How to Detect Where a Car is Leaking Electricity?
1 Answers
To detect where a car is leaking electricity, follow these steps: 1. Prepare a multimeter, typically set to a 10A range for cars; 2. Open the hood of the vehicle to be tested; 3. Connect the red probe of the adjusted multimeter to the car's grounding wire and the black probe to the negative terminal of the battery; 4. Wait for 30 seconds and read the multimeter's value to determine if there is an electrical leak. A current below 50 milliamperes is normal, but if it exceeds 50 milliamperes, inspect the electrical system for leaks. Car electrical leakage refers to the gradual discharge of the battery while the car is parked, affecting the vehicle's ability to start or causing electrical components to malfunction.
