daniel4781 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) Resistance (ohms), so the blue field. Which coil is it?, look up a datasheet so you know what range to test it with. ;-) Edited February 5, 2017 by daniel4781 typo (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rider Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) Go for the highest on the scale on the blue scale and ratchet down till you get a reading. No resistance means you have no circuit. If the scale is too high it'll still show a response just wont register a meaningful number till you get on the correct scale.
