Re: Electrical woes continue. Help?
You gents are both playing russian roulette with your vehicle's
electronics then...
Those cheap VOM's are 'extremely' dangerous to use around any CMOS
electronic chips.
They can put too much load on the circuit and just fry the chips.
Basically if your fancy regulator with modern electronics in it wasn't
dead 'before' you started testing, it could sure be dead after you
finished.
Same goes for test lights, they are also a big no no around modern
electronics. The chips are 3-5 volts. They 'really' don't like a 12
volt load put to them.
Even a cheap $5.00 DMM (digital) meter works fine and is 'safe'.
