OVOM
1. Check for loose or bare wires
Check for loose wires at each terminal connection
and for worn insulation or bare wires touching the
frame. Bare wires may cause a short circuit.

"any DVOM readings indicate a faulty wire, it
·
· is recommended that the condition of the termi­
nals and wire junction be examined. A faulty wire should be
replaced with one of the same gauge and color and wired
between the correct components and wire tied to the harness
bundle. The faulty wire should be cut back close to the harness
and the ends protected with vinyl electrical tape.
2. Check battery condition
Check for adequate battery volts (nominal 12 VOC)
by setting OVOM to 30
probe (+) on the battery post with the green wire
attached. Place the black probe(-) on the battery post
with the black wire attached. A reading of 11
greater indicates adequate battery condition. No
reading indicates (a) a poor connection between the
probes and the battery terminals; (b) a faulty OVOM.
A voltage reading below 11 volts indicates poor bat­
tery condition and the vehicle should be recharged
before proceeding with the test.

ACCESSORY WIRING
3. Check power wire
Firmly attach the black probe (-) to the battery post
with the black wire attached and the red probe (+) to
the green wire terminal at the fuse block. A reading of
battery voltage indicates that the power wire is in
good condition.
4. Check fuse
Place the red probe (+) to each wire terminal on the
fuse block. A reading of battery voltage indicates that
the fuse is in good condition. No reading indicates a
faulty fuse; replace with a good 15 amp fuse.
ACCESSORY WIRING
After determining that there is power to the fuse panel,
and the fuse is good, continue checking the circuit using
the procedures previously used to check the power sup­
ply, i.e. loose or rusted connections, bare wires, continu­
ity of the wiring from terminal to terminal, operating
or
condition of switch, etc.
Use the wiring diagram (Ref Fig. 2 on page L-2) to check
correct wiring and wire routing. If there is power at the
fuse end of the wire, there must also be power at the
other end of the wire at the switch or electrical accessory,
and eventually at the ground connection. Electricity must
flow from the fuse panel through the full length of the cir­
cuit to the ground connection. Any interruption of electri­
cal flow must be corrected, whether by repairing or
replacing the wire, the switch or accessory.
