Default Any Electricians

Amongst us??

Really hacked off, i bought a power roof kit for my cabby, spent half hour wiring it up to my battery charger sussing out where the wires went, took it to the car bodged wired it up and Eureka my roof was working, so today i stripped the car out threaded all the wire under the carpet, wired it up to my battery charger again to test, and nothing

Would it have blown a relay or something? i checked the nornal fuses and they were fine.

Anyone

get a - circuit tester from maplin only cheep bout £5 9
with the sharp pointed probe on it you can the test the wires
just by inserting the probe stabbing it into the wire saves loads
of time i used to fit car alarms moons ago a tester is worth its weight in gold

hope this helps
