tone and probe wire tracer was Re: Pancake Compressor Power - Pete Masterson - 06-09-2007 12:34

That's exactly the "thing" I was referring to. It's now on my
shopping list. I have several circuits that I want to trace out that
are not well identified. (For example, the "back up landing lights"
only come on when the coach is in reverse -- but I'd sure like to
have some light in back when I'm unhooking the toad in a dark
location and leaving the coach in reverse while I'm working behind it
doesn't seem like a good idea.... So, I need to trace out the circuit
and 'skip over' the reverse lock out or add an alternate switch to
power them.)

Pete, if your coach is like mine you can light up the neighborhood by actuating
the security light switch by the bed. It turns on the rear landing lights and
several others. No need to trace circuits.

HomeDepot or Lowe's has an inexpensive tone tester.

I think it is like a continuity tester with a light, the difference
being you can hear a tone buzzer.

Leroy,

That's a great idea. I'll check to see if the rear lights come on
with that switch.
