And eveything depends on morale.

Older character walking his beagle yesterday in the park got attacked and knocked down.
Got somewhat lucky that some young people realized what was going on and ran over to help.
Cops took didn't show up until after rescue - so we're talking at least 5 to 10 minutes. 1 van.
Their morale is down the toilet, as is much of the cities employees. Its going to get worse before it gets better. :(

I have no idea where there is one here. Thought I heard something early this am about the time he goes to work. Hope she slams him. Littering, tresspassing and stolen services can be on there also if the trash company wants to think it is Waste Management.

Thats good as far as it goes.
Check each terminal (metal part) that they don't back out when you snap the connectors together.
Keep in mind that a continuity check done with an ohmeter only says the two ends are connected. It doesn't reveal if they are only connected by one strand.

Before you connect the battery, keep in mind that every wire loose wire end must be secure. The last thing you want to do is accidently ground the battery positive.

Ok so did that. Everything is hooked where is supposed to be.

I have power to this stud on the new relay, but the others are all dead, with key on or off.

I have no power on my ammeter cables in or out.

You checking this with a voltmeter? Positive probe touching wire, negative probe touching what?

That's a good thread. One I didn't see. Best to leave it and not respond to revive it. I would bet someone would respond and stir the pot and soon it would be in the trash or the N&P. I have seen that happen dozens of times in these forums.

Just a test light for now. One end on the battery, other on the cable end.


I did find power to bulk head. Cleaned up the terminal really good, now power to the ammeter!

It took a lot of work to keep it on an even keel. Dealing with those who have seen a fictional movie version of history is part and parcel of what I used to do. Not so bad. The direct swipes at the US government - that I really never had to deal with to the depth I had to here. Its different in public and in person. And times have changed too. Our protection rangers (now called LE) used to hear that crap a bit more - usually when they writing tickets or putting someone in cuffs.

Awsome Chris.
Test light I think is better than voltmeter for what your doing. A poor connection will light more dimly giving you a clue that its not a good connection.
 
Good Morning! Had a good weekend away. Not much phone signal there so very little online time. Car show Sat was only like a dozen vehicles and 3 were Dusters! The tow truck was my favorite though…

No, electricians have no business sticking their fingers into automotive wiring.im referring to household wiring guys. They use scotch locks and marrettes (wire nuts)
