Visual Inspection

One of the most important checks, which must be performed before any diagnostic activities, is a careful visual inspection of suspected wiring and components. This can often lead to fixing a problem without further steps. Inspect the battery hydrometer "green eye" to assure the battery is not discharged. Inspect all electrical circuits for pinches, cuts, or disconnects. This visual inspection is a very important step and must be done carefully and thoroughly. Refer to ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSIS for component and connector location illustrations.
