HalleluiahI don't wish to discredit the status of a Master Tech, but I can quite easily believe that a certified MT might hold the opinion about the limitations of volt drop testing, in preference of resistance testing alone. For me this is complete nonsense & I would challenge anyone who tries to suggest that testing for resistance alone, is an adequate way of assessing circuit functionality. Resistance really is futile in this instance.
