ELECTRICAL TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
1. Jumper wire
The jumper wire is used for testing by short-circuiting switch terminals and to verify condition of ground
connections.
Do not connect jumper wire between a power source and a body ground. This may cause burning or
other damage to harnesses and electronic components.
2. Voltmeter
The DC voltmeter a range of 15V or more must be used.
If is used by connecting positive (+) probe (red lead) to point where voltage is to be measured and
connecting negative (-) probe (black lead) to a body ground.
3. Ohmmeter
Ohmmeter is used measure resistance two points in a circuit, to check for continuity, and to diagnose short
circuits.
Never connect ohmmeter to any circuit to which voltage is applied. Doing so may burn or otherwise
damage ohmmeter.
4. Test light
The test as shown light as shown in figure uses a 12V bulb. Two leads should be connected to probes. Test
light is used for simple voltage checks and to check for open circuit.
