Description
3-DAY WORKSHOP
January 14th - January 18th 2025 Fort Myers, Florida
This course is focused on providing a deep knowledge in vehicle electrical circuits along with comprehensive testing of Battery, Starting, and Charging. The participant will be presented with wiring diagrams to perform proper analysis of varied circuits controlled mechanically, conventionally and utilizing more modern logic program control (solid-state) components.
Today’s headlight bulbs have evolved from simple filaments to complex HID, LED, and laser designs. Headlights must provide enough light at highway speeds to ensure the safety of the driver but at the same time cannot blind oncoming traffic. Nanotechnology has led to LED micromirror designs that were not possible in the earlier years of the automobile. This course will explore new headlight designs, and break down the differences between Candelas, lumens, watts, Kelvin, and pixels. This course covers generic headlight aiming procedures and DOT regulations. We have also included a section on headlight control systems which illustrates the complex design used in late model vehicles.
Gain confidence in how best to utilize your multimeter and all of its different functions.
