This month Randy shows us the ins and outs of using a Multimeter to help diagnose Jeep electrical problems. Only in Jp Magazine!
For automotive circuits, we recommend an auto-ranging meter with at least 20MΩ of internal resistance. Make sure to use the correct multimeter setting for a car battery.
The purpose of a multimeter is to enable you to test electrical circuits and record resistance, voltage and current measurements for future reference.
A moving coil multimeter loads the circuit it was testing, altering its characteristics. High-impedance voltage measurement, 1950s style.
Be cautious when using an analog volt-ohm meter to test diode or transistor junction. These meters can drive currents up to 50 mA through the junction, potentially damaging the unit under test.
Learning how to test glow plugs ensures your diesel engine remains reliable and efficient. Here is how to test glow plugs.
When you check the continuity for a new fuse, the multimeter will read approximately zero Ohms of resistance. That means the fuse has continuity and is good.
To test OHM values on either type of motor, disconnect the power. Then gain access to the compressor terminals. Unplug the 3-prong plug on the compressor and set the multimeter to ohms. Measure and ...
A multimeter is an electronic measuring instrument that is used to gauge volts, amps, and resistance from an electrical source. The most common automotive application for a multimeter is to test the ...
EVERETT, WA - Fluke Corporation, the world's leading supplier of test and measurement equipment, introduces the new Fluke 8508A Reference Multimeter, an 8.5-digit resolution instrument designed ...
