Is there a way to specifically test gtr cords that use shorting plugs? I wanna be able to test the shorting plug's switches for intermittents.

You should be able to test cords with shorting plugs in both open and shorted conditions. I's just a question of knowing which indications to expect under which conditions. If you need to see how this will work, I suggest you use a cable with a connector cover removed to see what happens: unscrew the connector cover, plug both ends into the tester, press Reset, then briefly short the tip to the ring connectors where they're soldered, note the light configuration when you do it. Reset, and repeat, with the tip and ring shorted (simulating the switch), briefly remove the short and see which lights change. Intermittent opens from a T-R shorted condition will be more difficult to verify because no tester is designed to detect such a fault! Hope this works for you!

Yes. Keep in mind that it's not an advanced tester. It only tests the pins in sequence to see if each wire is connecting. If a light doesn't show, you have a bad cable. It doesn't test things like capacitance, attenuation, crosstalk, and the like.

I don't think so. It only reads errors that the on-board computer returns. It wouldn't tell you if a coil was shorting, or any other mechanical problems causing a misfire like a bad spark plug or a dirty fuel injector.

I believe (have not tried it) but there is a flat tip screw driver which has a clear cylinder handle which has a fuse in it. I believe this is the voltage tester.

I don't mean to be a smart aleck, but they control whatever function you hook them up to. I was replacing my old pigtail and the wires in the new cable were a perfect match. I used an ohm meter to run the wires and make sure they went to the same pin on the plug as the old ones, and they did. I just had to do a color for color swap over. I was also replacing a connector box on my trailer an missed a small ground wire connection, that really played havoc with my lights. Nothing was working correctly. Once I re-installed that small ground wire all was good.

If u are running a Ls .Its prob a cable activated clutch . Gsr is hyro. I have it in my gsr and have had no problems

I have a 2005 Hyundai, and have the same problem. It's only because the outlets in older cars were meant for cigaret lighters, not for devices. Newer cars have deeper receptacles especially for charging devices, and can handle the longer plugs. This was not a deal breaker for me because I rent cars when I travel.

Mine too - the switch on the shifter only seems to have two contact points - Park and Reverse. I tested this switch with an Ohm meter when I installed the shifter and then again a few weeks ago, thinking I missed something on the first go around. All I have been able to determine is that Park allows the ignition circuit to engage and reverse operates the back up lights. Honestly, I am not real thrilled with my Sports Shifter for this and a few other quality issues (like reverse doesn't freely engage - almost have to ratchet into reverse, Can get "Park" to line up with the indicator but then each gear down is misaligned).Sorry wasn't more help Mine too - the switch on the shifter only seems to have two contact points - Park and Reverse.

Thats odd. I had no such issue. I would have a look on Google and see if there are any forums that show such issues with your car / model. Did you start car before plugging in? What happens then?

I use the socket in the middle console and it works fine. I think you have a defective one.

That doesn't make any sense? And it could be impedence not the meter. Get a wiggy to test out high impedence circuits. Make sure you are selecting the correct voltage type on the wheel! There are two types per selection

Well if you have arc issue you should de energize the circuits and check connections. This device does not check for arcing. If it is an older home I'm guessing the outlets are two prong and not 3 prong which is a requirement for this device. This device checks to see of the circuit is good or bad by measure impedance and voltage drops. It will point out potential problem spots with in your circuits. This device will also test the gfci.

This will only allow you to check the wiring and it will also allow you to introduce a ground fault to test the GFCI. It will not tell you if the GFCI outlet is tripping unnecessarily. If you have a load on the outlet there may be a ground fault that is causing the trip. Some of these outlets are sensitive to inductive load imbalances on motor startups.

There is an ECM on the passenger side interior. Right under a kick-plate behind the door. That is what controls the switching. The best way to test is to put it on a diagnostic computer to see where the fault lies. I've had both go bad so it does happen. That ECM sits in a place where water can get at it at times and rust the connector pins among other problems

Check out youtube for details of particular cars. But in general, you thread the lines to under the dash on 1 side or the other, test the wire bundles at the plugs to see which one is activated by reverse gear, connect the red wire to it. Then connect the black wire to a good ground point anyway nearby.

I have this exact same problem.. I will go try with a shorter smaller gauge cord and report back.

may I suggest that you just tie the cords together? Grab the plugs (already connected) and with both wires together, gently tie a big knot. THe strain will then be on the cords and not on the plug. Save yourself money and time
