  • You call people dumb and stupid. Do you realize that most people are first time learners just stumbling onto a video while learning this stuff? How is this some kind of argument in your head that you feel you are arguing with people who are simply watching a video? Makes no sense. That's all in your head. What a crappy way to look at learning.

    I RARELY LEAVE COMMENTS BUT DUDE I DEFINETLY WANT TO SAY YOU EXPLAINED IT GREAT. THANKS FOR BEING SO CLEAR HOW IT WORKS
  • @kid3764
    Finally !!! After being in the Automotive industry for many years, this is the most simple explanation ever.. Great job !!
  • Great video about relays. FYI when you start comparing 110VAC to 12VDC something should be understood. When talking about power you are dealing with Watts (V*A=W), not just current or voltage alone. Your AC unit is pulling 12amps at 110VAC so it's using 1320Watts. Your 50 watt car fans are running at 12V, so they are using 600Watts. So your car fans are using half the "power" of your house AC unit. I realize you are mostly talking about amperage in this video but it's a little misleading to say amps are amps and leave it at that. Thanks for video.

    I’ve learned a heap watching your videos on the use and need for relays and the wiring up for your double cooling fan setup! Thanks a million.
  • @blakevernon9778
    Always loved running relays, relay boxes, fuses and fuse boxes for a new, clean install. Great confirmation information in this video!

    Brother.....you knocked this one out of the ball park. Why some people make it so complicated??? Thanks
  • @paulgibson9103
    Awesome explanation !!! I am a HVAC control tech,, You have done an amazing job of displaying in simple terms !!
  • @aibuiltpc
    no you didnt include a ton of technical jargon and math but after watching 20 different vids on this topic this my favorite...everything finally clicked after watching your video. thank you, now i am going to properly wire or re wire a good portion of my 20 yo plow truck. awesome
  • @kreg_92
    Best video on the internet. Thank you so much for making this, I've even taken screen shots to quickly remember things you said.
  • Chris you did an absolute superb job in breaking down your tutorial in a very basic, understandable way for novices like me to understand. You even explained the terms you used like "load", not assuming your audience understand the electrical lingo. I was so grateful how you did not presume knowledge on your audience. I mean for those who understand electronics they would not even need these basic tutorials. It is people like myself who are trying to become educated in the area and it is only due to the extent you went that makes things so clear and understandable. I am so grateful that you broke things down in elementary terms, as that is exactly what I was looking for. Again, thanks so much for knowing your audience and those whom you were trying to reach. I am a student of your videos and I importune you to keep up the good work. Us novices out here need people like you
