What are the black and red things hanging off a multimeter?
They are called test leads, you would use them to connect the multimeter to the points that are to be tested.
How do you test a capacitor only by using a multimeter and two leads?
You can test a capacitor using a multimeter and two leads by placing the multimeter in ohms mode. It works best with a needle type meter, not a digital meter. Connect the leads to the capacitor and you will notice that the resistance pulses down, and then settles out at infinity. Reverse the leads, and you will notice the same effect, except that the pulse will be larger because the capacitor got charged in the opposite direction. Go back and forth. This won't be apparent for very small capacitors because the pulse is too short. Also, for electrolytic capacitors, they should only be charged in one direction, so you should start by discharging the capacitor and then connecting it in only one direction. Do not reverse the leads in this case. Just discharge and try again to see the effect. Try this for various capacitors. You will notice that the pulse duration is larger for larger capacitance.
How do you correctly test if a circuit is not live?
Use a multimeter and test if there is a voltage drop or current over the wire circuit.
How do you test a thyristor module using multimeter?
You can check if it is shorted, but without coordinating the gate and anode voltages with the cathode, you cannot test a thyrister (SCR) with a multimeter. Check it out of circuit for shorts, then check the circuit, then test it in operation. Anything more advanced will require an oscilloscope.
Assume that the function range switch is on the 20k position and the multimeter displays 1 when the test leads are across an unknown resistor What would most likely cause the meter to display 1?
the function range switch is not set on a high enough scale
How can you test a battery?
You can test a battery by using multimeter. Set the multimeter to the DC voltmeter setting and then place the leads of the multimeter across the leads of the battery. the multimeter will have a readout of the voltage.

How do you test ohm for speaker?
Use a multimeter or digital multimeter and set it to the ohmmeter mode. Put the test leads on the speaker terminals. It won't be perfect, but if it says 1.8 ohms or so then it's a 2 ohm speaker.
Is it possible to test a diode with multimeter?
Yes it is possible to test a diode with a multimeter.
Where can you purchase fluke test leads?
Fluke Test Leads can be purchased at online retailers including Grainger, Test Path, and TransCat. This product can also be purchased at Amazon and eBay.
Where do you put the multimeter leads when you test a Molex connector?
Put the black lead into any of the black connectors on the molex.put the read lead into the yellow, or red lead on the molex.
Why don't i get power to my car stereo?
Who knows? You need to test the circuit with a test light or digital multimeter. It could be as simple as a blown fuse, or it could be a defective car stereo.
Parts of a digital multimeter?
1 x Digital multimeter with LCD Display (the body or main unit) 2 x test leads with attached probes (sometimes removable) - 1 x black negative probe - 1 x red positive probe
How do you test an abs sensor?
To test an abs sensor for a Lexus ES you will need to use a multimeter. The multimeter will determine if the abs sensor works or not.
Why does your 120 outlet measure 49 volts when you test it with a multimeter?
Either the supply or the multimeter is faulty.
How do you test coil pack on 2000 f150 5.4?
It really takes specialized equipment to test them completely. They need to be load or stress tested. You can do basic testing with a digital multimeter. There are values for resistance between leads but it could pass this portion but not the load test. Coils are rated at 100,000 miles. When you start having problems with misses etc, the coil should be replaced.
What is the purpose of an automotive multimeter?
An automotive multimeter, like any multimeter, can be used to test the voltage or current in some kind of circuit. As it is an automotive multimeter it is aimed more towards the used in a car.
