Continuity Test

Systematic Troubleshooting: Continuity Test:

To perform a continuity test, first disconnect the car battery. Then, while holding the leads together, adjust the ohmmeter to read zero. Connect the ohmmeter leads to connector or terminals at either end of the circuit's suspected problem area. The ohmmeter will show the resistance across that part of the circuit. This test can also be performed with a self-powered test light.
