Power To Play Voltage Test Meter

It's good to own a test meter that can measure voltage and resistance (to check for continuity in a connector or wire). Even though inexpensive meters can help you troubleshoot basic auto circuits, they just won't have the ruggedness or high-current measurement capabilities. Do not use a test light or inexpensive meter when checking engine computer circuits as these can damage such modules.
