I would rather buy the tool you hook up to the negative battery terminal ? And it has slots to insert the relay and it will tell you if it's good or bad .

Power Probe can be use here? At least you dont have to drag a 12 volt lead battery( that motion, removing the battery from an ackward deep angle is responsible for many a mechanics' damaged back discs ). But i am glad for test procedure.

question? I used a test light on the ports #86 for the starter relay. I used the clip on the positive terminal to see if #86 lights up and it did. it shouldn't light up correct???

You should not touch meter lead probes with your bare hands as skin has resistance on its own.

You likely also have an audible (beeping) continuity setting on your multimeter. That might be more suitable when just confirming open and closed.

Thank you good Sir. The AC compressor clutch in my wife's vehicle decided to no longer engage on (ironically) the hottest day of the year thus far. I watched videos on jumping the connections in the fuse box which looked too risky for me. Diagnosing the state of the relay is the proper way to go. My relay proved to be in an open state. I drove to my local Subaru dealer this morning and purchased a new relay for $8. Got home, popped it in, started the car, and voila! AC is working again. Thanks again.

If you have a Toyota consider keeping a spare A/C relay in your car, it can save time and aggravation when your A/C suddenly fails in hot weather. It doesn't always fix Toyota A/C but it is a good shot when it abruptly fails.

Putting your index fingers on each test probe metal tips will give you an incorrect resistance reading! reading. Doing this provides a parallel path through your body: Kirchoff and Ohms Laws, blah, blah, blah.

You should not touch the metal probes with your fingers when taking your readings. Touching the probes gives continuity and ohm readings to the probes through your body Try that with a/c power. U wont do it again.

Hey: Does anyone have an idea why my axillaries are not working? I recharged a recently new battery (96w)over night and placed it back in the van(Peugeot Partner DW8 2004), but now my horn/Digi clock/courtesy light/indicators/high beam and wash/wipers don't work! When I switch on my ignition my side lights come on and when I switch the engine on my main beam lights come on with the light switch off! So my lights are staying on all the time as long as the ignition switch is on and I cannot switch them off at the switch. When I switch the engine off and remove the keys the lights go off. The remote locking/alarm system also works. I have checked all the small fuses and none of them have blown. I haven't checked any relays as coming from this video yet. This is so strange and all I did was recharge my battery and put it back in again. Could it be an open circuit caused by possible power surge on the relay that controls them damaging it, or could it be something else? Any help is appreciated..

my day time running lights strobe on and off/ left and right like an ambulance. I installed 4 LED lights and no problem for over a year. Also installed anti flicker units yesterday and it doesn't change. I even pulled the fuse to the DTR lights.. no change..but Something changed in a years time but I don't know. What's my the problem here? Headlights work normally when turned on ..hi and low beam. I looked for an answer/ similar problem on line and didn't find anything.

Got a 2004 Toyota Corolla doing an engine overhaul, engine is almost ready to go back in but then I also had hot air las time car ran, so i wen off without limit and bought all AC tools and parts required to do a complete overhaul which it should be a little bit less expensive than a $1700.00 shops charge for doing this kind of work; a mechanic suggested to me before I started taking the system apart that take it to a pro and get a diagnostic but then there it goes trust; there is a reason why I am doing this painfully slow overhaul, then i came upon this video; well i think I may have found the issue in my case; my relay has continuity between the silver leads, one is marked on top with a black dot, I am assuming meaning negative? in any case polarity should not affect continuity, but when I test the brass leads after applying power from the battery there is only 0.1 and 0.3 ohms reading; using a Fluke 107 meter which is the one I use for work (Electro-mechanical field engineering, similar to mechanic without so much grease and grime) so then I tested the compressor and clutch engages. Car engine is off the bay still but AC components are sealed, I have only disconnected the power steering pump and was thinking to get the engine back in with all the parts attached and serpentine belt as well, as it turns out, seems the culprit is that relay (system reads 65PSI in low port with 100F outside temp, did not hook the hi port) so it may be low on freon as well but with the compressor engaging i do not think i will recover the freon and disconnected it, unless someone would suggest to do a maintenance of the system given having the parts and tools to do so, my idea came as I thought it would be easier to work on the AC components with the engine off the bay than with the engine in but as it turns out there is really not much difference; mind you I still have to see if the car will crank and start once i drop the engine back in; i worked on this car taking my sweetest time over the course of 3 years, everything in the engine bay major have been replaced or re-done; the original issue was failed gasket due to overheating because neglecting oil and coolant, twice!! the first time we went with a "mechanic" only to happen a second time in less than 2 years (it was not because of me the issues, but I was blamed all the same!) so here I am trying to complete this car; this video helped a lot. Thanks for it. I subscribed!

Good in principle but shouldnt be touching the probes with your fingers as a reading will be inaccurate. Very bad practice too as one day it may be high voltage being measured.

Great Question. Best way to find your positive is unplug the relay: insert a 12v test light on one of the open slots of the relay plug. Whichever the light comes on that indicates the hot 🔥side then correspond that with the relay
