 Diagnose and Repair Automobile Electrical Systems January 24, 2006
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
I have always been able to fix electrical problems on cars but sometimes at much wasted expense and effort. Tracy Martin's book is simply the best book I have ever read on this subject. It is a "nuts and bolts" book that tells you why and how to test a certain way. Suddenly automotive electrical systems make sense to me. This book will save much wasted effort. My father was an electrical engineer and he figured out electrical problems for me. When he died I had to figure this stuff out for myself and I wish I had paid more attention. Tracy Martins book is great, not only do I recommend it ... if Tracy Martin ever writes another one I will buy that too. Fred Rawls

I normally wouldn't attempt much on an electrical system, but this book took out a great deal of the mystery about how to figure out problems. This was a great find for me. VERY user friendly format and not overwhelming like other books I've looked at. Thanks to the author!
Great Book! November 17, 2005

Wow! I never thought I could learn car electrical repair from one book - but I did! This book is great. Easy to understand & easy to locate information. Very user friendly & laid out well. Good tests for your car, and helps you test your car yourself. Now I don't feel like such an idiot when an electrical malfunction occurs in my car - a good guide & resource! Highly recommend!
 The book worked for testing my alternator! November 16, 2005

I have always had trouble getting my head wrapped around electricity. I am good at taking things apart and getting them back together on cars but electrical stuff always gives me problems. I read just chapters 1 & 2 in the auto electrical book and was surprised at how easy the explanation was of how electicity worked. I have tried some of the tests for the alternator in my car and truck and they really worked. It is a good book for back yard mechanics to work on cars. Glad I bought it.
This is a good book for people that like to fix stuff November 15, 2005

I'm your average "Tim The Tool Man" type -- stuff like fixing cars & bikes comes naturally to me, and I'm even pretty good at fabrication stuff like welding, but when it comes to electricity, I scratch my head, grunt, and hope nothing catches fire.
Tracy Martin's book actually makes a lot of sense to me, and each chapter builds on previous chapters, which is a big help to me. He doesn't assume you know a lot about electricity, but he doesn't speak down either -- just clear and accessable language. I really like how there aren't a bunch of crazy-looking engineering schematics & symbols, instead, he uses really straighforward illustrations. Good photos too.
Everyone from a DIY type to a professional mechanic can learn something from this book.
