hook the ground wire to a good ground and pierce the wire you want to check with the tester, if it lights up, it has power, if not it doesnt.

What does it mean when the circuit tester light does not come on when touching the black and white wires?

It could mean two things. The first thing would be that the tester is not working. Test on a circuit that you know to be energized. The second thing causing a tester not to light is that the circuit under test is de energized. When using these types of testers always test the black to white wire and then black to ground wire. If the tester indicates there is a voltage to ground and not the white then the neutral white wire is open somewhere in the circuit.


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 know Which wires are which when installin a stereo?

If you are using a wiring harness they are color coded. Otherwise, get a voltage tester to find the "hot" wire and the memory wire. you will have to trace the speaker wire.

What is it called when a circuit has gaps or breaks?

It is called an open, incomplete, or broken circuit. Circuits might be opened intentionally (using a switch), or unintentionally (breaks in, or disconnected wiring).


How do you fix the tachometer on a 91 Acura Integra?

The tachometer on a 1991 Acura Integra is wired through the dash. To reach the wiring remove the dash console and pull out the tachometer. There the wiring can be worked on using a spark tester to find the bad wire and solder unit to replace the wire.


How do you find phase and neutral in the circuit?

Neutral will be closest to protective earth ground. In the US, neutral is white. we can check using tester ,when tester is connected to phase only lamp of the tester glows and when it is connected to the nuetral the lamp does not glow. another method is, connect the voltmeter to any one of the terminal and ground if the voltmeter shows 110v 0r 220v then it is phase and the other is nuetral.


What is an animal tester?

An animal tester is a person who engages in animal testing, the practice of using animals in scientific experimentation.


Can you replace a 20 amp fuse with a 10 amp fuse?

NO! Using a larger amp fuse defeats the purpose of the fuse to protect the wiring in the circuit. This can cause a fire. Always use the correct amp fuse for that circuit.
