    I'm still waiting for Stratmando to answer my question as to what specifically to call the testing light.

    I will be patient and I appreciate it with those who are knowledgeable about such things for ignoring my ignorance!

    Thanks!

    You could buy any 12/24 volt test light to do the job, all auto parts stores and most big box stores carry them.

    Would K-Mart or Menards have something like that? They're just down the street from here.

    Thanks!

    Yes, more than likely, if you Google 12volt test light you can see what they look like.

    The first place where I had the new alternator installed, well they put it on bass awkward! Got stranded a couple more times! Belt was rubbing against an adjusting bolt!

    Decided not to even go back to them to have them correct the problem. Smelled booze and pot at the end of the day at that place.

    Not good...

    Asked a Pastor at one of the churches where I go to help me. Got it towed. Am very pleased with the work done at the import place to where it was towed.

    First place also wanted twice as much for a new air filter.

    So far, so smooth...

    Thanks!

    Yeah.. those can bre really cheap. Harbor Freight has them on sale for 3 or 4 dollars every so often. Less than a replacement 9 volt battery inside would cost. So its not a big investment to have in the house.

    Okay, don't have a Harbor Freight store around here.

    Any other types of stores that might have a digital voltmeter that's inexpensive, please?

    Thanks!
