I can't even BEGIN to tell you how happy I am to have found this video. I've been looking all over the internet to find ANYTHING that not only shows you how to use it, but explains why you put it on the settings that you do, AND what the readings should be. Trying to pick up a little here and a little there was driving me crazy. I can honestly say that I understand the BASICS of how to use my multimeter. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

Im a decently handy guy, but ive always struggled with electrical circuits and how to test. There are some REALLY good points made in here - well done guys.

Same here

I use a mulitmeter so seldom that I have to stop and think twice about it each time I use it. These are good refresher tips for me regarding a very useful tool.

Do you have a video that demonstrates how to check for a parasitic draw on an automotive battery is an automotive battery from an older vehicle 72 cutlass to be specific non computer

The absolute best video I’ve found for the novice with a multimeter! Well done!

What a great video! Exactly what I need while working on my Jeep. I love the simple explanations and the real world issue troubleshooting.

Thank you, Mr Matt Hagerty. I watched your video twice, and sincerely appreciate your clear description and teaching method. I carefully read through the manual upon purchasing my initial multimeter. A refresher course with a clear demonstration by an expert cannot be matched. Many thanks, and I wish you & your family good health throughout the high risk threat of Covid19.

Videos like this one are one of the best parts of KZread. They save hours of time and can be constantly rewatched to get answers to specific questions.

Valuable information to someone like me who's working on my SUV to bring it to life after 4 years of sitting on the driveway. Thank you so much and I subscribed

I really enjoyed (and learned a lot) from the diagnostic part of the video towards the end. The step-by-step process for finding the root cause was explained very well. Thank you!

This was such a massive help in learning about how a multimeter works. Please do more of these types of videos!!

Very good information if you are a car guy or hobbyist like myself it's very important to learn the multimeter I learned it pretty good and it helped me a whole lot putting the whole electrical system together for my 67 Firebird love you guys I Hagerty keep up the great job

Thanks so much for this video. I am a complete novice and this helped me quickly get up to speed for the task I needed to do.

I have had one of these for over 10 years and never knew how it worked, until now that is, Thanks for the brilliant video 👍

Great tutorial! I love how you demonstrated use-cases for troubleshooting after describing the basic functions.

Last time I used a multimeter was back in middle school, so this was a very useful refresher. Got some nasty DIY wiring to clear up in my engine bay.

Well done and very helpful. Thank you!!

Very helpful video. Thank you!!

Fantastic Video. I'm a DIY kind of backyard mechanic and pretty knowledgeable about numerous aspects of cars but I was always a little unsure of the electrical side of things and especially on how to test and probe for electrical issues. You made the information as easy as pie. Great job and I really appreciate it.

I like this vid, it helps me a lot.

Good video> Thanks

Good job guys.

I'm a mechanical engineer, but for whatever reason I struggled with circuits through college, and haven't needed to touch a mutlimeter or a circuit in 3.5 years. Excellent refresher, trying to diagnose why my truck won't start, problem is no power to fuel pump after full engine rebuild. Just got to figure out WHERE.

Thank you

great video. thankyou for the lesson

This is a great video. I'd like to see a follow up video that details real world situations with corrosion on bulb sockets. It would be great to see how to measure resistance in a socket that is corroded that explains how to troubleshoot older wiring that might be susceptible to corrosion. An explanation of resistance metering in more detail would be helpful for the DIY crowd that is trying to determine why, for example, a turn signal bulb is working but flashing faster than the other side of the car. Measuring resistance would be a way to determine that the circuit can flow electricity via amps and voltage yet resistance is higher than normal which might be the cause of why the turn signal circuit is behaving erratically. This just happened to me last week and I spent hours learning about it when I bet one of these awesome simple videos would detail a more real-world scenario. I can't say enough how much I learn from these Hagerty DIY videos. Thank you very much!

We have a few more videos focused on electrical components coming out soon. Stay tuned!

Very clear

Thank you.

Well done

Brilliant

continuity is also a great way to test a broken load...or switch...i always use it to check is my wires are going (+) positive and coming back (-) negative...before i hook up my 12v supply...you can also check which wires go to which switch if you have 3 wires on a 2 way switch...so you know which switch turns on the flow in the wire...

Great common-sense explanation!!

Super helpfull

It turned out that the aftermarket air horn in my 2000 Ford Ranger XLT was not working due to simple corrosion of the horn’s terminals and the power wire to which they are connected. A quick cleaning using an automotive battery terminal post wire brush was the quick and easy fix for me to once again hear that sweet (but sometimes annoying!) ‘Wah wah’ sound emanate from my trusty light duty toy truck.

Thanks for the video. Does this work on led break light kit?

Using the meter's frequency setting for measuring revs would be a useful video.
