Electrical
Test
Equipment

Many
of
the
electrical
tests
described
in
this
manual
call
for

measuring
voltage,
currentorresistanceusing
a
digital
multi-

meter
(DMM)
.
Digital
meters
are
preferred
for
precise
mea-

surements
and
for
electronics
work
because
they
are
generally
more
accuratethan
analog
meters
.
The
numerical

display
is
alsoless
likely
to
be
misread,
since
there
is
no
nee-

dle
position
to
be
misinterpreted
by
reading
at
an
angle
.

An
LED
test
light
is
a
safe,
inexpensive
tool
that
can
be
used

to
perform
many
simple
electrical
tests
that
would
otherwise

require
a
digital
multimeter
.
The
LED
indicates
when
voltage

is
present
between
anytwo
test-points
in
a
circuit
.

An

light
with
a
normal

may
draw

to

WIRING
DIAGRAMS

The
wiring
diagrams
shown
in
Electrical

have
been
specially
designed
to
enable
quick
and
efficientdi-

agnosis
and
troubleshooting
of

.

Wiring
Codes
and
Abbreviations

A
lot
of
information
is
included
in
each
wiring
diagram
if
you
know
how
to
read
them
.
Wire
colors
in
the
diagrams
are
ab-

breviated
.
Combined
color
codes
indicate
a
multi-colored
wire
.
For
example
the
code
BLU/RED
indicates
a
Blue
wire

with
a
Red
stripe
.

Many
electrical
components,
connectors,
fuses,
and

ground
locations
are
identified
using
a
unique
number
.
Each

of
there
numbers
corresponds
to
a
particular

in
the
circuit
commonly
