Automotive circuit tracing

[Dave McMahon]

Sometimes my vehicle and others devlop electrical faults, normally cured by
changing fuse / component, however i have heard that sometimes you need to
'trace' faults with a multmeter.

This is okay but how does one go about tracing the fault?? i know that a
circuit has to be closed to work but how can you trace the fault to a single
broken wire or connector?? in a loom it is hards to check visually for
corrsion as many parts of loom are hidden what setting do i have to use on
mutimeter?? do i need a more able tool sometimes?? the car in question is
not fuel injected

At the moment the electrics all work fine, however i wish to be prepared for
the future!!

Any help is appricated

thanks dave

Buy a Hanes guide. It can be tedious tracing automotive wiring with a meter.
