Yeah, sometime color coding is not enough, at least in telecom stuff where it's possible to have a hundred wires. Sometime it's impractical to try and have leads for an ohmmeter at each end.
I've sort of wanted a tone generator for my 'work' toolbox but never had to use one enough to justify it. I never really thought about using it for car wiring. Maybe I can justify one now. :-) -Dave -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Nasta Sent: Tuesday, April 26, 2005 11:58 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] camaro article - ignore Uncrunk? Apostrophe D? Man this is confusing stuff... Thanks Dave. I guess when color-coding is not enough, you can always tone. Why not use an ohmmeter?

I figured everyone toned (tone'd, audibly verified) their wires when troubleshooting... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Studly Sent: Tuesday, April 26, 2005 6:30 PM To: 'The Chevelle Mailing List' Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] camaro article - ignore In telecom and networking, 'toning' a wire can be used to identify ends of wires in multi-wire cabling. A signal generator is hooked to one end, and a probe is used to pickup the signal at the other end, resulting in a repeating tone being generated from the signal. -Dave -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Knight Sent: Tuesday, April 26, 2005 9:05 PM To: Chevelle-list@chevelles.net Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] camaro article - ignore John, I think that is when you have two wires and you uncrunk one of them. >From: "John Nasta" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: The Chevelle Mailing List <Chevelle-list@chevelles.net> >To: "The Chevelle Mailing List" <Chevelle-list@chevelles.net> >Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] camaro article - ignore >Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2005 20:35:04 -0400 > >Toned?
