A shorted motor would read zero ohms. Note, however, that a meg ohm tester is not an appropriate test device to assess if the motor is shorted, because the difference between shorted and "operational" can often be just a few ohms - you need a low resistance test device - not a meg ohm tester.

What is the difference and how to differentiate between neutral and hot wires if both wires have the same color?

If the electrical box is grounded, check with a tester, the "hot" wire will have a voltage to the the grounded box the neutral wire will not. If the box is not grounded, with the breaker supplying the voltage turned off, use a tester on the resistance scale to check for continuity between the wires and a cold water pipe or some other grounded medium. The neutral will have continuity between the wire and a ground the "hot" wire will not.


Can you ground a wall outlet by running a jumper wire from the neutral terminal to the ground screw?

Not correctly , It will show on a tester that it is grounded but you should run a separate ground for it to be properly grounded


How do you Describe the meter readings if a diode is bad?

A: A very low reading in both direction will indicate a shorted diode. A meter is an indicator not a tester keep that in mind

How do you test glow plugs on an power stroke?

connect the ground end of a test light to the pos. side of the battery. now un hook the wires from the glow plugs or unbolt the terminals. after u have done this touch the tester to the glow plug terminals if it lights up it is good do this to all of them if the tester doesn't light up the glow plug is bad.


How do you identify a burnt out motor without meggering?

If the motor is still connected to its electrical supply and it is safe to do so switch it on and check for an odour of burning insulation and or the presence of smoke. A burnt out winding can cause a motor to run very slowly and make a unusual humming noise, if this cannot be achieved safely then make sure the motor main switch is isolated and sniff around any ventilated area of the motor to check for the smell of burning insulation. If you have a circuit tester that will check for continuity then use this after firstly completely isolating the motor from its electrical supply and disconnecting the wiring to the input terminals. You may see and open circuit reading between the live and neutral terminals or a short circuit between one or the other terminal when the tester is connected between the terminals and the metal case of the motor, remember that a circuit tester will read resistance so try the test on the appropriate setting, example; RX10K


How do you test a tps on a 1990 miata?

The TPS on a 1990 is a WOT switch. Using a multimeter set to read resistance, or a continuity tester, check the resistance between the center and bottom terminals of your TPS with engine off and throttle closed completely. You should read continuity (or zero ohms) between those two terminals, and if you manually open the throttle slightly, the continuity should be lost (resistance goes to infinity). A complete test takes more time; the manual states that with a 0.016" feeler gauge between the throttle lever and the throttle stop screw, you should read continuity, which should go away if you put a 0.027" gauge in there. With the throttle fully open ("WOT"), there should be continuity between the top two terminals of the TPS. In between the idle and WOT positions, there should be no continuity between any of the terminals


1983 Chevy inside lights and lighter tested ok with tester but did not light bulbs tested lighter sparked nothing works now any suggestions?

You have a bad fuse or a shorted wire going to the headliner light.


What is the difference between a Tester bottle and a Regular bottle of cologne?

In essence there is no difference between a tester bottle and a regular bottle of cologne. When Cologne is shipped out to a store the manufacturer sends "tester" bottles of the fragrance so that the store has something the customer can sample. The difference between the two lies here, The tester bottle does not come in the nice packaging that the regular fragrance comes in, it is usually in a plain white box marked "tester". Generally the tester bottle will not have a cap either. As for the fragrance and the the volume of product all of that remains the same. i.e. If you get a 3.4 ml bottle of cologne and a 3.4 ml tester bottle you will receive the same product just in slightly different packaging.


What can be tested with a continuity tester?

A continuity tester determines if an electrical path can be established between two points. This is a great tool for mechanics, architects, and electricians.

Why does the Alarm on Mercury Grand Marquis keeps going off?

One explanation for this is that you have a bad wire in your wire harness. go to o' Reillys and buy a wire tester and test the wires in you wiring harness. NO...if you have a keypad on door, water has gotten in and shorted out keypad causing conductivity between keypad numbers. keypad needs replacing. TSB for this.
