We all spent the week practicing the Starting/Charging system test and learning about voltage drops and draws. I learned a little more about what a sytems voltage should be at and where to start troubleshooting on a voltage drop. Alot can be determined on a electrical fault by doing this type of test and doing it properly within 12 minutes. At my Internship I have always performed a parastitic draw by connecting a clanp-on ampmeter to the negative side of the source, but what I didn't realize is that you can connect to either the negative or the positive side of the source and still discover the same readings and results. I still yet to perform a few load tests on a vehicle, I would like to get a bit more experience in that area so that will be my next step this week.
