Four Types of Electrical Problems




Open Circuit- when a circuit has a break in
continuity.
Short Circuit- is a current path that is unwanted,
causes burnt wires and parts.
Grounded Circuit- short that are directed to
ground
Excessive resistance- corrosion causes less
power to go through the conducted and it also
picks up heat.

Wipers and Washers



Check the fuse first
Check the washer for fluid
Check the lines and nozzles for blockage.
Horns




Always check the fuse first
Check the relay
Check for voltage at horn and check for a good
ground
You an use a jumper wire to the battery to find
out if a horn is good.
Horns




Check the fuse first
You can use a jumper wire to the battery to test the
horn
Check the horn’s ground
They are easier to diagnose if there are multiple horns
