ways you use the power probe III

[goodwrench]

was wondering how people used the various power probe leads and adapters to test things? I have been playing with some combinations, but some real world scenarios would be helpful to figure out how to fully utilize it? like I am tryin to figure where and how the piggy back test leads would be useful? when to use the leads over plugging directly into the unit? what kind of adapters are useful? so to the ones that use these a lot, could you explain some of the ways you use the leads and probes to hook up to stuff?? and what you are testing for? or pictures of hook-ups?

thanks!! Chris

anybody? I tested a relay I had using a tail light bulb as load across the contacts and the power probe to activate the relay and the power to the contacts. worked good, I see a lot of uses for it.. still looking for ideas how to hook up and use this thing..

later!! Chris

I got one to & so far only used it as a continuity tester. Like to know more on how to use it also!

I've used it to test window motors in vehicles, basically test the motor so you can eliminate the motor being an issue, or something on the vehicle's wiring and harness side.

I have actually upgraded to the new Power Probe 4, mainly because of the better screen, and the driver testing. I've used it once so far for the driver testing but many times in resistance tests and voltage tests.
