How to Test for Continuity in an Electrical Circuit Using a Multimeter | Tech Tip 31

Knowing how to test for a complete circuit is extremely useful when it comes to automobile wiring, fuse testing, and fault finding. As cars have progressed through the years, so have the complexity of the electrical systems in them, & whether you're a fan of this or not, there's no escaping the spaghetti junction of wiring that hides under the bonnet and behind the dash of newer cars. Should you need to check or make changes to this system, how can you be sure you're working on the correct wires?? The answer is pretty simple if you get yourself a cheap multimeter and use the correct settings. Here's how.

I just want you to know, I was booing that joke at the start of the video.

[leebrono]

Finally, a video about multi meter basics that is actually clear and simple.
thanks

Wow, I went through 4 other videos just find a simple explanation of continuity like this. 👍

[TadTheTinker]

I liked this video just for the Borg reference! The simple, concise and easy explanation was a colossal bonus. Now to fix my dryer!! LOL

Thank you!!! for this great video. Straight forward to follow on the basics of how to use a Multimeter Voltage Tester. Your information is free and invaluable BIG THANK YOU.

I'm a complete novis with car electrics and cars. However, I built up confidence to install 2 Filters ( Cabin and Air) myself thanks you amazing people on YouTube like your good self.

Having car AirCon problems so plan on testing AirCon components (Fuse, Relay, Resistor, Blower Motor Fan) for Voltage.

Thank you so much for staying on point. I am sure you will get that MX5 sorted out just as quick.

The information helped me figure out cherry switches and how to check if their working or not so I do appreciate the help.

This was so easy to follow! Absolutely fantastic tutorial! Damn right I am going to subscribe

"Resistance is futile" 🤦🤦🤦
Well, Picard and 7of9 resisted!
Thanks for the video, simple to follow and it solved my problem!

[austinharding]

Super helpful video thank you so much finally involve me your bid tutorial that I can understand and actually worked with by the way i paused you at 6:22 and you look faded as f***😅

[radupopescu]

Liked the joke at the beginning, however, I would have said: "Resistance is fusile" =D

[WhiteoutMonster]

Mine just says OL (overload) switching it to that. Thats without even touching anything.

[melancholypuppy]

Will.i.get different results by using the continuity symbol instead of ohms

[insanity_squirrel]

I have two multimeters and both show 1 no matter what I test them on, even touching each other.. what's wrong here?? Its driving me mad...

[SDphilly]

you was very CLEAR very understanding
THANKS

[NiMareQ]

What does the number mean otherwise? Like if I get 500.

[SAVORSKI]

What would happen if you're looking for the break would you have to do all of them to prove they have no break?

Why do you have to disconnect when checking resistance or ohms

[trentglover]

:25 resistance is futile rings in my head because it’s right

[mrlaugh]

Mine has 16 is it fine like when I touch the negative and positive
