No bs, perfectly explained
Sure wish the 05 avalanche was that easy. Trying to figure that out.
I got used to the normal, one way, types.
Hey @houseofhacks theres another configuration that has all lights lit up. What does that mean
All three lights lit means the outlet has 240 volts, or somewhere close to it. Either because of a floating neutral on a multiwire branch circuit eg. a 12/3 romex in your kitchen supplying the two circuits for the countertop outlets with the black and red sharing a common neutral, or someone installed a standard 120 volt 15 or 20A outlet on a dedicated circuit when they really needed a single outlet 240V 15/20A, such as you might find in your living room or garage for something like a larger air conditioner or electric heater exceeding 1500 watts (the electrical Code and UL standards limit the plug-in space heaters to 1500 watts when a 120V 15A two or three pronged plug is factory installed)
Thanks! Solved my prob, no cost
The second tip solves my problem, thanks.
Thank you for the explanation
THANK YOU
Why is no one naming the app used???
Thank you so much for the clear instruction!!
Jewellery should include rings 💍
What does it mean when all 3 lights are on? Does it mean it's all crossed up on the circuit?

Is it safe to spray silicone on outside of electrical connector and on wire insulation? For automotive applications.
you're da man!😂
I have the same and red and yellow lights are on. Tested voltage with multimeter and it's 120v. I wonder what's going on? You didn't talk about that option above!
Longboard bearings : Silicon lube :D q8 :D
Brake calibr metal to metal you should use anti seize grease (aluminum + copper + graphite) 👌
Brilliant idea
Wow 😅😂😂😂😂
No thread sealant on the pump fittings ?
As a shop owner I can confirm that silicone grease can in fact be used for brake applications and is highly recommended
Wasted hours on 11 min videos that over complicate the answer. You sir got it in a couple minutes, well done.
Thanks for this video! Purchased new parts from your link, arrived today, followed your suggestions and now have a functioning tailgate! 2004 GMC Sierra Thanks!
You guys are weird as F but that’s a really nice table--
Not fond of the daisy chain wring You have the space. Pig tail wire. By doing that I ou are not pushing power thru unused plugs
Can silicone grease be used in Rubik’s cube?
Thank you! I've been wondering how you got a shot of the viewfinder?
what is the result of 1101 divided by 111 please solve this..
fr my hero
Fast and perfectly explaining content, great! and idk why, but this guy is just so sympathetic 😀
Easy Peasy! Thank you for the helpful video. Even made ordering the replacement part fast and simple.
Is open ground unsafe?
What if all 3 lights are lit up?

I cannot find the link. Give me the link please.
You rock! This was exactly the issue. I ordered through your link and should have the part in a couple of days. My local auto parts store has a single clip for $5. I'd rather have the eternal supply from Amazon! Thank you!!
I'm tackling a DIY project using 8 ft. corrugated galvanized steel (31-gauge) panels. I need to solder the seams together and have everything ready except the right flux and soldering bars. I have a soldering iron and muriatic acid for prepping the metal. Could you please recommend the best type of flux for this job and soldering bars? Any additional tips on soldering galvanized steel would also be amazing. I am a complete beginner, so anythings helps. Thanks Thanks a ton!
Any thoughts on can i substitute a pool vac hose for a shop vac hose and it still be fine art picking up dust or similar or metal shaving s and still liquids thoughts please thank you
TRW makes brake grease called PFG110. in the datasheet you find out its pretty much lithium grease, yet they say its safe on rubbers. So then it depends what kind of rubber, i think nitrile rubber is different and some if not most automotive and brake parts and orings and seals and dust covers are made out of this material so its safe with lithium grease.
Im really sorry for your loss man, losing loved ones is really hard to go through. Praying for you man, stay blessed❤❤❤
This is useful but the so called "music" makes it VERY hard to listen.
Thank you so much for your video.
Awesome information. Thanks
Very cool. I'm going to use dielectric grease on electronic fittings now on
Thanks!
How about it's attached but the cable is not moving when you lift the handle up?
Great video - thank you
Great inexpensive and effective idea, I am using your clamp design as well as your moving blanket with grommets idea to hang up blankets to deaden my drums. I also have a gopro so these clamps will be a solution for odd mounting area. Thanks Harley!
What does it mean if all 3 lights come on? The center light is strong and both outside lights flicker.
Some garage mechanics are lazy,and will tell you everything is fine when it isn’t. Just so they don’t have to do the work which is a pity.
Great video, lad 👍
