Tools Required 

J 34142-B  12 V Unpowered Test Lamp

CAUTION: Do not insert test equipment probes into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal can cause a poor connection, which can result in system failures. Always use the J 35616-A Connector Test Adapter Kit or the J 42675 Flat Wire Probe Adapter Kit in order to frontprobe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes as they can damage terminals and cause incorrect measurements.

A test lamp can simply and quickly test a low impedance circuit for voltage.

The J 34142-B  is Micro-Pack compatible and comprised of a 12-volt light bulb with an attached pair of leads.

To properly operate this tool use the following procedure.

  1. Attach one lead to ground.
  2. Touch the other lead to various point along the circuit where voltage should be present.
  3. When the bulb illuminates, there is voltage at the point being tested.
