A multimeter provides one of the easiest ways to measure alternating and direct current (AC & DC). We provide some of the key guidelines . . .
Heater cold resistance at room temperature, with a multimeter between grey and white cable (H+, H-), and the sensor not connected to the Precision Wideband Controller, should be 2.5 to less than 10 ohms * We dedicate the Precision Wideband Controller to the memory of Garfield Willis. Garfiel...
Go slowly and periodically stop to check if the bottom of the rubber foot is tearing on the outside. If it is, stop and use the spackling knife to get under the adhesive and pry it up along with the foot. Work from one corner horizontally across to the other, then forward evenly towa...
This type of testing is the best way to check a diode because it depends on the diode’s characteristics. In this testing, the diode is connected in forward biased to measure the voltage drop across the diode with a digital multimeter. Diode Testing using Diode Mode First, the center knob ...
Running a load test on your car's alternator using a voltmeter or multimeter could help you figure out if your alternator is on the fritz. Tricky_Shark/Shutterstock With so many components working to create the electricity vital for our vehicles, it's safe to say the alternator is a cruci...

How to Generate Electricity with Geothermal Energy Geothermal energy is energy from within the earth. The earth from inside is too hot. This heat from within the earth can be used to turn turbines and produce electricity. This technology is still a subject matter of further research and engineer...
Check for Battery Corrosion Battery corrosion can diminish battery performance because it can interfere with the electrical connection to your vehicle’s critical systems. If you notice any white or greenish substance on or near the battery terminals, you can clean it with a brush and a mixture...
HOW TO MAKE a PORTABLE WIND TURBINE: Generally when I want to get away from the city and camp, I take some kind of power source with me. Within my preferences are the Power Banks. With a small and light one, of approximately 40 Watt hours (Wh), I can cha
Check the charging system wiring harness and connectors for dirty or loose-fitting terminals; clean and repair them as required. If the wiring harness and connectors are acceptable and no problem has been found after performing the previous tests, you can consider the regulator/rectifier to be def...
