How to use Multimeter

Today my video is on how to use a multimeter - OHM meter.  I usually buy from Harbor Freight for $5.00. All have the same idea. Radio shack, Kmart, Sears, Home Depot, Lowe's, will have this available . Each store price will vary.  I am a real service tech, I break mine or most of the time I leave at my service account. I like the harbor freight price on multimeter tools.
This  tool is one of the most important tools for a person to have. I will teach you today how to use an ohm meter to tell if a part is bad or good. A multimeter is an instrument used to check for AC or DC voltages, resistance or continuity of electrical components and small amounts of current in circuits. This instrument will let you check to see if there is voltage present on a circuit, etc.

Lets first start with how to read a meter (multimeter).  The selector switch -center knob allows changing the function (volts, ohms, amps) and scale (x1, x10, etc.) of the meter.

Now you have an idea, of how to use a meter. Lets get started on testing some parts.
