  • Step 1

    Turn off the Engine and To take down the battery. to remove the positive Limit from the 12-volt battery by to loosen itself the Limit bolt with an adjustable wrench. traction the cable far from the battery to to prevent the Limit from manufacture contact with the positive post.

  • Step 2

    Refer to the wiring diagram for 12-volt élém. élect. systems in boats and cars to lucky find all the élém. élect. wiring implied in the non-functioning device. To place each of the physics wires in the car or boat that are shown in the wiring diagram.

  • Step 3

    Set a multimeter to "ohms" to to carry out continuity tests on each one of the wires. Zero out the ohms Balance on an analog multimeter by contact the wire together and arrangement the switches on zero with the Calibration wheel or dial.

  • Step 4

    Touch one wire to one end of a wire and the other wire to the other end. to avoid touching the wire while catch a reading, as your skin affect the resistance being measured. Use a long time lead prolongation wires with alligator Fastens ends if necessary for attack both ends of a long time wires.

  • Step 5

    Read the ohms values shown on the measure display. A reading reflected by any number exposures a good wire. An infinite reading exposures a shorts in the wire. To replace any wire that prove to to have a shorts with this test to Restoration service to the on-board appliance.
