Listed here are a couple of reputable sites of some of the Big Guns in the industry. Please take a look. motor.com lists many well known pay per minute help lines as well as some free help lines. On the paid help lines, often you have to be a customer or paid member of their club before they will even talk to you. And the charges per minute add up quickly as you try to explain your electrical problem to them over the phone line as the clock ticks by and the dollars add up.
Often at the free help lines, the only answer you receive is to bring your vehicle in to their shop so that they can perform diagnostic tests (and they hand you the bill).

--Very nice site,. I enjoyed the tips. I am a retired airline mechanic and appreciate your knowledge of the electrical systems. I agree most mechanics are unfamiliar with auto electrical and electronics. I read some of the auto repair forums on the internet and really chuckle at the answers some give about auto electrical repair. Mention a volt ohm meter and they say what! Thanks,
