From the Publisher:
The primary aim of this book is to provide a straightforward explanation of general electrical theory and the functioning of basic direct current (DC) electricity within an automobile. It is not necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of electricity - a topic that many books have explored in meticulous detail. Instead, the focus is on imparting a practical working knowledge of electricity that can be applied to diagnose and repair electrical malfunctions in your car or truck.
An in-depth examination of electrical theory is far more complex and cumbersome than the practical "hands-on" approach presented in this book. Therefore, readers who already possess a solid understanding of electricity or electronics may find certain simplifications or shortcuts taken with electrical science. For those less familiar with the subject, Chapter 1 on Ohm's Law offers a concise overview of how 12-volt automotive electrical systems operate. This is followed by Chapter 2 on voltage drop testing, which demonstrates how to apply the knowledge gained in the previous chapter to address real-world automotive problems.
In fact, all the topics covered in this book relate back to the basic theories discussed in Chapters 1 and 2. So, if you find yourself struggling with the more detailed sections on wiring diagrams or electronic fuel injection diagnosis, revisiting these foundational chapters can provide a helpful "electrical theory tune-up" to reinforce the underlying principles.
The rationale behind this approach is that a comprehensive understanding of electrical theory is far more complex and cumbersome than the practical, "hands-on" knowledge required to diagnose and repair automotive electrical systems. While readers with advanced expertise in electricity or electronics may find certain simplifications or shortcuts taken within this book, the primary focus is on equipping the average reader with a working knowledge of how to apply electrical principles to solve real automotive issues.
