How to properly protect batteries from temperatures in the paint booth during curing process when getting a new paint job? Car battery always seem to die the same day after fresh new paint job. How to prevent this?
Is this because the temperature in the paint booth drain the battery fast or because the auto body shop may routinely disconnect all customer car batteries during paint process and reconnect them when completely finished? If shops know that doing that is bad for modern cars, why do they do it? Or I guess the question is, are they supposed to do it to protect batteries from paint booth temperature?
What if the battery get bad an if have to replace it you have disconnect battery cable

Thanks Scotty, you are the best! Easy to find drains and great trick to find the circuit with the problem. I drive an older truck and I'd love to have one of those testers!
Can you do a show on how to safely change the battery out without losing the programming and screwing everything up? Would it work if you hook up a battery charger to the battery cables, disconnect the battery, install the new one, then remove the charger?
Every time Scotty say’s “battery” take a shot!

This is the reason on why I don't go to a comedy channel when I have Scotty! He just cracks me up!
This is some of the best and informative advice you’ve ever given Scotty! Electric problem’s are always a needle in a haystack... Thanks as always Scotty!!
FYI Scotty, the AstroAI Digital Clamp Meter, TRMS 6000 is advertised as an AC current meter only. Although the TRMS 6000 meter may be able to measure DC current the reason AstroAI indicates it is AC current only may be due to its inaccuracy when measuring DC current. Also the current scales on the TRMS 6000 meter are marked with a symbol indicating AC only; a letter "S" turned sideways. For it to indicate AC and DC there would be an underscore below the sideways letter "S". There are several other clamp meters advertised for under thirty dollars that do measure DC current.
I think I will just keep buying really old cars and avoid some of the hassle.
But then you have different hassles; finding parts, lower gas mileage, passing inspection, etc.
Lower gas mileage is not a problem as you could buy a good Toyota cheap from the early 2000's. Also parts are not a problem as you can buy aftermarket parts cheap. Get a good car then no problems passing inspection. I bought a 2003 car for $2000 instead of buying a new car as it would take me over 10 years to break even with the fuel savings alone. One thing though, you must be able to work on cars yourself when small things go wrong.
I got 2001Tundra 3.4 300km , 2007 Tundra 4.7 292km and 2004 4Runner 4.0 235km and love them all :)
Absolutely love these videos! Honestly I watch them more then I do my cable now!
"Why thinking about a car will cause malfunctioning"
I miss the old intro where Scotty actually reved up an engine.
His neighbors got tired of him burning rubber all the time.
Me too much better then the new one.
The more I deal with modern cars, the more I’d rather have a 51 Chevy.
Why not a '56 so you can have a V8?
Walter K Because the old 235 “Stovebolt” 6 is just so darn easy to work on. You can crawl in under the hood with the engine if you want.
Oscar Ljungberg Can’t seem to post a photo here. Just google 51 Chevy engine with image search.
I feel like the mechanics of an older car is just easier. Computers in cars kind of defeats the purpose of good engines
Let's be honest here, even women in the 50's were better, this is coming from a guy born in the 90s. You know what, maybe I will get a C1 instead of a C8 here in London
LOL SCOTTY TRIGGERS ME BY WAVING HIS HANDS ...LOL
JARON LEE the moment I read your comment it started to trigger me too lmaoo😂
The clamp on meter went from $24 to $23 to $25 and then back to $23 during that video. 🤣 You're the best Scotty!
I looked up the specs: this thing only measures AC current unless you use it as a regular multimeter, I.e. disconnect the battery. Cars use DC current.
I am not sure why you had a reading, there might be some AC injected by some IC.
Are you sure you got the model right? My version of his toy does both
Sure do love that you're so willing to share your knowledge. Thank you!
I love your videos, I am a 66 year old woman who love to know what is going on with my car ( not necessarily to work on, but to know what needs to be worked and the process).

I remember that feeling. It was immaculate and reasonably priced. Although I did love the car, it was like a high maintenance g/f that was beyond my financial means. Then one night, a large deer jumped right in front and I had no time to avoid it. It sucked but that was it for the car!

Scotty!
This is fantastic! I remember, in the '60's-'70's, I had a cheap, simple multimeter that let me work for years on my VW Bugs; but now, unless I can find a Bug that's intact enough to be a daily driver, I guess I'm going to change with times, and get a clamp-around probe-meter. I had no idea things had mutated to this degree of complexity. Thanks for bringing this knowledge to the unmechanicaI masses. I guess that, in order to generate really complex problems, you have to have a computer.
Thanks for all the great and helpful info that you share Scotty. I always appreciate and love listening to your videos. Thanks! :)

Amazing how you have changed and simplified automotive electronic diagnostics for us "shade tree mechanics". Thanks Scotty!
There are devices you connect to your OBDII port that keeps power to the settings while the battery is disconnected.
@John Smith It was mentioned at about the 30 second mark that disconnecting the battery causes issues, I mentioned it so people could use the info for other applications where you DO have to disconnect the battery, just a continuation on that comment.
@@mac11380
On certain vehicles it does. But on those specific vehicles when a battery saver is connected via OBDII port will these issues disconnecting the battery still happen? Ummmm noooo
Im an associate in a auto care center at Wal-Mart and we use that method for saving the settings. And i know that is why you mentioned that in your original comment. I just saw that you replied to your own comment.

Hey Scott. This is a very informative video and allowed me to troubleshoot my older car in a different way. I just replaced the dead battery with a new one and in the morning noticed that it had drained down to 4.6 volts. I'm getting the tool today.

Bless you! 😁
There’s something not right about this… As a rule, clamp meters generally CANNOT measure DC current (although some of them with a Hall Effect sensor built into the clamp CAN). The meter in the video FOR SURE can’t measure DC current - it can only measure AC current! There are no markings on the front of the meter to select DC current measurements. Even the user manual doesn’t list it as being DC current capable in the specs. Also… unless the parking lamps are LED, they should draw a LOT more than 0.49 amps!
You are correct. I cannot explain how Scotty got a reading unless the meter is reading high frequency conducted noise generated by the car's computer(s).
I learn something new everyday... Thanks Scotty!
I disconnect the battery cable all the time on my Jeep. The thing is that it’s a 1991 so it’s not really modern😂. But I use it for the purpose of resetting the computer sometimes.
Used to have to do the same on a 91 grand cherokee I had till one day it just wouldn't start, it would spin over but for some reason the immobiliser/alarm system was locked on 😒🤷♂️
Hi Scotty. Nice video; thanks for taking the time to explain things on a fifth-grader level (don't worry, that's a compliment). I've wondered what "load testing" entails; seems like now I know a tool to use. - Benjamin
Scotty, I love your videos and I REALLY APPRECIATE your honesty! I watch you all the time and I have learned a lot from you.
Question... What do you think about the '02 Chevy Suburban 1500? I've owned mine for about a year. I got it for around $2500 with about 170k miles, and it really seems to run great... Plus, I can fold the seats down an fit whole 4x8 sheets of plywood in it and close the back door! Hahaha!
Great tip! Thanks for passing along your knowledge.
As soon as the intro popped up my co worker revved an engine on a Kia Sorento lol.

Thank you for a very informative video on detecting battery drains using a safe and economical tool! Seems like they are few and far between on our seemingly more complex modern vehicles! $23 well spent!🙇🏼♂️👨🏼🔧
Keep ‘em coming Scotty!👏🏼🙋🏼♂️
I have a 2015 Jeep KL, if it sits for a two days or so the useless start stop won't kick on unless I drive it for about an hour, 3 year-old AGM battery, so I'm thinking I may have a drain somewhere. Thanks for the tip.
We have a 2000 MX-5 (NB), in winter the alarm system drains the battery, if we cut the power totally will the ODO meter after 6 months still show the right "mileage" (we have kilometers)? Thanx
Scotty, thanks again! Love the honesty and knowledge.
A clamp-on meter that measures DC current will cost more and need to be zeroed out before each measurement.
Really? I bought a clamp meter for AC. I haven't tried it on DC because i'm scared. Will it really not work?
He's got the meter set on the 60A AC range. Not sure how he's measuring DC current.
@@bensonwills7446 Rofl He does. That meter even has DC capabilies.
I bought the clamp meter via Scotty's link in the description. Was wondering why it wasn't even reading at least my BMW's 50 milliamp sleep mode draw, until I read the product description where it says "not for DC current".
uTommydogs , sorry to hear that.
Hope you can return it for one that works with DC.
How long does it take for a BMW to shut down enough to get to 50 mA?
I'd love an ammeter tester tool! Thanks scotty for helping me and my car! A 1967Chevelle I've had for 40 years! I thought I knew all about it but... now I know a little bit more about it! Thanks to you Scotty! Andrew Hicks is my Name
Thank you so much Scotty. that was very informative. Have a severe battery drain on my 1984 F250. Not nearly as many bells and whistles as the new cars, but I'm kind of a electrical dummy and you gave me a good place to start so thank you 👍
This video literally comes up right after I disconnected the battery

Awesome work Scotty.. so what if I connect up a battery power bank and then remove the car battery leaving the bank connected .. do you think that would work and prevent the need for resets etc?
So you are recommending a meter that only measures AC current?
Hey Scotty, I went for a walk with my wife, and suddenly she started making a "klunka klunka" sound. What could it be,should I get rid of her?

Scotty, great video, quick comment... if you end up pulling all the fuses, presumably one of the high amperage ones will be related to the computer, which will kill the power, and put you into the same state as if you disconnected the battery, right?
Keep up the great videos!
I'd like to know this too.

And, you are hilarious! LOL
Paula Hunt
Good video thanks Scotty. Why are auto oscilloscopes so expensive??? Is there a good cheap one out there somewhere? Thanks
I’d like one of those meters! You’re the best Scotty!
According to the specs, the DT201D clamp meter will only read AC current - as DC does not generate a changing magnetic field. How do you get DC readings from it?
Michael Bauer yeah, right. I really wonder that too
They do make ac/dc clamp meters. Not sure what that cheap pos is.
I'm a electrician and it's fluke or nothing.
Just read the specification for DT201D and it’s as Michael Bauer says. It’s measuring AC current, not DC. So how Scotty make this work is a mystery
I'm no electrician but does it make a difference that he's looking for amperage & not current?
jason harris Ampere is the unit of current. For instance: the current is 3 ampere
Sure Scotty, I'll take one of those electrical claws! I could also use it to see if my other half is draining our bank account as well, he-he! 😁 Thanks Scotty!
Good to know this can test so many things. So if one is on an extended vacation, how to avoid dead battery when return home?
This should also work on my pacemaker.
Actually something similar is used.
I couldn't afford one of these, so I stripped the wire, licked my finger and I'm good to go. Sure I have t wait a week for the numbness to go away but it works.

Thanks Scotty for all you do to help others on car problems.
