Review on 12V Automotive Relay Tester - Electronic Car Battery Diagnostic Checker, Scan Tools with Clips, Battery Buddy Code Reader and Voltage Tester Screwdriver by Luis Thompson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Easy to use: diagnostic, testing and measuring tools

I repair a lot of tractors and relays everywhere. But unlike your car, these relays are exposed to all kinds of water and spray cleaners. This tool makes it easy to test these items. What I don't know and the documentation doesn't mention is how to test the actual relay contacts. The relay is on, but you don't know if the contacts are being tested. It would be nice to have a way to hook up an ohmmeter to test the contacts. The docs only say it checks the relay contacts, but there's no indication that the contacts are dirty, overbent, or corroded. Maybe I'll buy another device and modify it to be able to connect a measuring device.

Pros
  • Instruction manual: Tester Alligator clip to car battery, black clip to negative pole and red clip to positive pole. Select the appropriate connector according to the pins, plug the relay into the connectors and press the "Test" button. If the relay is defective, the red LED lights up. It is normal if the green LED is on. The relay test tool automatically detects the contact position of an unknown relay and provides convenient and intuitive diagnostics.
