When the switch is on there is 12.2 volts when you crank it is only 0.4 volts in the system?

What system? Some circuits go to 0 volts when cranking. If you are reading voltage at the battery, then the battery is dead.

Can you use an American light switch but in the UK using the British system for wiring?
No, the common American light switch is only rated for a maximum of 125 volts.
Is there a safety system that shuts down the engine when the spark plugs go out on a 1995 Ranger?
no... no spark???? module, crank sensor??? but no such saftey system. only on fuel, enertia switch
Will a starter crank but not start if the relay switch is bad?
Usually when a starter solenoid/relay switch is bad, you will hear only a click and the starter will not spin (crank).
Why am I only getting 1.5 volts max to the rear window defogger when I should be getting 6 volts I have 12 volts going into the def. switch and 6 volts leaving the switch.?
lol. 12v in, only 6 out. looks like your switch is eating 6 volts. Get that out of there. then the other volt drops should come into check. You should only have a .5v total volt drop in the whole circuit; after that problems start to pop up.
How can a car battery be so strong when it only has 12 volts just like some toys?
Even though the battery is 12 volts, look at the size difference. It has low internal resistance and can deliver 300 amperes to crank a car.
If a 240 volt system is only drawing 12 volts what is the probably wrong?
Compressor locked
Would a neutral safety switch keep your A ford explorer from starting up?
Not only would the safety switch keep the engine from starting up, the starter would make no attempt to crank the engine over.
Your 1995 tercel brake light won't come on and it is not the bulb what can it be?
Only three major components in the brake light system: Fuse, Switch, bulb. Fuse is in the main interior panel just above the hood release. Switch is part of the pedal assembly under the dash. At the bare minimum you will need a twelve volt test light or meter to check for voltage at each of these components. You should have power through the fuse to one side of the switch at all times. When the brake is depressed, the switch closes and 12V should appear on the other side of the switch as well. If both those checks are good, move to the build and look for twelve volts at the bulb when the pedal is depressed. If twelve volts appears on both sides of the bulb you have a broken ground wire. If no twelve volts is present you have a break in the harness from the switch to the bulb.
How powerful of an alternator and a capacitor would be needed to run a 6000W Subwoofer system in a 1999 Dodge Intrepid?
6000 watts divided by 14.2 volts (12 volt car system operates near 14.2 volts), gives you 422 amps. You would need 4 alternators rated at 110 amps each to make 6000 watts of power at 12 volts. If the system were 24 volts, you would only need 2.
How do you make a 6 volt battery into a 12 volts?
That is Impossible. You can however make two 6 volt batteries into a 12 volt system by wiring the two 6 volts batteries in Series. You will then have an output voltage of 12 volts but the amperes will only be what one of the batteries have, In other words the volts will double but the amps will stay the same as if you only had 1 battery connected.
Is a crank sensor a voltage generating sensor?
In some setups a crank angle sensor can be a voltage generating (inductive) type sensor although in most cases they are a hall effect type sensor, which means they have a supply voltage, an earth as well as a signal wire which goes to the pcm.. but there are hall effect crank angle sensors which only incorporate two wires, a supply voltage of 5 volts and an earth, but the supply voltage wire is also the signal wire. The way this system operates is as follows, the PCM sends out a reference voltage from the PCM of 5 volts to the crank angle sensor, when the sensor comes into contact with one of the teeth on the tone wheel the voltage is earthed, as the tone wheel continues to turn the earth disappears leaving 5 volts of power, the frequency of this occuring (as well as striking number 1 TDC on the tone wheel) is the way the PCM determines engine RPM
Is there a kill switch in a 1998 intrigue?
Only the factory PassLock / PassKey security system.
