How to use a bloody multimeter
Hi All ....
I need help .....
I am in the process of changing over car stereos from one car to another prior to trade in ..... so far not so good.
I have managed to located and pair all of the speaker wires by touching them against a 1.5v battery until the speakers cracked ... great .....
Now I need to fund which ones carry the 12V current.
I have found some info from the net which tells me how to determine which wire does what but I need to use a multimeter to find which one is 12V.
After working at Dick Smiths I purchased a multimeter but unfortunately never worked out how to use it ..... I assume that to find the live 12V wire I need to turn the dial to the "V" rating .... do I put it onto 200m, 2000m, 20 or 200? I have the two probes one red and one black, but only I end of wire to test .... do I touch both probes to the exposed end wire or one probe .... and which one?
HELP .....
