Automotive Wiring and Electrical Systems (Workbench Series)
Often, wiring and electrical work intimidates automotive do-it-yourselfers the most. It’s not mechanical, and therefore, it’s unfamiliar territory. Electrons are invisible, and they can do unpredictable things in an untrained enthusiast’s eyes. Finally, there is an enthusiast’s guide that takes the mysteries and misunderstandings out of automotive electrical design, modification, diagnostics, and repair.
Automotive Wiring and Electrical Systems is the perfect book to unshroud the mysteries o

Excellent, well-written book on automotive wiring,
I’ve read just about every automotive book on the bookstore shelves and this is one of the best. The information is accurate and well written, photos support the written material with good clear color shots, and the information is easy to understand. This is the only book I know of that goes into any level of detail concerning DMMs for automotive use and why you should use them instead of a traditional test light. It also contains very good details on proper use of relays including circuit protection with clamping diodes (if you dont know what that is you will after reading about them in this book). Fuses, fusible links, wire, grounding, harnesses, its all here.
Often when reading automotive books, I get the feeling that the author knows what they are talking about but does a poor job of putting it into words that the reader can understand. Other times, the author doesn’t know what they are talking about or they are just outright wrong. This book is NOT an example of either of those. This author understands what he is talking about and knows how to explain it clearly.
If you purchased other automotive books and need one on wiring, you will be happy with this one. I am looking forward to a 2nd edition containing more projects. I’d love to see this author write a book on Engine Management (ECUs) with custom installations and tuning written in the same style as this book.

|Highly recommended,
This book is great. Having worked in the automotive field for many years now, I have read more then my share of electrical guides. Not one can compare to the content in this book.
The book covers everything from basic principles to tools, connections, installations, and troubleshooting; all of which are explained using real world situations and solutions with easy to read diagrams and pictures. Nearly every scenerio that someone could run into in the field is covered. Many myths in the 12 volt field are also laid to rest.
This book would be great for anyone with any level of electronic experience. Like I said earlier, I have been in the field for a while now….and even I learned a thing or two.

|Phenomenal!,
When I originally ordered this book, Amazon quoted me 2 weeks longer than it arrived. Needless to say it arrived earlier than expected!
Absolutely phenomenal product here folks. It is written in a manner anyone can understand. The layout is just right, and the pictures match the content perfectly. If you’re doing ANYTHING with electrical in a car, then this book will be a godsend. One of the best reasons to get this book, is the explanation of the author’s journey by learning from trial-and-error, and proper warnings throughout each chapter so that the reader doesn’t make the same mistakes the first time around (which can often be expensive to fix).
This is gold. I strongly recommend this book.
