Forget that essay for now .
On the way home I had to call at Barbour frieght to buy a soldering iron to de-amber my headlights , and noticed they have a multimeter with everything needed apart from audible continuity for around $5.00 .
With hindsite , I should have just bought one tonight to assist my essay with pics .
But I will go buy one tommorrow , and take pics of me doing a basic "battery issues" check .
I will then start another thread detailing the steps needed to work through electrical gremlins
It does not have a continuity function so I will use one of my flukes for that part , as that is a vital "quick 'n' easy" test that is VERY valuable when working on car electrics ...
I don't expect everybody who works on cars to spend hundreds on fluke meters , but the $5.00 harbor freight meter at a minimum should be in everybody's toolkit
They also have one with continuity on sale at the moment for $20.00
The one 3.2 bought from RadioShack looks similar , and is not too much money at $20 if you have an RS nearby but no HF , but there is one with continuity for a few bucks more ...
