Two Clips (So you can clip onto things) One on each end of the wire.
One "12 volt automotive test light" (Any auto parts store or department)
How to test.
The light has a wire with a clip (Like the ones you put on the wire coil) Start at the battery Clip to Negative tip to positive LIGHT BRIGHT good. Light dark.. Check to make sure the bulb is properly seated.. You might check on a known good battery.. (I often need to re-seat) Light still dark after testing bright on a good battery.. Or dim.. You battery shot. (That was easy)
Assuming good at every point from here on
Move clip to any NOT PAINTED body part.> Still bright.. Good.
Move tip out along the positive wire.. Follow the wire to it's other end and test both sides of whatever is there.. NOTE if you can not find a good ground.. That's what the coil of wire is for (Use it to extend teh test lead on the test light back to a known good ground)
When you find something that is BRIGHT on one end or side and DARK on the other.. Problem found.
