6 Steps in Troubleshooting Vehicle Wiring Problems

The following steps will be done to troubleshoot Vehicle wiring problems issues or circuit failures. Note that you just have to be compelled prepare some tools like jumper wire, voltmeter, ohmmeter and probing tools, before do some troubleshooting on your Vehicle wiring problems issues. Here are some steps you have to perform:
  1. Verify problems issues
  2. Verify any connected symptoms. try this by performing operational checks on parts that are in same circuit.
  3. Analyze the symptoms. Use the wiring diagrams to see what the circuit is doing, where the problems issues possibly is happening and where the diagnosis can continue.
  4. Isolate problems issues area
  5. Repair problems issues
  6. Verify correct operation.
* Jumper wire: check wire used to connect 2 points of a circuit. It may be used to bypass an open during a circuit.

* Voltmeter: this a voltage measurement tools. Note, connect the black result in known sensible ground and red result in the positive side of the circuit.

* Ohmmeter: this a circuit’s resistance measurement tools. Note that low or no resistance during a circuit means that sensible continuity.
