I have all this equipment and use it. But I know very little about the quirks of the M96 despite many Posts and countless hours reading on the subject. I would give this 'needle in a haystack' task to a competent Indie because he will know where/how to check and will have worked on this problem before. I can't imagine the time wasted by starting with a wiring diagram and making a first stumbling attempt at this. Often he will discover other issues while probing. That is the hidden value of a competent Indie - if he is honest.
You'd be amazed how many issues we notice when doing routine servicing - we alert the customer and they are usually very grateful and often become long term customers. We have some who say -yes, they can do the servicing but they bring the car to us just because we look for things that may cause future problems. We even have a phrase for the customer when it is time to sell a problematic/doomed car "CarMax time !"
