Also, if the throttle is not connected properly it will show and
error message. If it is set properly there is about 150 ohms of
resistance necessary to control the throttle.
Check your total voltage and that the manual disconnect is
set properly too. You might want to make a list of these items
for the person doing the check.
The trickiest part we thought was connecting the 12 volt
wiring necessary to run all of the on board components of
your car. This is an area that any garage mechanic will be
able to help you with easily. Check all of the fuses for correct
installation.
The e-meter needs to have the high and low voltage leads
hooked up properly too. Just use the factory manual for start
up procedure of this device which monitors your on board
electrical and charging system.
Once you get the meter working it will tell you voltage and
amps being used.
The Light Bulb Test
The final test involves wiring a 100 watt light bulb to the
positive lead of the batteries in line with the circuit. Just take
an extension cord and wire a light socket in it or a trouble
light will work fine.
If the bulb burns bright and then goes out everything is fine
after you turn on the switch. The whole idea of the light bulb
test is that if there is a short in the system it will take the
current and not harm the systems in your motor at all.
Damaging a light bulb is no big deal, but your motor...
