great of direct opens. not so great for pinched wires or intermittent faults. always best to do resistance checks while wiggling the harness at various locations.
True however you don't know the exact location of the problem in the wiring... Meaning that even if you wiggle wiring many times you don't know where, this helps allot getting a more precise location and wiggling same time.. You should check ohm resistance and wiggle it in general you might get lucky to break the circuit and same time use this Example you have harness that are behind dashboard... Can't wiggle them easily enough, mouse might have eaten it, you would need to take dashboard out, with this tool only cluster and radio out and you can find it precisely...
Looks like the wire was cut. But also demonstrates that the tool works. I'm skeptical on how accurate this is when there is a small break in the wire but the insulation is still intact. I've found several wiring problems after hours of looking that no tool would pin point.
It makes the wire into an antenna - the insulation doesn't help/hinder with radiation from the wire. I think partial breaks or breaks that only open up at certain angles will be a pain though :)
French cars used to be famous for corroded copper wires that were invisible. Slightly stretching the wire as you went along was the easiest way to fine them. We just replaced the whole engine loom as you could gaurentee it would fail again elsewhere. The French wiring failed because their manufacting process allowed oxygen into the copper.
Greetings: Ujunk so entertaining. In reading these comments; Of the many, it seems most most have little or no electronics / electrical knowledge, far less of the tool. Many of my repairs R that from most who think they know something, yet prove 2 have little respect and knowledge of the task. Those that have the overpriced toys, help my business.
That tool doesn't work all that great unless you have a obvious break or short. For an open it's not all that great. Instructions don't even say if the power needs to be cut or not... Either way it is hit or miss...

Check for voltage drop
awesome mechanic& job.
Dang now that’s a good tool
So far ive only seen tutorials in open area access. Never in the cabin , under dash.
That would be too much work
Its not like it stops working but its pretty hard to hold a camera under a dash to demonstrate how an antenna works
Just got mines yesterday, so stoked
How do u use it on short?😊
It's like a telephone line toner to find a break in the line.
I have it and I love it really great tool to have
Me puedes dar la información donde lo puedo conseguir gracias

This tool can possible to connect check positive + wire and can signal wire can connect +B
I'm in south africa, can I get one here too ?
Faster then just doing an overlay the the sensor/part back to the module?🤔
Let me borrow yours lol I’ve been chasing a wire on this minivan for three months
Great tool, but the problem that I have is the receiver too big if only the antenna be longer & flexible
Whats thr name of that tool?
you can find similar tools for 15% the cost of this thing. it's a bit overpriced just because it has the "power probe" name on it.

Did you unplug the computer to keep from shorting it out?
You have to know the wiring and disconnect both ends because the tool inputs a voltage and can damage control units.
Greetings: The tool outputs insignificant current. Therefore it cannot "short" components. However, it is recommended 2 use it open-ended.

I thought the same thing untill I figured out how to lock the signal in. The instructions don't really explain this well.
An expensive tone generator.
