## Overview

The Power Probe ECT3000B is a professional-grade 2-piece circuit tracer designed to quickly identify short and open circuits in automotive wiring without dismantling interior panels. Featuring an auto-signal locking receiver and integrated flashlight, it streamlines diagnostics while preserving battery life with an automatic shutoff. Lightweight and battery-powered, it’s a must-have tool for efficient, accurate electrical troubleshooting.

## Description

• The Power Probe ECT3000, a 2-pc circuit tracer, transmits a signal into an isolated circuit (shorted or open) and traces the direction to the problem. • The receiver allows users to see the distance from the wire being traced and the direction to the short. • The auto-signal locking feature eases first-time use and eliminates the need to remove interior trims and carpets. • The integrated flashlight will illuminate the workspace and the automatic 10-minute shut off helps users save battery life.

Review: Must have speciality tool. - After watching several YouTube videos I committed to learning how the probe works. It about 95% accurate probing wise and 100% accurate in finding a open or short circuit. It's also important to lock in on the signal or else you'll be on goose chase. I recommend getting the yellow jacket probe needles although it's not practical for all applications except for cars. As a DIY I've already saved money on shop fees and hours on diagnostic charges.
Review: It works great - An excellent equipment to have at all times with you. So helpful and convenient and it comes in a beautiful hard case kit box.
