 Rating:  - How to Diagnose and Repair Automotive Electrical SystemsVery good book for begginers and up. Starts off with the basics of electronics, electron theory and covers anything and everything you could possibly want to know. HIghly reccomend. Rating:  - Book is a good introductory text to a complex topicI purchased this book in order to gain a basic understanding of automotive electrical systems and I was not disappointed. I consider it to be a starting point in my understanding of how to diagnose automotive electrical systems.

I am a graduate of highly-recognized aircraft maintenance college, and have achieved above-average grades in electrical/electronic systems courses. However, during my education we hardly covered "practical" part of our profession as certified technicians. This book cleared up some of my questions and was ...
