with an older vehicle and an undiscovered milliamp level electrical fault,
use your eyes to look all over for “Green Death” corrosion deposits,
that horrible blue-green-grey colored stuff.

If you cannot find it with regular white light
sometimes using the Ultra-Violet flashlights that come with Freon leak spotting dye
in a totally dark garage will make Green Death glow faintly.

As a Christmas present I was just given a
Sharper Image Travel UV-C Sanitizing Wand
Item No 205847
that has a 4 watt UV-C tube
and an internal mercury switch that turns itself off it the light is not shined away from your eyes.

It is way brighter than my UV freon dye flashlight
or my Hunter’s urine/blood spotting UV flashlight.
