thanks for the Info. Do you have a pic of you wonder tool? I would like to make one for myself. Its cool to have tools that no one has. ya thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Be damn careful if you plan on ever applying power or ground into a wire. I have heard and seen many many problems including starting a vehicle and it never shutting off (blew the ecu) until the battery AND alternator where disconnected, bcm blowing up, etc... Basically I would NEVER recommend getting a power probe.Certified Security Specialist

Always check info with a digital multimeter.

I promise to be good.

Tell Darwin I sent you.

I've been sick lately, sorry I won't be on much.

This is the key.....If you DON"T know....don't use a power probe (not for the newbe) if you are a skilled proffesional, a power probe is a GREAT TOOL.  AND YES, I have one, and use it, and love it!

I use a $4 test light from walmart. Works awesome. My other tester is a fluke meter. Mike
