Best Answer

You use an ohm meter to check for continuty, low ohm reading, on the center pin between the two ends of the cable. You would then check for continuity between the shield, or outside connector. If both of those are good, you should also check between one of the center pins and the shield to ensure their isn't a short on the cable.

A multimeter or a light emmiting diode connected in series to two AA alkaline batteries. Instructions on how to build a continuity checker device can be found at sidmelo_blogreen. It is there somewhere.

What are the approximations of open circuit and short circuit tests?

Firstly turn of the power before this test...Using a resistance or continuity tester you should get the following results:Short circuit: Very low resistance (nearly 0 ohms) or the bell will ring.Open circuit: Very high resistance (Somewhere in the range of Mega ohms) or the bell will not ring.The reason for this is because and open circuit has a gap in it (which has high resistance).The short circuit has wires that are crossed and so has a really low resistance.

What is digital ic tester?

This Easy to build PIC based IC tester is very easy to make and highly reliable.This IC tester can successfully check the most of the IC's we are using in our normal project constructions such as TTL,74,74F,CMOS 4000 series.This could be very useful for the professionals as well as hobbyist.

How do you use multitester?

One of the easiest ways to check for faulty devices and parts, is to use a multi-tester, sometimes called a multi-meter. Testing continuity by using the ohm setting will tell you if the connection through the device is complete or if it has opened and is no longer usable. For instance, if you place one of the test leads on one side of a fuse and the other lead on the other side of the fuse, you should show a short circuit or 0 ohms. If your meter shows infinite resistance, the fuse is bad and should be replaced.

Since the problem either lies in the light socket or in the power cable diagnosing the problem requires access to the connections. The most easiest method is using a continuity tester which has two electrodes attached to a digital meter.
