@@daveandsonyainmichigan Thank you sir. I never solder before. And you are my first teacher on soldering. I hope you know how thankful i am for your video.
Thanks for making this excellent video, I have recently purchased this male plug and I wanted to check how to wire it, now thanks to you I know how to do it.
@daveandsonyainmichigan Understood. I've had hens before. Never roosters. I'd go nuts! I'm a city boy who loves animals. I never imagined chickens could be affectionate. They kept getting out of their pens. They'd fly up and roost in the trees at night and they'd get out and roam the neighborhood. (I know I sound very irresponsible as an owner, but I was learning. I always thought chickens couldn't fly!) But every time I'd come home from work, they would rush home and run over to me and jump on my lap. All animals are amazing.
The problem I’m having with a heavy duty plug I bought for my eco flow is the Center pin is so strong it’s actualy backing itself out my socket and loosing contact
@@daveandsonyainmichigan it’s a brand new plug with 14awg wires, fires my diesel heater up perfectly fine I just noticed it creeps out ever so slightly. It seems it’s the center pin spring is too strong. My only worry is it coming out and loosing connection. I’m sure I can rig up something to keep it held in or wedge some card in there or something
@justadddirt my cigarette lighter plug was doing the same thing when I plugged it into my Bluetti. When I spread the side blades outward, it was a little tougher to insert and resisted getting pushed out by the strong center pin.
Hello thnkyou for making this video. i changed the plug of my tire inflator. Its 12 v. I put a 20 amp fuse in my plug but there is another fuse on the cable for 15 amps. It was the same fuse before i changed it too but it keeps going out almost instantly i turn on the machine.
@daveandsonyainmichigan first of all thankyou so much for replying. The previous one was broken but worked it If i just push it in. The difference was it was an 18 awg wire and a powerful 12v air compressor. First time the fuse in the plug blew as it comes with 5 amps. I put a 20 amp as I have another fuse on the line before it goes in to the compressor. It is a 15 amp automotive fuse. When I plugged it there were lights on the compressor but it blew as soon as I turned on the motor.
It could blow the fuse, it could burn up your device. It could make a motor in your device run backwards. It may just not work. And it may just work fine! A heating device would not care which way it was wired, it would still heat. An LED light in the heating device may not light. A water pump or air pump probably would still run (backwards) but would pump. Electronic devices depend on how well they were designed. They could burn up, not work until you correct the polarity or work just fine with either polairty!
That is a very good question. There is a few ways and, in some cases, you can't tell. 1) The easiest is to pay attention to the way you removed the wires. Take a picture before removing the old wires. 2) Let's say the wire is cut. Hopefully there is a small piece of the colored insulation still on the wire. 3) Maybe on the remaining piece of wire, there is not insulation, or the insulation is the same color. Then if you are lucky the remaining wire is different lengths. Compare the lengths to determine which wire is which. 4) The Red or (+) positive wire will be soldered to the center pin (pin with the spring). 5) If all these fail, you may get lucky and have a connector on the other end of the wire identified as Positive (+) or Negative (-). There may be a small pictorial view showing (+) or (-), then you can use Voltmeter and check for continuity to trace the wire thru the connector. 6) You may need to open the device and see if the circuit board is labeled. 7) Some wires will be labeled a white strip or ribbing formed in the insulation. The manufacturer of that item would have all those identified the same polarity. But I can't say that there is a standard to which is which. So, I will refrain from saying which wire is which. 8) Sometimes you need to quess. You have a 50% chance to get it right. For the few times I guessed and got it wrong, then swapped the wires, I have never burnt anything up! I can't say you would be a lucky as myself.
@reymorales6936 this is probably fixable! Generally heat is a poor connection or higher current / small wires. If it's a loose connection, that's where all the heat will be generated. If it's high current or small wires, you generally can feel heat along the entire wire. If it is high current or small wire the result will still be melted at a connection. What is the cigarette lighter plug powering?
@daveandsonyainmichigan i have a electric cooler in my car 12v in my Tractor when I travel to Chicago it should be 12. After to months of use gets hot melts and I end up buying new plug and connecting wires sometimes I soder and sometimes not same results
My guess would be that the solder job is not a very good solder. That may be why soldering and not soldering get the same results. Try a Philmore 48-521 connector. No soldering required!
@@daveandsonyainmichigan The male end plug plastic cover broke off. It looks untidy, but with plastic tape fixed allows it to work. Other than replacing the male end is there another way?
@WeRise445 if you are lucky and can find the exact same plug, you can change just the broken piece. If there is still enough structural support with the tape applied, leave it alone and call it good!
Thank you! Some people may prefer to use screw terminals and some may choose to solder. Do you have a name and part # of a screw terminal cigarette plug that you like to use?
Hello, at 5:25 time stamp, I explain the fuse ratings. The fuse rating is the amp listed on the fuse that the fuse will blow at to protect your item from burning up.

Watched this after I fixed my tire inflator plug, but glad to know that I did it right. Your video was a very helpful QC check.
Good Job!
@@daveandsonyainmichigan thanks I felt very accomplished 😅
@MemphisJones I always think it's so cool to be able to fix stuff and not have to spend money replacing it!
@@daveandsonyainmichigan same! The parts are usually much less than the product
@@daveandsonyainmichigan Thank you sir.
I never solder before.
And you are my first teacher on soldering.
I hope you know how thankful i am for your video.
Nice. Very clear to understand.
Glad to hear that!
Brilliant ... !!!
Thanks!
Nice vid ! Thanks it helps me alot !👍🤘

@dallasleech5374 that's so cool! That's exactly the reason for the video!
Oh my God, the rooster! It drove me nuts just watching the video. I guess this guy is immune!
@@natnat1975 LOL. I tried to tell him to be quiet, I was filming! He wouldn't listen!

Thanks! That all gave me a good laugh. Just this morning I had a turkey do this to me facebook.com/share/p/17tb4bSYnh/
10:04 This is the part I needed originally to know how to reassemble 👏
But I learned a little more, thanks😊
YOU are welcome : )

How do I know what amp the fuse is when it isn’t marked?
The fuses have numbers on the metal ends, the amperage is in these numbers. Sometimes, it's not so obvious.
@@daveandsonyainmichigan🙏🤍

Sometimes you can bend / pry the side tabs outwards to have a better grip in the socket.

Hello thnkyou for making this video.

I put a 20 amp fuse in my plug but there is another fuse on the cable for 15 amps.
It was the same fuse before i changed it too but it keeps going out almost instantly i turn on the machine.
Do both fuses blow? Was the plug end bad before you changed it, or were you just trying to change the end to see if it helped out?

What happens if you accidentally reverse the wires and plug it into your cigarette lighter in your car? Will it only blow the fuse in your car?
It could blow the fuse, it could burn up your device. It could make a motor in your device run backwards. It may just not work. And it may just work fine! A heating device would not care which way it was wired, it would still heat. An LED light in the heating device may not light.

There are only two wires. How do we know which goes with which?

which color is + end which one is -?
Brown is positive and it get soldered to the center post.
Bro where you buy this plug and how it's cost??
@@yashaswani3037 I have links in the video description.
My problem is it works for 2 months then it gets hot and it melts stops working

As this is a good solution, I am in the meantime looking for a practical makeshift fix.

That's hard and expensive. Use a screw on terminal plug.
Thank you! Some people may prefer to use screw terminals and some may choose to solder. Do you have a name and part # of a screw terminal cigarette plug that you like to use?
