Continuity vs Load Testing (12VDC circuit)

First in line to dissolve the black magic aura of DC circuitry. Today we break down how to load test a switch (firing button) and how that's different from a continuity check.
Tools and parts used in this video:
Firing button
Klein tools MM300 multimeter
Wizard Devices DSL
12/24 Battery Box
9 bulb load teser (12V bulbs #1141)
Wago Lever Nuts
1 ohm 10W resistor
2 ohm 10W resistor
5-7A handheld load tester

This is why everyone should have the inexpensive Load Pro test leads in their troubleshooting tool kit.

KNOWLEDGEABLE

How are you doing bro? I love your video I thought it was very impressive. It’s it possible for you to share how you build that low tester that is pretty clever, bro thank you.

[@morganguynes8387]

Great job! Can't wait to see the next video.

[@triplepointworkshop5163]

Thank you for the encouragement. We already have a list of electrical topics to tackle. Keep watching and we'll keep making them.

Essentially, an incandescent test bulb 💡 would suffice because it's brightness will depend on the quality of the conductors. Nice video 👍

[@hugoorellana7880]

Really good video. Very helpful.

[@wentzelnel7723]

Very well done and explained..

[@GraditelMacedonia]

I come with same idea but instead fix value of resistance to mount ceramic variable resistor.

[@vicpetrishak7705]

I find in trailer wiring that has been probed with a test light corrosion will later appear , always pull hard on the wire !

[@curtismay8323]

How come you didn't test it with a multimeter in series to see if you drop voltage

How do i load test an ignition coil connector?

[@Srimmy]

Can you please lmk why where I can buy one of those 9 bulb tester box?

[@triplepointworkshop5163]

That 9-bulb tester box is a one-off we built here in the shop. But perhaps would should make a future video on how to make one. Thank you for the comment!

[@nicgeorge07]

Any idea who made that yellow 5A load tester? My Google-Fu has not been able to track one down.

[@triplepointworkshop5163]

Hi! Thanks for the query - that 5A load tester is actually a Sparky original! Your feedback is inspiration for a video of how to make them. Please watch this space!

@@triplepointworkshop5163 Let me know when they are available, I'll be first inline to buy a few.

Do you have the brand and bulb number on that 5 amp bulb ? It smaller than using a head light .

@@billsmith2212 Hi Bill. The bulb was purchased from McMaster-Carr. Part # 1535K92
