Welcome
With the introduction of electronic systems and computers into
numerous automotive systems, the do-it-yourself mechanic as well as many professional mechanics have shyed away
from servicing these systems. They perceive electricity as a great mystery; something that they cannot see, smell,
feel or disassemble. Because they don't understand it, the first thing to get blamed when something goes wrong is
the electronics/computers. Actually, these systems are rarely at fault. Instead, it is simple things like poor
connections or poor grounds. Once you understand the basic principles of electricity, troubleshooting
electrical/electronic system problems is quite easy.
Anyone who will be servicing cars today needs to understand
electrical and electronic principles. Not only will we be dealing with electricity on our conventional gasoline
engine vehicles, but even more so on the hybrid and, soon to be introduced, electric automobiles.
My self-study training courses will help you to understand the
basic principles of electricity and how electricity is used in the automobile. You will also be given easy to
understand diagnostic tips/principles. Due to the fact that this material is presented free of charge, don't expect
high tech computer graphics, animations, and interactivity. To do that requires a tremendous amount of time and
resources which would require a high cost to you. If this information is helpful to you, please
consider making a donation. Websites are not free.
As you progress through this training, you will begin to better
understand the need for good service information...especially wiring diagrams. For years I have used Mitchell
Repair manuals. Now you can get the information you need on line at a much lower cost than purchasing a
service manual. Mitchell is now offering this information to "Do-It-Yourself" technicians at an
affordable cost. Be sure to check it out.

You may submit technical questions from the "Members Area". Registration is free.
This is a work in progress, so there may be a few topics not yet
completed. Check back periodically to see what is new.
