- - - - - - which is the most reliable way to check for bad connections or a
cable/wire in bad condition. An ohmmeter passes a very low level
voltage/current through a circuit and looks at the resultant voltage drop
which comes up as ohms resistance. Testing in this manner will not produce
meaningful results. The best way to evaluate a circuit is under load and
look at impressed voltage and voltage drop (and in the starter circuit
testing situation, the voltage drops across the individual items in the
circuit on the pos and neg sides of the battery). Incremental allowable
voltage drop is a case by case situation but the lower the better would be a
good rule of thumb.
