DON'T OVERLOOK THE MOST CRITICAL AREA OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - THE CHARGING SYSTEM!
Every vehicle that comes in the shop has at least one battery, two major ground circuits and a generator (alternator) charging system that operates all electrical and electronic circuits on the vehicle. A component failure or a bad connection in one of these essential electrical circuits could have a profoundly negative affect on a vehicle's overall electrical system, impair engine performance and overall drivability!
Problems in a vehicle's primary electrical system (generator/battery network) are often overlooked and seldom tested properly resulting in wasted man hours and unnecessary parts changing that does not resolve the drivability problem. Problems can be quickly identified and corrected but should never be overlooked because of failure to test the circuit properly. It takes less than 5 minutes with a little practice to complete this quick series of electrical tests. Many electrical problems are discovered before all tests are completed which saves even more time.
FIRST THINGS FIRST-Pro (Single-Battery 12V System)
Every vehicle that comes in the shop has at least one battery, two major ground circuits and a generator (alternator) charging system that operates all electrical and electronic circuits on the vehicle. A component failure or a bad connection in one of these essential electrical components or circuits could have a profoundly negative affect on a vehicle's overall electrical system, engine performance and overall drivability!
The "Pro" version is a laminated flipchart that tests a single battery 14V electrical system version with the primary electrical system connections clearly shown. The DMM test leads are shown connected to the vehicle for each test measurement step which is explained and the correct DMM reading is shown in the DMM's display.
The test steps, 1, 2, 3, etc., and the illustration for each test step along with the text explaining each test step includes what to check if the DMM reading is too high or too low. The 14 test steps can be completed in less than 5 minutes with a little practice.

FIRST THINGS FIRST-2 (Dual-Battery 12V System)
The FIRST THINGS FIRST-2 version is a laminated flip-chart for testing a dual battery 14V electrical system with the primary electrical system connections clearly shown. The "FIRST THINGS FIRST-2" version is for testing a dual battery 12V electrical system with the primary electrical system connections clearly shown. The DMM test leads connect to the vehicle for each test measurement step which is explained and the correct DMM reading is shown in the DMM's display.
The test step, 1, 2, 3, etc., and the illustration for that test step along with the text explaining each test step includes what to check if the DMM reading is too high or too low. The 18 test steps can be completed in less than 5 minutes with a little practice.
