A MECHANIC has revealed a simple hack that can fix all sorts of electrical issues in your car, including a broken charging port.
TikToker Username_af gave a step-by-step tutorial on how to identify and repair broken fuses in your vehicle.
"Charging port is not working? Don't worry, it's an easy fix," the car expert said.
If your phone charger isn't powering on, it probably means that it isn't getting electricity from your car battery.
"The first thing you should always check is the fuses," the TikToker explained in the video.
After removing the lid to the fuse box, he showed a diagram that displays the locations of each fuse.
The mechanic said for a phone charger, you should look at the fuse that says 12V.
"Now that we know the locations we're gonna remove the 15A fuse," he explained while showing the diagram on the fuse box lid.
"And just as I expected, the fuse is blown."
He then compared the blown fuse with a good one, showing how one is clearly disconnected in the middle while the other remains intact.
"We're gonna use a good fuse and put it back where the old fuse was," he said.
He placed the new fuse in and returned the box to completely fix the once broken charging port.
This comes as another car expert posted a TikTok showing you can tell if your cabin's air filter actually needs changing.
Kimmie Kurl's video begins with her stating that she changed her cabin air filter before visiting a Honda dealership.
Kimmie said she swapped her cabin air filter since she figured her Honda dealership would recommend the service unnecessarily and attempt to overcharge.
This TikTok creator shows the dirty cabin filter she replaced to the camera to support her claim that she changed the filter before visiting the Honda dealership.
The savvy car owner then displays her new air cabin filter’s box and notes that the new $15 filter she bought on Amazon took under a minute to install.
Kimmie walks us through her car’s air cabin filter replacement steps, beginning with opening her glove box.
Once her glove box’s open, Kimmie presses on both sides of the glove box’s tray, which causes the cabin air filter’s cover to pop off.
This cabin air filter’s replacement process is finalized when a driver pulls the filter out of its slot and inserts a new filter before reattaching the component’s cover and closing the glovebox.
Kimmie is shown removing her cabin air filter, which appears brand new.
Kimmie claims that this new-looking filter is the filter that her local Honda dealership attempted to charge her $90 to replace.
When this TikTok creator asked if her Honda dealer’s technicians actually checked the filter, the technicians allegedly told her they filmed themselves examining the filter and showed her the video.
Kimmie responded: “No, you didn’t, because half of the video cut off, and number two, I just changed it [the cabin air filter] yesterday.”
The technicians then reportedly suggested the glove box was locked, which Kimmie said wasn’t true.
The service center employees then tried to change the subject by asking Kimmie what her Fourth of July plans were, she said.
