    This guy should be inducted into the ATEE automotive teachers of electrical engineers Hall of Fame because he is the best of any who even tried to teach the theory of voltage drop Justin Miller I thought at the time with his trainer board does an exceptional job but this Master Meier guy has a way of really letting you understand the voltage drop thing because he does a few different videos on the same topic to make sure you understand along with great graphics on screen with explanation. Thanks A LOT PETE YOUR A GREAT MAN with a special skill of teaching that very few people are capable of doing. THANKS MR MEIER

    Pete,
    I could sit in a class with you teaching and
    * Never get bored, and..
    * Knowing at the end of the day I was able to learn and retain the information because of your style of teaching.
    I am amazed you don't have more subscribers.
    Always looking forward to the next video.
    Happy holidays to you and your family.

    At 21:00, when you said, "...you're going to have that 'Ah-ha!' moment, and this is all going to seem so simple to you...", I had that lightbulb finally turn on in my head whenever I went to school for HVAC. For years, I had read countless books, and watched countless RUclips videos about Electrical Theory. But I could never fully grasp the entire concept of what Potential Difference was.
    And believe it or not, it wasn't even my instructor at school who was teaching me whenever it all finally hit me; it was a RUclips video that I had watched!
    Thank someone above for RUclips! Your videos are just as great and informative as the one mentioned above!
    Please don't quit making these videos; they truly are a blessing to some people, such as myself.

    Pete, thank you for covering this topic. I taught for ACDelco and this was EL-3, which I encouraged techs to bring their own meters. At the dealer, confirm the concern, check all electrical items, but creates a roadmap to the problem. Starting like you said the health of the electrical system at battery, loads on-engine off, I checked drops from battery to chassis, engine and alternator. I always tell the DIYer to add a nice ground from the end housing of the alt. to the engine as this is where negative is created. Paint, grease, loose on their restoration of uncle Jakes Mustang, Chevelle or Charger creates "Problems" when repairing or installing wiring as it is a hundred+ individual circuits protected by fuses that some single fuse protects 3, 4 circuits. Using an amp clamp to size a fuse, use "Star" washers on grounds + dielectric grease to protect that connection. But most find it hard to think new wire, new connectors, switches all have my minor losses of voltage across them.
    Today, digital meter are better and lower priced compared to other equipment. But Red or Blk, it shows a (-) negative symbol but the same reading.
    How to I link this video in a comment section when in this topic? Many are visual learners and can grasp the idea better by watching!

    1. Check the fuse and battery.
    2. Check for broken wires, loose or corroded connections. Unplug and re-plug. This rubs tin oxide coating off tin coating on the connections.
    3. Check grounds.
