ES ELECTRONIC SPECIALTIES 182 Fundamental Electrical Troubleshooting Book

I'm not a professional auto technician, rather someone with a keen interest and I've been looking to increase my knowledge in terms of electrical diagnostics rather than simply relying on a fault code so I purchased this book. When I first opened the book I was quite surprised at how many contents pages there were until I started looking into how the book is broken down and referenced and then it made sense, everything is broken down as much as possible so you can jump right to that section if you want to without reading all of the underlying theory behind it. Once I read through the first 20 pages or so I couldn't help but notice how laid back the writing style is, the book and by extension the author isn't trying to make the reader believe they're the best at automotive diagnostics, just explain what process works for them and the reasoning behind it. While this book won't be for everyone, I think anyone who has a genuine interest in the subject matter should read the book, you may possibly learn something and if not it's a good read anyway.

Excellent.

I was not sure when the book came to undo it or send it back as I read the fail book review I will say it has some cartoon drawings I have been a mechanic for May years but automotive electronics have been some thing that has scared me for some years I have been trying to get a book the tells you how to test like battery voltage drop as most don't tell you how to do a voltage drop test and for the load pro it has helped save time with finding shorts

Amazing book. Everything was explained so simply. I'm not a mechanic and still found the book easy to understand and remember the concepts.

Mycket bra bok. Skall jag kritisera något så är det papperskvaliteten, något tunna sidor.

Well written book and good explanations. taught me some nice stuff. A quarter of the book is advertising though.

This book came recommended to me as a resource to help me troubleshoot 12 & 24V circuits on a bus conversion motorhome. I was not disappointed. I have some familiarity with basics of electricity (both from school and hobbies) but this book provided practical vehicle troubleshooting techniques and mindset. The author obviously knows what he is talking about and has extensive experience both as a technician and teacher, so the book was clear, concise, and to the point. It was easy to read, almost comic book in style, but not insultingly so. There was some marketing of his other product which was the Load Pro test leads. I was initially turned off by this but after weighing the pros and cons decided to buy that as well. Should have purchased both as a package. For what it's worth, the author apparently is no longer affiliated with his own invention, probably because he is more of a technician and inventor than a salesman and the inevitable controversy that comes from good ideas and success. That's too bad because I would have liked him to receive more of a reward for his work, but hopefully he is making a reasonable living from his contribution to automotive electrical troubleshooting science. Dan Sullivan also offers (or offered) in person training and practice kits, for which this book is the 'textbook'. They are out of my price range so this book got me on the right track and his YouTube & Vimeo videos will have to fill in the rest.

Happy to get this! Been debating when to buy but finally just did it. So informative and love the pictures in all the small tips. Great book!
