Resistance and continuity checking - Fig. 7, Fig. 8, Fig. 9 & Fig. 10 --- -<br />

High resistance in earth connections can cause unusual<br />

(and apparently illogical) symptoms that are seemingly<br />

unconnected with the components involved.<br />

Earth connections should be thoroughly cleaned and<br />

treated with a proprietary contact cleaner before<br />

assembly.<br />

Connections in the vicinity of the battery are particularly<br />

vulnerable to corrosion.<br />

Earth wires should be checked along their whole length for<br />

chafing, corrosion and mechanical damage. A typical<br />

earth wire may have 20-30 strands and although there will<br />

still be a connection if only a few of these are intact, the<br />

resulting high resistance will cause problems.<br />

Suspect multi-plugs should be 'dismantled' (if possible)<br />

and the terminals thoroughly inspected and cleaned.<br />

Set the meter to RESISTANCE.<br />

If applicable, set the meter to the correct scale (most<br />

modern meters are self-ranging).<br />

Connect the black test lead to the red test lead and check<br />

that the meter displays ZERO R.<br />

Fig. 6 -<br />

NOTE: If ZERO R is not displayed, refer to the meter operating instructions.<br />

Disconnect the component from any wiring.<br />

Connect the black test lead to one terminal being tested.<br />

Connect the red test lead to the other terminal being tested.<br />

Read and record the value displayed.<br />

If the meter displays ZERO, - Fig. 7 this indicates continuity.<br />

If the meter displays a (infinity) Fig. 8, this indicates NO continuity (open circuit).<br />
