAkbar
Thank you for explaining precisely and concisely how to check a relay. Most things are simple if explained in a simple way, and you have eliminated the mystery. Many videos I've seen about this subject are confusing. Also thank you for not elaborating on non-essential talk.
Thank you Homie! You helped me to fix my 2001 F150 today with this video. I only spent $16 for a relay and it fixed my problem because I watched this video. Keep it up!
This video answers so many questions for me. Not only how to properly test a relay, but also a great explanation and visual of what actually happens inside a relay. Thanks Hektor!
Thanks for the lesson, Homie Hektor. I was troubleshooting the blower fan on my 2005 GMC canyon four-door truck and wondered how to test a relay. It turned out to be the multiple ground module on the front passenger fender, beside the air cleaner, but now, I know how to test a relay! Cool.
I hate bad videos full of unrelated information and bad editing and lousy camera work, so I really like yours! I'm just trying to be an informed car owner and sometimes do easy things for myself. you tube is a big help, but I can spend a few hours trying to get a few minutes worth of education and then, it isn't memorable. So I am subscribing to your channel.
Thank you it was worth my time and worth my time to share it to a Facebook group Lincoln enthusiasts and Lincoln owners. I will subscribe and I will watch videos upon any topics you wish to present. Thank You ' Sensei '🛐
Thank You Homie, I Learned about Relays in 13 minutes, Right to the Point and You Made this So Easy To Understand ... Also Thanks For NOT Turning a Video Into a Clown Show ...
Just tested 2 relays but used a Duracell 9v battery as power across 85 and 86 then tester between 30 and 87 heard the clicks for power and the beep on meter , top man both relays working , great explanation ty.
I’m trying to get an old forwarder to start and operate that’s been staying on the field for 15 years. With 20 relays that need to be tested, this video was very helpful.
Great video. You explained the bench testing so quickly and clearly. My first electrical tech teacher took over 3 hours of lecture time and still have the class didnt get it. LOL
Hector, thank you for the refreshing change. Most automotive repair videos are PAINFUL to watch. They can't communicate, can't record video, and can't pronounce the parts they're talking about. I sure hope you're making some bank from these videos because you're not only intelligent, but also talking to you're audience like you recognize their intelligence, too. You're a rare breed..keep it up!
the way I tested prior to seeing these videos: opened cover, inspected for burns or broken coils, used dmm on continuity mode to test connection points. I used a 12vdc 1.5amp appliance power adapter afterwards. thank you!
You should always test the 30- 87 or 87a connection for Resistance. You can measure voltage or use a test light and that connection might look okay but still have burned or corroded contacts which will give you a Voltage drop/higher than normal Resistance which could prevent enough current from flowing to the Load. Your Resistance measurement should show NO resistance. There should be NO Voltage drop across those contacts. Otherwise you did a very good job producing this Video on this subject.
I congratulate you and encourage you to do more of this type of video for electrical systems. Most of the time you do not find information regarding the fuse box and how to troubleshoot relays and car front beams. this is one of a kind video that I have watched twice. Thanks for teaching us how to troubleshoot relays.
Homie hector, your the man. This is the best relay tutorial. I just subscribed and cant wait to see your other videos. Thanks for taking the time to make this
While I know I should watch the video then comment... If you set your meter to min/Max (rec., Etc. Whatever it says) a good relay will have a very low voltage spike where as a faulty relay can exceed 600+ Vdc. Plz keep the awesome vids coming! Finally an electrical genius that I can understand.
Dude!!! You absolutely put on a fuel pump relay clinic WoW, excellent! I'm gonna steal some of your explanation for my next video on how to test a relay, not all of it, but some, Good JOB! And thanks for posting.

I enjoy your teaching you're the real deal just keep doing what you're doing One thing to remember don't justify yourself to no man thanks again for showing how to diagnose a relay. Good job sir
WOW fantastic demonstration about a relay and how it works! For a guy who doesnt really understand electronics and volt meters your did a GREAT job making things clear. I now know how to test these on my cars. Muchas Gracious :)
@Marc Xero Your are right theory and practice are equally important, this tutorial however was about how to test a relay not the science behind electromagnetism, coils, magnetic fields, etc.
Hey man I've watched alot of videos on here and owe alot of what I know to a good portion of them. I have shared your video with so many people. Thank you man!

This is late but may help someone else reading. Use a 12volt DC direct current as ure source & you should be good. Jump start pack or a supply unit that allows for power to be switched from 69,12,24 to give adequate voltage.
Hektor, thank you so much. You didn’t try to trick us or bog this video down with fluff. I upgraded my HPFP and am getting a low fuel on startup check engine light. The fuse is good but I don’t know if the pump is priming on ignition like it should. My next step is to test the relays. Thank you for this lesson-
Relay switches were intimidating to me up until I watched this video. Thank you so much,, I now have a better understanding of what a relay switches is for & how it works - God Bless...
One of the most common faults with relays is burnt contacts. Resistance checks don't work . A voltage test across the contacts under load is the test to use
1magnit I have a silly question. How can you put a “load” on a relay that doesn’t work? If the contacts are bad or weak won’t they drop out because of the initial inrush or load? Just a couple of honest questions.
A relay has 2 main parts, the coil and the contacts. You need to be more specific on what doesn't work? A open circuit coil? or contacts that don't "make" A coil doesn't have an inrush current. The load that's switched by the contacts might or might nor, depends on the type of load.
Some relays have a diode in parallel with the coil, hence the direction of connection on these will be important. There are also some relays where pins 30 and 86 are reversed. If you mix up these 2 types (they plug into the same housing) then you land up with some odd effects!
I thought I left a comment already for you. Well I tried the relay test it worked so I am giving you your props and have my little homie figurine by my side to represent you. Thank you for posting it's much appreciated. Two homie thumbs up

When you test 30 and 87 for resistance should you have power to 85 and 86 or just test the resistance to 30 and 87?
