Electrical/Electronics/Etc...

If I cant do it, I cant learn it. If I cant learn it, I cant do it. Get it. Good. I did A LOT of mechanical work on vehicles since I was a kid. Never got into any of the electrical. My brother did, I didn't. Anytime I looked at a multimeter or a wiring diagram my mind went uhhhhhhhhh, yeahhhhhhh. I kinda always thought I wouldn't be able to grasp it. I'm glad I could prove myself wrong. First off I learned that there are 3 possible scenarios where an electrical circuit can fail. Open, short and high resistance. Boom simple. We learned by eliminating two and tracking the one. By eliminating what the problem isn't, we can concentrate on the "is". I don't think Jeff just wanted us to figure out a whole bunch of electrical boards. If I did it 2 or 3 times I'm not learning, 30, 40, 150 times now if I can do it I can learn it. I think he did it to imprint a way of troubleshooting by filtering, by separating the flyspecks from the..... oh you know how it goes.
