🔧 Tired of using resistance or continuity to test circuits? There's a better way.

In this video, we break down how to properly perform a voltage drop test using a voltmeter — and why it's the best method for diagnosing automotive electrical issues dynamically, not just passively.

You’ll learn:
✅ Why voltage drop testing is better than continuity tests
✅ How to set up your voltmeter correctly
✅ A step-by-step live demo with a relay and light bulb circuit
✅ What real voltage readings look like on a healthy battery
✅ The importance of testing with the circuit under load

Perfect for beginner and intermediate techs who want to diagnose accurately and avoid costly mistakes.

⚡ Pro tip: Always test voltage drop with the circuit powered on!
