Thanks for taking the time to detail the fundamentals in such an easy-to-digest way. Much appreciated!PDGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15755017673262359024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649349012503946628.post-14840626799274255292008-07-26T07:10:00.000-07:002008-07-26T07:10:00.000-07:00I understand.

I will resume the wiring project probably next week.

I bought a Blue Sea fuse block this afternoon and Googled 'fuse block wiring' to leartn how to wire it up. Your article came up and is perfect. I think I could accomplish this task if you'd finish he story. You left off the description of the step by step instructions. My little elves have nowhere to go. Could you post the end of he story and thus complete the circuit?<BR/>Fellow Strom ownerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649349012503946628.post-53829494159173256692008-07-14T00:40:00.000-07:002008-07-14T00:40:00.000-07:00It all looks good, Bt.

Ya done good.<BR/><BR/>As far as the practicality of troubleshooting (old phrase for 'diagnose' from $8/hr shop labor days), Harley-Davidson allows .2 hr (12 min) to find any one circuit problem, the cheap bastards. You're either good at it or you eat it.<BR/><BR/>One little thing: when I'm just going to test live circuits for voltage/no voltage, my several VOMs stay in the toolbox and I just use a test light. If you have to know exact values or are testing a batteryless system (there are test lights for that that have their own battery), the meters are good.<BR/><BR/>I knew a real old-school guy once who was a whiz at electrics and just used a length of wire. One end on 'hot', brush 'ground' with the other end. Sparks=voltage.Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772126106416366135noreply@blogger.com
