Troubleshooting with a Test Lamp

Tools Required 

J 36169-A  Fused Jumper Wire. See Special Tools .

IMPORTANT: A fused jumper may not protect solid state components from being damaged.

The J 36169-A  includes small clamp connectors that provide adaptation to most connectors without damage. See Special Tools . This fused jumper wire is supplied with a 20-A fuse which may not be suitable for some circuits. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than the fuse that protects the circuit being tested.

J 35616-200 12-Volt Unpowered Test Lamp

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

The J 35616-200 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 procedures.

When testing for voltage:

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

When testing for ground:

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