Thank you
Good info Matt, just keep in mind, you are assuming that your viewers are using 12v negative ground….but this is a Hagerty video, and many customers of Hagerty have 6v positive ground classic/historical vehicles….
More videos of engine repair. time lapse
What about a VERY important warning about exceeding the rated current draw when measuring amps on an unfused meter such as the one you used. Goodbye meter if you do.
i had to do something similar on my O&P exam,
Good little intro to multimeters video. I think what I found most interesting…towel bar bumpers on a Super Beetle!
I used to work at a parts store. Customers used to come in trying to have me help them diagnose their electrical problem. I would say just buy a multi meter and watch a YouTube video on how to use it for cars. 9 times out of 10 the customer would say I'm not gonna do that nato pay some absorbent thi to have an electrical expert look at it. This is the M1A the most important diagnostic tools right up there with an OBD
DMMs are a necessity for automotive electronic diagnosis. That being said, most malfunctions are simply opens and shorts, and tracking them down can be done with a very simple 12VDC test light.
Magic – thank you!
Really good video. Cheers
