The best thing about these kinds of videos are it’s reassuring to the rest of us when we are struggling with hurdles that we aren’t failures, everyone has these types of struggles. When all you see is videos of techs figuring things out instantly and case studies where some guy flew in and figured out a problem a shop spent a ton of time on it sets the expectation that we should be able to as well every time.

@jroman23 2 месяца назад

The black connector belong to the Parking Light circuit. The Green Connector is for the Low/High beam circuit. That’s why it the voltage didn’t change when switching between Low/Hight beam. When you put the test light from ground to the pin 3, on that black connector, it flicker because that one belong to the left turn signal. Both, Green & Black have similar wire colors, that’s why the confusion. If you go to the External Light Circuit you’ll see the black connector belong to the Park/Signal Circuit with similar (not same) wire colors. God bless you…

@jeffhesse8415 2 месяца назад

Great video, Paul! No apologies needed for not having the right wiring diagram. That's a reality check. Sometimes, we spend more time trying to find correct information than it does to actually diagnose the problem. That's where proper training and understanding the circuits helps when you can't find the information you need.

@dharley189 2 месяца назад

Paul , I’ve watched enough of your videos to know that you know what you’re doing. Poor description of computer controlled operation and incorrect system diagrams can sure lead you down a dark road. Sometimes comparing with a known good unit is only way to avoid being a parts changer. You have the patience of a saint.

@happygarage6310 2 месяца назад

Years ago a Toyota Sienna taught me why an LED, or HID, will cause DTCS in a module. Many of these module controlled circuits will detect the ground through the incandescent bulb. When a diode is put in place, the module can't detect that ground, therefore setting a DTC. I had rke operation problems on my personal car because a previous owner put an LED, in the dome lamp, apparently the BCM needed to have a ground path through the dome lamp in order to know when the doors were closed and allow the fob to lock the car.

@SeanBZA 2 месяца назад

Which is why a lot of the LED lamp assemblies have a resistor in them to allow that current to flow, allowing the BCM to detect the circuit is complete, and not set the code.

The last video about the aftermarket crank sensor was a gem. And guess what? All his old videos help us thru almost any problem we have.

My own curiosity I had to look up the wiring diagrams. The 2012 Ram showed me the diagram you had. The 2013 Ram offered a different one… A ST or SLT has two connectors for each headlight. A C1 and C2. C2 has the ground on the end and controls parking light and turn signal. C1 has the ground in the middle and has the Hi/Lo functions. It goes to show that Chrysler wiring is so bad even their wiring diagrams are bad. 😆

@sumduma55 2 месяца назад

@@Scofflaw_k10to be fair, the Ram pickups went through a refresh between 2012 and 2013 model years. I've seen this in the past with Ford trucks (1995 f250 to be specific) where it appears they started the transition late mid year without good documentation. It is almost as if the factory ran low on old style parts and someone decided to use the new versions instead of putting in an order for the old and having waste at the end of the production cycle. Of course that is just my conjecture as to why but it does seem to be common for undocumented mismatches across manufacturers when changes like these are expected.

@SchrodingersBox 2 месяца назад

Oh man this was Deja Vu- about a year ago I ran into this exact situation with an HID high and low beam failure despite new bulbs right down to testing the other side to try and figure out the system and determining the wire diagram was misleading. Ultimately since I had both headlight assemblies out I just swapped them and found the microprocessor in the one assembly was bad- not serviceable so had to replace entire assembly. Wasn’t really satisfied that I couldn’t diagnose it in a more technical way but it was a total learning experience for sure.

I am an aftermarket installer for stuff like this and when I get something like this in not working I ALWAYS touch EVERYTHING that has been touched before messing with diagrams and circuits etc. Retrace their steps. Never assume the last guy/gal knew what they were doing. Aftermarket connectors are notorious for being poorly made. I have plugged in a set of similar lights and then changed back and had connection issues because the aftermarket plug spread the terminals!

I added LED bulbs to a 2006 Ram and they would light up for a few minutes and then go out. The computer didn't like the load the led's were pulling so some burden resistors had to be added to trick the computer that the old incandescent bulbs were still in there. I though it was going to be something like that when I saw this. Nice Job

@SeanBZA 2 месяца назад

The HID option I would say turns off the PWM of the lamps, and also turns off the bulb failure detection as well, as the module no longer will be able to detect failed lamps based on the presence voltage, and instead will have to rely on current sense instead.

I killed a bunch of time on a '17 Porsche Cayenne that the dealer gave up on, last week, with no lights on the left headlights. There is only one diagram in Alldata, which lists the specific fuses for each lamp, and the owner's manual shows those same fuses. There are NO fuses in the car for either side, and no wires for them in the fusebox. Unreal! '16 and '18 diagrams are identical.... Went to the headlamp to test power, and found the harness plug to the lamp broken and someone had plugged it in backwards. Oops! Plugging it in correctly fixed all the lights on the lamp except the low beam, which needed a Xenon bulb driver. Darn those wiring connectors!

@nathanbeach3399 2 месяца назад

@rfrbz1269 2 месяца назад

14:14 At this point I would have front probed with an h11 bulb and seen what happens, but to be fair I have uTest kit. 24:00 pin fit / burnt connectors are 90% of all headlight failures I see that are not bulb failures. Tightening pin fit rarely works long term since after market headlights get so much hotter and draw more current

Dear Mr. Paul & All People, I heard somewhere else that the computer are precicely calibrated to certain resistances or amp. draw when it comes to external lighting so that any aftermarket lamp other than stock will trigger DTC. My opinion is that auto computer systems purpose should only control emissions as it was initially intended, without interfering with everything else. I guess manufacturers control policies do not want to allow owners the freedom to benefit aftermarket or customise their own cars. This excessive control, domination and snooping as well which makes lots of people refrains from buying new cars. Take Care you All.

@sumduma55 2 месяца назад

The "snooping and control" I agree with. But computer control in general is a net good for the consumers. Take pulse width modulation lights for instance, it allows a brighter light and the ability to change the beam width when needed without blinding oncoming traffic as they can self adjust according to ambient light. Other features like single press window functions or various ADAS functions wouldn't be possible without computerized systems- or a huge weight and bulk issue from analog systems. The problem as I see it is the lack of adequate documentation being openly available and access to the tools neccesary for regular people.

@johnkaplanian 2 месяца назад

@@sumduma55You are right my Friend, but over complicating things everywhere on common people's cars (not high marque) vehicles which raises repair costs, time and prevent common People from making simple tasks at weekends to their cars Loool. One worse thing on some models that changing a battery will probably hault a vehicle and require a certain programing (a sort of organ transplant adaptation) to be done on specific equipment or programs with paid subscriptions. From Broader perspective, the scenario is part monopoly with s series of loots from end user and repair technicians. Maybe 2 years ago I saw at "Advanced Level Auto Diagnostic" Channel on U Tube a common failure of Fuel pump control module on Ford F150, the module is somehow bulky steel wrapped bigger than ECM placed beside the fuel tank which contains a complex electronic card inside, and since these cars have CAN Bus, I came to assume that maybe a manufacturer have an underground (darkweb) hackers whereas after a certain years / miles they can send a scrip to such a complex fuel pump module to put to death its operation. Not only that, but programming that module need a specific paid program where the technician log in to Ford only to be able to make the programming, i.e. playing in Ford's yard inside their fences only Looool. Nice Talking to you. Take Care.

I use cheap ones, since I’ve only been working on old cars (2000s) but I already feel confident enough to take a big step and start working on new models, so what actually worries me the most are the next things: topology and VATS (including key repros) hope you can help me with this, I really love working in this area of the automotive repair industry, but I think it’s starting to get way more complex working on new models than it used to be without good equipment.

Sir please reply... this question is very very confusing... I have 2 identical 12V DC 7.5Ah batteries say X and Y. One side of a normal bulb is connected to postive terminal of X battery, and another side of the bulb is connected to the negative terminal of the Y battery. The negative terminal of X battery and the positive terminal of Y battery are not connected to anything. So, in this case, I want to know whether there will be a current flow to the bulb, and whether the bulb will glow??? Give reasons if bulb will glow, and reasons why bulb will not glow. Thanks in advance.

First, this is a hypothetical of what real world condition? Second, in theory, nothing will happen (no current flow) as it is an open circuit, but is there some sort of equalization that happens first? Connecting batteries this way, you'll now have 24v, so does the bulb glow during this "equalization" process (probably the wrong word I'm using here)

With all this new technology that vehicles have, why do people want to add aftermarket stuff like this? Yeah, i guess there are those who want to have a different "look". I think auto lighting systems today provide enough light. You are only asking for trouble. Unless the aftermarket supplies components that cause no problems with the onboard computer and modules setting codes, i would be staying original. As SD stated, those codes will remain there.

seems like you were looking at the wrong 3pin connector to start with, the other was likely the turn/marker lights with a constant battery feed and pull down ground controls. didn't look at a diagram, nor ever worked on one, but it sure seems like a "sler" product thing. 🤣
