Better than a 12V Bulb for Electrical Troubleshooting

[Dennis Vernacchia <nojive65@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul and Cathie et al,

	What is even better than a 12 V lamp is to go down
to your local Harbor freight store ( or to their Website )
and purchase their $5 to under $10 Digital Multi-Meter
that measures Voltage, Current and Resistance.

	Now you are probably saying, "Yeah. well what do I know about
electricity and Ohm's Law? "

	For those who would lik eto know more than just seing if a bulb lights
or not and maybe save themselves a trip to the Auto Electric guy,
there is a nifty and VERY Basic and FREE on-line course that will
teach you had to use that nifty 5 buck Volt/Current/Ohm ( resistance)
meter

	Just go to

http://www.autoshop101.com/

Click on the left column subject - "Online Instruction"

then Click on the 10 subjects in the upper middle column

Electrical Fundamentals
Electrical Circuits
Control Devices
Circuit Protection
Variable Resistors
Understanding Relays
Battery Basics
Battery Services
Understanding Alternators
Understanding Logic Gates

If you made it thru 8th grade, you can understand this,
and if you didn't get your 8 year to help you thru it.

;-)

Good Luck and happy troubleshooting
