April 15th "oem test sheet"

    This week we went more into the circuit boards and I was trying especially hard to figure out the shorts to make sure i understood how they worked. I think i have the short figured out and the open and high resistance have come pretty easily other than a few mix ups. But now comes the interesting times when we start adding relays and outher components to complicate the boards and make them more like working on a machine. The learning about how relays work was cool. before i just thought oh cool it lets the big power through with a small amperage switch. But them when we got to see the inside and see how it really operated and what can go wrong with them it was very ineresting. I think the hardest part coming up will be dealing with multipl line circuits where there are more places to test and more places to get lost. The OEM sheet i need to do a test today on my car and another at least early this week. And i need to keep in mind that this test is to save time to get the most electrical information quickly. so if you cant do a test or can get to something skip it but remember at the end when viewing results that anything you missed can be the problem.
