Use Multimeter To Test Ground On Car

[@fatsog123]

People just want to know which setting you test on with an ordinary meter.

[@linuxxxunil]

highly appreciate the videos. I'm no electronics guy or mechanic for that matter but have an interest. currently troubleshooting why headlights keep burning out. and i let the ads play all the way thru for videos that I can appreciate.

[@ThatsToughTV]

How can you tell there's a short? What number should you look at to know its a good ground

[@Grayback1973]

Thanks for all of your help.My system is fully installed and I have zero engine noise.I have other problems though that are not related to wiring,etc.

[@drummerben04]

Really straight to the point and easy to follow, unlike other commenters this helped me tremendously.

[@dial2fast]

You are correct, it's a Fluke AC89

[@Kirbythediver]

What kind of toaster did you use to film this video? I'm appliance shopping

[@josefdoesthings]

Yeah what a piece of sh!t

[@gregorychan7053]

1. We don't care about the test light since the title of the video is "how to test using multimeter" 2. You don't even mention what setting to set the meter to. 3. Don't waste your time watching this video because it is not helpful at all.

[@Unknown-hl7sb]

Greg Chan he said what it's set to but it would like he said I set the meter to read "mmpeanuts here" he said the word a couple times but I don't think I've ever heard that word lol

[@zenkiev4486]

Unknown LMaO. Mmpeanuts

[@RaulTM23]

Unknown The word he is pronouncing w a strange accent plus poor sound quality is IMPEDANCE ... to find the proper ground you have to measure IMPEDANCE aka measuring the resistance (unit ohms). Lol “mm-peanuts”

[@ucscmike]

I think the special automotive wire tool that he used was the Fluke AC89.

[@dakotaalexander1880]

thank you i couldnt hear crap.;)

[@timkapeller6948]

I dont understand what you were looking for when checking ground? You held leads together and said you saw a break or whatever..tell us exactly what numbers we're looking for

[@michaelcallaway6962]

Did you film this with a webcam from 1995?

[@Bjustinmorton89]

Windows 98, mmkay.

[@BrakelightWarranty]

What's the best way to check ground resistance for a aftermarket amp install when the battery is all the way up front amd amp ia in the rear ?

[@dial2fast]

Try to locate a factory ground bolt. Usually there is one by the tail light area. If not, find a bolt such as by the seatbelt to check resistance between those points and your aftermarket amp's ground.

[@BrakelightWarranty]

dial2fast that is what I'll try later today. Thank for replying! Some have said to use the factory ground bolt, any thoughts?

[@dial2fast]

Joe Ramos The truth is you don't know whether a bolt in the back of the car is a good ground connection back to the battery by looking at it. That's because the whole car is welded and glued together so some panels are better grounded than others. You can always temporarily run a piece of wire from the batteries negative terminal to the back to connect to the multimeter. Then using the other probe, put it on the bolt or panel you are testing and check for resistance. Have a look at my other video here which may help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHS9lnWubZmNfLs

[@hassemsadiq]

Hi how do you test for reverse light ground

[@samc5002]

Why did you put one lead to the negative of the battery and the other on the body of the car?

[@TheRealJakeRyanMusic]

Check for a proper ground

[@effsixteenblock50]

When you do the actual test for ground, it would be helpful if you told us what the output of the multimeter is supposed to say. It would also be helpful if you told us what impedance range you set the multimeter to before beginning the test.

[@dial2fast]

Hi, I have just finished making 3 new and improved videos on using a multimeter to test voltages and ground on a vehicle. You can click on this link to see the first of three videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3q9hqmKrrR6d80

[@kickemassicus]

Took the words right outta my mouth, this guy just wanted to show us his toys basically

[@crawfsta20000]

4:30 mins wasted

[@drummerben04]

Folks, you're measuring ohms/resistance.

[@HalleHamar]

This video doesn't help us noobies...

[@tubetime39]

he admitted it was a bad video and didn't give proper info and after 9+ years the video is still wasting people's time. He also said you can go check out 2 or 3 other (of his) video's to get the information needed instead of telling the commentor the needed info. What a crock of bs

[@jordanlevibutton]

You really like to say "Okay" huh?

[@Bjustinmorton89]

Mmkay

[@artsofancientwisdom]

You talk too much. You didn't mention the name of the wire pinching tool.

[@samrecord]

What a waste of time. Just show the instructions. Which you didn't even include. You just explain what it does and why it's needed but not how

[@Grayback1973]

Hey,quick question for you.If you check the voltage on a circuit(like an amplifier)and it reads 12.7ish does that mean that the ground is good?In other words,is that another way to check for ground besides measuring resistance?....Thanks for your quick responses thusfar.

[@dial2fast]

Check the voltage direct at battery, and check voltage direct at the power wire at the amplifier. It should be the same if you use a heavy gauge wire.

[@Grayback1973]

dial2fast Thanks Bud!

[@tonycervantes4816]

You don't show nothing. Nahh poor video Make one clear and explain nice

[@Bjustinmorton89]

Your absolutely killing me, okay. With the mmkay

[@BeatsByThePound]

You are worrying me with that battery right there 😆 ⚡️

[@johnhancock440]

Get to the point

[@tdg911]

ok? ok? ok? ok? ok? ok? ok? ok okok ? ok? /sigh
