- Here are some homemade DIY automotive electrical testing tools one can make which will come in mighty handy on troublesome wire/component diagnostic efforts.
One is a DIY Power Probe clone.
There's an amp clamp signal booster.
And a bunch of shielded marker and headlight bulbs for circuit load testing.
For a text description version of the electrical diagnostic tools:

I do like that extension cord idea!
great suggestions here bud, and i too have been making various leads just like this for years and never once have i had one fail. wonderful value all around!
Love the extension cord power probe / test leads idea.
Kewl! Thanks!
Love the Current Boosters! I am going to make me a set of those!
Yep, I find them extremely handy.
Wow, this guy is next level..
Glad you found the ideas useful!
Very clever. Tks,
Most welcome!
I like the idea, but am concerned about the uninsulated clips on the far end that could touch. Think I would use banana plugs on that end also, or maybe individual switches for each lead at the output end.
@@paulmonk7820 Sure! Whatever your preferences! You can build and modify it to your personal specifications!
Awesome 👍😎, thanks 👍
Could you explain it to me like I'm a 6 year old. The last one with the extension cord. Show us how to use it please
Hook up the positive and negative battery clamps and then you've got power at the banana clips just like any extension cord... In need of a 5 volt reference for the green third lead? Tap into another working sensor under the hood. Or, have a buck converter in your automotive electrical testing toolkit.
How do you get a 5 volts reference on your 'power probe'
Steal it from another 5 volt reference source under the hood. Or, have a buck converter at-the-ready in your automotive electrical testing kit.
