I always like to check them during the day by grasping the wires and
running my hand along each wire. Wetting your hand prior to doing this
will ensure that you will get good results.

Reminds me of the student who grabbed the high voltage lead on an old
vacuum tube amp during a lab experiment. When he leaned over the
bench to connect it, his metal zipper made contact with the grounded
bench. OUCH!!

I hooked up a timing light wrong, and it sparked off the end of my
pecker. I can't tell you how much that hurt as a teenager.
