Dang man, the way you composed this video, superb! Clear and flowing narration, good steady camera work, no filler or hiccups, cheers to you dude! Other you tubers take note. Thank you, this helped great job!
One of the best youtube videos I’ve seen. The presentation is intelligent and the audience is treated that way. I’ve referenced this several times putting a remote kill switch on my truck. It took several reviews cause I’m not that smart. Thumbs up!
man! great video!! my starter is intermittently doing this clicking thing as if the battery is low, but i have a new battery... so before i go throwing money at a new starter or alternator im gonna check this starter relay... thanks so much for such a well done video... subscribing right now!
Youre 1 of the best ive seen...jyst the way youve labeled stuff...relay terminals are color coded....and your explainatiins are dead on I hace a no crank no start ussue on 2000 sierra....now i know exactly how to get her going regardless of its issues
After checking everything on my plow truck....It was either the Starter...or the safety switch,thank God it was the switch....it's 18° and a foot of snow...did not want to change the starter today...THANKS
My problem is when I turn the key to the ON position, the starter engages (without turning key to the start position)...like there's a short somewhere. I have to turn key back to ACC to get it to stop. Funny thing is it only does it when cold. Once engine runs for a few minutes, I can shut it off and it will restart normally. After it sits for a bit, it acts up again. Any ideas?
If i wanted to bypass the ignition would i be able to put a wire in where the ignition relay goes and wire it to a switch or would i need some more connection points in-between Im a little slow and color blind with a few colors so wiring to me is a new path 🙂 very detailed and helpful though
Your video it's really cool. I replaced yesterday the starter and before I changed the starter turning on the key I got all dash lighting right so replacing the starter I did good. Next day I drove a mile going at gas station I turned off the car after 2 minutes I turned the key on and no power at all no dash no cranking like the car doesn't have battery. I checked the fuses they are ok. What can be the ignition switch? Or what? I'm lost. Please answer me as you can. Thank you
Will It have any affect to my computer if I install a push start switch directtly form the two relays connection. I did put the ignition key on start position and started easily without the relay, went for a drive and everything seems to run well.Tanx for this very explicite video.
What happens if I touch the red to the white with the Ignition on? And the truck starts. But that's the only way I can get the truck to start. It's not responding to the Ignition being turned on to start.
So I had a key made at Walmart just to be a door key… well it turns out that somehow it started my truck so I have been using that key for a week now w/o any problems. Today i locked my keys in my ignition and had to slim Jim in and push unlock button to gain access inside. After doing so I got in and my truck wouldn’t start. Just acts as if the starter don’t work but I know its fine. The security light is flashing now as well. If I run direct power to the 10 amp fuse inside it don’t try to start either. Just a ding from Interior. But if I run power to a spot where the relay goes it cranks but sounds real weird and don’t actually start up. Lots of info I know but I’m at a loss and stuck in some parking lot. Anyone with any ideas on this weird situation help me out? Already did the 3x10 min off/on deal to reset security but did t work. HELPPPP plz.
I turn my truck on like that. that’s the only way it starts what would b the cause of it what shall I do next I even put new relay n still have to wire it like that
I want to install a kill switch due to recent Chevy Silverado thefts in my area. I'd like to put the kill switch off the starter & not fuel pump due to safety reasons. Which pin do u recommend I cut my kill switch into?
My deal is that it cranks in the morning but after the engine gets hot it doesn’t crank, only the lights on the dash come on. But it will start if I turn the key to the start position and jump it the way you showed in the video.
Thanks for the video. My truck was stolen and the cylinder lock was broken so I replaced it. I can't to the relearn because I only get a solid battery light on the message dash.. I did the jumper directly to the Starter and nothing but at the Starter rely I have power at all fuses you indicated. What am I missing. I have no crank no start. Thanks
thank you for this very informative video. really straight to the point. however i having an issue with my truck. i am not getting power to the yellow slot as depicted on the relay box in this video. i tried jumping the starter relay with a piece of wire. the truck will crank over but will not start. any idea or opions? thanks
Great video! I was able to diagnose and replace my ignition switch off of this! But I am still getting crank but it isn’t staying on! Any ideas of what might still be going on? Thank you!
Great video!! All fuses are good. I switched starter relay with a known good starter relay nothing happens.Took a starter relay out of a different truck that works fine. I get constant 12 volts at red and yellow pins. Constant ground at green pin. I get 12 volts at white when key is in the start position. Relay does not energize. What should I look for next.
2004 Escalade I need serious help with a parasitic draw! Car cranks and runs great! Purchased a volt meter and I am seeing a193 mA draw. 108 mA is coming from the 40A IGN A fuse. That is supposed to be the ignition switch. I replaced the switch and it didn’t help at all. mA is the same. Any idea what else could be associated with this fuse? Would the relay being stuck cause this draw? Also my EVAC/ECAS 10A fuse is pulling 85 mA. When I pull both it gets my parasitic draw to 25 mA which is normal. Your expertise would be very much appreciated! So frustrated!!!!
Replace the cam and crank sensors and replace ignition safety switch is new also but no start now I'm most likely will it be the computer cuz I got no power going to the two wires to the harness on each side going to the coils
Enjoy your videos! Don’t know if you can help, but I have a 2002 Silverado with a parasitic draw. I isolated to the “IGN B” fuse under the hood. Draw fluctuates from 60-90 mA. I remove fuse and draw drops to steady 30 mA. I have pulled every fuse and relay under hood and on left side of dash. Also unplugged all 3 connectors from BCM and no change. Draw only drops when I remove IGN B fuse. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
@@LehewTech Yes. I have both aftermarket radio and alarm system. I can try to kill power to radio. Not sure where alarm system is powered from. I’ll try and figure out. Thanks.
I have a 1999 chevy suburban ....i charged the battery....clicking noise its the starter relay i think ....i must change that i guess .....then hope thats the problem ....ok
@@envisionautomotive502 yes i had just got my tranny rebuilt so I checked and the purple wire that connects to the starter had a short, it was touching the bell housing, I put heat shrink on it and protected it the best I could and I have not had the problem since
I'm gonna bypass all that junk , hot wire directly to the selinoids small wire , just touch it to something hot in the truck it starts , I don't need all that junk they put on it at the factory
