The Easiest Way to Test Your Relays

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Fuse box

Video tutorial

In this video, we will see the simplest and most economical method to test your relays: no expensive equipment is needed. For the first method, you will need a simple multimeter, which can be found on eBay, for example, under code 326539418173 for £9.90 with free delivery.

On the relay, there is a positive pin and a negative pin: these pins are numbers 85 and 86. Test these two pins; you should obtain a resistance between 50 and 150 Ohms. Another method is to take your relay and a 12-volt battery, connecting the negative to pin 86 and the positive to pin 85: you should hear the relay clicking as it activates and deactivates.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
