Guest64833Does anybody know if the practice exams for the ASE certification are available on youtube for Damage Analysis & Estimating Certification Test (B6) , Collision Repair & Refinish Certification Tests (B2 – B5), and Automobile Service Consultant Certification Test (C1)05:06
Guest64833...Not my cup of tea but i feel like a should also know this side of things to B+ level.05:09
Guest64833...Its just like the A1-8 and G1 ASE exams are great but i am kind of eager to see the other ASE certification practice exams on the list http://www.ase.com/Tests/ASE-Certification-Tests/Test-Series.aspx05:12
Guest64833..because those missing pieces are would cover any gaps in medium trucks , heavy trucks , transit buses or school buses05:13
Guest64833...I have to say school bus are not an issue once you know A1-8 but there is some picky stuff more on safety of installed glass /type of glass , ...etc05:15
Guest64833... so far from what i have seen and make sense because your dealing with  children as well transist bus test could be touchy in that its dealing with a large majority of people05:16
Guest64833...even so i cann't wait to obtain the information just to better my knowledge of everything an supplement my A1-8 knowledge so if i ever get the oppertunity to do it all be fully prepared ... or at least prepared to the best of what i could do with limited access05:18
Guest64833to the buses and tools05:18
Guest64833...really curious on the major differences between S, T,H certfications05:23
Guest64833can somebody please post the rest of the practice exams for the 2016/2017 ASE exams i am rambling but i am totally immersed in these test05:24
Mcavendishuhm05:33
Mcavendishlet me be honest dude, this is for automotive software05:33
Mcavendishjoin ##cars instead maybe?05:34
Mcavendishalso if you are on irc, you might be too smart to be a mechanic, go into IT05:34
*** nick__ has joined #automotive05:36
Guest64833And how does alternate fuel certification F1 differ from whats covered on h1 ? I have to see the practice exams to compare or see if any gaps in knowledge are still there06:00
Guest64833...as well we have A9 , T2 , ... and a bunch of diesel engine test but curious on what the difference in questions and information is on those...06:03
Guest64833...it seems as T7 ,S7 , would be the same hvac doesn't change weather its a car , truck , bus , or house it relies on the same principals and minor component differences06:04
Guest64833...arggg its frustrating i just want to look thru them all06:06
Guest64833but all i got it is the A's and G certification exams which is good but not perfect yet06:07
Guest64833...and to me Undercar Specialist Exhaust Systems Test (X1) should really be A10 because it is not a special exam it should be knowledge all car mechanics should have...06:12
Guest64833evap,egt , catyltic converter , muffler , exhaust manifold /shield , welding and cutting knowledge06:13
Guest64833..oxygen sensor etc06:13
Guest64833..I am kind of eager to see if this X1 has any significant things on it i am not aware of in exhaust systems06:14

cmannsHi06:19
cmannsAnybody familiar with power inverters06:20
*** praneeth has quit IRC06:52
*** praneeth has joined #automotive06:53
Guest64833yes what kind for solar panels , car electronic equipment , or other applications?07:00
Guest64833Any way still browsing thru all the ASE pdf on there site http://www.ase.com/Tests/ASE-Certification-Tests/Test-Series.aspx07:01
cmannsWe have a peak 400w inverter and it just beeps07:02
Guest64833..and they only give a handful of question on each section it seems so far no major issues07:02
Guest64833based on the limited questions for T,S ,H,...etc non A exams07:02
Guest64833...The power inverter should be used just to convert DC to AC if you exceed the wattage you probably blow a fuse potientially07:04
cmannsYeah I'm wondering if take it apart07:04
cmannsManual says no fuse. Another brand with similar manual says maybe protection circuit engaged which requires send it in (fuse prolly)07:05
Guest64833just look up a circuit diagram for the power inverter its nothing special ...most hobbies can build similar low wattage power inverters07:05
cmannsI can't find o e07:05
Guest64833...One way is to create an ossilator circuit and amplify it from your dc source07:06
Guest64833But thats just the basic's and there is alot better and other components that go into a pro version07:06
Guest64833...some can be complex others very basic07:07
cmannsThis is a friends I'm just trying help diagnose07:07
Guest64833O its not working07:08
Guest64833well check any blown fuses first thats the obvious07:08
Guest64833...then i would go thru with a multimeter to find where you get voltage to07:09
cmannsWish we had a multimeter. At least i.got the trailer wiring to batteries cleaned up.07:09
Guest64833....chances are its a capacitor that blew07:09
cmannsI think mosfet or fuse07:11
Guest64833...any case its probably better just to get another one then to trouble shoot a 400watt one... but if its for electronic fun i recommend getting more electronic equipment07:11
cmannsIt turns on seems do self check then beeps07:11
Guest64833well ya if the transistor went that would do it to07:12
Guest64833...but really if your getting this low its a bad board and at this point your trying to fix the board thats not going to work really if you don't have the equipment07:13
